What's Unique about SEO and the search market in Halifax?

Halifax, with its rich industrial heritage and growing service sector, presents unique opportunities for businesses looking to establish a strong online presence.

The town's diverse economy, ranging from traditional manufacturing to modern retail and professional services, creates a competitive landscape where effective SEO can make a significant difference.

Our local expertise in Halifax allows us to develop SEO strategies that resonate with the town's unique market characteristics and help businesses stand out in this competitive environment.

Halifax SEO strategies that connect heritage brands, makers, and service firms with high-intent buyers

Halifax is reshaping its identity: revitalised mill conversions, the Piece Hall’s cultural pull, and a manufacturing base that still anchors Calderdale’s economy. Search demand reflects that mix—tourism queries spike alongside B2B research from procurement teams across Yorkshire. Our Halifax SEO campaigns surface you for both.

We pair technical upgrades (essential for legacy sites running on older CMS setups) with Halifax-specific landing pages, digital PR tied to regional events, and conversion copy that speaks to professional services, engineering firms, and destination-led businesses.

Digital Mark SEO Services

On page SEO

Our team will make sure that the pages on your website are a good fit for the search terms you want to appear for. This involves optimising the on-page elements you can see and the ones you can't. We will only ever use white-hat strategies that fall in line with Google webmaster guidelines.

Technical SEO

Technical SEO is about the stuff you can't see. Things that are usually determined when your website was first developed. It's the foundation that everything else will be built on.

Mobile SEO

Mobile SEO is like technical SEO but specific to mobile devices. Mobile search is now more popular than desktop search, so optimising your site for mobile users is essential.

Local SEO

Most businesses we work with want local visitors to their website, but they also want visitors from outside their local area. Our goal is to show Google that your business serves those areas too.

Off page SEO

Off-page SEO is everything that happens on other websites. It includes backlinks, social signals, guest blogging, and even video content on YouTube.

Great content

Unique, useful content is a deciding factor for Google. Answering every question a user may have ensures they won't need to look elsewhere.

Conversion rate optimisation

Once you've got a visitor on your website, you want them to convert. This is closely linked to having great content and strong calls-to-action (CTAs).

Our SEO Process

1. Campaign roadmap and setup

By the time you agree to a campaign with us we'll already know what you want to achieve. We will have already looked at your competitors and know how to get an edge on them. This is the time for us to plan what steps are needed to achieve it.

2. Technical SEO

We start all campaigns with technical SEO because we find websites often struggle to improve rankings if they don't have a solid technical foundation. Things like slow page load times or web vitals can impact user experience. We've seen it pay to start this process early in a campaign.

3. On page SEO

We'd then say on-page SEO is the next most important factor early on in an SEO campaign. We'll take care of the basics first like meta data. The important thing here is to make sure your pages are tightly focused on the keywords that you want to rank for.

4. Mobile SEO

Google crawls websites with its mobile spider first now. We work on improving mobile core web vitals not only to tick boxes for Google, but to give your mobile visitors a better experience.

5. Local SEO

For the vast majority of our clients, this is the good stuff. It's what's going to get you ranking for “SEO Leeds”, if that's what you're aiming at. Once all the on-page and technical stuff is at a good level, we'll start creating specific landing pages optimised for what you do.

6. Content optimisation

You'll still need great content if you want to rank at the top of Google. We'll work with you to create content that leaves Google no option but to rank you higher than your competitors.

Live SEO Reporting with Google Looker Studio

Want a progress report on how your SEO is performing? As a 100% transparent SEO agency, we've developed our own SEO dashboard using Google Looker Studio. All clients can access their SEO dashboard at anytime using their client login. It's a really in-depth report but also a fantastic SEO tool.

Your SEO Dashboard will show you live SEO data and insights including:

  • Organic Traffic
  • Click through rates (CTR)
  • Individual keyword tracking
  • Performance comparisons by period
  • Opportunities for growth
  • Heatmap

Quickly spot opportunities for growth

Pages 2 keywords and page 1 keywords with low CTR are often overlooked because they aren't tracked properly. But these are key areas for growth because they are often keywords with a high buying intention.

SEO Growth Chart

Track the Keywords that matter with the Digital Mark SEO Dashboard

Site-wide SEO metrics like click-through rate and Google position don't always provide an accurate picture of website performance. The ability to track the keywords that matter gives you a much clearer picture of how your SEO campaign is performing.

Keyword Performance Chart

Drill down into individual keyword performance and track it over time

Once a month we'll talk you through all the data, explain progress and action plans, and of course answer any questions you have.

What SEO tools do we use?

When executing our SEO strategy for clients we use what we consider to be the best SEO software and tools on the market. To us that's SEMRush integrated with Google analytics (UA & GA4) and Google search console. We use this as our main day to day SEO platform as it provides everything a professional SEO team needs. Things like keyword research and tracking, competitor analysis tools, reporting and technical website analysis.

If we need extra detail we'll use Screaming Frog for a deeper website structure analysis. This lets us crawl any website and get precise knowledge of every technical detail. Perfect when taking on an established website as a new project or trying to outrank a tough competitor.
