SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the art of optimising and growing your website so that it appears at the top of the search engine rankings, helping to deliver a greater quantity and quality of website traffic.
Internet users are in a rush. They put a question into Google such as "hairdresser near me" and they want to find the answer as quickly as possible. Similarly, Google wants to return the best results. Because of this, you need to be on page one of Google, as high up the page as possible with relevant, succinct content. The good news is it'll cost you much less than a sales person!
The internet is an ever-increasingly competitive place with online business more prevalent than ever, and because of this you need to be at the top of page one in the rankings.
Google have a huge market share in the search engine space. If you want to sell your products or services online then ranking high on Google's results pages is an essential part of your marketing and sales strategy.
According to industry experts Hubspot, 60% of marketers say that inbound (SEO, blog content, etc) is their highest quality source of leads!

Following a process is key to delivering results time after time. Here is a brief overview of our process:
Initial exchanges with our team to learn about your targets and goals in mind when it comes to requesting the assistance of an SEO service.
The discovery phase is key to gage the essential details before we carry out the next steps. We are keen to hear from you about your website, the service you provide and your target audience. It is also helpful to relay to our team whether you have any previous experience of SEO, either personally or through a prior agency.
We perform a site-wide audit on your website and put together a tailored SEO proposal with initial plans included.
Once we have confirmed your viability to be the recipient of an SEO service, our team will execute a site-wide audit covering each critical SEO aspect (technical/on-page/off-page) which helps evaluate the current position of your website and where gains can be made. Initial plans and suggestions are included in our tailored proposal so you can get an idea of what you will be receiving in order to transform your organic returns.
Agree the final components and both sides sign a set agreement for the upcoming retainer.
Once a monthly price has been agreed between both parties we will sit down with you and go through our finalised SEO campaign plan. This will contain a rough guide on how we see it panning out across each month/quarter, our methodical strategies to reach these goals and when you can expect to see a substantial transformation in results. We will request access to your website and any other platforms such as a Google My Business listing, Google Search Console.
We create new content pages where required and optimise your existing pages to provide you with the key ingredients for SEO success.
All constructs of an SEO campaign will contribute to providing the best chance for your content to thrive on the SERPs. We carry out thorough keyword research to ensure the content on your website is targeting the most lucrative and realistic search terms which will result in an increase in leads and business.
Once the technical and service page content groundwork is completed, we move onto the other central pillars of an SEO campaign to consistently shine a light on your website.
We research the best informational content in your niche that not only provides helpful content to users but is favourable in the eyes of the search engines to bring in more relevant traffic and attract links organically. Our team will build links via manual outreach to websites either in the same industry as yours or in your geographical area. Both will help increase your domain and page authority.
You can look forward to and expect a month by month review of the tasks completed and results from Search Console.
We like to keep our clients fully in the loop and aware of what their SEO budget is going towards. At the end of every month we will construct a summary review of the individual completed tasks and a deep dive in the results using data from your Google Search Console. We always communicate with you any plans for big changes so you're fully onboard with the direction of travel.

As part of our web design services for Horace Fuller, we also incorporated a search engine optimisation package to promote their website. Here are some of the results we achieved over the first 9 months:
Following the launch of their new website, At Home were keen to explore how they could increase their exposure in their local area. Their team had strong content writing abilities, so they were keen for a ‘Done with you’ SEO strategy.
Our team put together the step by step instructions to create carefully curated location specific landing pages to help bump At Home up the Google rankings for a range of different villages that they serve.
The result? These location-specific landing pages such as ‘Estate Agent Southwater’ now rank in position one for a very high intent keyword that delivers significant search traffic. Importantly, due to a well-implemented internal linking strategy, the home page also ranks in position two, meaning the client occupies the two top positions, despite very strong opposition from rival agencies.
Whilst the client was happy with their pre-existing website built elsewhere, they contacted our team of digital strategists to help devise a DIY strategy document. Our team took the time to identify the most pertinent keywords, taking into consideration the business objectives, search volume and keyword difficulty.
As Restaurant Property were industry leaders in their niche, their wealth of knowledge provided great opportunities for organic backlinks by providing very factual and in-depth blogs providing industry insight.
The first blog their team wrote, focusing on the keyword ‘Sui Generis’ , delivered such high quality information that the article is now being used as a referenced source for large websites such as Wikipedia. The end result? The blog is now ranking as a ‘Featured Snippet’ for keyword related searches, helping to improve website traffic by over 25% with relevant visitors.
The About Mortgages team were keen to explore the ways they could make the most of the Concrete5 website we had previously built them. Through a 'DIY SEO' plan, their team of content writers have been following a keyword strategy that is starting to pay dividends in terms of organic traffic.
As a relatively new site, the keyword strategy had to be realistic to their budget constraints and low authority score. Longtail keyword phrases with high relevancy were chosen as the primary target, helping to inform the content team which service pages and blogs they should be focusing upon. For example, the blog about mortgages in principle is ranking for 38 related, relevant keywords.
No, before we offer our SEO service to you, we will look at your business and assess whether SEO is right for you by assessing a range of factors such keywords, potential traffic and cost. Only if we see a good return on investment will be give you an SEO proposal.
