Search engine optimisation

Be the first name they see — not the fourth they scroll past

SEO simply means that when someone near you types what you do into Google, you are one of the first businesses they find. Unlike ads, it keeps working long after you stop paying for it.

We will never promise page one in 30 days. Local map rankings usually move within 4–8 weeks; competitive organic rankings take 3–6 months to build properly.

  • 75% never go past page one

    Rank higher on Google

    Appear on the first page for the services you want to sell, in the towns you want to work in. Three quarters of people never scroll past the first page of results.

  • 2.1× average lift in enquiries

    Receive more enquiries

    Search traffic is people actively looking to buy right now. They are not browsing — they have a job that needs doing and they are choosing who to ring.

  • 46% of searches are local

    Increase local visibility

    Rank across your whole service area, not just your home town, with dedicated pages for every county and town you cover.

  • more calls from map results

    Generate more phone calls

    Local map results put a call button directly in the search results. For most trades, that button produces more calls than the website itself.

  • €0 cost per organic click

    Reduce dependency on ads

    Paid traffic stops the day you stop paying. Rankings keep producing enquiries for years, which means your cost per lead falls every month.

Google Business Profile

The best hour you will ever spend on your marketing

Your Google Business Profile is the panel that appears beside the search results and pins you on Google Maps. For most local businesses it drives more phone calls than the website itself — yet it is almost always left half-finished.

Already have a profile? We will audit it free of charge and tell you exactly what is holding it back — categories, service areas, photos, hours and reviews. No obligation to work with us.

  • Google Maps visibility

    Get pinned on Maps so anyone searching nearby — or driving through — finds you before your competitors.

  • More reviews, managed properly

    A simple system that asks every happy customer for a review, plus replies written for you so the profile stays active.

  • Local search rankings

    A fully completed, active profile is one of the strongest signals Google uses to decide who appears in the local three-pack.

  • Instant trust

    Photos, hours, services, pricing and reviews all visible before a customer clicks anything. That is what makes them choose you.

  • More phone calls

    The call button sits directly in the search results. One tap, no website visit needed, no friction at all.

  • More website visits

    A well-optimised profile sends a steady stream of qualified local traffic to your site, entirely free of charge.

How it works

From first call to first enquiry in under three weeks

No drawn-out discovery phases or hundred-page proposals. Six clear steps, a fixed price agreed before we start, and a launch date you can plan around.

  1. Step 01 30 minutes

    Discovery call

    We talk about the work you want more of, the jobs you would rather stop quoting for, and where your enquiries come from today. No jargon, no pitch deck — just enough to know whether we can help.

    • Honest assessment of your current site
    • Clear scope and fixed price
    • Realistic launch date
  2. Step 02 Days 1–3

    We research what your customers actually search for in your county, map every page to a specific search, and plan the route from first click to phone call.

    • Keyword and competitor research
    • Full sitemap and page plan
    • Conversion strategy
  3. Step 03 Week 1

    Design

    You see your actual site — real copy, your own photography, on desktop and mobile. We refine it together before a single line of code is written.

    • Full page designs
    • Copy written for your trade
    • Two rounds of revisions
  4. Step 04 Week 2

    Build & optimise

    We hand-build the site for speed, wire up your forms and call tracking, and lay the technical SEO groundwork so Google understands exactly what you do and where.

    • Hand-coded, sub-second pages
    • Forms, tracking and analytics
    • Technical SEO and schema
  5. Step 05 Weeks 2–3

    • Zero-downtime migration
    • Google Search Console and Maps setup
    • Recorded training session
  6. Step 06 Ongoing

    Grow

    Launch day is the starting line. We track calls and forms, keep the site fast and secure, and build your rankings month after month.

    • Monthly plain-English reporting
    • Ongoing SEO and content
    • Priority support

30 minutes, no pitch deck, no obligation.

Industries we serve

We know how your customers search — because we have built for your trade before

A plumber's site and a dental practice's site do completely different jobs. We start from what your customers actually type into Google, and what they need to see before they get in touch.

Demo websites

Why WebCo

Eight reasons Irish businesses stay with us

Most of our work comes from referrals, which only happens when the boring things are done properly.

