What does keyword research involve?

Keyword research finds the searches your customers actually use and maps each one to the page that should rank for it.

This includes analysing your market, reviewing competitors, and understanding the intent behind different searches.

The aim is to ensure that every keyword selected matches your business objectives.

Using trusted tools and reliable data, I focus on terms with the right balance of search volume and competition. I also look for opportunities your competitors may have missed.

The result is a clear SEO plan that supports content creation, product or service pages, and wider marketing efforts. By knowing how your audience searches, we can position your website or your client’s website to attract more qualified traffic and improve visibility where it matters most.

What does technical SEO cover?

I run a full technical SEO audit to make sure your website can be crawled, indexed and understood by search engines.

This process identifies issues such as crawl errors, broken links, poor mobile usability, and slow page speeds.

Every recommendation is written so it can be implemented quickly by you, your developer, or your client’s development team.

The goal is to fix the underlying issues that limit rankings and user experience.

With a stronger technical foundation, your website is better placed to perform in search and provide a smooth experience for visitors.

What is on-page SEO?

I optimise your website content so it is clear, relevant, and aligned with the right search terms.

This includes reviewing titles, headings, content structure, and internal linking.

I address content gaps, improve readability, and ensure that each page matches the intent of the search queries it targets.

Where appropriate, I add structured data so that search engines can better interpret your content.

The outcome is a website that is easier to find in search, more relevant to visitors, and more effective at generating enquiries or sales.

I prepare your site for visibility in AI-powered search results.

This includes optimisation for Generative Engine Optimisation, Answer Engine Optimisation, and Generative Search Engine Optimisation.

The process involves structuring content so that it can appear as a direct answer in AI search tools.

I also refine your site for conversational queries and ensure key information is easy for search engines to understand.

This approach helps keep your website visible in both traditional and AI-driven search results.

How do you find what’s holding a site back?

I carry out a full review of your website to assess its SEO performance and overall health.

The findings are presented in plain language with clear actions that can be implemented by you, your team, or your client’s team. The goal is to give you a practical plan that leads to measurable improvements.

How is Search Console and Analytics data used?

I review Google Search Console and Google Analytics data to find patterns, issues, and opportunities.

This analysis shows which pages are performing well and which need attention.

I look at search queries, click-through rates, and trends over time to guide future SEO work.

The outcome is a set of insights you can use to refine content and target the most valuable search terms.

How do you protect SEO when a new website launches?

I make sure new websites are ready for search engines before they go live.

This includes checking technical setup, reviewing the site structure, and mapping keywords to key pages.

If the site is replacing an older version, I put the right redirects in place to protect existing rankings.

I also ensure sitemaps and indexing settings are correct.

This gives your new website the best chance of being indexed quickly and starting to attract traffic straight away.

Where in Devon do you work?

I run Lekker Marketing from Ilfracombe, North Devon, and work with businesses across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and the UK. Most SEO work is carried out remotely.

There are dedicated pages for SEO in North Devon, SEO in Barnstaple and SEO in Exeter. For Google Business Profile and map results, see local SEO.

What happens in an SEO review?

I provide regular reviews to keep your website’s SEO performance on track.

These reviews check that previous recommendations have been implemented and are working as intended.

I monitor rankings, traffic, and site health to spot new issues before they affect results.

Each review includes updated recommendations to maintain or improve performance over time.
