For small businesses
SEO for small businesses that don't have time for SEO
You know your customers' questions better than any agency. RankOtter turns that knowledge into articles that get found, while you run the business.

The short answer
Small businesses lose Google searches to competitors who publish helpful content regularly. RankOtter writes an article a day answering the questions your customers search, in your voice, and publishes it to your website. You approve each one in about five minutes, from £29 + VAT a month.
The problem
Why small businesses lose out on Google
The businesses that win searches are usually not the best at what they do. They are the ones that answer the most questions.
Every article is another way for a customer to find you
Google favours sites that keep adding useful content
AI search tools quote businesses that answer clearly

Questions from small businesses
Is SEO worth it for a small business?
For most, yes. Articles keep bringing visitors long after they're published, unlike ads that stop when you stop paying. The key is writing about what your customers actually search for.
How many blog posts do I need?
There's no magic number, but sites that publish regularly for six months or more usually see the clearest results. RankOtter's Growth plan publishes up to 30 a month.
How long does SEO take to work?
Usually three to six months for meaningful traffic. Some long-tail articles bring visits within weeks.
Can I do this alongside Google Ads?
Yes. Many businesses use both: ads for instant leads, articles for steady, free traffic that builds over time.
