What's Unique about SEO and the search market in leeds?
Leeds is the largest economic centre in the Yorkshire and Humber region and the fifth largest in the UK. The Leeds City Region boasts a robust £56 billion economy.
With a population of over 800,000, more than 300,000 households, and roughly 100,000 registered businesses, Leeds offers immense opportunities for growth. However, the competitive landscape is equally fierce.
To succeed in such a dynamic market, SEO strategies in Leeds must be exceptionally advanced—among the sharpest in the nation. Outside London, only Manchester and Birmingham present comparable opportunities and challenges.
At Digital Mark, we have a proven track record of running successful SEO campaigns in Leeds. Our deep local expertise means we understand exactly what it takes to succeed online in this competitive yet vibrant environment.
Partner with us to dominate search results in Leeds and unlock the full potential of your business.

On page SEO
Our team will make sure that the pages on your website are a good fit for the search terms you want to appear for. This involves optimising the on-page elements you can see and the ones you can't. We will only ever use white-hat strategies that fall in line with Google webmaster guidelines.
Technical SEO
Technical SEO is about the stuff you can't see. Things that are usually determined when your website was first developed. It's the foundation that everything else will be built on.
Mobile SEO
Mobile SEO is like technical SEO but specific to mobile devices. Mobile search is now more popular than desktop search, so optimising your site for mobile users is essential.
Local SEO
Most businesses we work with want local visitors to their website, but they also want visitors from outside their local area. Our goal is to show Google that your business serves those areas too.
Off page SEO
Off-page SEO is everything that happens on other websites. It includes backlinks, social signals, guest blogging, and even video content on YouTube.
Great content
Unique, useful content is a deciding factor for Google. Answering every question a user may have ensures they won't need to look elsewhere.
Conversion rate optimisation
Once you've got a visitor on your website, you want them to convert. This is closely linked to having great content and strong calls-to-action (CTAs).
Our SEO Process
By the time you agree to a campaign with us we'll already know what you want to achieve. We will have already looked at your competitors and know how to get an edge on them. This is the time for us to plan what steps are needed to achieve it.
We start all campaigns with technical SEO because we find websites often struggle to improve rankings if they don't have a solid technical foundation. Things like slow page load times or web vitals can impact user experience. We've seen it pay to start this process early in a campaign.
We'd then say on-page SEO is the next most important factor early on in an SEO campaign. We'll take care of the basics first like meta data. The important thing here is to make sure your pages are tightly focused on the keywords that you want to rank for.
Google crawls websites with its mobile spider first now. We work on improving mobile core web vitals not only to tick boxes for Google, but to give your mobile visitors a better experience.
For the vast majority of our clients, this is the good stuff. It's what's going to get you ranking for “SEO Leeds”, if that's what you're aiming at. Once all the on-page and technical stuff is at a good level, we'll start creating specific landing pages optimised for what you do.
You'll still need great content if you want to rank at the top of Google. We'll work with you to create content that leaves Google no option but to rank you higher than your competitors.
Live SEO Reporting with Google Looker Studio
Want a progress report on how your SEO is performing? As a 100% transparent SEO agency, we've developed our own SEO dashboard using Google Looker Studio. All clients can access their SEO dashboard at anytime using their client login. It's a really in-depth report but also a fantastic SEO tool.
Your SEO Dashboard will show you live SEO data and insights including:
- Organic Traffic
- Click through rates (CTR)
- Individual keyword tracking
- Performance comparisons by period
- Opportunities for growth
- Heatmap
Quickly spot opportunities for growth
Pages 2 keywords and page 1 keywords with low CTR are often overlooked because they aren't tracked properly. But these are key areas for growth because they are often keywords with a high buying intention.
Track the Keywords that matter with the Digital Mark SEO Dashboard
Site-wide SEO metrics like click-through rate and Google position don't always provide an accurate picture of website performance. The ability to track the keywords that matter gives you a much clearer picture of how your SEO campaign is performing.
Drill down into individual keyword performance and track it over time
Once a month we'll talk you through all the data, explain progress and action plans, and of course answer any questions you have.
What SEO tools do we use?
When executing our SEO strategy for clients we use what we consider to be the best SEO software and tools on the market. To us that's SEMRush integrated with Google analytics (UA & GA4) and Google search console. We use this as our main day to day SEO platform as it provides everything a professional SEO team needs. Things like keyword research and tracking, competitor analysis tools, reporting and technical website analysis.
If we need extra detail we'll use Screaming Frog for a deeper website structure analysis. This lets us crawl any website and get precise knowledge of every technical detail. Perfect when taking on an established website as a new project or trying to outrank a tough competitor.
