Is your website not coming
up in search results?
Let’s fix it with on-page SEO
At Yarm Webcraft, I provide expert SEO services to help North Yorkshire businesses get noticed online. Whether your business is in Yarm, Stokesley, Northallerton, Richmond, Thirsk or surrounding towns, I create SEO strategies that attract local customers, generate enquiries and boost sales — all tailored to your industry and location.
What is search engine optimisation?
- SEO involves a series of best practices, which help improve and maximise your website’s metadata and creative content.
- SEO helps your website rank higher in search results, making it easier for potential customers to find you.
- A well-optimised site signals reliability to search engines and users, improving your brand’s reputation.
- Strong SEO helps you outrank competitors and attract more customers.
4 reasons why your website needs SEO
Having a website is one thing—getting people to it is quite another. That’s why Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is so important to your website and your business. SEO helps your website rank higher on Google and other search engines, making it easier for potential customers to discover your business.
- Without SEO, your website will, at best, under-perform. At worst, it will fail to even rank in search results.
- SEO helps your website generate trust and credibility, both important ranking factors that Google uses in its search results.
- Once optimised, a well-designed website can continue to bring in visitors for years without needing to be re-optimised.
- Good SEO ensures that your website’s written content is authoritative and engaging, which can lead to more leads and even sales.
On-page v Off-page
On-page SEO
On-page SEO refers to the optimisation strategies applied directly to a website to improve its search engine ranking and user experience. Yarm Webcraft’s on-page SEO strategies include optimising meta tags, internal links and content quality. Well-structured headings, engaging and informative content and optimised images all contribute to better visibility in search results. Additionally, improving page speed, mobile-friendliness and user experience ensures visitors stay longer, reducing bounce rates and increasing conversions. Search engines prioritise websites that offer clear, valuable and well-structured content, making on-page SEO critical to your website’s performance.
Off-page SEO
Off-page SEO involves optimising external factors that impact a website’s ranking while also strengthening brand visibility. Yarm Webcraft’s off-page SEO strategies include listing your business in local directories, optimising your Google Business Profile and improving your presence on social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. When paired with solid on-page SEO practices, these foundational strategies can significantly enhance your website’s search rankings and online presence. While larger SEO agencies offer more extensive optimisation services, their costs can be prohibitive for many small businesses, making Yarm Webcraft a practical and affordable alternative.
Get found locally with local SEO.
Local SEO is a specialised form of search engine optimization (SEO) that focuses on improving a business’s visibility in local search results. Using location-specific keywords, I will optimise your website, your social media business pages and your Google Business Profile, so as to target potential customers in your business’ geographic or service area. I will also submit your business details to local business directories, which will create valuable backlinks to your business website whilst raising awareness of your brand in your target location.

What does the SEO process involve?
The SEO process starts with a full site audit to identify technical issues. Thorough keyword research to identify keywords relevant to your industry and location comes next, followed by on-page SEO enhancements, such as optimising content, meta tags and H tags. Off-page strategies, like optimising your Google Business Profiles completes this 4 step process.

Before making any changes, I conduct a full on-page SEO audit to identify any issues that might be affecting your website’s performance, such as coding errors, site speed, poor or absent metadata, absent or wrongly applied H tags, poor or irrelevant body copy, unoptimised images, broken links and more.

I look at your web pages’ keyword density and, where necessary, strategically place keywords for improved search performance. I perform in-depth keyword research here to ensure your website has the best chance of ranking for keywords and phrases that are relevant, both to your industry and location.
Competitor analysis
Competitor analysis is the process of researching your competitors’ websites to identify their SEO strengths and weaknesses with a view to giving your website a more competitive edge. This might include identifying niches and keywords that your competitors are not optimising for or improving on their content quality, website structure, technical SEO elements and their overall on-page optimisation.
Web page optimisation
Optimizing individual pages helps your website rank for relevant searches and delivers a good user experience. I work to improve page titles, meta descriptions, heading structures, content readability, page flow, formatting and internal linking. I also optimise any images and multimedia for faster load times.
Google Business Profile
Next to your website, your GBP is one of the most important marketing tool at your disposal, particularly if you’re offering local services. Your business website should work hand in glove with your GBP for local search rankings. I will optimise this for you, ensuring it marries up with your website content and keywords.
