Why it matters
Your customers are searching locally
When someone in Haywards Heath needs a plumber, a salon, an accountant or a dog groomer, they don't search for a national brand. They search "near me", or for the service plus the town - and Google shows them the local map results and the local websites first.
Whether you're on South Road, in an office on Perrymount Road or working from home in Lindfield or Cuckfield, the job is the same: make sure that when those searches happen, it's your business they find.

What local SEO actually involves
No mystery and no jargon. These are the things that move a local business up the results - and the things I'll work through with you.
1
Your Google Business Profile, done properly
The right primary category, a service area covering Haywards Heath and the villages around it, accurate hours and a full list of services. For most local businesses this matters more than the website itself - I've written about the common mistakes.
2
A website Google can understand
Clear page titles, headings and structured data that spell out what you do and where. Fast loading on phones, because that's where most local searches happen.
3
Consistent details everywhere
Your business name, phone number and area matching across your website, your Google profile and the directories that list you. Mismatches quietly cost you rankings.
4
Reviews, and a plan to keep them coming
Reviews are one of the strongest signals for the local map results. I'll help you set up a simple way to ask happy customers, and reply to every one.

Haywards Heath FAQ
Common questions
If your question isn't here, get in touch. Happy to have a straightforward chat about what you need.
Do we need to meet in person?
Not usually. Most of my work is done over phone and video calls, which keeps things quick and easy to fit around your day. If you'd prefer to sit down together, Haywards Heath is only a few minutes from Hassocks, so a meeting can be arranged.
Do you only work with businesses in Haywards Heath?
No. I work with businesses across Mid Sussex - including Lindfield, Cuckfield, Burgess Hill and Hassocks - as well as Brighton, Lewes and clients further afield across the UK.
How long does local SEO take to work?
Some changes, like fixing your Google Business Profile, can make a difference within weeks. Meaningful ranking improvements usually take three to six months. I'll be honest about what's realistic for your business and your competition.
Can you improve my existing website rather than build a new one?
Often, yes. If your current site is in reasonable shape, I can optimise what's already there. If something fundamental is holding it back, I'll tell you straight. These are the usual reasons a site doesn't rank.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need - a website build, ongoing SEO, or both. Book a free consultation and I'll give you a clear quote with no hidden costs. For a sense of the ranges, see what a small business website should cost.
