Why Startups Need Professional SEO Services
As a start-up business, your journey will most likely include limited budgets and fewer resources when competing against larger and more established competitors. Your new venture will need a way to bridge the gap – This is where search engines come in.
Did you know the top five organic results in SERPs receive a whopping 69.1% of all clicks? This statistic continues to highlight the importance of investing in start-up search engine optimisation to help emerging companies generate sustainable growth.
SEO is undergoing one of the biggest disruptions in its history due to the power of AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, among others. This means that organic search as we remember it is evolving, especially with Google’s rollout of generative search in 2024, despite this the future remains bright for businesses looking to online marketing as a solution.
SEO continues to positively impact businesses, helping them thrive online through brand awareness strategies, improving brand credibility and authority, and connecting them with users actively searching online for associated services and products, significantly boosting leads.
As more businesses and brands embrace the evolving digital marketing landscape, it is important that your business does not get left behind in an increasingly competitive online environment. This is where our startup SEO experts can help.

SEO Service For Startups List
HEALTH CHECK / TECHICAL AUDIT
As part of the campaign, our startup SEO experts analyse any potential friction points in your website’s performance. This will allow us to provide insights into what is preventing your website from competing more efficiently in search.
Why is this important?
Google uses over 200 ranking signals to rank websites. Our SEO expertise ensures that these signals are addressed by providing actionable insights and technical solutions to get your website ranking better in search results.
KEYWORD RESEARCH
Using sophisticated SEO tools, we conduct extensive research to unearth all relevant and profitable keywords with good search volume, realistic competition levels and a suitable audience match for the goods or services that your startup business provides.
Why is this important?
Keyword Research is an integral part to the success of our marketing services for early-stage companies. Not only does this help newly established brands better compete for higher-volume search terms, but if done correctly, it can increase traffic, and improve return on investment so that businesses stay on track with business goals.
ON-PAGE OPTIMISATION
As part of our SEO efforts, we address all issues that your website may have from an on-page perspective. This includes a large number of elements such as :
- Refreshing old content, sprinkling target keywords into relevant content, optimising title tags and meta descriptions.
- Improving Page Loading Speeds + Core Web Vital Signals
- Polishing Internal links and structured data.
- Reviewing conversion pathways and much more.
Why is this important?
On-page optimisation is critical to any SEO campaign and is normally the first area to be tackled. Not to be underrated, we have seen websites rank with simply getting the on-page SEO right. Business Medics has the experience and flexibility to work with a developer or simply offer impactful recommendations to get the best out of any website competing in Google’s search results.
OFF PAGE SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION
Through tried and proven techniques, we implement strategies that send valuable signals to search engines about your start-up website through other areas on the web.
Why is this important?
While implementing an on-page strategy is vital for SEO success, sending the right signals from external sources is equally as important to deliver results. Otherwise known as off-page SEO, this includes sending additional signals from social media platforms, local directories, external links from other websites, optimising a business’s Google business profile listing and even video content optimisation.
CONTENT OPTIMISATION
For content to rank well, it needs to be fresh, up-to-date, engaging and above all else satisfy users’ search intent when they land on your page from a search query.
As part of our SEO marketing services, we can provide valuable guidance on what your website needs to do to build a strong online presence through content so that it becomes a reliable resource for potential leads and web crawlers alike.
Why is this important?
Content is being consumed in larger quantities than ever and through many devices including Desktop computers, mobile phones and tablets.
Having an effective content marketing strategy is therefore crucial to any online strategy especially due to the arrival of Google’s Helpful Content Update, which rewards websites that prioritise high-quality content for users over attempting to manipulate organic results.
Through the use of blogs, guides, articles, white papers and product pages, startups can better demonstrate their expertise in their chosen field by crafting content with topical relevance which helps improve search visibility and grow online traffic.
LOCAL SEO + GOOGLE BUSINESS OPTIMISATION
Including a Local SEO ensures a clear focus on building a brand’s online reputation by appeasing algorithms affecting local search engine rankings. These include:
Claiming or optimising a local businesses ‘Google Business Profile‘ (Formerly known as Google My Business) listing for enhanced visibility in Google Maps.
Generating more positive reviews.
Building links from local directories (or citations) for more trusted authority.
Optimising on-page content for local search terms with high search volume.
Creating compelling content relevant to local searches.
Why is this important?
As a local business, you may also struggle to rank in search engine rankings and area listings, ultimately losing out on local customers.
If your business serves a specific location, then you should consider local SEO services to amplify your business’s ability to reach out to potential clients in your local area. Your SEO consultant can include this into the overarching on-page SEO strategies for startups.
Without this, you may lose ground to competitors that may be better optimised for local searches.
BENCHMARKING & ANALYTICS REVIEW

Why is this important?

We set up, review and optimise your Google Business Profile (Formerly known as Google My Business) to get the very best out of Google’s best-known business platform.
Why is this important?

How Much Does SEO Cost A New Business?
Startup SEO retainers typically cost around $1,000 to $1,500 per month.
At Business Medics, we offer flexible packages that allow you to invest as many hours as needed until you start seeing results.
SEO pricing varies by startup; the more competitive your industry, the more hours are required to achieve results, which can increase your marketing expenses.
If you’re competing in a crowded market with many established household names and brands, you should consider allocating additional resources to your SEO retainer.
How Long Does It Take to See Progress In Google's Search Engine Results?
While there is no set period for SEO to deliver results, a successful campaign should begin to see improvements after the initial 3 months.
SEO is a methodical, tested approach that takes time, effort, and money.
Rushing the process and attempting to fool the system can lead to a Google penalty.
Unfortunately, the SEO landscape is full of businesses attempting to optimise their website to manipulate rankings. Combine this with agencies promising fast 90-day rankings, and you get a minefield of dishonesty.
For business startups, we recommend sticking to our medium- to long-term strategy. It’s clean, ethical, and risk-free of Google penalties
How Long Does It Take to See Progress in Google?
Most startup SEO campaigns begin with a research phase where we benchmark your website’s current performance. This includes a technical audit, keyword research to guide your content strategy, and a competitor analysis to see how you rank against similar brands.
Based on these findings, we tailor your SEO strategy to focus on the areas that will drive the biggest improvements.
Can A New Business Survive Without SEO?
Yes, it can, but it may have to rely on other channels if it’s not directly working on its search engine marketing.
These include paid advertising such as Google Ads, building up a social media presence through platforms like X or TikTok or even through strong word of mouth.
While all of may contribute to your success, SEO continues to be one of the most effective ways to generate traffic sustainably.
