SEO Services in Sheffield

Looking for SEO services in Sheffield but want practical improvements rather than vague promises? I help businesses improve the technical and on-page side of SEO — the parts that affect performance, site quality and how easily search engines can understand your pages.

I’m Michael Wood. My work focuses on technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, content structure, indexing issues, tracking and the code-level problems that can hold otherwise good websites back.

Good fit for: slow websites, ranking issues, weak page targeting, indexing problems, tracking problems and messy technical setups.

Core Web Vitals & site speed

Website maintenance ↗
Common problems

The SEO issue is not always “you need more content”

Search visibility

Pages not ranking well

Weak targeting, duplicate intent, poor internal linking, thin structure or technical issues can stop useful pages performing as well as they should.

Performance

Slow site performance

Heavy themes, oversized media, third-party scripts, plugin bloat and poor loading behaviour can damage the user experience and make a site harder to use.

Indexing

Crawl & indexing issues

Robots rules, canonicals, noindex tags, redirects and structural problems can prevent the right pages from being crawled and understood properly.

Measurement

Tracking does not match reality

GA4, GTM and conversion tracking are often set up badly, making it difficult to know which pages, campaigns and enquiries are actually producing results.

Not sure what is wrong yet?

That is fine. Send me the website and explain what you are seeing — for example rankings dropping, pages missing from Google, poor mobile performance or unreliable tracking.

SEO support for Sheffield and South Yorkshire

I work with businesses in Sheffield and across South Yorkshire on practical SEO improvements — particularly where the main issues are technical, structural or performance-related.

That can include an existing WordPress site, WooCommerce store, bespoke PHP website or a site that has simply become messy after years of changes.

How I work

Fix the foundations before chasing more traffic

View pricing
01

Understand the problem

Start with the pages that matter, the current search issue, technical setup and what you actually want visitors to do.

02

Prioritise useful fixes

Work through the issues that can genuinely improve crawlability, relevance, speed, tracking or conversion rather than creating work for the sake of it.

03

Keep it maintainable

Changes should improve the site without turning it into something fragile or difficult to manage later.

FAQ

SEO services Sheffield — common questions

Do you offer technical SEO rather than general SEO packages?
Yes — my work is strongest on the technical and implementation side: speed, structure, indexing, page quality and tracking.
Can you improve existing pages rather than build a new site?
Definitely — many SEO improvements come from fixing what is already there rather than rebuilding everything.
What do you need to quote?
A link to the site, the pages you care most about, and a short explanation of the ranking, indexing or performance problem.
Do you work with businesses outside Sheffield?
Yes. I am based in South Yorkshire and work remotely with businesses across the UK. This page is specifically focused on Sheffield businesses and Sheffield SEO searches.
