- 1
Audit
We review your website, Google Business Profile, Search Console data and competitors to find what is holding you back.

Fix
We fix technical issues first, because crawling and indexing problems block every other improvement.
- 3
Build
We improve and create pages that answer what customers search for, and earn reviews and genuine links.
- 4
Report
Each month we report calls, enquiries and revenue from organic search, in plain English.

We specialise in SEO for six sectors: solicitors, accountants, plumbers and trades, dental and health clinics, garages, and salons and beauty clinics. Each has its own regulators, search behaviour and competitors.
Areas
Which areas of Greater Manchester do we cover?
We cover all ten Greater Manchester boroughs and the Cheshire border towns, and we build each client's visibility around the areas they genuinely serve.
Our clients are based in Manchester city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Tameside, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton and Wigan, and in Cheshire towns including Altrincham, Wilmslow and Knutsford. Google Maps results depend on the searcher's location, so local SEO targets the neighbourhoods where each business can realistically reach the top three.

Questions
Asked and answered
Can an SEO agency guarantee first place on Google?+
No. Google does not sell rankings and its algorithms change constantly, so no honest agency can guarantee first place. Agencies that guarantee positions usually target low-value keywords or use tactics that put your site at risk.
Do I need SEO if I already run Google Ads?+
Yes, in most cases. Google Ads stop the moment you stop paying, while organic rankings keep bringing enquiries. Search Console and Ads data together also show which keywords are worth ranking for organically.
Do you lock clients into long contracts?+
No. There is a three-month minimum, then the contract rolls monthly with 30 days' notice.
What is the difference between an SEO agency and an SEO consultant?+
An SEO agency usually works through account managers and larger teams, while an SEO consultancy lets you work directly with the specialist doing the work. MCRSEOPRO is a consultancy, so you always speak to the person working on your site.
Do you work with businesses outside Manchester?+
Yes. Most clients are in Greater Manchester and Cheshire, and technical SEO, audits and ecommerce SEO are delivered remotely to businesses anywhere in the UK.
