SEO Services
SEO services that fix your site first, then build the pages buyers search for
We find what stops search engines crawling, understanding and trusting your site, fix it in the templates and server configuration, then publish the pages your buyers are looking for. Reporting follows each landing page through to the enquiries and orders it produces.
Digital Growth
What is SEO?
SEO (search engine optimisation) is the work of making a website easy for search engines to crawl, understand and trust, so its pages rank for the searches real buyers make. It combines technical fixes to indexing, speed and structured data, content mapped to search intent, local and international signals, and links earned from other sites, judged by enquiries and sales rather than traffic alone.
Many SEO problems are engineering problems wearing a marketing label. Product filters that create thousands of near-duplicate URLs, templates that hide content behind JavaScript, redirect chains left by past relaunches and slow mobile pages all cap what content and links can achieve. We audit with crawl data, server logs and Search Console, then fix the cause in the code rather than handing over a spreadsheet of warnings.
Once the foundations hold, we plan pages around search intent: the commercial searches that lead to enquiries, the comparison and question searches people make before they choose, and the local searches that happen close to the point of purchase. Each page gets a defined job, a target query group and a place in the internal linking structure, so new content strengthens the site instead of competing with it.
Softweb Planet began in websites and digital marketing, and the work we have delivered includes SEO improvements to a furnishing business's WordPress site. The same team now builds Next.js applications, APIs and online stores, so SEO can be planned into server rendering, URL structure and catalogue design from the start instead of retrofitted after launch.
Challenges
The problems we are usually brought in to solve
Crawl attention spent on the wrong URLs
Parameter URLs, thin tag archives and accidental noindex rules absorb crawling while the pages that sell sit undiscovered or excluded from the index.
Several pages chasing one query
Service pages, blog posts and location pages written at different times end up competing for the same search, so none of them ranks with confidence.
Missing from the local map results
A Google Business Profile with the wrong primary category, no listed services and unanswered reviews keeps the business out of the map listings shown for nearby searches.
Visitors landing on the wrong country version
Missing or broken hreflang, shared copy across country folders and automatic IP redirects send UK, Pakistani and Saudi visitors to the wrong language or currency.
Catalogues that duplicate themselves
Variants, sort orders and out-of-stock products generate duplicate pages and soft 404 errors, diluting the category pages that should be ranking.
Rankings reported, revenue unclear
Monthly reports list positions and sessions, but nobody can say which landing pages produce enquiries or orders, so budget decisions rest on guesswork.
Capabilities
What the service covers
Technical SEO audits with fixes
Crawl, log file and Search Console analysis covering indexing, canonicals, redirects, JavaScript rendering and Core Web Vitals, followed by the code and server changes that resolve them.
Site architecture and internal linking
URL structure, navigation and contextual links planned so authority flows to commercial pages and every important page sits within a few clicks of the home page.
Search intent research and content plans
Query groups mapped to pages by intent, with briefs that set the question each page answers, the topics it must cover and the action it should prompt.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Profile categories, services, photos and review responses managed alongside genuine location pages and the same name, address and phone number on every directory.
International and multilingual SEO
Country and language targeting with hreflang, localised URLs and keyword research run separately for each market, with Arabic or Urdu copy checked by native speakers before it goes live.
E-commerce SEO
Category and product templates, faceted navigation rules, Product schema, discontinued-item handling and feed quality for WooCommerce, Shopify and custom stores.
Structured data from templates
LocalBusiness, Product, Service, Article and breadcrumb markup generated from page data and validated, so rich results stay accurate as content changes.
Migration and domain-change SEO
A crawl of staging compared with the live site, redirect maps tested against server logs, Search Console's change of address tool for domain moves, and indexing tracked page by page after launch.
Reporting tied to enquiries
Search Console, Google Analytics and CRM data joined, so each landing page shows the calls, form submissions and orders it produced.
Our process
How an engagement runs
Every engagement has a named lead, a written scope and working software to review every one to two weeks.
- 01
Discovery and baseline
A discovery call, a written proposal, then access to Search Console, analytics and the CMS so we can record current visibility, indexed pages and conversions before anything changes.
- 02
Technical audit and fix plan
A crawl, log review and template inspection produce a prioritised list of issues, each with the pages it affects and the effort needed to fix it.
- 03
Ship the technical fixes
Our developers make the changes in your CMS, theme or codebase, test them on staging and confirm in Search Console that search engines have processed them.
- 04
Build and improve pages
New and rewritten pages are published against the content plan, with internal links, schema and metadata added as part of each release.
- 05
Review and reprioritise
Your named lead shows you shipped work every one to two weeks, and a monthly review compares rankings, organic traffic and enquiries by page to set the next priorities.

Use cases
Where it makes the biggest difference
Service business in local results
A trade, clinic or studio that wants to appear in map listings and local organic results for each town it serves, without thin copy-and-paste location pages.
Store outranked by marketplaces
A WooCommerce or Shopify store whose category pages lose to large marketplaces, improved through faceted navigation rules, useful category content and Product schema.
Adding an Arabic or Urdu version
A site adding Arabic pages for Saudi searchers or Urdu pages for Pakistan, with keyword research per language, right-to-left templates and hreflang linking each page to its equivalents.
Recovery after a traffic drop
Organic traffic fell after a redesign or an algorithm update, so we trace the cause through crawl comparisons, Search Console data and change history, then fix it.
Consolidating an overgrown blog
Years of posts on overlapping topics merged into fewer, stronger pages, with redirects from the old URLs and a clearer internal linking structure.

