I have nothing but praise for Clair and her team. I am a new business and did not even feature in a Google search and now I am on the first page! Clair's communication with me has kept me informed, and her professional approach to creating a strategy for me to move forward (and patience) has left me feeling confident and knowledgeable. I highly recommend The Handy Marketing Company and look forward to working on further projects for The Creative Desk with Clair.

Questions about SEO in Bury St Edmunds
How long does SEO take to work?
It depends on your website, market and competition. Some improvements show quickly while others build over months, and we'll be honest about what to expect before you commit.
Should I use SEO or Google Ads?
Google Ads can bring enquiries quickly while you pay for each click. SEO takes longer but keeps working without paying per visit. Many local businesses benefit from a mix, and we'll recommend what suits your budget.
Do you offer a free website audit?
Yes. Get in touch and we'll arrange a friendly conversation about your website and how search could support your business.
