Get Found on Google: Strategic Search Engine Marketing (SEM) & SEO That Works

A website is only as good as its visibility. To truly drive new business, your site needs to be not just customer-friendly, but also Google-friendly. That’s where strategic Search Engine Marketing (SEM) comes in.

Hi, I’m Nick Flewitt, founder of Plan A Marketing here in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. With over 30 years in the trenches, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial it is to get your business found online. My approach to SEM is comprehensive, blending the proven power of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) with intelligent Paid Search to ensure your website attracts the right kind of traffic – the kind that converts.

SEO: Earning Your Top Spot, Organically

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is about making your website irresistible to search engines over time. It’s how you earn organic visibility, building lasting authority and attracting customers actively searching for what you offer.

What sets my SEO approach apart:

  • A True Partnership: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all SEO. We’ll work closely to deeply understand your business, your unique value, and your ideal customers. This collaboration is key to developing a strategy that truly resonates.
  • Patience & Persistence Pay Off: Good SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. Anyone promising instant top rankings isn’t being truthful. It demands consistent effort, high-quality content, and continuous optimisation. My focus is on ethical, sustainable strategies that Google rewards, ensuring you’re found for the right reasons, building long-term results that compound over time.
  • Best Practices are My Standard: For me, SEO is synonymous with web best practices. It means ensuring your site is technically robust, user-friendly, and brimming with relevant, valuable content that genuinely helps your audience. This holistic method ensures Google, Bing, and other search engines not only find your site but also truly understand its value.

My SEO Expertise Includes:

  • Organic Search Ranking Improvement: Boosting your natural visibility for critical search terms.
  • Specialist Local Search: Dominating local geographic searches and appearing prominently on maps – essential for attracting nearby customers in Mirfield, Dewsbury, and beyond.

Google Advertising (PPC): Instant Visibility, Targeted Leads

While SEO builds long-term organic presence, Google Ads (Pay-Per-Click or PPC) provides immediate, targeted visibility. As Google is the UK’s dominant search engine, it’s often where we start to generate instant, high-quality web traffic.

How I make Google Ads work for your business:

  • Cost-Effective Traffic: I’ll show you how to drive highly qualified visitors to your site without breaking the bank. It’s all about smart bidding, precise targeting, and continuous optimization.
  • Immediate Impact: Get your business in front of potential customers at the exact moment they’re searching for your services, bypassing the time investment of organic SEO.
  • Strategic Synergy: PPC can actually enhance your SEO efforts, providing valuable keyword data, driving immediate traffic, and even influencing your overall page rankings.

Harnessing Free Google Tools: Essential for Every Business

Google offers powerful free services that are invaluable for enhancing your online presence. I strongly encourage – and help – my clients take full advantage of these:

  • Google Analytics: Understand who your visitors are, where they come from, and how they interact with your website.
  • Google Search Console: Monitor your site’s performance in Google Search, identify technical issues, and understand how Google “sees” your site.
  • Google Business Profile: Crucial for managing your local online presence across Google Search and Maps, especially important for local businesses in West Yorkshire.

Whether you need assistance setting up these tools from scratch or a thorough health check to ensure they’re optimized, I’m here to guide you. I’ll explain how to leverage these powerful resources to enhance your overall online presence and drive better results.
