SEO & Digital Marketing Consultancy in Belfast, Northern Ireland

SEO, content, audits, training, and AI search readiness for businesses across Belfast, Northern Ireland, and the UK.

Every service I offer is built around your specific business, your audience, your competitors, and your budget. I work with B2C and B2B companies of all sizes, from sole traders to established organisations with in-house teams.

Search is changing. Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and tools like Perplexity are reshaping how people find businesses online. I build AI search visibility into my SEO, content, and audit work as standard, so your business stays visible across both traditional and AI-driven search. You can read more about this in my guide to AI Search and GEO.

About me

I’m Noreen Pickering, and I’ve been working in SEO and digital marketing since 1999. I’m an approved Go Succeed NI mentor, an Intertrade Ireland consultant, and I teach SEO and Paid Search at Level 4 and Level 6 for the Chartered Institute of Marketing. I work with one client per niche in any local area, so you’ll never be competing with another client of mine for the same search terms.

FAQs

How long does SEO take to produce results?

Most businesses start seeing measurable position improvements within three to six months of targeted SEO work. Pages already ranking between positions 8 and 20 for relevant terms can move to page one more quickly. New pages targeting competitive terms like “SEO Belfast” take longer because they need to build authority over time.

Do you work with businesses outside Belfast?

Yes. Most of my clients are based across Northern Ireland including Derry, Antrim, Down, Armagh, and Fermanagh, and I also work with businesses in Ireland and the UK. Most work is done remotely with no need for in-person meetings (though I enjoy meeting up with my lovely clients for a coffee and chat!).

What is included in your SEO service?

Every engagement starts with a full audit covering technical health, on-page optimisation, content quality, and backlink profile. From there I build a specific action plan and work through it systematically. You receive regular reporting that shows what has been done, what has changed, and what is next.

Do you tie clients into long contracts?

No. All arrangements are month-to-month with no lock-in. You stay because the work is delivering, not because you are contractually obliged to.

Do you work with more than one business in the same sector?

No. I take on one client per niche in any local area. That means your SEO work never competes against itself.

What is AI search and does your SEO service cover it?

AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews are changing how people find businesses online. I build AI search visibility into every SEO strategy as standard, ensuring clients are positioned for both traditional search rankings and AI-generated responses.
