On-page SEO is the work of making each page on your website the clearest, most useful answer to one search. Our on-page SEO services map one keyword to one URL, then fix the title, headings, copy, internal links and schema until the page deserves to rank and gives the visitor a reason to act.
What is included
On-page SEO, sometimes called on-site SEO, is everything you control on the page itself. It sits between technical SEO, which makes pages crawlable, and link building, which earns them authority.
One primary keyword per URL, with every overlap and gap written down.
Read moreRewritten for the query and for the click, inside the lengths Google displays.
One H1, a logical H2 and H3 outline, and headings that answer real questions.
Descriptive links between related pages so authority reaches the pages that sell.
Copy that covers the topic properly and shows who wrote it and why they know.
Read moreService, FAQ, breadcrumb, product and article markup that matches the visible page.
Most on-page problems start before a word is written. Two pages chase the same search, a third has no clear target at all, and Google is left to guess which one you meant. That is keyword cannibalisation, and it is the commonest reason a site with plenty of content sits on page three for everything.
We begin by exporting every query each page already appears for in Google Search Console and matching it against the page that should own it. The result is a keyword map: one row per URL, one primary keyword, a handful of secondary phrases and the search intent behind them. Pages that overlap are merged or re-pointed. Searches with no page get one planned. Nothing else on the page is worth optimising until this map exists.
The title tag is still the strongest single on-page signal, and it is also your advert in the search results. We write titles of up to 60 characters with the primary keyword first and the brand last, so the important words survive when Google truncates the line. Meta descriptions run to roughly 140 to 155 characters and say what the page offers and what to do next. They do not move rankings directly, but they change how many people click, and no two pages share one.
Where Google is rewriting your titles in the results, we treat that as evidence. It usually means the title does not match the query the page is actually shown for, and the fix is in the keyword map rather than in a cleverer title.
A page needs one H1 that contains the primary keyword and tells the reader what they will get. Below it, H2s mark the major sections and H3s the points inside them, with no level skipped. That outline is how a search engine works out what the page covers, and how a visitor on a phone decides in five seconds whether to stay.
We rewrite headings as answers and promises rather than labels. "Our process" tells nobody anything. "How an on-page audit works, step by step" matches a search and earns the scroll. Template headings that repeat across dozens of URLs are removed, because near-identical blocks make every page that carries them look thinner.
Internal links decide which of your pages Google treats as important. A service page with two links pointing at it, both from the footer, is being described to Google as an afterthought. We build the links deliberately: each service page links up to its hub and across to pricing, down to two or three closely related services, and every article links to the money pages it supports.
A page ranks when it is the most complete and most trustworthy answer available for the search. We compare your page with the results that currently outrank it and list what they cover that you do not: the questions answered, the pricing shown, the process explained, the comparisons made. Then we close those gaps with copy written from your expertise, not padded to a word count.
Google’s quality guidelines describe experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust, shortened to E-E-A-T. On the page that means named authors with real credentials, specifics only a practitioner would know, sources for claims, and clear contact and company details. Our SEO copywriting keeps the brand voice in British English and includes the US spelling of on-page optimization where the page also needs to be found by American buyers, so one URL serves both markets without a duplicate.
If a page needs rewriting rather than tuning, our SEO content writing service and website copywriting service take it on.
Structured data tells search engines and AI assistants exactly what a page is: a service, a product, an article, a set of questions and answers. We add Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, Product, Article and LocalBusiness markup where the page genuinely contains that content, and the marked-up text always matches the visible text word for word. We do not add review or rating markup unless real reviews are on the page. Schema is not a requirement for appearing in AI answers, as our guide on how to rank in AI Overviews explains, but it remains worth doing for rich results.
Images get descriptive file names, alt text that says what the image shows, correct dimensions and modern formats, so they help accessibility and image search without slowing the page down.
The three are often sold as separate packages, but they answer different questions and a site needs all of them in the right order.
| What it changes | Typical work | When it comes first | |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-page SEO | How relevant and useful each page is | Keyword mapping, titles, headings, copy, internal links, schema | Pages are indexed but sit on pages two to eight |
| Technical SEO | Whether pages can be crawled, rendered and indexed | Crawl fixes, canonicals, redirects, Core Web Vitals, rendering | Pages are missing from the index or the site is slow |
| Off-page SEO | How much authority the site has | Digital PR, editorial links, brand mentions | Pages are strong but competitors have far more links |
For most small and mid-sized sites, on-page work is the cheapest improvement available, because it uses pages and authority you already have.
On-page SEO pays back fastest when Search Console shows impressions but few clicks: Google is already testing your pages for the right searches and ranking them too low to be chosen. It also suits sites that have grown by adding pages without a plan, and businesses about to invest in content or links that want the foundations right first.
We work as an on-page SEO agency for businesses in Leeds and across Yorkshire, for UK companies selling nationally, and remotely for US firms. If your pages are not being indexed at all, start with a technical SEO audit instead. If you are unsure which problem you have, the SEO audit will tell you.

On-page SEO is the practice of improving the content and HTML of an individual page, including its title, headings, copy, internal links, images and schema, so that it ranks for a specific search and satisfies the person who searched.
Our on-page SEO services include keyword mapping, title and meta description rewriting, heading structure, copy improvements, internal linking, image optimisation and schema markup, delivered page by page in priority order.
On-page SEO is part of every monthly plan, which start from £300 and £700 per month. A one-off project is priced by the number of pages after a £495 audit. All prices exclude VAT.
On-page SEO changes what is on your own pages to make them more relevant and useful. Off-page SEO earns links and mentions from other websites to build authority. Most sites need on-page work first, because links cannot rescue a page that does not answer the search.
Changes to pages that are already indexed are usually picked up within days to a few weeks of Google recrawling them. Pages sitting on pages two to five tend to move first. Competitive terms take longer and often need links as well.
No. SEO copywriting is one part of on-page SEO. On-page SEO also covers keyword mapping, titles, headings, internal links, images and schema. We offer both, and they are usually delivered together.
