Timeline & pricing
What this looks like month by month
No twelve-month lock-ins and no invented milestones. This is the pace the work actually moves at.
- 1
Month 1
Link gap analysis against your real competitors, toxic link review, citation and directory clean-up, and a target list of Cumbrian and sector-relevant publications.
- 2
Month 3
First earned placements live — local press, trade bodies, supplier and sponsorship links. Domain authority starting to move, competitive terms creeping up.
- 3
Month 6
A steady drip of relevant links, measurable movement on the terms that were previously stuck, and referral traffic that converts on its own.
Pricing
From £750 / month
Link acquisition and digital PR runs from £750 a month because it involves real outreach and content production. Local citation clean-up as a one-off is £450. We never buy links from networks — you'd be paying for a future penalty.
Reporting
Judged on enquiries, not impressions
One monthly report: calls, form fills, map-pack positions, organic positions and what we changed — plus a live dashboard you can open any time.
Our approach
How we build the campaign
1. Discovery
We learn your best jobs, your margins and the towns you actually want to work in — then build the plan around those, not vanity keywords.
2. Audit & baseline
Technical crawl, Google Business Profile review, competitor gap analysis and an AI visibility baseline across four assistants.
3. Foundations
Fix what's broken: site speed, indexing, schema, citations and profile completeness. This is where the early wins come from.
4. Content & authority
Service, town and industry pages written properly, plus local links and reviews that make them rank.
5. Report & refine
One monthly report in plain English: rankings, calls, form fills and what we're doing next. No 40-page PDFs.

Furnished holiday lettings, EPC and safety requirements
The abolition of the Furnished Holiday Lettings tax regime from April 2025 changed the economics for Cumbrian owners, and lets still need gas safety certificates, electrical safety checks, a fire risk assessment and an EPC. Lake District National Park planning attitudes to short-term lets are also tightening — accurate, current content on this is genuinely useful and rarely published well by competitors.
Seasonal content calendar
- JanPeak booking research for the year ahead; the pages must already be ranking.
- Feb–AprEaster and half-term short-lead bookings, plus owner searches for management and marketing help.
- Oct–DecChristmas, New Year and winter-break demand, now a serious secondary season.

Off-Page SEO for holiday cottages & lets: common questions
Is off-page seo & link building worth it for holiday cottages & lets?
Only if it produces enquiries, which is why we scope it against your job values. Earn the local links and citations that decide who ranks in competitive towns. For holiday cottages & lets, that usually means fewer, better pages targeted at the jobs you actually want, rather than broad traffic that never converts.
How do you tailor off-page seo & link building to holiday cottages & lets?
By using your own service, pricing and compliance detail as the raw material. Local guide content: walks, pubs, wet-weather days, dog-friendly spots That specificity is what separates a page that ranks from one that reads like every competitor's.
Which locations do you cover for holiday cottages & lets?
Cumbria in depth plus twenty UK cities including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Bristol. Each location gets its own page, so you appear in the map packs that matter instead of one generic service area.
How many links a month should I expect?
Between three and eight quality placements for a typical local campaign. We'd rather send you four links that move rankings than forty that do nothing.
Do you buy links?
No. Paid link schemes breach Google's spam policies and put your whole domain at risk. Everything we build is editorially earned or a legitimate directory citation.
Can you fix inconsistent listings from our old address?
Yes — that's the citation clean-up part of the work, and for businesses that have moved premises it often produces the fastest map-pack gain of anything we do.
