Manchester SEO Costs
In a thriving city like Manchester, SEO is more difficult than in less competitive parts of the UK. Unless you’re very niche in what you offer, you’ll find that many other companies are trying to outrank you organically for the same search keywords.
Some of your competitors may be based in Manchester, but some may be large national or global firms with a large SEO budget, that realise that Manchester is a thriving city, and are therefore paying an SEO agency lot of money to rank high for their products and services in Manchester.
But remember – only one company website can rank at the top spot on the search engines, and with enough focus and effort and expertise, that website can be yours.
Our team of experts have experience in ranking competitive keywords with over 10,000 searches per month in large cities like London and Manchester, or UK-wide.
When selecting an SEO agency for Manchester, focussing on the cost of the monthly fee is likely to lead you to a bad choice, because there’s no point paying a fee for months on end and never getting the results you want.
The cost to rank on page 1 of Google is low with us, because we get you there so fast, even though our monthly fee may be higher than your average Manchester SEO Company.
Our Local SEO Focus
From our Piccadilly Place office in central Manchester, we are well-placed to serve Mancunian businesses.
Many of our clients have a Manchester focus and need an agency familiar with local geography, business, and culture, along with enough skill to rank them for highly competitive search terms.
We understand the city’s heritage, of the “birthplace of the Industrial Revolution” and have the passion and skill needed to help you make it to the top.
We help larger firms to rank throughout the metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester or UK-wide, and local businesses to rank in their own specific region of Manchester, for a more focused and lower-cost campaign.
Our regional offices in Chesterfield, and London, give you full national coverage if need to widen your marketing campaign outside the North West.
Why UClimb
The only constant in SEO is change. Search engines frequently update their algorithms, so to keep up to speed, we modify our approach accordingly.
That said, the overall aim of search engines like Google to rank websites based on relevance and quality doesn’t change, just the factors that they use to assess that.
To keep you ahead on the SERPs, we keep up to date with Google’s latest guidance on search essentials, and use evergreen trustworthy SEO techniques that are not ‘black hat’ or regarded as spam by Google.

FAQs
Whilst SEO is our main focus, we offer a wide range of inbound digital marketing services, including Google Ads and Bing Ads management (PPC), Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO), User Experience enhancements (UX), and more.
We are also passionate about designing e-commerce and lead-generating websites that load fast, look great and provide a top-class user experience.
Our experienced web developers can either fine-tune your existing website or else create a new highly optimised website from scratch, with SEO built-in to the design, not just an afterthought.
By choosing UClimb as your website designer, you can rest assured we will take a balanced approach, finding the overlap between great visual design, search engine optimised structure, conversion rate optimisation, and friction-free user experience.
SEO is still by far the best sales-generating marketing tactic we know of in 2024 and has a better ROI in our experience than PPC advertising and offline marketing activities.
We speak to most clients at least monthly to check on how our results are contributing to their broader company-wide sale and marketing strategy, and can honestly say we have yet to find any digital marketing that gives a better return on investment so consistently, compared to SEO.
That said, SEO definitely works better in some industries than others, and a broad generalisation would be that it works best in either specialist B2B or in any B2C scenario. If you are selling widely-available commodity products to businesses, most of your target customers will probably know of several potential good suppliers already, and therefore are less likely to do a Google search for your product or service, compared with if you were selling something less readily available. See our blog The Disadvantages and Advantages of SEO for further commentary on this topic.
There is a lot of noise out there around what kinds of marketing work best in 2023. We suspect that if someone tells you categorically that SEO doesn’t work in 2023, it’s because either a) they’ve not seen what amazing results come from top-of-first-page rankings because they normally rank clients much lower down, or else b) they don’t specialise in SEO so are trying to push the areas they do specialise in.
AI such as ChatGPT is a great tool if used carefully and effectively – see our blog post on how to safely use ChatGPT for SEO (and how not to use it).
AI cannot completely replace traditional SEO techniques both for now and likely in the future – it can only assist.
SEO involves human competence in understanding user intent, adapting to algorithm changes, and creating quality content, thinking up fresh innovative ideas, and latching on to new and evolving trends.
Whilst AI can assist in data analysis and recommendation, human involvement remains essential if you want to get ahead, and avoid becoming a me-too entity.
