The five things killing your local search ranking
Most local SEO problems aren't glamorous — they're broken basics. Here's what to check first.

We build the systems that get local businesses found online, turn more visitors into enquiries, and take the busywork off your plate — professional websites, local SEO, and AI automation, done properly.
Hands-on experience across websites, local search, and AI automation — not theory.
Four core services, done properly, instead of ten done half-heartedly.
Based in Leeds, working with businesses across Yorkshire and the wider UK.
Fixed price for the project, a deposit to start, no surprise invoices later.
About
I'm Monty, founder of MTU Projects. Ten-plus years working hands-on with websites, local SEO, and now AI systems — real results for real local businesses, not agency theory.
I started MTU Projects because too many small businesses get sold marketing they don't need, by people who've never run one. I'd rather tell you what's genuinely worth fixing, do the work properly, and hand the finished project over to you once it's paid for.
"My goal's simple: tell you what's broken, fix what's worth fixing, and once it's paid for, it's yours outright." — Monty, FounderGet in touch
Four core services, done properly, instead of ten done half-heartedly.
Design
A modern, responsive website that builds trust fast and turns visitors into enquiries — not just a digital brochure.
Convert
Purpose-built pages for ad campaigns, promotions, and lead generation — designed around one goal: turning clicks into enquiries.
Local SEO
Getting your business found in local Google searches and on Maps, so nearby customers find you before they find your competitors.
Automate
Handling enquiries, bookings, and routine customer communication automatically, so nothing sits waiting and you get your time back.
We also handle the supporting work — hosting, maintenance, and domain management — as part of delivery, not as headline services in their own right.
Deposit to start, fixed price for the project, no twelve-week "discovery" phase.
Scope
A deposit secures the work and protects both sides if plans change. The project itself is a fixed price for the agreed scope — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Reporting
No dashboards full of vanity metrics. You'll know what changed, why, and what it did to your numbers.
Ownership
Once your project has been completed and paid for in full, ownership of the website, your data, and your automations transfers to you outright. Want it managed ongoing? That's a retainer. Otherwise it's pay-as-you-go whenever something needs fixing or updating.
