Websites, apps and search for Birmingham businesses, from an agency nine miles away in Solihull — close enough to meet in person, with the prices published before you call.
We are not in Birmingham, and we will not pretend to be. We are in Solihull, a short trip away — and the work a Birmingham business needs from its website does not depend on the postcode of the people building it.
Birmingham is the UK's second-largest city, and the brief changes a great deal from one district to the next. Law, accountancy and finance firms around the Colmore Business District need to be found for a specialism and trusted on sight. Jewellers and makers in the Jewellery Quarter sell to people who want to see the work before they visit. Creative and digital businesses in Digbeth tend to need something with more character than a template. Shops and trades across the city need to turn up when someone nearby searches with their phone in their hand.
They are different builds. We would rather work out which one you need on the first call than sell the same package to all of them.
From a fast brochure site your team can update itself to a platform with bookings, payments and a customer login. Built to rank from the first line of markup.
Web developmentTechnical fixes, pages that answer what your customers actually search, and the Google Business Profile work that a local business gets the most from.
SEO servicesFor retailers and makers selling beyond the city: product pages that rank, checkout that converts, and stock that stays in step with the shop floor.
E-commerceListings, area pages and enquiry handling for agents and developers working a city where the map changes with every new scheme.
Real estateSearch for almost any service with “Birmingham” on the end and you get two kinds of result: the map with three businesses on it, and the ordinary results underneath. They are won in different ways, and an agency that blurs the two is usually selling something.
The map results are decided mostly by distance from the person searching, by the Google Business Profile and by reviews. A business in Edgbaston will not show on the map for someone standing in Erdington however good its website is, and no agency can change that. What can be done is making the profile complete and accurate, keeping your name, address and phone identical everywhere they appear, and building a steady habit of asking happy customers for reviews.
The ordinary results are where a website competes, and where a good page beats a big budget more often than people expect. That means a site Google can crawl quickly, a page for each service you want to be found for, and copy that answers the questions customers ask before they pick up the phone — written for people in Birmingham rather than with the city name pasted in.
The first month is usually the same for everyone: fix what stops Google reading the site, set up the Business Profile and Search Console properly, and find the searches you can realistically win first. You will see exactly what was done and what it changed.
Most of a project runs over calls and shared screens wherever the client is, and pretending otherwise would be selling proximity rather than engineering. But the first conversation goes better across a table, and so does the meeting where something has drifted and needs resetting.
From Solihull that is an easy trip: a short drive to most of the city, or the Chiltern line into Moor Street. We are happy to come to your office, meet in the city centre, or see you at ours. There is more about where we are on the Solihull page.
We are in Solihull, at 2 Rowlands Crescent, B91 2JF — about nine miles from the city centre, and around a quarter of an hour by train from Solihull to Moor Street. We say so because a lot of agencies ranking for Birmingham have no presence in the West Midlands at all. Meeting at your office, in the city centre or at ours are all easy.
Only if the work is better. Location changes how easily we can meet, not how a site is built. What we can offer a Birmingham business is senior people on the work, published prices, and a straight answer about what will and will not move your rankings.
Web development starts at $1,499 and SEO at $399 a month — the same published rates as for any client. What changes the price is scope: a brochure site for a practice in the Colmore Business District and an online shop with stock and payments are different projects.
The map results rank largely by how close a business is to the person searching, and by its Google Business Profile and reviews. Nobody can move your address. What we can do is set the profile up properly, make your name, address and phone match everywhere, build the pages that support it and help you collect genuine reviews — which is the part that is in your control.
Months, not weeks, for competitive phrases — Birmingham is the UK's second city and the agencies, solicitors and trades here all compete for the same searches. The faster wins are usually narrower: a service plus a district, a specialism, or the Business Profile. We would rather start there and show movement than promise page one for the broadest term.
Yes. Birmingham is one of the most multilingual cities in the country, and for some businesses a second language is where the customers are. We build multilingual sites with the hreflang markup that tells Google which version to show to whom, and our team speaks Urdu.
