Find you.Trust you.Choose you.
We are an SEO agency who work in Leeds, and getting you found on Google is half the job. The other half is being the firm an AI names when someone asks it who to use.
Halizona is an SEO agency working across Leeds and Yorkshire. We do traditional search and the newer job of getting you cited by AI answers, for firms like Jack Lunn, Bond Brickwork, RB Electrical and Standeven Flooring.
Send us your site and we will tell you where you actually rank in Leeds, whether an AI names you today, and what is stopping it.
“I need a residential brickwork contractor in Yorkshire for a new build housing development. Who would you recommend?”
The answer came back naming Bond Brickwork first, and citing their website as the source. They are our client. That is what this page is about.
Real five star reviews from the businesses we work with, several of them on Leeds contracts.

This is not a mock-up. We ran the question below on 8 August 2026 and this is what came back, citing our client’s own site.

Bond Brickwork came back first, ahead of every other firm in Yorkshire. That is not an accident and it is not paid for. It is what happens when a site is built so an answer engine can read it, understand it and trust it enough to name it.
Because Leeds is the biggest search market in the county by a distance, and almost nobody in it is set up for AI search yet. The national agencies bidding here are still selling the Google half on its own.
That gap is the opening, and it is open now rather than in five years. The businesses getting named in AI answers today are the ones who will still be named when everybody else works out what happened.
Ranking is no longer the finish line. Being the answer is.
Search only on this site, and both halves of it: the Google side everyone knows about, and the answer engine side almost nobody in Leeds is doing yet. The wider marketing sits on the main Halizona site.
The unglamorous half. Crawlability, speed, structure, headings that match what people actually type, and pages that answer the question rather than circling it. Most Leeds sites we look at are losing rankings to something fixable.
Making your business easy for an answer engine to find, understand and trust enough to name. Clean entity data, claims it can verify, and content shaped like the questions people actually ask it. Bond Brickwork is the proof above.
Rankings are easy to cherry pick, so we report on the things that are not: impressions, clicks, enquiries and whether an AI names you this month. All of it out of your own Search Console, which you keep access to.
Four Yorkshire firms, all of them working on Leeds sites, all of them found by people who did not know their name first.
Swarcliffe, Leeds · SEO · AI search
A brickwork contractor with a heavy presence on Leeds developments, including this completed 33 plot scheme at Swarcliffe, built for Jack Lunn. We run their search, and their site is built so an answer engine can read the claims and repeat them.
Top of Google, and the first firm an AI names when asked who to use in Yorkshire.
Leeds · Drone · Strategy
A long-established Leeds construction and property business. Drone, video and marketing strategy, so what people find online matches the scale of what they build.
Drove LinkedIn growth and engagement for a main contractor.
Leeds sites · SEO · Leads
An electrical contractor working across Leeds and West Yorkshire. Search built to bring the right jobs rather than the most jobs.
Two organic leads a week for five years, a 5 to 1 return.
Leeds sites · Website · Content
Commercial flooring, heavily active on Leeds contracts. Website redevelopment, on-site video and ongoing content, all feeding the same search presence.
A presence that finally matches the scale of the contracts.
Three numbers from three real clients, all of them working on Leeds sites.
An average of two organic leads a week, held for five years.
Asked who to use for brickwork in Yorkshire, AI search returns them first, and cites their site.
In the first year, once search and the rest of the marketing pulled the same way.
Rankings are a means, not the point. These are the five things we report on, and the order matters.
Where you appear for the searches that actually describe your work, and separately, whether an answer engine names you when someone asks it for a recommendation. Those are two different scoreboards now and we report both. Being on page one and invisible to ChatGPT is a real position to be in, and worth knowing about.
A Leeds contractor ranking for a national term nobody local types is a vanity result. We track the searches that come from people who could actually give you the work, including the long, specific ones people say out loud to an AI, and we tell you which of them you are winning.
Volume is easy to move and easy to fake. We look at how many enquiries came in, which searches produced them and how many were the size and type of job you want, so you can tell whether search is bringing better work or just more email.
The point an enquiry becomes a job. We track how many convert and where the others fall away, then fix the step that is losing them, whether that is the page they landed on, the message or what happens after they get in touch.
The only number that settles the argument. We tie the work back to what it brought in, so the decision to keep going is one you can make from a figure rather than a feeling.
Yes. We already run search for firms working across Leeds, including Jack Lunn, Bond Brickwork, RB Electrical and Standeven Flooring. We are half an hour from the city centre, which is close enough to be on a Leeds site in the morning and still get the work done.
Three things, in this order. Fix what is holding the site back technically, so Google and the AI crawlers can read every page properly. Build the pages that answer what people are actually searching for, in the words they use. Then earn the mentions and citations that tell both Google and an answer engine that you are the real thing.
You get told what was done and what it moved. If a month was mostly groundwork with nothing visible yet, we say that rather than dressing it up.
It matters now. People increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overview for a recommendation instead of scrolling a list of ten blue links, and the answer comes back as a shortlist of two or three names. If you are not one of them, you are not in the running, and you will never see it in your rankings report.
We test this properly. We ask the models the questions your buyers would ask and record who gets named and which sources get cited, then work on being one of them. Nobody can guarantee an AI will name you, and anyone who promises it is guessing. What we can do is make you the easiest firm in your category to find, understand and repeat.
Yes, and it is worth being honest about it. Leeds has more competitors per search term than anywhere else in the county, a lot of them with budgets and agencies behind them, and the city sits inside a ring of towns whose searchers all behave slightly differently.
That changes the plan rather than the odds. Chasing the single biggest search term in Leeds is usually the expensive route to nothing. Owning the specific searches your actual buyers type, and the questions they ask an AI, is the route that pays.
Often not. Most sites can be fixed rather than replaced, and we will tell you which yours is before you spend anything. When a rebuild genuinely is the cheapest way forward, we build it, and we build it fast, because site speed is one of the few things that is both a ranking input and a direct cause of people leaving.
David, who runs Halizona, is on it from the first call and stays on it. Our own team shoots the photography, video and drone work, so a Leeds site visit is a normal Tuesday rather than a line on an invoice. Nothing gets passed to a stranger in another building.
Technical fixes can show inside weeks. Rankings on competitive Leeds terms usually take a few months before the trend is clear, then keep building. AI visibility can move faster than either, because far fewer firms are working on it.
We tell you at the start which of your goals is the quick one and which needs patience, rather than promising all of it at once.
It depends what the site needs, which is why we start with a free audit and a conversation rather than a price list. You get told where the biggest gap is and what it would take to close it, and you are free to take that away and do it yourself.
Leeds and the whole ring of towns around it. We are half an hour from the city, so a site visit, a shoot or a face to face meeting is routine rather than an expense line.
Tell us what you do and who you want to reach in Leeds. We will look at where you stand on Google, ask the AI models what they say about your category, and tell you honestly what the biggest gap is. No pitch, no obligation, and the audit is yours either way.
