SSBClient testimonial
What it's like to work with us
"I came to Sebastian with an idea and not much else. I knew the kind of feeling I wanted my business to have, calm, warm, a safe space, but I had no clue how to turn that into something real online.
From the very first consultation he listened properly. He didn't push templates or jargon at me, he asked about my clients, my values, and what I wanted people to feel the moment they found me. That set the tone for everything.
The website he built captured it exactly. The branding, the colours, the whole feel, it's me. He handled the technical side completely so I never felt out of my depth, and kept me involved at every step without ever overwhelming me.
He didn't stop at the site. He set up my social media so everything matched and gave me launch posts ready to go. He even helped me with the merchandise angle, ways to present the pieces I already offer, which I hadn't expected. It felt like someone genuinely invested in my business growing, not just building a page and walking away.
Best of all, it went live ahead of schedule. I'm so happy with the result. If you're a small business owner who wants someone that actually gets what you're trying to create, I couldn't recommend Sebastian and SSB Consulting more."
Built for businesses on our patch.
From West Kirby to Birkenhead, we know the towns, the customers and how they search. Local knowledge, not a template from London.
Website design & build
We build the website ourselves, properly.
The website is the product. Everything else (SEO, content, Google Business Profile) only pays off once the site itself is fast, credible and easy to book from. So we start there, hand-built and tailored to your business.
Bespoke design
No cookie-cutter templates. A look that fits your brand and the way locals actually shop.
Mobile-first build
Most local searches happen on a phone. Every layout starts there, then scales up.
Fast by default
Lightweight code, optimised images and edge hosting so pages load quickly and rank well.
Copy that sells
We draft every page in plain English, built around what your customers actually search for.
Modern, clean code
Hand-built with React and TypeScript, not a bloated page builder held together with plugins.
Hosted & looked after
SSL, backups, updates, uptime monitoring. Never breaks on a Sunday, never needs your attention.
Just need a new website?
One-off builds are welcome. The growth retainer is optional. Most owners add it once the site starts pulling in enquiries.
You're already a great business. Your website should prove it.
Most local businesses in Wirral lose work to weaker competitors simply because they're easier to find and easier to contact online.
- You're great in real life, but invisible on Google.
- People can't book or enquire fast enough, so they bounce.
- Your site doesn't clearly show trust: reviews, certs, USPs.
- You're paying for a website that doesn't bring leads.
SSB builds the website and runs the growth system behind it, so your phone actually rings.
Why choose SSB Consulting
A local partner focused on your growth, not our ego.
You're not hiring a faceless agency. You're hiring a small Wirral team that takes your leads as seriously as you do.
Local Wirral team
Not a call centre. Not offshore. You'll always deal with the same person, and we know the towns your customers live in.
One point of contact
Website, local SEO, Google Business Profile and automation, all under one roof. No account managers, no chasing three suppliers.
Built for growth, not vanity
Every decision is measured against leads and enquiries. Pretty is nice; ringing phones are better.
Practical automation, built in
We set up automation that helps you capture and manage more enquiries: SMS booking reminders and AI-powered web chat available 24/7.
Honest advice

Ongoing support
Websites need looking after. Ours are hosted, monitored, backed up and improved every month.
Plain English, no jargon
We explain what we're doing and why, so you always know what you're paying for.
Tailored to small businesses
No enterprise processes bolted onto a two-person team. Everything is scoped to what actually matters for you.
What you get
Everything you need to win more local work.
New to SEO? It stands for Search Engine Optimisation. It's the work that helps your business show up on Google when someone nearby searches for what you do (e.g. "hairdresser Heswall" or "emergency plumber Wirral"). Done well, it means a steady flow of customers finding you for free, instead of you paying for every click.
High-converting website
Mobile fast, clear offer, calls-to-action above the fold.
Local SEO foundations
Service pages, on-page SEO and a structure Google understands.
Booking & enquiry capture
Forms, click-to-call or WhatsApp, whichever your customers use.
Google Business Profile
Optimised so 'near me' searches send work your way.
Monthly reporting + tweaks
You see what's working. We keep improving it on retainer.
Clear trust signals
Reviews, accreditations and proof surfaced where it matters.

Website strategy & design
We plan the pages, write the copy and design a site built around the way your customers actually buy. You review, we refine.
Launch & Google optimisation
We build, test and launch the site, then set up tracking, Google Business Profile and on-page SEO so Google can find you fast.
Ongoing growth & support
SEO, content, small tweaks and clear monthly reporting. Your site keeps improving instead of quietly ageing.

About SSB Consulting
15 years fixing systems for big operations, now working for local businesses.
"I spent 15 years optimising data, workflows, and systems for multi-million-pound operations. I bring that same rigorous, data-driven, no-nonsense approach to building your local business website."Sebastian, founder, SSB Consulting
In logistics, a small gap in a process quietly costs money every single day. Websites are no different: a slow page, a buried phone number or an enquiry nobody follows up is the same leak, just online. That background means I look at your business the way I looked at operations, systems and workflows, operational efficiency, the customer journey end to end, and the data that shows whether a change actually worked. Then I keep it practical, because you've got a business to run.
SSB Consulting was founded to give local businesses on the Wirral something bigger agencies won't offer: honest advice, a proper website and someone who actually cares whether the phone rings.
We've seen too many owners pay for pretty websites that don't bring a single enquiry, or sign up for SEO packages they don't understand. So we built a simple alternative: one local team that designs the website, handles the local SEO, sets up your Google Business Profile, adds practical automation such as SMS booking reminders and 24/7 web chat, and stays with you long after launch.
Our mission is simple: help established local businesses become the obvious choice in their town. Not through gimmicks or jargon, but through better websites, better search visibility and better systems behind the scenes.
Our approach is plain-English, measured and long-term. We only work with businesses we can genuinely help, and we'd rather turn work down than take on a job we can't deliver on.
- Local first, Wirral, Cheshire and North Wales.
- One team, one point of contact.
- Websites built for leads, not awards.
- SEO and marketing baked in, not bolted on.
- Automation used where it saves real time.
- Honest advice, even when it costs us work.
- Ongoing support, we don't disappear after launch.
- No jargon, ever.
