Small Business SEO services in Kent

Local SEO is crucial for small businesses in Kent aiming to attract customers within specific geographic areas. At Amplified SEO, we specialise in optimising your online presence to ensure you rank higher in local searches and appear in the coveted Google 3-Pack (Map results).​

We begin by optimising your website with location-specific keywords relevant to your business. This includes ensuring your metadata, content, and schema markup align with best practices for local search.​

For instance, if you're a plumber based in Canterbury, we aim to have your website appear for keywords that drive qualified traffic and leads, such as 'Plumbers in Canterbury' and 'Boiler repairs Canterbury'.​

Beyond on-page optimisation, we assist in building high-quality local citations on directories like Yell, Thomson Local, and industry-specific sites. Maintaining consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) information across all platforms strengthens your presence in Google's local search results.​

With the rise in mobile searches for "near me" queries, we also ensure your website is mobile-friendly and fast-loading, adhering to Google's Core Web Vitals.​

Technical SEO lays the foundation for a well-optimised website, ensuring search engines can efficiently crawl, index, and rank your pages. This is as important for small business websites as it is for large e-commerce platforms.​

At Amplified SEO, we conduct comprehensive site audits to identify and resolve critical technical issues that may hinder your search engine performance.

A crucial aspect of technical SEO is site architecture and internal linking. A well-structured website with a clear hierarchy facilitates easier crawling and indexing by search engines. We optimise URL structures, create XML sitemaps, and configure robots.txt files to guide search engines appropriately.​

Our team also addresses broken links, eliminates duplicate content, and implements canonical tags to prevent indexing issues.​

60% of web searches are now carried out mobile devices, so we focus on ensuring your website is fast loading and secure based on recommendations from tools such as Google Core web vitals. We also implement structured data markup which is relevant to your business.

We utilise advanced tools like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and third-party platforms such as Ahrefs to track key performance indicators (KPIs), including organic traffic, keyword rankings, conversion rates, and backlink profiles. By analysing this data, we identify trends, strengths, and areas for improvement to refine our strategies.
