Find you.Trust you.Choose you.

Halizona helps businesses across Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, Leeds, Keighley and the surrounding area improve their visibility across Google, Maps and AI search.

We are based in Halifax, which puts every town on this page within an hour of the office. Skipton, just over the border in North Yorkshire, is covered as a nearby area.

Where to start

Which of these is the question you have?

Businesses that work across more than one part of West Yorkshire tend to ring us with one of four questions. Choose the closest, read a proper answer, and then see how we would go about it for you.

Find you. Trust you. Choose you.

Where SEO sits in the way we work

Being found is the first of three jobs, and on this site it gets most of the attention. The other two decide whether a search in Bradford or Leeds turns into an enquiry, so they are here as well.

Find you

Found in every town you serve

Search, Maps and the AI answers each behave a little differently from one town to the next, and a business that serves five of them needs to be visible in all five. This is the bulk of what we do for the businesses on this page.

  • SEO
  • Local SEO
  • Google Business Profile
  • Google Maps
  • Location pages
  • Service pages
  • Keyword research
  • AI search visibility
  • Local citations
Trust you

Believed once you are found

A page that ranks in Huddersfield still has to convince someone from Huddersfield. Photographs of the actual jobs, reviews from named customers and written-up results do that far better than a paragraph about quality.

  • Google reviews
  • Written case studies
  • Project photography
  • Video case studies
  • Real project results
  • Helpful guides
Choose you

Easy to choose from anywhere in the county

The enquiry has to be simple wherever the visitor is sitting. Clear messaging, a form that asks the right questions and tracking that shows which towns and which pages the work is coming from.

  • Website design
  • Messaging
  • Calls to action
  • Enquiry forms
  • Landing pages

Client work in three West Yorkshire towns

A Brighouse contractor building across the county, a Halifax electrician and a Huddersfield gas engineer. What each needed, what we did and what changed.

Bond Brickwork

Business
Commercial brickwork and masonry contractor based in Brighouse, laying brick for national housebuilders on major residential developments across Yorkshire. Swarcliffe, on the east side of Leeds, is one of the sites we have photographed from the drone.
Problem
The developments are spread across the county, so the searches that bring in work are spread across it too. Bond needed to be the obvious answer wherever the next scheme happened to be, and the old website gave a developer very little to judge them on.
Work
Since 2018 we have designed, built and managed the website, the marketing channels around it and the search work: project pages, locations, capabilities and photographs from live sites, kept up to date as the business has grown.

At the top of Google for the commercial brickwork searches that matter, and recommended by AI search.

RB Electrical

Business
Halifax electrical contractor, registered as R.B Electrical (Halifax) Limited, doing commercial and domestic work and EV charging as a Rolec installer, OZEV approved.
Problem
People search for the specific job they need doing, and a single electrical services page cannot rank for all of them. EV charging in particular was a growing line of work with nothing on the site to catch it.
Work
Website, brand, search and content, with the marketing kept running since. Every service, EV charging included, got a page of its own with enough on it to rank in its own right.

An average of around two organic leads a week for five years, which works out at roughly a 5:1 return on the investment.

Fay from Dolphin Heating beside her van on a job in Huddersfield Gas engineer · Huddersfield · Website, positioning, SEO, AI search

Dolphin Heating

Business
Fay runs Dolphin Heating from Huddersfield: a Gas Safe registered engineer with more than 25 years in the trade and one van. A good number of her customers specifically want a female gas engineer.
Problem
The thing people actually type, female gas engineer Huddersfield, was nowhere on the old site, so the customers looking hardest for exactly what Fay offers could not find her.
Work
Website, positioning, SEO and AI search, all built around that one search and the town it is typed in.

Fay is number one on Google for female gas engineer Huddersfield, and the AI answer names her as well.

“David created me a new website. He was easy to talk to and understood exactly what I wanted. I was very impressed with his knowledge and he was always on hand if I had any questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David and Halizona. Excellent service.”

Where we work

SEO in each of the West Yorkshire towns

The county is five distinct markets that happen to share a boundary. Here is what doing business in each one looks like from a search point of view, and the nearest work we can show you.

Halifax

Halifax is where Halizona is based, so it is the town we know best. Calderdale business is heavy on construction, trades, engineering and manufacturing, with a lot of established family firms in the valley towns around it, and most of the searches that matter here are a service with Halifax or a neighbouring town on the end.

RB Electrical is a Halifax client: an average of around two organic leads a week for five years, from a site where every service has its own page. Standeven Flooring in Hipperholme and Bond Brickwork in Brighouse are both within a few miles of the office.

  • Brighouse
  • Elland
  • Sowerby Bridge
  • Hipperholme
  • Hebden Bridge
  • Todmorden
  • Ripponden
  • Northowram
  • Shelf

Huddersfield

Huddersfield has a big spread of trades, property, manufacturing and professional services businesses, many of them family-run and long established. Searches here are often very specific: a named service, a named area like Holmfirth or Lindley, and increasingly a question typed into an AI assistant.

