How much does SEO cost in Manchester?
SEO in Manchester is quoted on scope, not from a price list. The quote reflects how competitive your keywords are, how many products or services you need to rank, your site’s technical health and how much content is needed each month. You get a fixed, written quote after a free 30-minute call.
Do you build Shopify and WooCommerce stores for Manchester brands?
Yes. We build and rebuild Shopify and WooCommerce stores, and custom Next.js storefronts where they make sense. Each store gets fast product pages, structured data for Google Shopping, consent-aware tracking and integrations with your stock, shipping and payment tools.
Can you work with media and production companies at MediaCityUK?
Yes. We build portfolio and company sites for media, production and creative firms that need to show video and imagery without slowing down. Showreels are embedded so pages stay fast, and case-study pages are structured so Google and AI tools understand what you make and for whom.
Are you based in Manchester?
No. We’re a remote team without a Manchester office. We work over video calls, WhatsApp and a shared project board, overlapping your mornings by four to five hours, with a weekly update and same-day replies to messages sent before 13:00 UK time.
Can you run Google Shopping and Meta ads for my online shop?
Yes. We set up your Merchant Center feed, run Shopping and Performance Max campaigns, and run Meta and Instagram sales campaigns alongside them. Results are reported as revenue and cost per sale, so you can see which products and audiences actually pay their way.
How does a Manchester tech start-up get recommended by ChatGPT?
By making it easy for AI tools to understand what your product does and who uses it. We publish clear product, use-case and comparison pages with schema markup, keep your company details consistent across the web, and earn mentions in tech press and directories AI tools read. No one can guarantee a specific AI answer.
Does my online shop need a cookie banner?
If you use analytics or advertising cookies, UK rules generally require consent first, so yes in most cases. We set up a consent banner and Google Consent Mode so your tracking respects visitors’ choices. Your privacy policy and legal decisions stay with you or your adviser.
