Website Currently Under Maintenance
We build high-converting websites for local service businesses in Torquay.
Don't take our word for it. Here's what local business owners across Devon say about working with us.
Amber Kendall
Ed was a life saver when we had issues with our new website. Another local web designer let us down and left us with a bit of a mess. He managed to fix everything and get the site back to where we wanted it. 😁
Todd Smith
We have just had the redesign of our Carpet and Flooring business website by Local Boom Web Design & SEO, and we are so pleased with the design! Ed was so easy to work with and really got what we were trying to do with the website and his suggestions were great! It was also great to have someone local to Exeter that knows the area. Highly recommend.
Phillip Nichols
We were in desperate need of a web redesign at the Whipton Eye Centre in Exeter and Ed surpassed our expectations. An amazing, crisp, clean, professional looking website. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Torquay has more businesses competing for local search visibility than almost anywhere else in South Devon. Hospitality, trades, health, professional services. Every one of them needs to show up when a customer searches. Most don't.
The problem is consistent. A hotel on the seafront with a website that hasn't been touched since 2019. A tradesperson covering the whole TQ1 to TQ4 corridor with no service pages and no local SEO structure. An independent retailer on Union Street who relies entirely on footfall and word of mouth while a competitor with a faster, better-built website takes the enquiries they should be winning online.
Torbay's visitor economy means search volumes are high. Tourists arriving in Torquay search for restaurants, accommodation, and services on their phones before they have left the harbour car park. Residents search for local tradespeople, clinics, and professional services the same way everyone else does. On Google. On mobile. Right now.
A slow, outdated website doesn't just look bad. It hands those searches to someone else.
Most agencies hand you something that looks reasonable in a browser preview and then disappear. Every Local Boom Web Design & SEO website is built around conversion rate optimisation. Every page, every heading, and every call to action is designed to turn a visitor into a call or an enquiry.
No templates. No guesswork. Built for your business, your services, and your customers in Torquay.
We build on two platforms: WordPress and Astro. WordPress suits businesses that want an easy-to-manage CMS with flexible content. Astro is the right choice when raw speed and performance are the priority. Pages that load instantly, score high on PageSpeed, and give you a technical edge in search. We'll advise which fits your needs best during the free audit.
Every enquiry you get through a Local Boom Web Design & SEO website comes from organic search. No ad spend. No cost per click. Results that build month on month and keep working long after the build is done.
What every Local Boom Web Design & SEO website includes:
Every Local Boom Web Design & SEO website comes with a guarantee. If you aren't seeing more enquiries within 90 days, we keep working until you do. No extra charge. Most clients see results well before that. Our CRO work typically delivers within the first 30 days. We've never had to trigger the guarantee. We're confident we won't need to.
Book a Discovery CallNo templates. The platform is chosen for your specific needs. WordPress for flexibility and ease of management, Astro for maximum speed and performance. Both built from scratch around your services and your customers.
Torquay is a town where customers search on the move. A visitor checking restaurants near the harbour. A resident searching for a local tradesperson from their sofa. Your website needs to work perfectly on every device, every time.
Every page is structured to rank. Headings, metadata, internal links, and page architecture are all built to give you the best chance of appearing when Torbay customers search.
Fast-loading sites rank better and convert better. A site that takes four seconds to load on mobile loses the customer before they have seen a word. We build for speed from the ground up.
Every page makes it as easy as possible to get in touch. On mobile, that means one tap to call. No hunting for a number. No buried contact page.
You'll know exactly how many people are visiting, where they're coming from, and what they do when they land. No mystery. No vanity metrics.
Local Boom Web Design & SEO was founded by Ed Meredith Yates after years as SEO Manager at one of Devon's largest digital agencies. He watched good businesses get overpromised and underdelivered. Reports full of numbers that meant nothing. Websites that looked fine in a Zoom call and generated no enquiries.
Before starting Local Boom Web Design & SEO, Ed built two six-figure businesses from scratch using the same organic search principles applied for clients today. He knows what it takes to generate revenue from a website because he's done it, without a penny spent on ads.
Every website is built from scratch. Every result is measured in calls, enquiries, and booked jobs. Not impressions or reach.
Based in Kingsteignton, less than twenty minutes from Torquay on the A380. Serving businesses across Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot, Exeter, and wider South Devon. Not a regional office. Not an account manager who has never been to Torbay.
We look at where you sit against the businesses ranking above you in Torquay and across Torbay. How your site performs on mobile. Where you're losing searches you should be winning. No cost, no commitment.
Before anything gets built, Ed learns the business. What you do, who you do it for, what makes a customer choose you over the next result on Google. The website comes second. Understanding your business comes first.
Design, build, and optimise. You are kept in the loop throughout. Two structured review points built in. Homepage first, service pages second. Nothing goes live until you have seen it, reviewed it, and signed it off.
Your site goes live and the work starts compounding. Every month, more searches captured. More enquiries landing. The gap between you and your Torquay competitors widening. The goal is straightforward: become the first call in your industry across Torbay.
A great website is the foundation. Local SEO is what keeps customers finding it long after launch. In a market as competitive as Torquay, the two work best together.
