We are based in Leeds, ten minutes from the station, and we build for both halves of this city: the professional firms in the centre and the trades working the suburbs around them.
Live within ten working days of brief lock, or the second half of the invoice waits until it is one 20-minute call and we do the rest price fixed in writing before anything starts
Distances are straight-line from Leeds city centre. Every build is run by the same person, wherever you are.
Copywriting, on-page SEO, hosting and changes are all in it, live in ten working days, and the site becomes yours outright. Start on the launch fee and leave any month, or commit for 12 months and we waive the fee entirely.
The most common thing Leeds searches alongside this is the word free. Free costs you the year it takes to find out it does not work. The number below is for the whole thing: design, copy, the search work and the changes after launch, with one senior on it and the figure fixed before you sign.
The same studio that builds the site is the one that gets it found.
Leeds is the most contested local search market in Yorkshire. The three map pack slots for the money terms are held by studios with review profiles in the 150 to 220 range built over a decade, and the organic results below them are mostly local agencies rather than national brands. That shape matters, because the map pack is won with a Leeds address and review volume while the organic results are won with depth.
The honest limit in Leeds is that map pack. Three slots, held by firms with a city-centre address and ten years of reviews behind them. If you sit outside the centre we can win you the organic results and the searches around your own area, but we are not going to promise you the top three for the citywide term, and anyone who does is selling you something.
Leeds professional services clicks are among the most expensive outside London, and the city has established paid specialists competing for them. Wasted spend costs more here than anywhere else in the region: a loose keyword in Leeds burns budget several times faster than the same mistake in Wakefield. Tight match types and a real negative keyword list matter more in a market this competitive, not less.
Leeds is where a badly built account does the most financial damage, precisely because the clicks cost the most. If your budget sits at the £750 floor, a Leeds-wide professional services campaign will buy you very little. A tighter geography or a narrower service almost always beats a bigger budget here, and we would rather narrow the campaign than take more of your money.

The studio is in Leeds. Where the client sits has never decided whether we take the work. These were picked because the problem each one solved is the problem Leeds businesses most often arrive with.
Leeds is the largest legal and financial centre in the country outside London. The commercial law firms all keep an arm here, the banks and insurers hold back-office estates that employ thousands, and the accountants, recruiters and consultancies that feed on them fill the rest of the city centre. Channel 4 moved its national headquarters here. Two universities push tens of thousands of graduates into the city every summer. Wrapped around all of that is a very large trades and services economy working the suburbs, from Headingley and Horsforth out to Wetherby and Rothwell.
The problem in Leeds has never been that nobody is searching. It is that the top of the search is expensive and long since taken. The studios holding the map have had a decade to collect the reviews behind them, and a profile opened this year cannot catch that by writing better copy. Above them sit lead-selling directories, so a fair share of the clicks never reach a studio at all. Meanwhile the person you are quoting has probably already been given a five-figure number by a city-centre agency, and is using it to judge everybody.
Three studios hold the map here, each trading ten years or more.
An agency from outside treats Leeds as one market. It is two. A commercial law firm on Park Square and a roofer in Bramley are both Leeds businesses, and almost nothing about their two websites should be the same.
We cover the wider West Yorkshire patch around Leeds, including Headingley, Horsforth, Morley, Pudsey, Garforth, Otley, Wetherby and Rothwell.
You probably have, and the quote was not dishonest. It pays for an account manager, a project manager, a designer, a developer and the floor they all sit on.
Our number is lower because that list is one senior person instead of five, and the work goes into the site rather than into managing the people making it. You are not being offered less. You are being offered the same thing with the overhead taken out.
It is the most common story we hear in this city and it is why the work is visible daily rather than at milestones.
You get the homepage concept within twenty four hours of the brief being locked, and a short video at the end of every working day showing what changed. If we go quiet you will know inside a day rather than three weeks, and you can walk out on thirty days' notice.
Most of them mean they will fill in the title tags. Ask any of us the same question: what will you write, for which search, and what does the business get from that search today.
If the answer is a package name rather than a plan, you have learned something. Ours ships with the build rather than being sold to you again in six months.
One senior person, and you will know their name before you commit to anything. Nothing is passed to a junior, offshored, or handled by an account manager relaying messages.
The studio is a ten minute walk from the station if you want to put a face to that, which is a check worth making on anybody you are about to pay monthly.
Because Google is putting them there. When we last checked, four lead-selling directories sat above every actual studio for this search, and a fifth block of map listings sat above those. It means the first thing most people click is a form that sells their details on to several agencies at once. Worth knowing before you judge any Leeds studio by where it sits in the results, and worth knowing about what happens to your phone number afterwards.
One monthly, including copywriting, on-page SEO, hosting and the changes after launch, and the site becomes yours outright at month 12, or on the day the launch fee clears if you would rather pay it. We give you the figure on the audit call, and it is the figure on the invoice.
Not the citywide one, and we will not sell you that. The three slots for this search were held by studios with 46, 167 and 220 reviews built over a decade. What is winnable is the organic results underneath and the searches happening in your own part of the city, which for most businesses is where the work actually comes from.
Yes. The studio is a ten-minute walk from Leeds station and we meet clients at brief when it is useful. The build itself runs on a daily Loom video so you see progress without needing a meeting for it.
Honestly, that depends where you are. The Leeds pack for agency terms held businesses with 8 to 42 reviews when we checked, which is reachable, but the pack for web design terms held 46 to 220 and is not, at least not this year. We tell you which of those two fights you are actually in before you pay for anything, because they need very different amounts of money and time.
Less hard than the city's reputation suggests. About 480 people a month search for an SEO agency in Leeds and the organic results for it are far less defended than the city's reputation implies, which is unusual for the most contested market in Yorkshire. The competition here is concentrated in the map pack and in web design terms rather than in the SEO organic results.
Probably not, and this is against our own interest to say. That term gets about 260 searches a month and Google classifies the intent as navigational, meaning most of the people typing it are looking for a specific agency they already have in mind. Your money goes further on the searches your customers actually make, which are your service plus your area.
