A local business we look after, scanned across the North East before the work started and again a few months in. Each pin is a Google search made from that spot. Green means the business showed in the top three, red means it was buried down the list or missing altogether. For another example, read our Google Maps ranking case study.
We will scan where you show up across your area for free.
Then we will tell you plainly what is holding you back.

We are a web design and local SEO business based in North Shields. We build fast, mobile first websites for the trades, clinics, venues and shops that keep the North East running, then help them get found on Google rather than buried on page four.
Every project starts with a conversation about your business and the customers you want more of. The design, the build and the SEO are then planned together, so the site is made to be found from the day it launches.
I have been building websites for over 20 years and founded NE1 in 2018. Since then I have designed and looked after more than 260 websites for businesses across Newcastle, North Tyneside and the wider North East.
You deal directly with me from the first conversation through to launch and ongoing support. No account managers, no handovers between departments, and no being passed around when something needs fixing.
Away from client work I am involved with business development organisations across the region, including the North Tyneside Business Forum and the North East business awards judging panel.
Has your website been live for more than two years? Send us the address and we will record a short video review of it, free of charge. You will see what is working, what is holding it back and the changes that would bring in more enquiries.
It is the same honest look we give every new client, with no obligation afterwards.

The questions businesses ask most before getting started. If yours is not here, just get in touch.
Changes to your Google Business Profile often show within four to eight weeks. Climbing the map results across a whole area usually takes three to six months, depending on how competitive your trade is and where you are starting from.
Google picks the three map results on relevance, distance and prominence. We work on all three every month: a complete and active Google profile, a steady flow of reviews, pages for the towns you cover and consistent listings across the web. Our local SEO services page explains it in more detail.
Every build comes with the technical SEO foundations in place. Ranking for competitive local searches and appearing in the Map Pack takes ongoing work, which is what the monthly local SEO plans are for. I will tell you honestly which one your business needs.
Every option is set out on our pricing page. After a short call you get a fixed price in writing before anything starts.
You work directly with Michael throughout your project, from the first call to launch and any support afterwards. There are no account managers or handovers along the way.
Yes. Most clients are in Newcastle, North Tyneside and the wider North East, but I build and look after sites for businesses across the UK and further afield. Everything is handled remotely with calls and a shared staging link.
