Worked on from Halifax, twenty minutes down the road, for businesses in Huddersfield and across West Yorkshire.
Where to start
Which of these is happening to you?
Most SEO problems we are asked about in Huddersfield come down to one of these six. Each opens a proper diagnosis: the usual causes in the order they tend to happen, how to check each one yourself in Search Console or your Business Profile, and only then what we would do about it.
Find you. Trust you. Choose you.
Where a search problem sits, and what fixes it
Being found is the first of three jobs, and it is the one this site is about. But a ranking on its own does not pay a wage, so here is how the search work connects to the trust and the enquiry that follow it.
Find you
Found by the right people
Most of what we diagnose lives here: the pages Google cannot see, the services with no page of their own, the Business Profile that was never finished, the signals an AI assistant needs and cannot find. Fixing these is what moves a Huddersfield business up the results.

Believed once they arrive
A first-page ranking that lands on a page with no reviews, no photographs and no named jobs is a wasted ranking. Reviews, case studies and real project photography give both the visitor and the search engine something to weigh.

When the traffic is there and the enquiries are not, the fault is usually on the page: an unclear message, a buried form, no tracking to show which pages do the work. We fix that too, and we measure it.

Search problems we have already solved near Huddersfield
Three businesses within a few miles of the town, what was stopping the right customers finding them, and what changed.
Gas engineer · Huddersfield · Website, SEO, AI search
Dolphin Heating
Business
Fay Dolphin is a Gas Safe registered engineer with more than 25 years in the trade, running one van across Huddersfield. A good share of her customers specifically want a female gas engineer.
Problem
The thing that sets the business apart is exactly what those customers type, and it needed a website and a search presence written around those words before Google or an AI assistant could connect the two.
Work
Website, positioning, SEO and AI search, all built around the phrase customers actually use, so the page, its title and the way the business describes itself say the same thing in the same words.
Number one on Google for female gas engineer Huddersfield, and named in the AI answer when people ask.
“David created me a new website. He was easy to talk to and understood exactly what I wanted. I was very impressed with his knowledge and he was always on hand if I had any questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David and Halizona. Excellent service.”
Fay DolphinOwner, Dolphin Heating
Commercial brickwork · Brighouse · Search work since 2018
Bond Brickwork
Business
Brickwork and masonry packages for the national housebuilders, delivered from Brighouse, a few miles up the road from Huddersfield, on large residential developments across Yorkshire.
Problem
Developers and main contractors search for a brickwork subcontractor by trade and by area, and a firm of Bond’s scale needed to appear for those searches with proof of the work behind it.
Work
We have designed, built and managed the website, the marketing channels and the business systems around them since 2018, as a long-term marketing partner. The search work has run alongside the whole time: project pages, capabilities, locations and evidence from live sites.
At the top of Google for the commercial brickwork searches that matter to the business, and recommended when people ask AI search the same question.
Electrical contractor · Halifax · Brand, website, SEO, content
RB Electrical
Business
R.B Electrical (Halifax) Limited, an electrical contractor doing commercial and domestic work plus EV charging installation, Rolec and OZEV approved.
Problem
Each service is a separate search. EV charging, commercial installation and domestic work are looked for by different people using different words, and one general electrical page cannot rank for all of them.
Work
The brand, the website, the SEO and the content, then the marketing month by month. Every specific service got a page of its own with enough on it to rank in its own right, and the content has kept coming since.
An average of around two organic leads a week for five years, which works out at roughly a five to one return on the investment.

About Halizona
The Halifax marketing company behind this site

Websites, SEO, AI search, content, social media, photography, video and marketing strategy are all done by the same small team, because a search problem is rarely only a search problem. The fix often sits in the page, the photographs or the message, and it helps to have the people who can change those in the same room.
We have been working with websites and digital marketing for approaching 20 years, and today we work with businesses across West Yorkshire and nearby areas, including Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, Leeds, Keighley and Skipton.

Common questions
SEO in Huddersfield, the questions we get asked
Can you tell me why my site is not ranking without a full audit?
Usually, yes. Search Console, a site: search and twenty minutes on the Business Profile show the cause more often than not, and the six guides on this site walk you through the same checks we would run. We will tell you what we found and what we think is worth fixing first. A full audit only follows if the problem is genuinely buried.
How long does SEO take to work in Huddersfield?
It depends on what the diagnosis finds. An indexing block or a broken redirect can be fixed in a day and show in the results within a few weeks. Ranking a new service page against established competitors is months of work, and holding a position in the Map Pack is ongoing. We tell you which of those you are looking at before you spend anything.
The one thing we will not do is put a date on a ranking, because nobody controls Google.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No, and we would be wary of anyone who does. Google decides the order, and the most anyone can promise honestly is to find the real cause, fix it properly and report what changed. That is how Bond Brickwork came to sit at the top of Google for its commercial brickwork searches, and how RB Electrical has averaged around two organic leads a week for five years, and neither came with a guarantee.
How much does SEO cost in Huddersfield?
Less than you might fear if the problem is a single technical fault, and a proper monthly commitment if you want to take a competitive search off an established rival. We do not publish a rate card for SEO because the work is so different from one business to the next. What you get is a diagnosis first, then a fixed figure for the work it points to, agreed before anything starts.
Are you actually based in Huddersfield?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Halizona is based in Halifax, a short drive away, and we do not have an office in Huddersfield. We are in the town regularly for client meetings, photography and filming, Dolphin Heating is a Huddersfield client and Bond Brickwork is in Brighouse, and everything in a search diagnosis can be done from your website and your Google account wherever we happen to be sat.
Will I need a new website to fix this?
Not usually. Most of the problems on this site are fixed on the website you already have: a blocked page, a missing service page, a Business Profile nobody finished, a form nobody can find. A rebuild only comes into it when the platform itself is the fault, and we will say so plainly if that is what we find, with the reasons.
What happens if I stop?
The pages, the fixes and the Business Profile all stay yours and keep working. What stops is the upkeep: new content, keeping pace with competitors who are still investing, and watching for the drops that Google’s updates cause. Competitive searches drift without it. A fixed technical fault stays fixed.
Will I know what you are doing and whether it is working?
Yes, always. You will know what we are doing, why we are doing it and what it is achieving, because that is one of the three values the company runs on. Reporting covers the searches you asked to be found for, the enquiries that came from them and what we are changing next, in plain English.

Want the right Huddersfield customers finding you first?
You do not necessarily need more marketing. You might need the marketing you already have to stop tripping over itself.
Tell us the search you want to be found for and what happens when you try it, and we will work out where the gap is.
