We Fix the Problems That Are Stopping Your Website From Working for Your Business

Your Website Is Not Ranking on Google

This is the most common and most costly problem. You have a website but when someone searches for your service in your area your name does not come up. We audit your site find exactly what is blocking your rankings and fix it. Technical SEO issues slow speed missing page structure wrong keywords. We identify every problem and sort it out properly.

Your Website Is Slow and Losing Visitors

47% of users expect a website to load in under two seconds. If yours takes longer than that people leave before they see anything. Google also ranks slow websites lower than fast ones. We find exactly what is making your site slow whether it is oversized images bloated code or a poorly configured server and we fix it so your pages load fast on every device.

Your Website Looks Outdated and Needs a Refresh

A website that looked fine in 2019 can look dated and unprofessional today. Customers judge your business in seconds based on what they see online. If your layout fonts images and overall design do not match the quality of your business potential clients make a quick judgement and move on. We upgrade your design and layout without rebuilding everything from scratch if you do not need to.

Ongoing Monthly Maintenance So Nothing Breaks Quietly

Most website problems develop slowly. Plugins go out of date. Security certificates expire. Pages develop errors. Forms stop working. Links break. None of these announce themselves. We monitor and maintain your website every month so small issues get caught and fixed before they become expensive problems or damage your Google rankings.

Website Maintenance SEO Problem Fixing and Layout Upgrades for Business Websites Across the UK

Here is a question most business owners never think to ask. When did you last actually check whether your website is working properly? Not just open it on your own laptop and glance at the homepage. Actually check whether it loads in under two seconds on a mobile phone. Whether your contact form sends messages through. Whether your pages appear anywhere in Google when someone searches for what you do. Whether there are broken pages sending visitors to error screens. Whether your SSL certificate is valid and your site is not showing a security warning to anyone who visits.

For most business owners the honest answer is they have not checked any of those things in months or years. And that means their website could be losing them customers right now in ways they cannot see. A contact form that stopped working three months ago. Pages that load in six seconds on a phone so visitors leave before they see anything. A Google ranking that quietly slipped from page one to page three after an algorithm update. An outdated design that makes a genuinely great business look like it is behind the times. These are not hypothetical problems. They are the exact issues we find on most business websites when we run an audit.

We audit your existing website and find exactly what is wrong. Then we fix it systematically. We do not just give you a report full of jargon and leave you to figure out what to do with it. We carry out the actual fixes. We improve your SEO structure your page speed your mobile layout your security setup and everything else that is holding your site back. And we offer ongoing monthly maintenance so once your site is working properly it stays that way.

Who This Service Is For

This is for any business owner who already has a website but knows something is not right with it. You might recognise your situation in one of these:

You have a website but it barely gets any visitors and you never receive enquiries through it

Your website was built a few years ago and it looks dated but you do not want the cost and disruption of building a completely new one
Your site loads slowly on phones and you have lost visitors because of it
You want to update your services prices team information or photos but you cannot figure out how to do it yourself

What a Broken or Poorly Maintained Website Is Actually Costing You

Most business owners think of a poorly performing website as a minor inconvenience. It is not. Here is what it is actually costing you in practical terms:

Every person who searches for your service and does not find you because your SEO is broken is a potential customer who went to a competitor instead
Every visitor who lands on a slow site and leaves in under three seconds is someone who had buying intent and you lost them before they saw anything about your business
Every enquiry that should have come through your contact form but did not because it stopped working is a lost sale you never knew about
Every potential customer who sees your outdated design and makes a quick judgement that your business is not professional enough is a conversion that never happened
Every Google algorithm update that quietly drops your rankings because your technical SEO was never set up properly is lost visibility that compounds over time
A website that gets hacked because plugins were never updated can take weeks to recover and can cause you to disappear from Google entirely during that period

Monthly Website Maintenance: What We Do Every Month to Keep Your Site Working Properly

Fixing your website is the first step. Keeping it fixed is the ongoing work. Most websites develop new problems over time and most business owners have no system for catching them before they cause real damage. Our monthly website maintenance service means your site is checked and maintained on a regular schedule so nothing slips through.

