PROVEN PERFORMANCE

Belfast B2B Growth Case Study

The Challenge

A Belfast-based commercial equipment supplier was losing high-ticket regional contract inquiries to national UK competitors due to poor technical architecture, thin product page content, and zero local search visibility across Northern Ireland.

The Solution

  •  CortexZ overhauled their site architecture to isolate Northern Ireland commercial intent, implemented product-level schema, optimized mobile performance for site speed, and secured local backlink placements from regional business press.

The result

Belfast Enterprises Trust CortexZ

Managing SEO internally requires a full team, a technical specialist, a copywriter, a link builder, and a data analyst. For most growing enterprises, maintaining this in-house team is inefficient and costly. Partnering with CortexZ gives you immediate access to senior-level expertise, industry-leading tools, and proven frameworks for a fraction of the cost of building an internal department.

FAQS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Pricing depends on your site's current health, how competitive your keywords are locally, and how much content and technical work is needed. We break this down clearly during your free consultation rather than quoting a flat retainer upfront.

Most clients see measurable movement in rankings and traffic within 3-4 months, with stronger results building over 6-12 months. SEO is cumulative, so we set realistic milestones and report on progress monthly.

No. While SEO is a long-term strategy, we don't lock clients into lengthy contracts. We earn your continued business through the results we deliver, not fine print.

That's the most common starting point. Our technical audit identifies exactly what's holding your existing site back, whether that's crawl errors, weak content, or poor local signals, so we fix what's already there rather than starting from scratch.

No reputable SEO company can guarantee a specific ranking position. Google's algorithm has too many variable factors. What we do guarantee is a transparent, white-hat process focused on sustainable growth in traffic, leads, and revenue.
