More of your customers are asking AI, not just Google

When people need a business like yours, more and more of them ask ChatGPT or Google's AI for a recommendation. Instead of a long list, they get two or three names.

If yours isn't one of them, that customer goes elsewhere. And you never even knew they were looking.

You don't need to understand how any of it works. You just need to know what's stopping your business being recommended, and what to do about it. That's why I created the YorkshireTechy SEO Score Checkers.

Why I created the SEO Score Checkers

Every week I look at small business websites that are losing out on traffic, leads and sales, and it's rarely because the business isn't good at what it does. It's usually down to a handful of simple mistakes. A page Google can't see. A homepage that never says where you work. No recent reviews. Small things that are easy to fix once you know they're there.

The trouble is, most business owners have no way of knowing. You're busy running your business, and SEO advice is either full of jargon or written for companies with a marketing team.

Helping small businesses is what I've always done, so I built these checkers to give local businesses a helping hand. They're completely free, they're written in plain English, and they point you straight to the simple fixes that make the biggest difference. Some you'll be able to sort yourself in an afternoon. If you'd like a hand with the rest, I'm here.

"Most of the businesses I see aren't losing customers because they're bad at what they do. They're losing them to simple mistakes nobody told them about." Craig Pickles

What's in your free, comprehensive report

Once you've answered the questions, I'll email you a comprehensive, personalised report, completely free. It's written for business owners, not web developers, and it's tailored to the checker you chose.

Four simple steps

Three things decide whether customers find you

Every checker looks at the same three simple things about your business. I call them the three Ts.

Technical

Is your website quick, safe and easy to use on a phone?

Text

Does your website clearly say what you do, who for and where?

Trust

Do other people vouch for you, with reviews and recommendations?

Most businesses are good at one or two. Your report shows which one needs your attention first.

About me

Who's behind the SEO Score Checkers?

I'm Craig Pickles, and I run YorkshireTechy from Pocklington in East Yorkshire. I've been building and fixing websites for over 25 years, from big brands like Alton Towers, Santander and Matalan to the small Yorkshire businesses I work with today.

I created the YorkshireTechy SEO Score Checkers because most SEO advice is either full of jargon or written for companies with a marketing team. My clients don't have time for either. They want to know what's wrong, what to fix first, and whether it's worth the effort.

The checkers give you exactly that, in plain English, and I made separate Shopify and WordPress versions because those sites have their own settings and pitfalls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free?

Yes, completely. The checkers and the comprehensive report are both free. No catch, no upsell and no card details.

Do you scan my website

No. simple SEO scanners only check the technical side of your website. My checker asks about your whole business, including reviews, your Google profile and whether AI tools recommend you, so your report covers far more. It may take a little more time but you get a free comprehensive report at the end of it.

Which checker should I use?

If your website is built on Shopify, use the Shopify checker. If it's built on WordPress, use the WordPress checker. For anything else, or if you're not sure, use the Website checker.

Can I try more than one?

Yes. Each one is free and sends its own report.

I'm not technical. Will I understand it?

Yes, that's the whole idea. The questions are in plain English, each one has a quick explanation if you need it, just click the queston mark by the side of each question. If you are having problems then "Don't know" is always a fine answer.

How long does it take?

You can complete the whole checker in around five minutes.

What will you do with my email address?

Send you your report. I'll only send you anything else if you tick the box to say yes, and I'll never share your details.

What will you do with my email address?

Send you your report. I'll only send you anything else if you tick the box to say yes, and I'll never share your details.

What if my score is low?

Don't worry. Most small business websites have plenty of room to improve, and that's good news: it means there are easy wins waiting. Your report shows you where to start.

Can you just sort it out for me?

Yes, if you'd like. Your report includes a link to book a friendly chat with me, with no obligation.
