Audit
We check your site, Google Business Profile, rankings and local competitors, and rank the fixes by impact.
SEO That Compounds: Technical, Content & Measured
CodeKodex is an SEO agency for small businesses in the UK, including trades and local services. We fix the technical problems holding your site back, get you into the Google Maps results and publish content that answers what your customers search for. Every month you get a report on what we did. Plans are monthly rolling from £199 a month.

Built for businesses that win work from search
Local SEO gets your business found by people searching nearby, in the Google Maps results and in the ordinary results underneath. Our local SEO services work on both, every month. We start with your Google Business Profile, because for most local searches it’s the first thing people see.
The full breakdown, including how we set up service-area businesses with no shopfront, is on our local SEO services page.
We correct your categories, services, hours and description, then post to your profile every month so it never looks abandoned.
We list your business on relevant directories with the same name, phone number and location every time. Matching details help Google trust that you’re real and where you say you are.
Page titles, headings, copy and internal links fixed on up to 5 of your most important pages. Each page gets one clear search to target, such as a service plus your town.
From Local Growth, a simple routine for asking happy customers for a review after each job. Reviews help your map rankings, and they’re often what decides whether someone calls you or the next business.
We check crawling, indexing, speed and Core Web Vitals, and fix what’s broken. There’s little point writing new pages if Google can’t index the ones you already have.
Articles that answer the questions customers ask you on the phone, from Local Growth up. Growth Plus adds 2–3 quality backlinks a month, which matters most in competitive areas.
Early movement is often visible within the first 2 months, and meaningful gains usually take 3–6 months. How fast depends on how competitive your area is and how quickly Google recrawls your site. Profile and citation fixes tend to show first. Rankings for busy searches take longer.
We don’t guarantee rankings, because nobody honestly can. We commit to the work listed in your package, done every month, and we track your keywords so you can see which way things are moving.

No. All three CodeKodex SEO plans are monthly rolling, and you can cancel with 30 days’ notice. There’s no minimum term. Your monthly report shows what we did and where your tracked keywords moved, so you can judge the work on results each month and decide whether to carry on.
No. Nobody can honestly guarantee a position in Google, because Google alone decides who ranks. We commit to the work listed in your package, every month, and track your keywords so you can see progress in your monthly report. Be wary of any agency that promises you a #1 spot.

Yes, from Local Growth. Local Growth includes 1 article a month and Growth Plus includes 2, each answering a question your customers search for before they get in touch. Local Starter concentrates on your profile, citations and on-page fixes instead. Content beyond the package scope, such as extra articles, is quoted separately.
Yes. We work within your existing theme and plugins to fix technical issues, tidy page titles and headings, and add structured data where it helps. You don’t need a new website to start SEO with us. If someone else built your site, we can work alongside them.
Yes, on Growth Plus, which includes 2–3 quality backlinks a month. On every plan we put site quality, content and internal linking first, because links do most for a site that’s already in good shape. We avoid paid link schemes and low-quality link networks.
We track your keyword rankings, organic traffic and the enquiries that come from search, using GA4 and Search Console. Every plan includes a monthly report with clear next actions, so you can see what each month’s work produced. Growth Plus also adds a live performance dashboard you can check at any time.
Yes. If you cover several towns or service areas, we build area pages and citations for each one. For other countries or languages, we add hreflang and localised metadata. Both are quoted at a fixed scope, so you know the cost before we start.
Only for the better. We test each change and roll it out in small, checked steps rather than one big, risky release. Your site stays live throughout, and your monthly report sets out what we changed, so nothing happens on your site without you knowing about it.
The free website check is a quick look at 5 things, such as speed on a phone and your Google Business Profile, and costs nothing. The Full SEO audit (£149) is a complete review of your site’s SEO with a prioritised fix list you can work through yourself, hand to your developer or ask us to do.