  • We write every word for you

    The number one reason websites sit half-finished is that the business owner was handed a blank document. We research your trade, your county and your competitors, then write the whole site. You review it — you never have to start it.

    100% of copy written in-house

  • Built for enquiries, not for awards

    Every layout decision answers one question: does this make someone more likely to ring you? Trust signals go above the fold, phone numbers stay in reach, and forms ask only for what you actually need to quote.

    2.1× average lift in enquiries

  • Fixed prices, quoted before we start

    You get a written scope and a fixed figure before any work begins. If we underestimate something, that is our problem, not an extra line on your invoice. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no awkward conversations.

    No project has ever exceeded its quote

  • Genuinely fast, not "fast enough"

    We hand-build sites rather than stacking plugins on a theme. The difference shows on a phone in a rural area with two bars of signal — the exact moment your customer decides whether to wait or go back to Google.

    98/100 typical PageSpeed score

  • SEO is built in, not sold on later

    Site structure, page speed, schema markup and Google Business Profile setup are part of every build. You start with the technical foundations right, so any SEO work later compounds instead of fixing our mistakes.

    Technical SEO included as standard

  • Your domain, always yours

    Your domain is registered in your business name and your content stays yours, on every plan. Buy the build outright and the source code is yours too, handed over in writing at launch. We have rescued too many businesses locked out of their own domain by a developer who moved on.

    Domain in your name on every plan

  • A real person answers the phone

    No ticket queue, no account manager reading from a script. You deal with the people who designed and built your site, by phone or WhatsApp, for as long as you are a client.

    Same-day response, Mon–Fri

  • We only take on work we can do well

    If your project needs something outside what we do, we will say so and point you somewhere better. We would rather lose a job than deliver something we cannot stand over.

    Honest scoping from the first call

Client results

The only measure that matters: did the phone ring more?

Every project is judged on enquiries, calls and booked work — not on how the site looks in a portfolio.

Start your project
  • We were getting maybe two enquiries a week off the old site, mostly people looking for a price on a job we do not even do. Now it is nine or ten, and they arrive knowing what we charge and how we work. I spend far less time on the phone talking people out of it.

    4.5× more enquiries per week

    Declan Moriarty Owner, Moriarty Electrical · Naas, Co. Kildare
  • The Google Maps side of it was the thing that surprised me. We went from nowhere to the top three for roofing in our area within about two months, and the phone genuinely has not stopped since the storms in November.

    Top 3 in the local map pack

    Sinéad Kavanagh Director, Kavanagh Roofing · Wexford Town
  • I had been quoted six grand by another crowd for something that would have taken three months. WebCo came back with a fixed price, had it live in under a month, and it looks better than what I was shown. No surprises on the invoice either.

    26 days from first call to launch

    Tomás Ó Ceallaigh Managing Director, Glenmara Landscapes · Ennis, Co. Clare
  • What sold me was that they wrote all the copy themselves. Every other quote I got wanted me to supply the text, which is exactly the reason my old site sat half-finished for two years.

    +68% new patient bookings

    Aoife Brennan Practice Manager, Riverside Dental · Athlone, Co. Westmeath
  • The site loads instantly on a phone, which matters when someone has water coming through a ceiling. We are getting the emergency calls we used to lose to the bigger firms in the city.

    0.8s mobile load time

    Martin Doyle Owner, Doyle Plumbing & Heating · Douglas, Co. Cork
  • They set up the Google profile properly, got the reviews coming in, and now we show up on Maps before the two salons on the same street. That alone paid for the whole thing inside a season.

    They wrote everything for us, which meant the project actually got finished. Two rounds of changes and it was exactly right.

    Genuinely lovely to deal with. Explained the Google side of things in a way that made sense and set the whole lot up for us.

    Fixed quote, no surprises, and they still answer the phone six months later. That last part is rarer than it should be.

FAQs

Still not sure?

We reply to every enquiry within one working day.

Pricing & contracts

How much does a website actually cost?

You choose how to pay for the same site. Buy it outright from €495 for Launch, €1,495 for Growth or €2,995 for Premium — or spread it monthly from €59, €149 or €299 with hosting, updates and support included. We quote a fixed price before any work starts, so the figure you agree is the figure you are invoiced.

Should I pay once or monthly?

