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. 1

    Month 1

    Crawl, log and Core Web Vitals review, indexation and canonical audit, mobile and structured-data checks, then a fix list ranked by impact against effort.

  2. 2

    Month 3

    Critical fixes shipped — render-blocking assets, image weight, redirect chains, crawl waste. Vitals passing and previously unindexed pages appearing.

  3. 3

    Month 6

    Clean crawl, stable indexation, faster pages and no recurring regressions, with monitoring so a theme update doesn't quietly undo it.

Pricing

£750 one-off audit

A full technical audit with a prioritised fix list is £750. Implementation is quoted separately once we know what's actually broken, or bundled into a retainer from £550 a month.

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.

Local detail

Technical SEO & Audits for holiday cottages & lets by location

Keswick

Walking and adventure-led guests; route-specific content converts far better than generic cottage copy.

Appleby-in-Westmorland

The Horse Fair fortnight in June triples demand — publish availability content by mid-April.

Compliance & E-E-A-T

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.

FAQs

Technical SEO & Audits for holiday cottages & lets: common questions

Is technical seo & audits worth it for holiday cottages & lets?

Only if it produces enquiries, which is why we scope it against your job values. Find and fix the crawl, speed and indexing faults quietly capping your rankings. 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 technical seo & audits 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 long does an audit take?

Seven to ten working days for most local sites, including the walkthrough call where we talk you through the findings.

Do you fix the issues or just report them?

We fix them. The audit fee includes implementation of the quick wins, and larger builds are quoted separately before any work starts.

My site scores badly on PageSpeed Insights — is that the problem?

Not always. The lab score matters less than real-world field data. We check what actual visitors on actual phones experience before touching anything.
