Our view

Rankings are easy to promise. Revenue is harder.

Plenty of SEO reports look great and change nothing. Traffic goes up for keywords nobody buys from, the monthly report gets longer, and the phone doesn't ring any more than it did before.

As an SEO agency, we start the other way round. Which searches bring in customers, and what would it take to win them? That might be fixing a technical problem holding the whole site back. It might be rebuilding category pages so they deserve to rank. It might be writing the guide your competitors haven't bothered to.

Every account gets senior SEO consultancy from Darren, who has spent more than 15 years in organic search, starting at one of Europe's largest digital marketing agencies. His strategies have generated millions of pounds in client revenue, and the brands he has worked with include TP Toys, Beaumont Wealth and First Tunnels.

And because search no longer ends with ten blue links, everything we do is built to work in AI Overviews and AI assistants too. More on that on our AI SEO agency page.

FAQs

Questions our SEO agency gets asked.

Darren Graham

Led by Darren GrahamCo-founder and Organic Search Director. 15+ years in SEO.

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes and improvements to existing pages can move things within weeks. New content and competitive keywords usually take three to six months to build properly, and the gains keep compounding after that. In our case studies, one wealth management client had 70% of its target keywords on page one within four months; an automotive client grew organic enquiries by 54% in six.

Do you guarantee first-page rankings?

No, and you should be wary of any SEO company that does. Nobody controls Google's results. What we can promise is a clear plan, honest reporting and work focused on the keywords that bring in business.

How much do your SEO services cost?

It depends on the size of your site, how competitive your market is and how much of the work we do versus your own team. After the test drive you'll get a clear monthly price and a breakdown of exactly what's included, so there are no surprises.

How does SEO relate to AI search and GEO?

Closely. AI assistants and Google's AI Overviews lean heavily on pages that already rank well and on sources that are trusted and widely referenced. Strong SEO is the foundation for being cited by AI. Our AI SEO services build on it with prompt tracking and content shaped for AI answers.

Do you write the content?

We plan it, and we can write it or brief your team, whichever suits you. Every piece starts from what your buyers are searching for and what's needed to outrank the pages already there.

Can you help with a website migration or redesign?

Yes. Migrations are where businesses most often lose rankings overnight. We map redirects, protect the pages that bring in traffic and check everything before and after launch.

How do you choose which keywords to target?

By commercial value first. Where we also run your paid search, we already know which searches turn into customers, so the SEO plan goes after those. Where we don't, we use search data, competitor analysis and your own sales data to rank the opportunities.
