What actually works in Middlesbrough

The demand comes from process industries and chemicals around Teesport and Wilton, offshore and energy including the freeport and the offshore-wind supply chain, engineering and fabrication, a large university and public sector, and the trades and retail serving a Teesside conurbation closer to half a million than to Middlesbrough’s own 150,000.

The heavy-industry supply chain is where search earns least credit and most money, and the brief for it is narrow. Those sites are read by procurement and engineering buyers checking accreditations, capabilities and whether you have done this exact thing before. They do not need to be beautiful; they need capability pages that are specific, a named contact and documents that are actually findable. Most of the local ones fail on the last. The nearest comparable work is Pro Pave, a different sector with the same structural fix.

What you get, and what it costs

Growth blocks from £250 a month, spent on whatever moves the needle rather than a fixed checklist. No percentage of ad spend, no management fee and no minimum term — if it stops being worth it, you stop.

• The Google Business Profile done properly first, because for most local searches the map sits above everything a website can win.
• A page for each service you genuinely offer, so every search has somewhere of its own to land instead of competing with the homepage.
• The technical work that decides whether Google can read the site at all — speed, structure, internal links, and the markup that puts you in the right results.
• Content written around the questions your customers actually ask, not a keyword list.
• Monthly reporting of what changed and what it earned, including the phone calls, which is where most local enquiries arrive and almost nobody counts them.