Every month we carry out the following on your website. Software and plugin updates so security vulnerabilities do not build up and cause problems. Security scans and malware checks so issues are caught early before Google notices and penalises your rankings. Speed and performance checks so load times stay fast as your site grows. Broken link monitoring so dead pages are caught and fixed before visitors or Google encounter them. SEO performance reviews so we catch any ranking drops and address them before they become serious. Form and functionality testing so you know enquiries and bookings are actually reaching you. Regular content backups so if something does go wrong your site can be restored quickly without data loss.

Layout Upgrades: Improving How Your Website Looks Without Building a New One

Not every website needs to be torn down and rebuilt. In many cases what a site needs is a structured visual refresh rather than a complete rebuild. We work with your existing website and improve the things that are making it look dated or feel unprofessional. A cleaner more modern layout. Better use of whitespace so the page is easier to read. Updated fonts that feel contemporary rather than 2015. Improved button design and calls to action that actually stand out. Better use of your photos and images. Navigation that is clearer and simpler to use on both desktop and mobile.

The result is a website that looks noticeably more professional and up to date without the cost and disruption of a full rebuild. Many of our clients are genuinely surprised at how much difference a structured layout upgrade makes compared to how the same site looked before we touched it.

What You Get When Your Website Is Fixed and Maintained Properly

Your website starts appearing in Google searches for your services instead of being invisible

Pages load fast on every device so visitors stay rather than leaving immediately

Enquiries and bookings arrive through your site because your forms and contact systems actually work

Your site looks professional and current which gives potential clients confidence in your business

Monthly maintenance means small problems are caught and fixed before they damage your traffic or rankings

You stop worrying about your website because someone is watching it and keeping it working properly for you

You do not need to put up with a website that is slow broken outdated or invisible on Google. These are all fixable problems. Whether you need a full SEO audit and technical fix, a layout and design upgrade, monthly maintenance and support, or help with specific problems like a broken contact form or a site that stopped loading on mobiles, we can identify what is wrong and sort it out without you having to understand every technical detail yourself. That is what we are here for.

What Your Website Should Be Scoring After We Fix It

≤1.2s

Largest Contentful Paint

This is how long it takes for the main visible content on your page to appear. If it is over 2.5 seconds Google flags it as poor and ranks your site lower. We bring yours down to under 1.2 seconds

≤0.8s

First Contentful Paint

This is the first moment your page shows anything at all on a visitor's screen. A fast first paint stops people bouncing before your page has even finished loading which is something slow sites suffer from constantly

≤0.1

Cumulative Layout Shift

Layout shift is when elements on your page jump around while it is loading causing people to accidentally tap the wrong thing. It is a common problem on older sites and one Google measures and penalises directly

99%

Core Web Vitals

Google publishes these scores for every website and uses them as a ranking factor. Most business websites we audit score poorly on at least one of these. We fix all three and maintain them at a high level every month

The Specific Problems We Fix on Existing Websites

Website Not Showing Up on Google

We run a full SEO audit to identify exactly why your pages are not ranking. Missing title tags and meta descriptions, no keyword structure, poor heading hierarchy, pages that Google cannot properly index, no local SEO setup. We find every issue and fix it so Google can read understand and rank your site correctly for the searches your customers are actually using.

Slow Website Fix

A slow site is losing you visitors every single day and Google is ranking you lower because of it. We identify the specific causes on your site whether it is uncompressed images bloated code too many slow loading plugins or server configuration issues. Then we fix each one. Most sites we work on see their load speed cut by 50% to 70% after we have finished.

Website Broken on Mobile

More than half of all web traffic now comes from mobile phones. If your site looks broken has text that is too small to read buttons that cannot be tapped or a layout that falls apart on a smaller screen you are losing the majority of your potential visitors. We fix your mobile layout so it works properly on every device and every screen size.

Broken Pages and Error Fixes

404 error pages broken links dead redirects and pages that return error messages all damage your user experience and your SEO. Every broken page is a dead end for a potential customer and a negative signal to Google. We audit your entire site find every broken element and fix each one so visitors always reach the right page and Google can crawl your site without hitting dead ends.

Contact Form and Functionality Repairs

A contact form that does not work is one of the most common and most costly website problems. Enquiries go nowhere. You never know they were sent. The customer assumes you are not interested and contacts someone else. We test every form booking system and interactive element on your site and fix anything that is not working properly so you never miss an enquiry again.

