SEO for Devon businesses
Hardly anyone searches for a service “in Devon”. They search for a plumber in Newton Abbot, a roofer in Exeter or a solar installer in Exmouth. Ranking across the county really means ranking in a set of towns, each with its own competitors.
So we do not sell county-wide SEO as one job. We agree the towns and services that matter to you, get your website and Google Business Profile right for the first of them, and then widen the area as each one starts to bring in enquiries.
Where we work
- SEO in Exeter, including Marsh Barton, Sowton and the towns around the city
- SEO in Torquay and the rest of Torbay
- SEO in North Devon: Barnstaple, Bideford, Ilfracombe and the coast
- Plymouth and South Devon, East Devon and Mid Devon, from the same Exeter team

Getting found in AI answers
Google now shows AI-written answers above the normal results for many searches, and people ask ChatGPT for recommendations too. These tools draw on pages that answer a question clearly and on businesses whose details and reviews match across the web.
We write your pages so they are easy to quote and keep your business details the same everywhere. Nobody can guarantee a place in an AI answer, but you can make your business the easy one to name. Read more about AI search optimisation.
How long SEO takes
SEO is not instant, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something. Technical fixes can show within a few weeks. Steady page-one positions for local searches usually take three to six months, and competitive terms take longer.
We tell you at the start what is realistic for your trade and your area. There is no long contract, so you can judge us on the monthly report.
Affordable monthly SEO
We keep our SEO affordable for all types of small business, from start-ups to established companies. The cost depends on how competitive your trade is and how many towns you want to cover, and you get a clear written quote before anything starts.
