Where to start

Start with the problem you actually have

Four things bring a Halifax business to an SEO agency. The site is nowhere for the searches that matter, the map pack shows three competitors and no sign of you, the work is taking longer than anyone said it would, or you want to know what a page needs before Google will rank it. Each one has a proper answer here, and a chip takes you straight to it.

Find you. Trust you. Choose you.

Where SEO sits, and what has to sit around it

Being found gets the most attention on this domain, because a customer cannot trust or choose a business they never saw. The other two jobs decide whether the visit turns into an enquiry, and we work on those as well.

Find you

Being found: the main job here

A Halifax customer can meet you in the organic results, in the map pack or in an AI answer, and each of the three has its own rules. We work on all of them at once, starting wherever you are losing the most.

  • Organic SEO
  • Local SEO
  • Google Maps and the map pack
  • Google Business Profile
  • Technical SEO
  • Keyword research
  • Service and location pages
  • Links, citations and digital PR
  • AI search and AI Overviews
Trust you

Being believed when they land

A first-page position sends people to a page, and the page then has to prove the business is real and good at the job. Reviews, photographs of actual work and written-up results do that, and search engines read them as evidence too.

  • Google reviews
  • Written case studies
  • Project photography
  • Video
  • Accreditations
  • Helpful guides
  • Team profiles
  • Social proof
Choose you

Being chosen over the next result

Your visitor has three tabs open. An obvious next step, a form that asks the right questions and a phone that gets answered are what turn a ranking into work, and we track which pages are doing it.

  • Conversion optimisation
  • Calls to action
  • Enquiry forms
  • Landing pages
  • Clear messaging
  • Lead tracking
  • Conversion tracking
  • Analytics

Search work for businesses in and around Halifax

Three clients within a few miles of Halifax, and what the search work has done for each of them.

RB Electrical van and team on a commercial electrical job in Halifax Electrical contractor · Halifax · SEO, content, ongoing marketing

RB Electrical

Business
An electrical contractor in Halifax, registered as R.B Electrical (Halifax) Limited, covering commercial and domestic work plus EV charger installation as an OZEV approved Rolec installer.
Problem
A homeowner after an EV charger and a facilities manager after a commercial electrician are two different searches, and one page listing every service was never going to rank for either of them.
Work
Brand, website, SEO and content, with the marketing kept running since. Every specific service, EV charging among them, got a page of its own with enough on it to rank in its own right.

An average of around two organic leads a week for five years, at roughly a 5:1 return on the investment.

Standeven Flooring

Business
A commercial flooring contractor at Hipperholme, with a Halifax postal address, established in 2003 and sending installation teams to retail and commercial jobs nationwide.
Problem
The old site gave no sense of the scale of the contracts, so a buyer weighing up fitters had little to go on and Google had little to rank.
Work
We redeveloped the website, then photographed and filmed jobs as they happened, the M&S Food store in Pudsey among them, and turned that into ongoing content and search work.

A web presence that matches the size of contractor Standeven has become, and showing jobs like Pudsey has helped win more large contracts.

“Halizona have done a great job on our recent website update, providing great support as well as excellent on-site video footage and social media posts. Highly recommend Dave and the team.”

Bond Brickwork

Business
Brickwork and masonry for the national housebuilders, from a Brighouse base a few miles from our own, on major residential developments across Yorkshire.
Problem
Developers pick a brickwork subcontractor by searching the trade and the area, and a site with almost nothing on it was leaving that work to whoever came up first.
Work
Website, marketing channels and business systems, designed and built by us and managed ever since, with the search work running from 2018: project pages, capabilities and drone photography from live sites such as Swarcliffe in Leeds.

At the top of Google for the commercial brickwork searches that count, and recommended by AI search when developers ask.

About Halizona

The Halifax marketing company behind the SEO

Halizona is a marketing company in Halifax, West Yorkshire, and Halifax is home turf. Our clients are established businesses across West Yorkshire and nearby areas, including Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, Leeds, Keighley and Skipton.

SEO is one part of the job. Websites, AI search, content, social media, photography, video and marketing strategy sit alongside it, and on most accounts two or three of those run at the same time, because a page that ranks still needs something worth reading on it.

Approaching 20 years in websites and digital marketing went into the way we work, and Halifax is where we do it from. The businesses we suit best are good at what they do and want the right people to know it.

Find you.Trust you.Choose you.

Help the right people find you. Give them genuine reasons to trust you. Make it easy for them to choose you.

Common questions

SEO in Halifax, the questions we get asked

How long does SEO take before we see anything?

A few months before the trend is clear, as a rule, and it keeps building after that. A technical fault that has been holding the site back can show up in weeks once it is fixed. A competitive Halifax term with established rivals on page one takes longer.

If you need work next month, say so, and we will tell you whether search is the right first move or whether paid search should go first.

Can you guarantee a first-page ranking?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who says they can. Google decides the results, and nobody outside Google controls them.

What you get from us is an honest read on which of your searches are winnable, what it would take, and roughly when to expect movement, with the numbers to check it against as we go.

What happens if we stop?

The pages keep ranking for a while, because what has been earned does not vanish the day the work stops. Over time competitors catch up, the profile goes stale and the new content dries up, so the position drifts.

Better to know that going in than to find out after a year.

How do you report on the work?

On the numbers that matter to you: enquiries, phone calls and the searches that produced them, alongside impressions and clicks from Google’s own data. Rankings go in too, as context.

Our second company value is that you always know what we are doing, why, and what it is achieving, and the report is where that gets kept honest.

How much does SEO cost in Halifax?

A fixed monthly figure, agreed after we have looked at your site and at who already ranks for the searches you want. Two things move it: how competitive those searches are, and how much the site needs adding to it before it can compete.

If the honest answer is that search will not pay for itself in your market, we will say so before you spend anything.

Do we need a new website before starting SEO?

Not usually. If the site can be crawled, loads quickly on a phone and lets us add pages, the search work can start on the site you have.

Some sites are holding a business back badly enough that no amount of SEO will rescue them, and we will tell you if yours is one. We build websites as well, so we have no reason to dress that up either way.

Can you get my business into ChatGPT and the AI answers?

We can make it far more likely. AI assistants and Google’s AI Overviews draw on the same things that drive rankings: clear pages that say what you do and where, reviews, named projects and mentions on other sites. Dolphin Heating in Huddersfield is first on Google for female gas engineer Huddersfield and is named in the AI answer, after we built the site around the phrase people actually type.

Nobody can promise an AI will name you, and we will not pretend otherwise.

Do you work with trades and construction businesses?

More than any other kind. RB Electrical, Bond Brickwork, Standeven Flooring and Dolphin Heating are all trades or construction businesses, and between them they cover Halifax, Brighouse, Hipperholme and Huddersfield.

The searches in those trades are unusually specific, which suits SEO well: a page built for the exact job a customer types has a fair chance of ranking without a fight.

Where we work

Which parts of Halifax and Calderdale do you cover?

All of them, and the search work rarely stops at the borough boundary. RB Electrical is in Halifax itself, Standeven Flooring is at Hipperholme and Bond Brickwork is over in Brighouse, and past those we work across Huddersfield, Bradford, Keighley and Skipton.

Want more Halifax customers finding you first?

You may not need more marketing. The parts you already have might just need pointing in the same direction, and search is usually where that starts.
