Cheshire.
I’m a white hat (which means safe, organic, Google friendly) SEO consultant, based in Cheshire (Poynton, near Macclesfield, Stockport & Wilmslow) UK.
If you’re based in the Cheshire area - then it makes a lot of sense to work with an SEO consultant or company also based in Cheshire - rather than working with an SEO firm in London for example, so that you can actually meet your SEO consultant face to face if required.
Also, you have the peace of mind that when using a local consultant - if you’re not happy with anything, you can go banging on the door for answers, whereas this isn’t quite the case if you’re dealing with an SEO consultant based on the other side of the UK - or in a different country entirely.
If you’re interested in hiring the services of an effective & affordable Cheshire SEO consultant, then email me, or request an SEO quotation.
Macclesfield Town Hall
If you’re looking for SEO Services in Macclesfield , or search friendly web design services - then you’re not at all far off, I’m based in Poynton, a short distance from Macclesfield - and regularly visit Macclesfield to visit existing clients.
I was born & raised in Macclesfield - went to Tytherington High School, then Macclesfied College. Not that this makes a blind bit of of difference when deciding which SEO consultant to use - I’m just trying to shamelessly shoe-horn a few more Macclesfield related references in to this blog post ;-).
I’m a safe, white hat SEO (no risky tactics) consultant, which means that I faff around with websites to get them ranked higher on Google & the other major search engines - but I do it without doing anything that the search engines class as off limits.
Generally speaking I can get new websites indexed on Google within a few days (my record so far is a few minutes, but that’s just fluke) but the real value comes from ranking on page one of Google for search terms that your potential customers are likely to be searching for - and that’s what I focus on.
Don’t be fooled by the telesales organisations promising to get you guaranteed page one Google ranking - successful search engine marketing isn’t just about getting to page one, it’s about having the knowledge & experience to know which terms to aim to get to page one for - and then having the knowledge & skills to do what is required to get the site onto page one for these terms.
I built these skills up by necessity originally, as I couldn’t afford to pay the prices that I was being quoted for the REAL search engine optimisation services I’d come accross, and I was savvy enough to know that those who seemed affordable - weren’t offering real SEO services - so I started to learn to do it myself, for my own websites - made a complete hash of it, and learned from there.
I also project manage affordable search engine friendly web design.
I’ve been doing SEO for quite a few years now, but that’s not really all that important, as the search engine world changes so frequently, that what matters isn’t how long someone’s been doing SEO, but how well they’ve kept up with how it’s been changing.
I’ve kept up pretty well - and I’m good at what I do, but don’t take my word for it, let me put my money where my mouth is. Drop me an email, and if you’re close to the Macclesfield area I’ll come & say hello (Coffee, white, no sugar ;-)) - or if you’d prefer, just fill in the online SEO quotation form.
Poynton, Stockport, Cheshire.

I’m an SEO consultant
So you’re looking for affordable SEO services - in other words, you know that you need to hire the services of an SEO consultant, but you don’t want to re-mortgage your house in order to do so. That’s fair enough.
Just beware however - when shopping for SEO services based on cost, as search engine optimisation, as with all marketing services, is an ROI based service, the return will be determined by the quality & effectiveness of the service carried out.
So while it’s totally understandable in today’s financial climate in the UK & the US (most of the world in fact) that you don’t want to go crazy, at the same time, going for the cheapest cost search engine optimisation services, isn’t necessarily the best idea.
If you spend £1000 with SEO consultant A, over the period of 3 months, for example - and you get a return of £3000, then that is obviously a better deal than spending £500 with SEO consultant B, and getting £250 return.
Obviously this isn’t to say that you’re guaranteed to get a better return by hiring more expensive SEO services, but you know what I’m saying - be wary of shopping based just on price when looking to hire the services of a search engine optimisation consultant, or any form of marketing consultant.
I am an SEO consultant based in Poynton, Cheshire (in between Manchester & Macclesfield, not far from Wilmslow & Stockport).

If you’re looking for affordable SEO services from a consultant who has the ability to deliver great results - then contact me
I’m in a village called Poynton, just outside of Stockport, about 20 mins from Manchester, about 10 mins from Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Alderly Edge, Prestbury and any other cheshire towns I can think of to blatently shoe-horn in here 
I’m a Cheshire SEO consultant - but that doesn’t mean I only offer my SEO services in Cheshire.
I’ve worked with clients in London, Dublin, Australia, NewZealand & the US - so you don’t have to be based in Manchester or Cheshire for me to work with you.
I work mainly with start up businesses, home based businesses, and small - medium businesses.