It comes down to cash flow and ownership. Paying once costs less overall and the website — source code and all — becomes yours outright at launch, to host wherever you like. Paying monthly gets you live for a fraction of the upfront cost with hosting, updates and support bundled in, but the source code stays with us and the site comes down if you cancel. Either way your domain is in your own name and your content stays yours. You can switch from monthly to a one-off purchase whenever you want.

Are there ongoing costs after launch?

On a monthly plan everything is included in the one figure — hosting, security, backups, updates and support. On a one-off build the only essentials are hosting and maintenance from €45 a month, plus your domain renewal at around €25 a year. There are no hidden licence fees either way, because we do not build on paid themes or plugins.

Do you require a long contract?

No. Care plans and SEO retainers are month to month, and you can cancel with 30 days notice. We would rather keep clients because the work is producing results than because they signed a twelve-month agreement.

Can I pay in instalments?

Standard terms are 50% to begin and 50% on launch. For larger projects we can spread payments across the project timeline. Just raise it on the discovery call and we will work something out.

Working together

How long does it take to launch?

A seven-page site typically takes one to two weeks from the day we have your content and photos. Larger sites with location and service pages run two to three weeks. The single biggest delay is usually waiting on photographs, so we start that conversation on day one.

What do you need from me?

A 30-minute call, access to your existing domain and hosting if you have them, and photos of your work. We write all the copy ourselves — you will never be handed a blank document and asked to fill it in. You then review two rounds of revisions before we build.

Can I update the website myself afterwards?

Yes. We hand over a simple editor for text, photos and prices, along with a recorded walkthrough for your own reference. If you would rather not touch it at all, monthly content changes are included in every care plan — send us a WhatsApp and we will make the change.

Do you work with businesses outside Cork?

We work with businesses in every county in Ireland. Most of our projects run entirely over video calls, WhatsApp and email, which keeps costs down for everyone. If you would prefer to meet in person and you are within reach of Cork, that is no problem at all.

SEO & Google

How long before SEO produces enquiries?

Local map pack improvements often show within four to eight weeks, because Google Business Profile work takes effect quickly. Competitive organic rankings typically take three to six months to move meaningfully, and nine to twelve months to mature. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is either targeting terms nobody searches for or is not being straight with you.

Is SEO better than running Google Ads?

They do different jobs. Ads buy you visibility today and stop the moment you stop paying. SEO builds an asset that keeps producing enquiries for years, but it takes months to build. Most of our clients run ads while SEO matures, then reduce ad spend as organic enquiries take over. We will tell you honestly which makes more sense for your situation.

Do I really need a Google Business Profile?

For a local business, it is the highest-return hour you will spend online. It is what puts you on Google Maps and in the three-result panel at the top of local searches — above every organic result. For many of our trades clients it generates more calls than the website itself. We set it up, verify it and keep it active.

Will you report on what the SEO work is actually doing?

Every month, in plain English. You get rankings for your target searches, how many people called or filled in a form, where those enquiries came from, and what we did that month. No 40-page PDF of charts nobody reads.

Technical

Do you use WordPress?

Usually not. We hand-build sites with modern static tooling, which makes them dramatically faster, effectively immune to the plugin vulnerabilities that plague WordPress, and far cheaper to host. If your business genuinely needs WordPress — for example, an existing shop or booking system — we will build it properly on WordPress and tell you why.

Who owns the website and the domain?

The domain is always yours — registered in your business name, with the login handed to you at launch. So are your content and photographs. The website itself depends on how you pay: buy it outright and the source code is yours at handover, to host anywhere you like. On a monthly plan the source code stays with us and you licence the site for as long as you subscribe. We say this plainly because we have taken on far too many clients who could not access their own domain after a previous developer registered it to themselves. That will never happen here.

What happens to my Google rankings if you rebuild my site?

They are protected. We map every existing page to its new equivalent and put permanent redirects in place before launch, so the authority you have built up carries across. In most rebuilds rankings improve within weeks, because the new site is considerably faster and better structured.

Is the website GDPR compliant?

Yes. Sites are hosted in the EU, forms use explicit consent, and we provide a privacy policy and a cookie banner that only loads tracking after consent. We keep analytics configured so you get the data you need without collecting more personal information than necessary.
