Get a free SEO audit.

Before we recommend anything, we audit your existing website. We look at your technical setup, your current rankings, what your competitors are doing and where the gaps are. You get a written report within two working days - whether you work with us or not.

Most businesses that come to us have either never touched their SEO or have spent money on it before without seeing results. The audit tells us which camp you're in and what needs to happen next. It costs nothing and gives you something useful regardless of what you decide afterwards.

HOW WE DO IT

What actually determines where you rank on Google?

Google uses hundreds of signals to decide which pages appear at the top of search results. Most fall into four categories:

Quality and originality of content.

Pages that genuinely answer what someone searched for, written for people rather than search engines.

Technical performance.

How fast your site loads, how well it works on mobile, whether it passes Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Domain authority.

The strength and credibility of your website relative to your competitors, built partly through links from other sites.

On-page signals.

how well each page is structured, titled and marked up to tell Google what it's about.

Local SEO Sheffield

Ranking in Sheffield and across South Yorkshire.

If your customers are local, local SEO is where the returns are. Searches like "plumber Sheffield", "solicitor near me" or "dentist Rotherham" trigger a different set of results to national searches - map packs, Google Business Profiles and locally relevant pages sit above everything else.

We have been doing local SEO in Sheffield since 2016. We know which terms are competitive, which are underserved and what it takes to appear in the map pack for the searches that actually bring customers through the door.

What we do

Our SEO services.

Every campaign is built around what your specific site needs - but these are the areas we work across for most clients.

Technical SEO.

Crawlability, indexation, page speed, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, canonical tags, sitemap integrity. We start here because everything else depends on it. A technically broken site cannot rank regardless of how good the content is.

Keyword research and content strategy.

We map out what your customers are searching for at every stage - from early research through to ready to buy - and build a content plan that gives your site the best possible coverage. We use Google Search Console, Ahrefs and Semrush alongside our own knowledge of the local market.

On-page optimisation.

Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking, image optimisation - the fundamentals applied consistently across every page that matters. We also advise on content improvements where existing pages are ranking but not converting.

Link building.

Links from credible external sites remain one of the strongest ranking signals. We build links through targeted outreach, content-led campaigns and local directory placement - nothing bought, nothing spammy, nothing that creates a problem to clean up later.

eCommerce SEO.

Product pages, category pages and structured data for Google Shopping. eCommerce SEO has its own requirements and we have worked across a range of platforms. An optimised eCommerce site can also be submitted to Google Shopping to appear in free product listings.

Honest expectations

What we will and won't promise you.

We will never guarantee a first page ranking for a specific keyword. No legitimate agency can - search rankings are determined by Google's algorithm. What we will do is give you an honest picture of what's achievable for your specific site, in your specific market, with your specific budget - before you commit to anything.

What you can realistically expect from a well-run SEO campaign over six to twelve months:

Anybody looking for a website marketing company this is the only company you need to deal with. These guys Ian and Tom know what they’re doing. Very very good and knowledgeable and don’t just take your money and do nothing in return they give excellent service. I was recommended to these guys after going through a very bad experience with another company and I wish I’d found them sooner. Nothing is too much trouble and there always there when I need advice and guidance. I’d give 10 stars if I could!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were able to make sure we didn't overlook anything that could significantly improve our enquiries thanks to Web and Roll.

George Baird
Tom and Ian did a great job of designing a new website for our business and providing general advice on how to increase our online presence. In the first month we have seen a marked increase in website traffic and average session duration, and a reduction in bounce rate. We have also received significantly more job applications, new business enquiries and general enquires through our new site compared with our old one.
Kayleigh Overend
We initially used Web and Roll for an SEO campaign which was very successful in achieving our aims. Following on from this Web and Roll have also designed us a new website which we are very pleased with, and run further marketing claims over Google and Facebook. Everyone we have dealt with has been responsive, knowledgeable and professional and we have been very happy with the results.
David Stebbings
Tom and Ian have been first class helping us set up our website and advising us on ongoing SEO and Google Ad campaigns. I recommend them to everyone struggling to get a great website up and running.

We have used Web and Roll for assistance with a Google Adwords account. I was sceptical at first as I was running it myself, but they clearly know what to do better than I did and I am getting a load more enquiries coming through than I was before. Would definitely recommend
Lee Drummond
Ian and Tom helped me bring my idea alive despite me knowing zero about web design. Approachable, enthusiastic and patient, all great qualities that helped me navigate my way into the unknown world of setting up my own business. They made it seem less scary, and worked with me at my pace, and with my time zone! Come to Florida Ian and Tom first rounds on me. Professional, quality and very reasonably priced. Will absolutely recommend. 5 stars from me.
Zoe Rosai
Tom and Ian not only created my lovely web site, but they are on hand to answer all my daft questions. Thank you.

Would highly recommend using these again as they were very fast and the cheapest price around....cheers lads.

Tom is amazing! He built me a new site and used key words and marketing that has changed my sales and my ranking on google substantially! l asked Tom if he could get me on the first page of google and he has done that where no one else could before. His rates are reasonable, he is friendly and professional and I highly recommend him!
