Award-Winning SEO Agency
In Manchester

Yes – absolutely and local SEO is one of the elements of SEO strategy that we offer. If you are a local business or are potentially looking to attract footfall to your shop then local SEO will be very important to ensuring that you get the right kind of customers to achieving your on-site goal and this is definitely something that we can help with, either within the Manchester area or nationwide.

No worries – we work with businesses right around the UK, Europe and across the world so we have a great deal of experience running SEO campaigns of all different sizes in all different locations. With the advent of video calling we can work effectively with businesses on the other side of the world, applying the same great SEO principles and achieving the same great SEO results as we would in our own market.

The SEO community in Manchester is absolutely thriving and we try to be as active as we can within the Manchester SEO Community – you can even see a report here from our latest event at MissingLink LIVE.

Having a strong SEO community is incredibly important to success and development in this area and we are always keen to develop and upskill by attending events within the local community – something that we frequently encourage our staff to do. 

Absolutely it does – chances are that you have searched “seo agency Manchester”, “seo services Manchester” or “Manchester SEO company” (or something along those lines!) to reach this page. The proof is in the pudding! 

We’re based right in the heart of Manchester just off Portland St, so very centrally located with an office which is easily accessible by car or public transport.

Our central location allows us to attract the best talent as well as placing us well to easily get out and about to visit our clients when needed. 

Absolutely we can help with local SEO and we understand that for many businesses, local SEO plays an important role in helping them to attract the right customers, especially if they have a physical store or are looking to target customers within a specific location.

Local SEO works in a slightly different way to traditional SEO but has the same key principles around generating good authority, quality and expertise – it’s just about showcasing it on a local scale. Here at Cedarwood we have a lot of experience in local SEO and are on hand to help! 

The cost of SEO varies depending on your goals, the competitiveness of your industry, and the level of support you need. At Cedarwood, we offer bespoke SEO packages tailored to each client’s needs — whether you’re a Manchester-based startup looking to grow locally, or a national brand aiming to dominate search. Our campaigns typically start from £1,500/month, and we’ll always walk you through the deliverables and ROI expectations upfront.

SEO is a long-term investment, and while some improvements can be seen within the first few months, most campaigns start delivering significant results between 3 to 6 months. This depends on your site’s current health, the level of competition in your market, and how aggressively we’re able to push through technical and content improvements. That said, we track and report on progress from day one — so you’ll always know what’s happening and why.

While you may serve a national audience, working with a local Manchester SEO agency has real benefits. We can meet in person, understand your business landscape, and use our regional insight to craft strategies that outperform cookie-cutter approaches. Plus, we often find quick wins in your local SEO visibility — especially useful for brand awareness, recruitment, and trust signals.

We take a truly integrated approach to SEO — blending technical expertise, high-impact content, and digital PR to drive real commercial outcomes. We don’t sell SEO as a tick-box exercise; we build strategies aligned with your revenue goals. Add to that our award-winning team, transparent reporting, and strong local track record — and you’ve got a Manchester SEO partner focused on long-term growth, not just rankings.

Absolutely — we’re proud to be based in Manchester, and we’re always happy to meet clients face-to-face. Whether you want to pop into our office for a strategy session or host a monthly catch-up at your place, we’re local and flexible. Prefer remote? No problem — we’re equally effective over Zoom.

Yes. While most of our clients work with us on a monthly retainer, we also offer standalone SEO audits, consulting sessions, and project-based SEO for site migrations, content launches, or technical troubleshooting. These are often a great starting point if you’re not ready for a full campaign but want expert insight into how to improve your site.