Dolphin Heating is the Huddersfield example. Fay is number one on Google for female gas engineer Huddersfield and named in the AI answer, because the site was built around the words her customers actually use. Bond Brickwork sits on the Brighouse side of the boundary with an HD postcode, which is why their own site describes them as based in Huddersfield.

  • Holmfirth
  • Honley
  • Meltham
  • Marsden
  • Slaithwaite
  • Lindley
  • Almondbury
  • Kirkburton
  • Mirfield
  • Denby Dale

Bradford

Bradford is the biggest of the five and the most varied. Construction, property, engineering, manufacturing, logistics and a large number of B2B services all compete for searches that stretch from the city centre out through Shipley and Bingley towards the Aire Valley. Rankings can differ from one side of the district to the other, because the district is so wide.

The closest work we can point to is Jack Lunn’s Flower Meadows development in Bradford, which we filmed from the drone as part of their video and marketing strategy work. Halifax is next door, so getting on site in Bradford for photography or filming is straightforward.

  • Shipley
  • Bingley
  • Saltaire
  • Baildon
  • Ilkley
  • Idle
  • Thornton
  • Queensbury
  • Low Moor
  • Wyke

Leeds

Leeds is the most competitive search market in the county by a distance. Every service has a page one full of established firms, national brands and agencies with big budgets, and a business on the outskirts is competing with the city centre for the same searches. Being specific about the part of Leeds you serve and the exact work you do is what gets a smaller firm seen.

Bond Brickwork’s Swarcliffe site in east Leeds is one we photographed from the air. Standeven Flooring fitted the M&S Food store in Pudsey, which we filmed as it happened, and Jack Lunn, a long-established Leeds main contractor, works with us on drone, video and marketing strategy.

  • Swarcliffe
  • Seacroft
  • Cross Gates
  • Pudsey
  • Morley
  • Horsforth
  • Headingley
  • Rothwell
  • Garforth
  • Wetherby

Keighley

Keighley is the smallest of the five and, in our experience, the least contested, so a specific service done properly can rank well here sooner than it would in Leeds. Engineering and manufacturing are still a big part of the town, Haworth brings a tourism and hospitality trade, and plenty of tradespeople serve the whole Aire Valley from here, up past Silsden to Skipton over the border in North Yorkshire.

We have no named Keighley client to show you yet, so we will not pretend otherwise. The nearest work is Jack Lunn’s Flower Meadows development in Bradford, and Halifax is a little over half an hour away by car.

  • Haworth
  • Oxenhope
  • Oakworth
  • Silsden
  • Steeton
  • Riddlesden
  • East Morton
  • Cullingworth
  • Denholme

Common questions

SEO across West Yorkshire, answered

Do you cover the whole of West Yorkshire?

Yes. Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, Leeds and Keighley are the five towns we work in most, along with the areas around them: Brighouse, Holmfirth, Shipley, Pudsey, Haworth and the rest. Wakefield and Dewsbury are covered too, they simply do not have a section on this page yet.

Skipton is over the border in North Yorkshire, so we treat it as a nearby area, and we are currently working with High Corn Mill there.

Where is Halizona actually based?

Halifax, close to the middle of the county. That is the only office, and from it Huddersfield and Bradford are around half an hour away, Keighley and Leeds under an hour. We visit for photography, filming and meetings, and the rest of the work happens from Halifax.

How long does SEO take to work across several towns?

Longer than in one town, because each place is its own competition. A specific service in Keighley or Halifax can move within a few months. Leeds takes longer for the same service, and the county-wide picture usually builds over a year or more as the town pages, the reviews and the mentions accumulate.

We report on it town by town, so you can see which ones are moving and which need more work.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No, and nobody honest does, because Google decides the rankings and it does not tell anyone in advance. What we can promise is that the work is measured: which searches, which towns, which pages, and what came from them. You will always know what we are doing, why, and what it is achieving.

Should we target one town or the whole county?

Start with the town where you already win most of your work, then add the others one at a time. A page that tries to be Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, Leeds and Keighley all at once tends to rank nowhere. The guide on ranking across more than one town goes through the order we would do it in.

Do you work with construction and trades businesses?

More than any other kind. Bond Brickwork, RB Electrical, Standeven Flooring, Dolphin Heating and Jack Lunn are all construction, trades or property businesses, and between them they cover most of the county. We also work with professional services, property and hospitality businesses.

How do you report on what is working in each town?

Search Console and our own rank checks, broken down by town and by page, plus the enquiries themselves with the town they came from. You get a plain written summary of what moved, what we did and what comes next. No dashboard you need a course to read.

Where in West Yorkshire do you work?
