Small Business SEO FAQs

How long does it take to see results from SEO?

The short answer is: it depends. So, what does it depend on? Mostly, it depends on the level of competition for a given keyphrase. Ranking at the top of the page on Google can be a matter of days or weeks if there is little competition for a given keyphrase. But it can also take several months if there is. If you work in an industry where competitors actively engage with SEO and have high quality websites, you have to give Google a very good reason to rank your content instead of a competitor’s. And that means creating a best in class User Experience (UX), high quality content and super clean code. The timeframe is also heavily influenced by loading speeds, the mobile user experience, domain authority and the frequency of algorithm updates. SEO is a long game but the investment is worth every single free click and new client obtained when you get it right. Talk to the SEO experts at 80/20 Digital about ranking your website. We are here to help.

SEO and small business go hand in hand. Our affordable SEO services for small businesses help you connect with potential customers at the moment they’re searching for what you offer, making it one of the most impactful marketing strategies.

Our small business SEO packages cover everything—local SEO, on-page optimisation, content strategy, and off-page efforts—all designed to boost visibility and attract relevant traffic without any unnecessary extras.

To enhance your website’s search engine ranking, prioritise keyword optimisation by integrating relevant terms naturally into high-quality content. Optimise on-page elements, ensure mobile-friendliness, and enhance site speed for a positive user experience. Build a strong backlink profile through natural link-building strategies and address technical SEO aspects. Maintain an active social media presence and regularly monitor your website’s performance using tools like Google Analytics. Adapt your strategy based on industry trends and algorithm updates, and consistently provide valuable content for your audience. Sounds like a lot right? Don’t worry, we can help!

No problem! Our Small business SEO consultants work with you to develop engaging, high-quality content with keywords that resonate with your audience and boost your search rankings, making sure your site is as informative as it is visible.

We know transparency, cost-effectiveness, and easy-to-understand reporting are important for small businesses, which is why we keep you fully informed and educated throughout the process.

Our small business SEO specialists provide detailed, regular reports covering traffic, rankings, and conversions.  With our data-driven approach, you’ll see exactly where your investment is going and the impact it’s having—no guesswork, no jargon, just real results you can count on.

They are proactive and timely and genuinely good people!”
Olivia O’Neil, Godfrey GroupDirector
“Colm and his team have assisted us invaluably on our new digital journey, from overhauling our branding and building us a shiny new website that exceeded our expectations. They really took the time to understand the nuances of our industry, which matters in our technical industry and this makes all the difference in the effectiveness of our website. We’re excited to partner with our new digital buddies as we embark on our digital marketing journey together.”
Arthur Karayannis, AscoatTechnical Manager
“Our company engaged 80/20 digital to do a brand audit and rebuild our company's new website . We found 80/20 to be outstanding in all areas from our initial meeting all the way through to handover. They more than met our expectations and from someone who manages large projects for a living, I was very impressed with the project management skills from the 80/20 team. We have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone and we will certainly be working with them in the future.”
Russell Jones, High Level RenovationsDirector, Sales & Operations Manager
"Colm, Gretel, Abbey, Rex and the team at 80/20 Digital have helped our clinics stand out from the crowd with their results-focused digital marketing and website improvements. Prior to finding Colm and the team it felt like we were throwing money away with previous digital marketing agencies. Now we have clear metrics that show us how our Google Ads and SEO are working and the improvements in our leads and results has been remarkable. The 80.20 Digital team treat your business like their own, take pride in their work and really want you to succeed through increased visibility and the number 1 position on google. We look forward to a long partnership with 80.20. Thank you."
Luke Fuller, Ace Sports ClinicOwner & Founder
“One of the things that was really important to me personally was working with someone who is going to be a partner to our firm. That’s what 80/20 Digital have done for us. They feel like they are an extension of our firm. Our business wouldn’t be where we are today without them.”
Hiona Kristianson, HKC Property ConsultantsDirector
“Colm & his team at 80/20 Digital are super attentive to detail and their ability to identify your brand and how you can position it to attract clients is second to none. If you want to grow your business and have a clear and defined brand that attracts the clients you want I couldn’t recommend the team at 80/20 Digital more.”
Peter Marmara-Stewart, PCR Accounting & AdvisoryDirector
“I have always thought SEO is a bit of a black box, you can’t really see what’s going on, so when I started using 8020Digital to manage our SEO, it was a leap of faith. Since starting a few years ago, I have found working with Colm and his team at 8020/Digital has been fantastic – we leave it all to them, and they do a great job. They come up with the strategy and the execution, leaving us to get on with our business. The best part is that phone calls and leads come in from our website, and that’s why I know that the SEO works. What more is there to say, as the proof is in the pudding. Highly recommended!”
Neville Samuels, VirtualStaff365.Director
“We have been working with 80/20 Digital for over 10 years, and I can’t recommend them enough! Their expertise in SEO and website management has transformed our online presence and significantly boosted our visibility. The team is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and always goes above and beyond to ensure our needs are met. Their strategic approach to SEO has resulted in higher rankings and increased traffic to our site, which has been crucial for our growth. Plus, they continuously provide valuable insights and updates to keep us ahead of the competition. If you’re looking for a dedicated marketing partner that truly understands the digital landscape, 80/20 Digital is the way to go. Thank you for a decade of excellent service!”
Justin Gilmour, ShowfrontSales Manager
“We have been working with Colm and the 80/20 team for the last couple of months. They are professional, thorough and spoken to me in plain English so I understand the strategy. I’ve never felt they are trying to sell me dark magic which other digital agencies make SEO out to be. Colm talks about building a website with a F1 engine behind it. We have already started receiving leads which are our ideal clients through the website. I feel like we have Lewis Hamilton driving our digital marketing strategy and more than happy to recommend to my business friends and colleagues.”
Justin Hooper, Lifestyle Led WealthDirector
"The growth and change within the business has been just astronomical, in terms of where we were four or five years ago when we started using 80/20 compared to where we are now. We can see multiple returns on what we are investing. Our Google spend is about half of what it was last year and the return is about double. It's amazing, the volume of growth they have achieved for us is just incredible!"
