Graham SEO has been delivering search engine optimisation since 2008. If you're looking for an SEO agency in Chester that actually delivers, you've found it. Led by Graham McCormack, we run a small, focused operation from our office in Ness — just down the road — and we work with Chester businesses directly. No account managers. No juniors learning on your website.
Our SEO Chester services are built around your business goals, not a template. We handle everything from technical SEO and keyword research to on-page optimisation and link building. Every SEO campaign we run is designed to increase your visibility in Chester and drive organic traffic to your website. We've generated millions in revenue for clients across Cheshire and beyond, and we can show you exactly how.
SEO services are the process of optimising a website so it ranks higher in search engine results pages. For a Chester business, that means showing up when someone searches for what you do — not buried on page three where nobody looks.
We fix the foundation — speed, structure, crawlability. If search engines can't crawl your site properly, nothing else matters. We find the issues and sort them.
We target your website content, headings, and keyword placement so search engines like Google understand each page and where to rank it. This is where precision matters.
We build authority through high-quality backlinks from trusted sources. Every link is built in-house — no outsourcing to overseas link farms. Quality over volume, always.
We get you into the map pack and local search results. Google Business Profile optimisation, citations, reviews — everything Chester businesses need to be found locally.
We structure your store so product and category pages target search intent and convert visitors into customers. We've grown stores past £1M in revenue.
Not a surface-level scan — a proper forensic review. We analyse your SEO health across speed, structure, content, and links. If something's broken, we find it.
The type of SEO strategies you need depends on your audience. Local businesses need local SEO. Companies targeting broader markets need national or ecommerce SEO. Some businesses in Chester need a combination of all three. A successful SEO strategy covers every relevant area — we'll tell you honestly which ones matter most for your situation.
Local SEO is what gets you into the map pack and local search results when someone searches "plumber Chester" or "solicitor near me." It's the difference between being found and being invisible.
A 2024 BrightLocal study found that 98% of consumers used the internet to find information about local businesses. If your local SEO isn't sorted, local customers are finding your competitors instead. We've seen it happen hundreds of times — good businesses losing work simply because nobody can find them online.
The good news? We've helped one-man operations outrank companies with ten times their budget. It's not about who spends more. It's about who executes the right local SEO strategies properly.
We start every campaign with a proper technical SEO audit. We identify crawlability issues, site speed problems, duplicate content, broken links, and indexation errors. We analyse your SEO health and fix what's holding you back.
Keyword research identifies the exact terms your customers type into Google. We analyse search intent behind each keyword and map them to your pages. This is the bit most agencies rush — we don't.
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking, content quality. Proper on-page SEO ensures your website content answers queries thoroughly. We refine existing content rather than throwing it away.
We earn high-quality backlinks from trusted industry-specific websites, local directories, and Chester organisations. Every link is built in-house. That's why our clients stay ranked while others drop off after updates.
Google processes over 8.5 billion searches per day. If your business isn't visible in those results, you're leaving money on the table. It's that simple.
Unlike paid ads, SEO generates organic traffic that compounds over time. A page that ranks well continues to drive traffic and conversion for months or years without additional spend. We've got clients still generating leads from work we did three years ago. That makes SEO one of the most cost-effective digital marketing channels available — if it's done properly.
For Chester businesses specifically, proper SEO strategies help you compete against larger brands by focusing on local relevance. When your online presence is strong and content matches what people search for in search engines, you gain a natural advantage. SEO makes it easier for the right customers to find you. That's what we focus on — not vanity metrics, but actual enquiries and revenue.
Unlike paid ads that stop the moment you stop paying, organic rankings build value over time. We've got clients still earning from work done years ago.
SEO brings visitors who are actively searching for your services. These are people ready to buy, not random browsers.
We help Chester businesses outrank larger brands by focusing on local relevance and search intent. Budget doesn't win — execution does.
Graham has been in SEO since 2008. He started in agencies, co-founded his own, then stripped it all back because clients get better results when they work with a focused, specialist-led team. That's how we operate now — as an SEO expert and SEO consultant team with 18 years of hands-on experience, not people reading from a script.
Our approach is data-driven and transparent. You get a clear strategy, regular reporting, and measurable results. We don't offer vague monthly packages. We explain what needs doing, how long it'll take, and what outcomes to expect. Bespoke SEO is the only kind that works — our SEO strategies are tailored to each business.
We've ranked a motoring law firm to #1 in the UK, grown ecommerce stores past £1 million, and helped local trades businesses go from zero to fully booked. You can view our case studies for the actual numbers. We don't hide behind vague claims — we show you the data.
As an SEO specialist team based on the Wirral, Chester is one of our closest service areas. Being local means you can meet face to face, get faster support, and work with an SEO company that actually understands the Chester area market — not some agency in London who's never been north of Watford.
We use industry-leading SEO tools and analytics to monitor ranking performance and identify opportunities for growth. We also provide web design and broader digital marketing support when needed. Guidance is always honest and direct — if something won't work, we'll tell you. We're not just an SEO agency Chester businesses hire. We're a partner invested in your SEO success, and our reputation depends on your results.
We grow Chester businesses in 4 measurable ways.
Rank higher in SERPs for the searches that matter most to your Chester business.
People ready to buy who land on your website through organic search — not random browsers.
Higher conversion rates from optimised calls-to-action and user experience improvements.
Long-term growth through sustainable search engine results that compound over time.
The best results come from a consistent SEO campaign maintained over 6 to 12 months. Rankings improve. Traffic grows. Enquiries increase. Revenue follows. This is how a successful SEO strategy takes a business to new heights. We've seen it over and over — the clients who stick with it are the ones whose businesses are unrecognisable 12 months later.
Content created for SEO also works across social media, email, and other channels. Your SEO efforts support your wider SEO marketing and improve search rankings across the board. Algorithm updates from Google happen multiple times per year. We continuously refine and optimise your campaign to stay ahead — that's our job, not yours.
Both had tried other agencies before coming to us. Both saw measurable improvement within the first 3 months.
That's not a coincidence — it's what happens when strategy is built on a proper audit, tailored to the business, and executed by a team that knows what they're doing. View more case studies →
