Search Engine Optimisation

Rank higher, attract more qualified leads and outperform your competitors.

Oxfordshire-first SEO retainers. I help businesses in Oxford, Abingdon, Witney, Banbury and across the county improve visibility in Google Search. For UK-wide brands, I deliver remotely with the same data-led approach.

The Foundation of Online Growth

With more than half of all web traffic coming from organic search, SEO is the cornerstone of digital marketing. My SEO services are designed to help your business stand out in crowded markets and generate consistent, high‑quality leads. I combine technical expertise, strategic content and ethical link building to drive lasting results.

How My SEO Retainers Work

Before any optimisation begins, I make sure your SEO retainer Statement of Work is signed, the invoice is paid, and I have full access to your CMS, analytics, search console and hosting. I also set a reporting baseline so I can accurately measure progress. If any precondition is missing I pause delivery and work with you to resolve it.

Each month I follow a proven priority hierarchy to maximise impact:

Technical health: I fix crawlability, indexing and performance blockers before tackling anything else.
On‑page optimisation: I refine existing pages for search intent, improving titles, meta descriptions, heading structure and internal relevance.
Internal linking & structure: I strengthen your site architecture to distribute authority and help users navigate.
Content optimisation & expansion: I enhance priority pages and only recommend new content when it’s justified by data.
Monitoring & analysis: I review key performance indicators over rolling 3–6 month periods, staying calm through short‑term volatility and adapting to algorithm updates.

My focus is on high‑impact actions rather than ticking boxes. If performance dips I systematically review technical health, recent changes, algorithm updates and competitor movements before making recommendations. You’ll receive clear monthly reports detailing work completed, wins, risks and next priorities – without vanity metrics or unrealistic promises.

SEO is an investment in long‑term growth. I require 30 days’ written notice to cancel a retainer so I can wrap up work responsibly and provide a smooth transition.

Pricing

My SEO retainers start from £300 per month. I offer three clear packages — The Essentials (£300/month), The Growth (£600/month) and The Domination (£1,000/month) — scaling based on your industry and goals. Each engagement begins with a comprehensive audit and competitor analysis so I can tailor a plan to your objectives.

Why Partner with Code‑Flux?

I don’t believe in one‑size‑fits‑all SEO. Instead, I build custom strategies grounded in data and aligned with your business goals. My reporting is transparent and focused on metrics that matter: rankings, traffic, leads and conversions. Because I also design websites and build automation systems, I ensure your SEO strategy works seamlessly with your site’s design and your marketing technology.

Success Story: SN Mortgages

When SN Mortgages, an Oxfordshire‑based mortgage advisor, approached me their website was invisible in local search results, sitting on pages 4–5. After a comprehensive SEO overhaul—including technical fixes, on‑page improvements, local citations and review generation—their organic traffic increased and rankings rose to Page 2, with some services pages now firmly on the first page of Google for competitive search terms. Read the full SN Mortgages case study to see how my strategy delivered measurable results.

Local Focus

If you operate in a specific area, generic national optimisation won’t cut it. I specialise in local SEO for service businesses across Oxfordshire and surrounding counties. I optimise your Google Business Profile, build citations and create location‑specific landing pages that rank for “service + Oxfordshire” searches.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does SEO take to show results?

SEO is a long‑term strategy. For local service businesses I typically see meaningful ranking improvements within 3–6 months, with compound growth over 12 months. Quick fixes rarely produce sustainable results.

Do I need a Google Business Profile?

Yes. A Google Business Profile helps you appear in the map pack and provides valuable signals to Google about your relevance and trustworthiness. I’ll optimise and manage your listing as part of my local SEO service.

What’s the difference between local and national SEO?

National SEO focuses on ranking for broad, often high‑competition keywords across an entire country. Local SEO targets searches within a specific geographic area and emphasises signals like proximity, relevance and reviews. For most Oxfordshire SMEs local SEO delivers faster, more qualified traffic.
