“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.”

Is Your Website Invisible To Potential Customers Searching For Your Service?
There’s a common problem with service-based businesses. They've often got a great reputation and a decent (or half-decent) website, but they're nowhere to be seen on Google.
Instead they're relying too much on word of mouth, throwing money at ads like there’s no tomorrow or slaving away on social media to keep the pipeline ticking.
What’s annoying here is that your ideal customers are already out there searching for exactly what you offer. They just can't find you.
It doesn’t need to be this way.
And if you’ve dabbled with SEO before. Does one of these sound familiar?
Charged a small fortune by an ‘SEO specialist’ and seen nothing from it
Burned by an agency that promised the world and delivered nothing
Assured by your website developer that they’ve ‘done SEO’ on your site…then crickets
You're not alone. Believe me. I’ve seen these examples so many times and it’s so frustrating.
With me you get transparency, actions and results.
“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.”

SEO Services That Move The Needle For Your Business
I put straightforward, effective SEO strategies into action - no overcomplication, no smoke and mirrors voodoo stuff.
Actions may take the shape of:
SEO audits and action plans
On-page optimisation
Content strategy
Local SEO and Google Business Profile optimisation
Monthly retainers and one-off projects
I understand there’s only one thing you really care about though: more business
My experience means I can quickly identify the priority SEO areas for your business. I can then put improvements in place to get your business ranking higher on Google and bringing in the right enquiries.
It’s important to say that SEO isn't a quick fix - it's a longer term investment that compounds over time.
Get it right and your website becomes your most reliable source of new business that works for you on autopilot. Happy days.
“Ben has been working with my business for the past few years.
I'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.”

Businesses I’ve Helped With SEO Services
Why Work With Me?
I’ll be honest, the SEO world isn’t short of snake oil salesmen. Those who promise the world but don’t deliver.
I’ve seen businesses owners just like you let down time and time again. I’m different, I promise you that. Read more about me.
As Jon of Storm Fitness Academy put it, “You’re a very authentic guy who does not over or understate anything. Basically you’re honest! That’s a rare quality in our industry.”
What else you get with me:
-
Strange to say I know, but there are a lot of grifters out there. I have 15 years of digital marketing experience. I've managed SEO channels for large, FTSE-listed companies driving over a million sessions a month. I’ve also helped local business owners get an extra 100 sessions a month that’ve had a significant impact on enquiries and revenue.
I know what needs to be done for your business (and if I don’t I’ll be completely honest with you).
-
I don’t like overcomplicating things and I won’t baffle your head with jargon to justify a higher fee. For me, simplicity brings clarity. It also brings focus.
I keep things simple and actionable with clear strategies and straight talking.
-
You brief me, I deliver. No endless meetings or creating a plan of a plan for a plan. I prefer getting clear during the initial stages on exactly what you want, then putting the actions into place. Once we start, you won’t need to chase me or hold my hand. I’ll give you reliable, quality work on time and on budget.
-
I'm a business owner too. I know what's at stake. It’s not about ticking a box and moving on for me, I become invested in the people I work with and actively want your business to grow.
-
Growing websites, getting people to them, making them work harder for businesses - I love this game. And unlike social media or ads, SEO compounds over time. Put the work in properly and it will pay off into the future.
-
5 stars on Google, real clients, real impact. This is what Copy Bee Creative is all about.

— Lewis Riley, Medlock FRB“I’ve been using Ben for SEO and other marketing help with my website for the past year and already seeing lots of success from this!
Would highly recommend!”
— Rachel, Palms Bakery“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 for websites and SEO services.”
— Sam, RSM Homes
“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
Frequently Asked Questions on SEO Services
-
Longer than most SEO agencies will promise you, but shorter than a lot of business owners fear.
Think of SEO as a longer term investment. I can usually find a few quick fixes but you should start to see early movement within the first 3 months - better rankings, more impressions, increased traffic.
But the real results come at 6-12 months and beyond. The compounding effect of good SEO means it keeps building over time. If you're looking for overnight results, paid ads might be a better short term option.
If you're thinking long term about your business, SEO is one of the best investments you can make.
-
It depends on what you need. Local SEO packages start from £400 per month. For one-off audits and projects, I'll put together a quote based on your specific situation. Whatever you need, I'll always be upfront on cost before we start.
-
Both. Some businesses need a one-off SEO audit and action plan to get them moving in the right direction. Others prefer an ongoing monthly retainer where they hand everything over to me for consistent improvements and results over time. We'll figure out what makes most sense for your business and budget.
-
Every business is different so there's no one-size-fits-all approach. The usual process involves an initial SEO audit to identify what's holding your website back, keyword research and targeting, on-page optimisation, content improvements and local SEO where relevant. You'll always get a clear plan upfront so you know exactly what's being done and why.
My SEO work goes hand in hand with my website copywriting services to turn those visitors into enquiries.
-
I hear this a lot. The SEO industry has a reputation problem due to its behind-the-scenes nature. Some people take advantage of this. I don’t.
Working with me means: you work directly with me, not a junior account manager. I don't overcomplicate things to justify higher fees. I give you honest timelines and realistic expectations. And I don't tie you into long contracts you can't get out of. If I don't think I can help you, I'll tell you.