I don’t have any particular favourite industry to work within - whether you’re a car dealer, a florist, an undertaker, a solicitor, a kitchens / Bathrooms supplier - a fire eater… whatever - I’ll be interested in working with you, in fact one of the things I love about SEO is the different clients I work with, it helps to keep things interesting.
So if you’re interested in working me me, request an SEO quotation or drop me an email
If you’re in the cheshire area then we can arrange to meet up for a chat, if not then we can discuss over the phone, email or Skype.
So, you know that you need SEO services in order to increase your results on the organic Google results (and other search engines) - and although you’re probably aware that you could have a go at doing it yourself, you’ve decided that you’re going to find out how much it will cost to hire the services of a professional SEO consultant - so you’re now looking for a quotation from a decent SEO consultant?
Look no further…
Haha, that sounds SO tacky, but I’ll leave it in anyway for the heck of it.
The truth is, there are plenty of SEO consultants out there who can give you a quotation, I’m not the only one - I’m also not the only search engine optimisation consultant who knows what they’re doing, there are other very good SEO consultants in the UK, even other very good SEO consultants in Cheshire, in the UK where I’m based, including Manchester, Stockport & Macclesfield.
So, not every one needs to use my SEO services - and it’s a good job too, because I wouldn’t have the time to become everyone’s SEO consultant, I’ve only got one pair of hands!
But I’m easy to work with - I’m not cheap, but my rates are competitive, and my SEO services are highly effective.
So if you’re interested in working with me request an SEO quotation or just email me
If you’re looking for a cheap website - you’re probably considering downloading & customising a template.
Be careful!
Many of the templates you can download & customise, are :
Built in flash - which causes accessibility & search engine friendliness issues.
Difficult to personalise - with only certain parts of the website being editable, which means you’ll potentially have a website which is very similar to many other websites.
Cheap looking
slow loading
And - in many cases, you could have had a brilliant looking website build for a few hundred quid, ok probably a bit more than you’d have paid for a template - but you’d be left with something worth having…
One thing you need to remember, is that your website needs to be search engine friendly - so you can drive traffic to the website from the free, organic search engine results - but also, your website needs to be able to convert visitors into paying customers, or there’s no point in doing it.
This isn’t to say that template driven sites are bad - on the contrary, my £199 SEO web design offer is a template driven website - but it’s a high quality, highly tailored solution that starts off with a template, which is then professionally tailored to look & perform the way it needs to for you.
Why Google is the Search Engine To Focus on.
If you’re starting to optimise your website for the search engines - you may well be thinking about the “3 major search engines” ?
Well, in my opinion, the three major search engines are :
and - yes, you guessed it : Google!
Yes, there are other search engines out there - but the simple fact is, that Google on average provides at least three quarters of available traffic - and in many cases even more than that, so my philosophy is to focus 100% on Google, and results with the other search engines, are a bonus.
Will this ever change? Maybe - the web world can change quickly, and if it ever does change, then we need to change accordingly, but for now at least, Google is the place to be.
If you focus on Google, you’ll usually end up having some success on the other search engines anyway, so I’m not saying you don’t want traffic from Yahoo or Bing, but that it makes more sense to focus on Google predominantly.
Recently, a client told me that a well known UK business directory, who do a physical directory & an online directory (you can probably guess who, if you’re in the UK) sold them an online ad, based on the SEO benefit this ad would have as a backlink.
So, you can imagine their anger when I highlighted the fact that the backlink they had been given, would provide no SEO benefit whatsoever!
Most of the directories who’re selling ads which include a backlink to your website, use the “NoFollow” attribute. Which means that visitors may follow the link to your website, but search engines will not.
Backlinks to your website which include the NoFollow tag, have absolutely no search engine optimisation benefit, no link juice can flow via a NoFollow backlink.
This isn’t to say that a NoFollow link is of no value - it may well be of value in terms of direct traffic, but many advertising sales people will try to increase the perceived value of their offer by selling also based on the SEO benefits of a backlink.
Even if they don’t use the NoFollow tag in outbound links, a backlink from a paid directory may pass no linkjuice anyway, it depends on whether Google trusts the directory.
If you’re selling backlinks, Google expect you to use the NoFollow tag. Directories who blatantly sell inclusion without using the NoFollow tag, may well lose their ability to pass on linkjuice - so even if a directory doesn’t use the NoFollow tag, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there will be any SEO value from the backlink.
So, once again I’m not saying don’t advertise in paid directories - but only do so based on the direct value from the backlink in terms of the traffic that you will get to your site as a result - don’t count on any indirect SEO benefit from the link, as the chances are there isn’t any, regardless of what the sales person says.
