Our SEO Process
How We Improve Your Search Rankings
Discovery & Analysis
We begin every SEO strategy by gaining a deep understanding of your business goals, ensuring our approach aligns with what you want to achieve.
Next, we identify your target audience and the keywords they use when searching for services like yours, uncovering high-value opportunities to attract qualified traffic.
We then review your current website performance to establish a baseline and pinpoint areas for improvement. A thorough analysis of competitor strategies reveals what's working in your industry and where gaps exist for you to gain an advantage.
Finally, we assess your website's technical SEO health, identifying any issues that may be hindering search engine crawling, indexing, and overall performance.
Comprehensive Audit
Our comprehensive SEO audit begins with a detailed website position and ranking analysis to understand where you currently stand in search results. We identify technical issues that may be preventing search engines from properly crawling and indexing your site, then conduct an on-page SEO evaluation to assess how well your pages are optimised for target keywords.
A thorough content quality assessment examines whether your content meets user intent and search engine standards, while a backlink profile review analyses the quality and authority of sites linking to you. Finally, we perform mobile and speed testing to ensure your website delivers a fast, seamless experience across all devices—critical factors for both user satisfaction and search rankings.
Strategy Development
Based on our audit findings, we develop a targeted keyword strategy that focuses on high-value search terms aligned with your business goals and audience intent.
Our local SEO optimisation plan ensures your business appears prominently in local searches and Google Maps, capturing nearby customers actively looking for your services. We provide detailed content recommendations to fill gaps, improve quality, and address user search intent effectively. Technical fixes are prioritised based on impact and urgency, ensuring critical issues are resolved first for maximum benefit. Our strategic link building approach focuses on acquiring high-quality, relevant backlinks that boost your domain authority and credibility.
Finally, we establish a clear timeline with measurable milestones, so you know exactly what to expect and when throughout your SEO journey.
Detailed Reporting
You'll receive a clear, actionable report that breaks down our findings in straightforward language, free from technical jargon. All recommendations are prioritised based on impact and feasibility, so you know exactly where to focus your efforts first.
Each action includes an explanation of its expected impact on your rankings, traffic, and business goals, helping you understand the value of every step. We provide practical implementation guidance, whether you're handling changes in-house or working with us, along with a cost-benefit analysis that weighs investment against potential returns.
Finally, we schedule a Q&A session to walk through the findings together, answer your questions, and ensure you feel confident moving forward with your SEO strategy.
Implementation Support
Once your SEO strategy is finalised, we provide comprehensive guidance on executing each recommendation, ensuring you have the clarity and direction needed to move forward confidently.
Ongoing consultation is available to support you through the implementation process, answer questions, and keep your strategy on track. We help you establish progress tracking systems to monitor improvements in rankings, traffic, and conversions, making it easy to see what's working.
As your business evolves and search landscapes shift, we make strategy adjustments as needed to maintain momentum and maximise results.
Whether you prefer a DIY approach with our expert guidance or would like us to handle the implementation for you, we're flexible and ready to support your success in whatever way works best for your business.
Monitoring & Refinement
We continuously track ranking improvements to monitor your progress toward first-page positions for target keywords, while keeping a close eye on traffic growth to ensure you're attracting more qualified visitors.
Measuring conversion impact helps us understand how SEO translates into real business results—leads, sales, and revenue. Based on these insights, we refine your strategy to double down on what's working and adjust what isn't, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
You'll receive regular performance reports that clearly communicate progress, key metrics, and next steps, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Through continuous optimization, we adapt to algorithm updates, emerging trends, and competitive shifts, ensuring your SEO strategy remains effective and delivers sustained long-term growth.

SEO versus Paid Advertising
Why Invest in SEO?
| Factor | SEO | Paid Advertising |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | One-time or monthly investmentOne-time or monthly investment | Ongoing cost per click |
| Longetivity | Long-term results | Stops when budget runs out |
| Trust | Higher user trust | Ad fatigue common |
| Click Rate | 70% of clicks go to organic | 30% click on ads |
| ROI | Compounds over time | Immediate but temporary |
| Sustainability | Builds lasting visibility | Requires continuous spend |
SEO and paid advertising work best together. While ads give immediate visibility, SEO builds sustainable, long-term growth. Start with SEO to reduce your reliance on paid traffic.
SEO Timeline & Expectations
When Will I See Results?
SEO is a long-term investment that builds momentum over time, not an overnight solution. While some improvements—like technical fixes and on-page optimisations—can begin positively impacting your site within weeks, meaningful increases in organic traffic and rankings typically take 3 to 6 months to materialise.
This timeline depends on factors such as:
- your website's current authority
- competition levels in your industry,
- the quality of implementation,
- and how established your online presence is.
The good news? Once SEO gains traction, the results compound—delivering sustained, cost-effective growth that continues to benefit your business for years to come. Patience and consistent effort are key, but the long-term return on investment makes it well worth the wait.
Case Study Example: ABC Company & SEO 2026 Vision
Case Study Notes:
ABC Company recognised that achieving their ambitious 2026 vision required more than just great products and services—it demanded a robust online presence that could attract and convert their target audience. With a clear strategic timeline in place, they committed to launching a comprehensive SEO strategy on 5th January 2026, marking a pivotal moment in their digital transformation journey.
Understanding that SEO success requires both planning and sustained execution, ABC Company partnered with Patrick Stephen Limited to develop a tailored approach that would enhance their search visibility, drive qualified traffic, and position them as a leader in their industry. This case study explores how their forward-thinking commitment to SEO is set to deliver measurable growth and long-term competitive advantage throughout 2026 and beyond.
Timeline
The following timeline was set out and agreed:
Month 1-2: Foundation (05 Feb - 05 Mar)
Following the initial SEO audit, we quickly implemented easy wins like optimised meta tags and fixed broken links for immediate impact. We then finalised a comprehensive, data-driven strategy tailored to your business goals and began rolling out early technical improvements to strengthen your website's foundation. These combined efforts ensure your site is primed for improved search visibility and long-term growth.
Month 5-6: Momentum (05 Jun - 05 Jul)
By this point, your SEO strategy delivers substantial results. Target keywords achieve significant ranking improvements, often reaching first-page positions, while measurable traffic growth brings a steady stream of qualified visitors to your site. Lead generation increases as more potential customers discover and engage with your business, and the return on investment becomes clearly evident through tangible business outcomes and revenue growth.
Month 3-4: Progress (05 Apr - 05 May)
At this stage, your SEO efforts start delivering visible results. Search rankings for target keywords begin climbing, driving increased organic traffic to your website. Search engines index more of your pages, expanding your online footprint, while your local visibility grows stronger, making it easier for nearby customers to discover your business in search results and on Google Maps.
Month 6+: Sustained Growth (05 Aug +)
At this mature stage, your SEO momentum continues building. Rankings keep improving as your domain authority strengthens, while traffic growth compounds—each month building on the last for exponential gains. With a steady flow of organic visitors, your reliance on costly paid advertising decreases significantly, reducing marketing expenses. Ongoing optimization ensures your strategy adapts to algorithm updates, competitor movements, and emerging opportunities, maintaining your competitive edge for sustained long-term success.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
SEO is a long-term strategy, not a quick fix.
Results vary based on competition, industry, and starting point.
We set realistic expectations and keep you informed every step of the way.
