SEO for Jersey businesses, month by month
Steady, monthly work on the pages, listings and technical basics that help Jersey customers find you on Google.
Search rankings are not set and forgotten. Google updates its algorithm, competitors publish new content, and a site that does nothing gradually slides down the results. Monthly SEO support keeps your business moving in the right direction.
Each month we review your rankings, make improvements to your pages, fix any technical issues and look for new opportunities. You get a clear report each month so you always know where you stand.
Ideal for: Jersey businesses that want to grow and maintain their Google rankings on an ongoing basis.

What you get
Common questions
How much does monthly SEO cost?
We price it per business, because the work depends on your site, your services and how competitive your searches are. Tell us about your business and we look at your site first, then send a written monthly price and what it covers before anything starts.
What is the minimum commitment?
We ask for a three-month minimum to give the work enough time to show results. SEO is a long game and month-to-month churn does not serve anyone well.
Do I need the Google Business Profile setup first?
Not always. If your website needs its basics fixing, we do an initial optimisation pass as part of getting started. If your Google Business Profile has never been set up properly, the one-off Google Business Profile setup is the quicker route into the map results, and the two work well together.
Will I be able to see what you have done each month?
Yes. Every month you receive a plain-language report covering what was done, where your key pages rank and what is planned for next month.
What if my rankings drop one month?
Rankings move, and that is normal. We investigate any drops, identify the cause and address it. Our job is the long-term trend, not a single month's snapshot.
How long does SEO take in Jersey?
Fixes to the technical basics and a complete Google Business Profile can show within weeks. Page improvements and new content usually take several months to show fully. Jersey’s small search volumes mean things can move faster than in a UK city, but it is still steady work, not a switch.
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody can promise a position on Google. What we can promise is the work: pages that answer what your customers search, a complete profile, a sound technical base, and an honest report every month from Search Console, which shows what your site actually did in real searches.
What clients say
We had over fifty years of history and nowhere sensible to put it online. Jersey Web gave us one place where clubs, events and news actually make sense to a visitor. Members find what they need without ringing us first.
Clients are often nervous before they even get in touch, so the site needed to feel calm rather than clever. It does. People arrive at the first session already knowing how I work, which makes the start of counselling easier.
We have just taken the reins of our website, love your door.co.uk. Fantastic communication the whole way through, to deliver what we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend these guys who really know their stuff. Thanks again.
Why search in Jersey works differently
Search advice written for London does not transfer to an island of about 104,500 people. The volumes are small. A local search term is typically used by tens or hundreds of people a month, not hundreds of thousands (an illustration of scale, not a measured figure for any one term). That cuts both ways: rankings move on far less work than they would in a UK city, and a handful of positions is the difference between a steady flow of enquiries and silence.
Because the market is small, the map results matter more than anything else. For most local searches Google shows a map with three businesses above the ordinary results. Google says it picks them on relevance, distance and prominence (opens in a new tab), and prominence includes your reviews and the links to your business. In practice that means a claimed and complete Google Business Profile, real reviews from real customers, and the same name, address and phone number wherever you appear online, which is standard good practice rather than something Google spells out. Our Google Business Profile setup covers that side.
Ordinary rankings then come down to having a page that genuinely answers the search. One page per service, written in the words customers use, beats a single page trying to cover everything. Pages named after parishes only work when there is something real on them, such as jobs you have done there. Thin pages made to catch a place name tend to sink.
The last part is measurement. Rank-checking tools report a position that few real people see, because results vary by device and location. Search Console shows what your site actually did in real searches, and it is free. We use it for every site we look after, and our local SEO guide covers how to read it.
