SEO Cork

SEO in Cork that makes the phone ring.

We do SEO for Irish businesses that need enquiries, not a monthly report full of graphs. That usually means local search, fixing whatever is technically broken, and writing the pages your customers are actually searching for. We'll tell you upfront if we don't think we can help.

What SEO actually is.

SEO is the work that puts your business in front of people searching for what you do on Google. It's not a one-off job. It's the ongoing process of making a site technically sound, giving it content that answers the right questions, and building enough authority that Google trusts it.

Done right, it's the part of your online presence that compounds. A well-ranked page brings enquiries every day without you paying for each click. That's the goal.

The phone ringing, not a report full of graphs.

What our SEO covers.

The full picture, not just the bits that are easy to report on.

Local SEO

Google Business Profile, local citations, and Cork-specific rankings.

Google Business Profile

Keyword research

Finding the searches your actual customers are making, not the ones that look good in a report.

Technical SEO

Site speed, crawlability, Core Web Vitals and indexing, fixed in the code rather than reported on.

WordPress SEO

On-page optimisation

Title tags, headings, internal links and page structure, page by page.

Content strategy

New pages and improvements to what's already there, aimed at the searches that bring enquiries.

Competitor analysis

Where they're ranking, why, and how to get there faster.

Local SEO for Cork businesses.

Most of our Cork clients care most about one thing: showing up when someone nearby searches for what they do. Local SEO is the focused version of that.

It's often quicker to show results than national work, and the leads are better because the person searching is already nearby and already looking.

Honest timelines.

SEO takes time. Anyone who promises page one in thirty days is either wrong or about to get you penalised.

WeeksTechnical fixes show up

Speed, indexing and structural fixes are the first things Google notices.

3 to 6 monthsMeaningful movement

Most clients see meaningful movement in this window. Some much sooner.

Months and beyondCompetitive terms

Rankings for competitive searches take longer, and they compound once you have them.

What you can expect from us: clear timelines at the start, honest updates when things take longer than expected, and no disappearing once the work is under way.

How it works.

We start with an audit and get on with it. You always know what we're doing and why.

  1. A proper auditNot a PDF full of red traffic lights. A real read of where the site stands, what it ranks for and where the realistic wins are.
  2. A straightforward planWhat gets fixed first, what new content is needed, and what we measure.
  3. Fix the technical sideSpeed, indexing and structure, fixed directly in the site.
  4. Build the right pagesContent for the searches your customers make, plus improvements to what is already there.
  5. Report in plain EnglishMonthly: what moved, what we did, what is next. No jargon reports.

Why us.

Three things that matter, instead of three things that sound good.

We built the site too, or we can.

SEO is faster and more effective when the person doing it can also change the code, fix the speed issues and add pages without waiting on another agency.

No black-hat shortcuts.

Link schemes and keyword stuffing work briefly and get cleaned up by Google in the next update. We don't do them, because they hurt clients.

You know what's happening.

Monthly reports in plain English. A real phone number. A person who reads your Search Console data, not a tool that reads it for them.

SEO pricing.

The number moves with the scope: how competitive your sector is, how much content is needed, and whether technical work on the site is included.

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes show up in weeks. Rankings for competitive terms take months. Most clients see meaningful movement within three to six months, and some much sooner.

How much does SEO cost?

Monthly SEO retainers typically start at €400 to €600 a month for a local or single-service business. The figure depends on how competitive your sector is, how much content is needed, and whether technical work is included.

Is local SEO worth it for a Cork business?

Usually, yes. It's often quicker to show results than national work, and the leads are better because the person searching is nearby and already looking for what you do.

Do you use link schemes or shortcuts?

No. Link schemes and keyword stuffing work briefly and get cleaned up by Google in the next update. We don't do them, because they hurt clients.

What do the monthly reports look like?

Plain English: what moved, what we did, and what is next. A person reads your Search Console data and explains it, not a tool.

Can you do SEO on a site you did not build?

Yes. And if the site itself is holding you back, we can fix the code, the speed issues and add new pages directly, without waiting on another agency.

Can I get a one-off audit first?

Yes. A one-off technical SEO audit is available as a standalone service, so you get a clear picture before committing to ongoing work.
