The starting point

Woodford Recycling had a strong service offer and an established local catchment, but its website wasn’t pulling its weight.

  • Most service pages ranked on page two or further back.
  • A slow, dated site that was hard to optimise was holding everything else back.
  • Service pages were too thin to compete for the searches buyers actually make.
  • Weak local signals were telling Google little about where the business serves.

What we did

How we did it

  1. A new website

    Rebuilt from the ground up with SEO in its foundations. This made the biggest single difference.

  2. Technical SEO

    Speed, crawl health, indexing and structured data, so everything else had a chance of working.

  3. Deeper service pages

    Each priority page rewritten with the depth and structure to compete, with skip hire getting particular attention.

  4. New content and internal links

    Content answering the questions buyers search for, linked back to the service pages where decisions get made.

  5. Local SEO

    Google Business Profile, citations and location signals, so Woodford shows up in the map pack.

  6. A review system

    Steady review generation, feeding both Google rankings and proof on the site.

The results

What changed

  • Online orders up from two or three a month to as many as 18
  • Six times the enquiries
  • All in the first six months, without increasing ad spend
  • Organic clicks up 1,028% and organic impressions up 1,243%, compared with the previous six months