Why Softweb Planet
Why teams choose us for this work
Developers who ship the fixes
The people who audit your site can also change its templates, server rules and code, so technical recommendations are implemented rather than queued for another supplier.
Server and CDN rules within reach
Our DevOps engineers manage server and CDN redirects, caching, HTTPS and log access, which shape crawling and speed and often sit outside a marketing agency's reach.
Content plans ranked by proven demand
Where we also manage your Google Ads, its search terms report shows which queries already produce enquiries, and those queries move to the top of the SEO content plan.
Rankings and AI answers planned together
The same team handles AEO and GEO, so entity details, structured data and answer-first sections are planned once for both ranked results and AI-generated answers.
What you can expect
- Important pages crawled, rendered and indexed as intended
- Each page targeting a clear query group without competing with its neighbours
- Consistent local and international signals for every market you serve
- Organic performance reported by landing page against enquiries and orders

SEO Services FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Technical fixes often show up in Search Console within weeks of search engines recrawling the affected pages, while ranking and traffic growth usually builds over several months. The pace depends on how competitive your searches are, the authority the site already has, how much content needs writing and how quickly changes can be deployed. We agree leading indicators at the start, such as indexed pages, impressions and rankings for target query groups, so progress is visible before enquiries rise.
No. Google's own guidance on hiring an SEO warns that no one can promise a number one ranking, because its systems decide positions, change with algorithm updates and vary results by location, device and query wording. What we commit to is a written scope, fixes implemented to an agreed standard and reports that show exactly what changed and when. We judge the work by qualified organic enquiries and sales, not by one position for one keyword.
A technical audit checks whether search engines can crawl, render, index and understand every page that matters. We crawl the site, review server logs where available, compare the crawl with Search Console's indexing reports and inspect templates for canonical tags, redirects, structured data, internal links, mobile rendering and Core Web Vitals. You receive a prioritised list of issues with the affected URLs and the effort to fix each, and we can implement the fixes ourselves.
Local SEO targets searches with a place attached, such as a service near me or in a named town, where results include map listings and Google Business Profile details. National SEO targets searches without a location, where rankings depend more on content depth and site authority. Local work centres on profile categories, reviews, consistent business details and genuine location pages, while national work centres on topical coverage and links. Many businesses need both.
We give each market its own crawlable URLs, usually subfolders, link the versions with hreflang tags and research keywords separately for each market instead of translating one list. Content is localised for spelling, currency, units and local search habits. We avoid automatic redirects based on IP address, because they can stop search engines and travelling visitors reaching the right version. Arabic pages get right-to-left templates and their own titles and descriptions.
E-commerce SEO deals with scale and duplication that service sites rarely face. Filters, sort orders, variants and pagination can generate thousands of near-identical URLs, so we decide which filter combinations deserve indexable pages based on real search demand, and canonicalise or block the rest. We also set rules for out-of-stock and discontinued products, write category copy that helps buyers choose, and watch crawl stats so new products are found quickly.
Yes, using methods that would stand up if a search engine reviewed them: digital PR around useful data or guides, supplier and partner mentions, industry directories that real buyers use, and turning unlinked brand mentions into links. We do not buy links, use private blog networks or run link exchanges, because they risk a manual penalty. For many local businesses, technical fixes and strong service pages matter more than link volume.
Yes. We work in WordPress and WooCommerce, Shopify and custom Next.js or Laravel applications, and the approach is the same: fix crawling and rendering, structure templates, then improve content. The platform changes how fixes are made. Shopify restricts some URL patterns, WordPress needs discipline with plugins and themes, and JavaScript frameworks need server rendering checked carefully. Because we are developers, we edit templates directly instead of relying only on plugins.
Yes, but less than many audits suggest. Core Web Vitals, which measure loading, responsiveness and layout stability, form part of Google's page experience signals, and Google has said a good page experience does not override more relevant content. Speed matters more to visitors, because slow mobile pages lose people before they read anything. We fix the causes that appear in Search Console's field data, such as heavy images, render-blocking scripts and slow server responses, rather than chasing a perfect lab score.
Monthly cost depends on the size of the site, the number of markets and locations, how much technical work is outstanding and how much content you need. After a discovery call we quote a fixed price for the audit and foundation work, then a monthly scope with named deliverables, so you know what each fee covers. If paid search would reach your goals faster than organic work, we tell you that early.
They show how search visibility turned into business results: impressions, clicks and rankings by query group from Search Console, organic sessions and conversions by landing page from Google Analytics and, where your CRM allows, which organic enquiries became customers. Each report also lists the work shipped that month and what comes next. Between reports you have a live dashboard, so nobody waits for a PDF to see how a change performed.
Rankings can rise or fall during a core update even if nothing on your site has changed, because Google is reassessing quality and relevance across the web. We compare affected pages before and after, check which competitors gained and look for patterns such as thin, outdated or poorly matched content. Recovery usually comes from improving those pages rather than technical tricks, and it may only show after a later update.
Usually yes, because the two cover different moments and cost structures. Google Ads buys visibility for chosen searches and stops when the budget does, while organic rankings build slowly but keep producing visits without a cost per click. Search term reports from Ads show which queries convert, which sharpens SEO priorities. Once you rank well for a term, you can test whether reducing ad spend on it loses any enquiries.
