What we do

Four jobs, done properly

Most local businesses do not need everything under the sun. They need these four kept on top of, month after month.

Local SEO and your Google profile

Local SEO and your Google profile

Getting you into the map results for the "near me" searches across Leeds: your Google Business Profile, your reviews, the areas you cover and the local listings that back them up.

Technical SEO and site speed

Technical SEO and site speed

Fixing what quietly holds a site back — slow pages, broken links, pages Google never gets round to reading — so everything built on top of it actually counts.

Content that answers real questions

Content that answers real questions

Pages and posts written around what your customers search for, in your voice rather than ours, so people land on them, read them and get in touch.

Reporting you can actually read

One short report a month: where you rank, what changed, what enquiries came in and what we are doing next. No forty-page PDF nobody opens.

Who we are

A small Leeds team, not a call centre

Tarka Web Design works with businesses across Leeds and West Yorkshire — trades, clinics, solicitors, shops and the people who run them. You deal with the person doing the work, not an account handler reading from a script.

We do not lock anyone into a twelve-month contract, and we do not hide behind jargon. You get a plan you understand, work you can see happening, and a monthly report your accountant could follow.

  • Plain English, always — no jargon, no smoke
  • Rolling monthly plans you can stop with a month's notice
  • Everything we write and build stays yours
  • One business per trade, per area — never both sides of a search

How it works

Four steps, starting with a free review

Nothing complicated, and nothing to commit to before you know exactly what you would be getting.

  1. Step 1: A free review

    Tell us your website and the work you want more of. We go through the site, your Google profile and the firms ranking above you, then send back what we find. It takes us about a day and costs you nothing.

  2. Step 2: A plan with the prices on it

    We show you the handful of things that would move the needle first, what each one costs and roughly how long it takes. If we do not think it would pay for itself, we say so.

  3. Step 3: The work, month by month

    We get on with it: fixes to the site, your Google profile, the pages that need writing. You know what is happening each month before it happens.

  4. Step 4: Reporting and a regular catch-up

    A short report every month and a call whenever you want one. Rankings and traffic matter, but enquiries matter more, so that is what we lead with.

Who we work with

Businesses that live or die by local search

We are not fussy, but these are the ones we know inside out — and the ones where being found first genuinely changes the month.

Trades and home services

Trades and home services

Joiners, roofers, electricians, boiler engineers. People search once, ring twice and book the first firm that looks like it knows what it is doing.

Where we start: the map results for every suburb and village you will travel to.

Clinics and practices

Clinics and practices

Physios, dentists, opticians, vets and private practices, where one new patient on the books is worth a year of fees.

Where we start: treatment pages that answer the questions people ask before they book.

Shops, salons and independents

Shops, salons and independents

Independent retailers, cafés, salons and venues going up against chains with a marketing department behind them.

Where we start: your Google profile, your reviews and the searches that bring people through the door.

Where we work

Leeds, and the towns around it

We are based in Leeds and most of the businesses we look after are within half an hour of the city centre. Further out is fine too — we simply do the catch-ups on a call rather than over a brew.

  • Leeds city centre
  • Headingley
  • Chapel Allerton
  • Horsforth
  • Roundhay
  • Morley
  • Pudsey
  • Garforth
  • Otley
  • Wetherby
  • Guiseley
  • Bradford
  • Wakefield
  • Harrogate
  • Ilkley
  • Castleford

Not on the list? Ask — we cover most of West and North Yorkshire.

What customers say

In their words

A few of the businesses we look after around Leeds.

★★★★★

“We had paid two agencies before and never understood a word of what they sent us. Six months in with Tarka and we are on the first page for the work we actually want — and I know why.”
Ryan H. · Joinery, Horsforth

★★★★★

“They fixed things on our website nobody else had spotted, then wrote the pages our patients were searching for. The phone rings more, and that is the only number I care about.”
Anika P. · Private clinic, Chapel Allerton

★★★★★

“Straight-talking, quick to reply and no contract holding us hostage. The monthly report is one page long and it makes sense.”
Claire M. · Independent retailer, Otley

Questions

Things people ask before they ring

How long before I see results?

For most local businesses the map results move first, often inside four to eight weeks. Competitive searches across the whole of Leeds take longer — usually three to six months. Anyone promising page one in a fortnight is either lucky or lying.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Plans run month to month. Give us a month's notice and that is the end of it — we would rather you stayed because it is working.

What do you need from me?

Access to your website and your Google Business Profile, half an hour a month for a call, and an honest answer on which jobs you actually want more of. We handle the rest.

Do you build websites as well?

We do. Plenty of customers come to us for search and find that the website itself is what is holding them back. We will tell you straight if that is the case, and quote for the work separately.

Do you work with businesses outside Leeds?

Yes. Most of the businesses we look after are within about thirty miles, but the work does not need us in the room — we have customers across West and North Yorkshire.

What if my competitor is using you too?

They will not be. We take on one business per trade, per area, so we are never working both sides of the same search.

Want to know where you stand on Google?

Send us your website address and we will tell you what is holding it back: what we would fix first, what it would cost, and whether it is worth doing at all. It is free, and there is no follow-up call unless you ask for one.