Security Fixes and SSL Certificate Problems

If your site is showing a security warning in browsers your visitors will leave immediately and your Google rankings will be damaged. We fix SSL certificate issues remove any malware update all outdated plugins and set up proper security monitoring so your site stays clean protected and trusted by both visitors and Google going forward.

Your Website Should Be Working for Your Business Not Against It

If your website is slow not ranking on Google broken in any way or simply looks like it needs a refresh we can fix it. You do not need to explain every technical problem to us. Just tell us what you are experiencing and we will audit your site find out exactly what is wrong and tell you what needs to be done. Whether it is a one off SEO fix, a layout upgrade, specific repairs to broken pages or forms, or ongoing monthly maintenance to keep your site in good health, get in touch and we will take it from there.

FAQs About Website Maintenance, SEO Fixes and Layout Upgrades

My website has been live for years but barely gets any enquiries. What is likely going wrong?

This is one of the most common situations we come across. In most cases the website was built without proper SEO structure meaning Google has never had a clear reason to rank it for relevant searches. Specifically we usually find missing or poorly written title tags and meta descriptions on every page, no keyword targeting on service pages, no Google Business Profile set up properly, pages that load too slowly for Google to rank them favourably and no local SEO targeting the specific areas the business serves. We audit your site, identify which of these issues apply and fix them so your site starts generating actual search traffic.

Why has my website suddenly dropped in Google rankings?

A sudden drop in Google rankings usually has one of four causes. Google released an algorithm update and your site no longer meets the new quality signals it is looking for. A technical problem developed such as pages being accidentally blocked from indexing or a security issue that Google detected. A competitor significantly improved their own site and overtook you. Or a recent change you made to your site inadvertently broke something. We diagnose which of these applies to your specific situation and create a structured recovery plan that addresses the actual cause rather than guessing.

Do I need to rebuild my website from scratch or can the existing one be fixed and improved?

In most cases we can significantly improve your existing site without rebuilding it from scratch. A full rebuild is only necessary when the underlying platform or code is so outdated or broken that fixing it costs more than starting fresh. For most business websites the right approach is a structured set of fixes and improvements covering SEO layout performance and functionality. We assess your site and give you an honest recommendation about which approach makes more sense for your specific situation and budget.

What is included in monthly website maintenance and why do I need it?

Monthly website maintenance includes software and plugin updates to prevent security vulnerabilities, security scans to catch issues early, speed and performance monitoring, broken link checks, SEO performance reviews to catch any ranking drops, form and functionality testing to ensure enquiries are reaching you, and regular backups so your site can be recovered quickly if anything goes wrong. You need it because websites are not static. They require ongoing attention to stay secure fast and properly ranked. Most website problems we see could have been prevented with regular maintenance.

My website works fine on a desktop but looks broken on mobile phones. Can you fix that?

Yes. This is a responsive design problem and it is very common on websites built before 2018 or on older themes and page builders. The fix varies depending on what is causing it but in most cases we can resolve it without rebuilding the entire site. Given that more than half of all web searches now happen on mobile phones and Google uses the mobile version of your site as its primary ranking signal fixing this is one of the highest priority improvements you can make to any website.

How long does it take to fix SEO issues on an existing website?

The audit typically takes one to two weeks. The fixes are then carried out in order of priority over the following two to four weeks depending on how many issues are found and how complex they are. Some improvements show results in Google within a few weeks. Others particularly those affecting competitive keywords can take two to three months to reflect in rankings as Google processes and reindexes the improved pages. We give you a clear timeline before we start and keep you updated throughout.

Can you update the content and layout of my website without me needing to be involved in every detail?

Yes. That is exactly how most of our maintenance and upgrade work operates. You tell us what needs to change and what you want the end result to look like. We handle all the technical and design work. For content updates you provide us with the new information and we implement it properly with the right SEO structure. For layout upgrades we handle the design work and present it to you for review before making anything live. Most business owners want a clean result without having to manage every detail themselves and that is precisely what we deliver.

My contact form has not been working properly. How do I even know how many enquiries I have missed?

Unfortunately there is no way to recover enquiries that were sent through a broken form and never delivered. But we can fix the form immediately test it thoroughly and set up proper email delivery monitoring so you are alerted if anything stops working again in the future. We can also set up a backup enquiry path such as a click to call button and a WhatsApp contact option so visitors always have another way to reach you even if one channel has a technical issue.
