Included

What's included in Brighton SEO?

Good SEO is a system, not a one-off task. Every engagement covers the technical, on-page, local and content work that moves rankings, whether you trade only in Brighton or across Sussex.

  • Technical SEO audit

    We find what is holding your site back: slow pages, crawl issues, broken links and missing structure. You get a clear, prioritised list of fixes.

  • On-page optimisation

    We optimise titles, headings, content and internal links on the pages that matter most, so search engines understand exactly what you offer.

  • Local SEO and Google Business Profile

    We get you showing up in the Brighton map pack and local results, with an optimised Google Business Profile and consistent local listings.

  • Content strategy

    We plan and create content around the questions and terms your customers actually search for, building topical authority over time.

  • AI search visibility

    Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity for recommendations. We structure your site so you get found in AI search, not only Google.

  • Monthly reporting in plain English

    Each month you get a clear report on rankings, traffic and enquiries, with the next steps spelled out. No jargon and no vanity metrics.

Why us

Why choose Digital Heroes?

SEO is full of agencies that lock you into long contracts and send reports nobody understands. We are a small Brighton studio that explains what we are doing, why, and what it is achieving. We also build the websites those rankings point to.

A boutique studio, not a factory

You work with a small, senior team that takes on a handful of clients at a time. Your project gets real attention, not a production line.

20+ years of experience

Two decades across web design, SEO, video and publishing means fewer mistakes, faster decisions, and advice grounded in what actually works.

Direct access to the person doing the work

You talk to the person building your site, not an account manager relaying messages. Questions get answered first hand.

No outsourcing

Your project stays in Brighton with the studio you hired. Nothing is shipped off to a third party you never meet.

★★★★★
Tom is quite literally what he calls himself, a digital hero. Very quick, professional service.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does SEO take to work?

SEO is a medium-term investment, not an overnight fix. Most businesses start to see meaningful movement within three to six months, with the biggest gains building over time. Local and less competitive terms often improve faster than national ones, and we focus on quick technical wins early so you see progress sooner.

What's included in monthly SEO?

A typical month covers technical maintenance, on-page improvements, local SEO, content work and a plain-English report. The exact mix depends on your goals and how competitive your market is. We agree the priorities together so the budget always goes where it has the most impact.

What's the difference between local and national SEO?

Local SEO helps you show up when nearby people search for what you offer, including the Google map pack and 'near me' searches. National SEO competes for broader terms across the whole country, which is usually slower and more competitive. Most Sussex businesses get the best return from a strong local focus first.

How do you measure SEO results?

We track the things that matter to your business: rankings for your target terms, organic traffic, and the enquiries or sales that follow. We set a baseline at the start so progress is always clear. Reports are written in plain English, not jargon and vanity numbers.

Do I still need SEO if I run Google Ads?

Yes, because they do different jobs. Ads buy visibility for as long as you keep paying, while SEO builds visibility you get to keep. Used together they cover more of the search results and lower your reliance on any single channel. Many clients run ads for quick wins while SEO grows their long-term traffic.
