Our process
If you should decide to work with us. We aim to fix all main technical SEO issues first, but some issues can re-occur.  So we constantly monitor sites for issues.  Then we look at your keywords.

Good Keyword Research

Before we can truly optimise your website, we need to understand your audience. That means understanding the searcher. We investigate which words and phrases are likely to drive the most valuable traffic to your website.

We monitor all aspects of search, whether that be from search engines like Google or Bing or the search box on your own website. This reveals a lot of useful information about searcher intent.

Using that information, we then help you build content that interests your target audience.

We will guide you to write blog articles, and create useful, helpful documents that will increase the visibility of your site and attract the right kind of visitors who are actively searching for your goods and services.

On-page SEO is basically the review and optimisation of content on the pages of a website.  Most web pages contain a combination of static (non-changing), category, product/service and blog pages.

We methodically work through your pages to ensure they are as well optimised for the right words and phrases that will attract visitors to your website.

Our policy is to never optimise on gut instinct.  We always use aggregated data to help us deliver the very SEO reports which will help guide you in the creation of more engaging and relevant content.

Yes, “Content is king”. It’s a cliche but it’s true.

Blog content serves two purposes:

1. It engages and informs your users. Google looks for engagement signals when deciding how to rank your site.
2. Topical relevance can not be achieved in today’s search results without demonstrating that you are an industry expert. Blog content helps you to showcase your work and share your industry knowledge.

Users engage the most with content that speaks to their interests.  If you don’t offer your users the best website experience, you risk them finding it elsewhere. 

It’s that simple.  Creating relevant articles on your website helps you to rank for a range of terms and demonstrate to AI engines that you are an expert in your field.

We help to ensure that the content on your pages says enough about who you are, what you do and more importantly, how you can help your audience.

We never spend money on black hat link building. Low-quality links will actually harm the reputation and trust of your website.

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) or AEO – Answer Engine Optimisation is the process of optimising content for AI-driven search results, such as Google’s AI Overviews and ChatGPT-style engines.

Unlike traditional SEO, GEO focuses on creating clear, authoritative, and human-centred content that AI models can easily interpret and summarise. It involves structured data, factual accuracy, natural language, and topical depth to ensure your brand appears prominently when AI tools generate answers.

AI isn’t replacing SEO; It’s transforming it. While AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews change how users find information, SEO remains essential for visibility and credibility.

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) / AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation), builds on SEO by helping content perform well in AI-driven results. Businesses that blend strong SEO foundations with GEO strategies can stay competitive, ensuring their content is both discoverable and trusted across both traditional and AI-powered search.

Most UK SEO companies will charge a monthly fee (retainer).

If you are serious about improving your website visibility in 2025/26, you’ll need to have a budget of at least:
£300 per month – £2000 per month for SMEs.

Our prices begin at around that point, with additional services available, depending on your needs and budget.

We are NOT the cheapest SEO company, nor are we the most expensive.  We strongly advise you not to choose an SEO provider based on price.
