From a stuck Wix site to the top of Exeter search
An 11-month SEO programme and a website rebuild took a family-run Exeter storage operator from invisible to number one in local search, and it is still compounding into 2025.
A family-run operator that search couldn’t find
MG Self Storage is a family-run container storage business in Exeter, well known locally for its service but hard to find online. They came to us with a simple goal: turn local searches into real enquiries.
The harder problem sat under the bonnet. The existing website was built on Wix, which limited almost every move we wanted to make: little control over technical SEO and site structure, awkward metadata, and no straightforward way for the owner to manage his own content.
An 11-month programme, built to compound
SEO pays off through consistent, quality work over time. Three phases took MG from foundations to local dominance.
Foundations
From January 2023: keyword research to map the opportunity, then the quick wins. A metadata refresh, optimised header tags and a proper internal-linking structure, plus tidied social metadata and two Google Business Profiles consolidated into one.
Content and authority
The two things MG was missing most. A steady stream of SEO-optimised blog content alongside genuine authority building through citations, guest posting and link building.
A rebuild off Wix
We moved MG onto a flexible platform the owner could edit himself. It loaded faster, was far easier to manage, and removed the technical ceiling Wix had imposed. Engagement climbed and bounce rate dropped.
The 2025 picture: still compounding
“Rahul and Chris have been great in helping us improve our Google rankings. They are always contactable and explain everything simply and clearly.”
