Copy Bee Creative is your place for SEO, copywriting and website strategy. Run by Ben (hello!), I help local service-based businesses get found on Google and AI search. I specialise in property, construction and trade businesses, but can apply my effective strategy to all service businesses.

Getting more enquiries is rarely just one thing: copy, SEO, your Google Business Profile and content all have to pull in the same direction.

That’s where I come in. Stronger SEO, better copywriting and website strategy turn your site into something that pulls its weight 24/7, 365 days a year.

Get your website doing the heavy lifting for you - more enquiries without the effort

So, Is your website pulling its weight?

A lot of local business owners I speak to are in the same boat. Their website exists (it might even look half-decent) but it's not ranking on Google, not converting visitors and not generating the enquiries it should.

Instead they’re relying too heavily on word of mouth, slaving away on social media or pumping money into ads just to keep the pipeline ticking. 

Don’t get me wrong, these can all play their part in growing your business. But they can be stressful. 

There’s an easier way: Get more out of your website.

Your website is an owned asset. It’s yours. Building up your website, improving your words and optimising SEO compounds over time. Together, they will help your website becomes your most reliable source of new business. All with little effort from you (that’s on me!)

My job is to see the full picture, work out what'll actually work for your business - then make it happen.

✅ Easy to work with - no faffing, no BS. I just get on with helping you and your business

✅ Always reliable, on time and on budget - non-negotiables of mine

✅ 15 years experience - I know what works and I do it properly

Reviews From Business Owners I’ve Worked With


“I wish started working with Ben sooner! Right from the start, he grasped my business needs and my vision for growing website traffic and enquiries.

Ben keeps me in the loop with monthly updates on the progress of my website, Google My Business and lays out a clear plan for boosting more site traffic.

His work is top-notch, and I can't recommend Copy Bee Creative highly enough.”

Stephen, Roe & Co Estate Agents

“Ben was great to deal with when creating our new business website making the process really simple. He kept me in the loop throughout and was very reactive to any minor tweaks I requested. Would highly recommend and would work with again.”

Sam, RSM Homes

“I’ve worked with a few content & SEO companies in the past and had poor results, so I was a bit sceptical going into this. But working with Ben has been a completely different experience.

From the start, he took the time to understand my business and put together a clear strategy that’s already delivering great results. I’ve seen a real increase in traffic and enquiries, which I never got with other agencies.

If you’re looking for an SEO company that actually delivers, I’d highly recommend Copy Bee Creative.”

I'm Ben - the man behind Copy Bee Creative. Manchester born, living in sunny Salford. When I'm not at the laptop, you'll find me out walking the dog, at the gym or being a dad. I'm a real person, running a real business - just like you and the clients I work with.

“Ok, sounds great Ben mate, but why do you care about websites and SEO so much?”

I started building websites and writing online back in 2010. Then in 2014 I was introduced to SEO. It immediately clicked for me. In 2017, I started Copy Bee on the side and never looked back.

I love how words stick around. I also love how SEO and websites compound over time in a way that social media and paid ads don't.

Combine SEO + website strategy + a passion for words, and I landed on my own humble holy trinity.

“Ben has been a great asset to our business. He's quickly gained a handle on the company "voice" and his copy is great. He has gone about making updates to our website and SEO optimisation too.”

— Lewis Riley, Medlock FRB

“Ben has been working with my business for the past couple of years. We’ve seen a huge increase and improvement in both my website and the leads generated through Google.

He’s precise and works extremely fast to produce amazing work which is exactly what the business needs. The weight that Ben has lifted off my shoulders is immense, I am so glad I’ve got him on board.”

— Katie, Smart Floral Art

“Ben has recently conducted SEO work on our new website to help it start to rank on Google and gain traction. He has been incredibly professional and knowledgeable and has been available to answer any questions we have.

The initial results already look great and we are excited to see how things develop. Highly recommend Copy Bee Creative.”

— Emily, Get Clean Carpets

“I wish I’d start working with Ben earlier! He presented me with a plan of what needed to be done and what the outcomes would be from implementing this plan - the results have been exactly as he said!

We’re now attracting far more customers and not only that - customers that are a great fit for our business. Ben is very hands on with the work too, keeping me updated regularly on the work he’s done, and ultimately freeing me up to work on the areas of the business where I’m strongest.

I also really like that he doesn’t overcomplicate things. He’s helped us nail down the fundamentals, do the things that work and do them well.

I’d 100% recommend his services - he’s added a lot of value to our business and made my life so much easier at the same time.”

— Rob, J13 Fitness

Why Work With Me?

“Ben, there’s this little thing called AI now that pumps out words. There are also tonnes of ‘SEO experts’ and shady agencies out there. Why should we bother with you?”

Ermm, fair point.

If you want SEO with no results, meaningless words or a website with precisely zero personality or true thought behind it, go for it.

But I’ve seen it SO many times now. Business owners just like you who’ve invested in SEO and been let down by people who had no idea what they were doing.

I’m different. I guarantee you that. Read more about me.
