Work with our co-founders directly

SEO Consultants

If you're looking for a UK SEO consultant (we're in Stoke-on-Trent) with a wealth of knowledge in multiple sectors, you're welcome to work directly with our co-founders - David and Bethany.

Your 'go to' SEO consultants

For new SEO projects and for those looking to solve an SEO problem

SEO consultancy is a highly valuable service when starting a new project to ensure that everything is optimised from the get-go. Helping you draw-out your website architecture, internal links and keyword clusters for maximum effect, consultancy for a new project can save a LOT of time and effort later down the line and avoid costly re-works of content and website features.

For existing websites with a loss in performance or for in-house teams that are struggling to make gains our consultancy services can remove barriers, fill any gaps in knowledge and help to get campaigns moving in the right direction.

Technical SEO consultants

Working with your in-house teams or external developers

Most developers (but not all!), I'm sorry to say, don't really care about SEO - most have a simple 'if it works, it works' mindset and unfortunately often don't think about indexability, crawlability and technical nuances that can make a SEO campaign truly work.

If you're happy with your existing developers - we offer direct communication, often providing copy-and-paste code snippets, patches and code recommendations. Through this process, we also educate your internal teams so that everyone pulls in the same direction.

If it's time to move on from your existing developers - we can handle the migration away, and handle the project ourselves or work closely with one of our development partners if the project is not part of our in-house development stack.

Common Reasons to Work Directly with an SEO Consultant

Whether your working with a consultant for the first time, or looking for a fresh set of eyes on your project, here's a quick recap of why consultancy services might be right for you:

Bridges Gaps in Knowledge

Internal marketing teams often have gaps in knowledge that can be shortened when working with an external consultant.

A Voice of Authority

Internal teams can often have split decisions, an external SEO consultant can offer a voice of authority and cast a deciding vote.

High Value Advice

It can be more cost effective to get internal teams working on campaign roll-out with the guidance of an SEO consultant than it is to hire a full-time SEO.

Maximise Internal Teams Time

Guiding your internal teams down the right path helps to maximise their time and SEO output for faster results with less overall cost.

Always a Second Opinion

If your team is small, having a consultant on standby to give a expert second opinion can help your business make decisions quicker.

Two-way Education

By learning about your business, SEO consultants can uncover SEO opportunities and long-tail keywords that would have not otherwise been explored and help you win them.

Why Choose Us as Your SEO Consultants?

We have a wealth of experience in SEO gained from working at a multi-discipline digital marketing agencies, the UK's biggest SEO Link Building agencies and through our own consultancy.

B2B

Services & Wholesale Experience

As an experienced SEO consultant, we have years of experience working with a wide range of B2B and wholesale businesses. Our expertise in SEO has allowed us to develop tailored and effective strategies to drive results.

Over the years, we learned about the challenges of separating domestic/B2C searches against B2B keywords and that high-volume keywords whilst impressive may not convert as well as easier-to-win long-tail keywords. Using this simple approach, we started to train clients on how to identify keyword opportunities and build content-calendars (or roadmaps) to deploy their own SEO campaigns - here our SEO consultancy started.

Since these early days, we've advised dozens of UK-based large manufacturing and engineering companies on SEO - some of which have been based locally to us in Stoke-on-Trent.

B2C

Ecommerce Experience

In addition to B2B clients, we also provide SEO consultancy to B2C and ecommerce businesses. In 2017, we started to get exposure to ecommerce SEO and worked closely with developers to deploy technical optimisations that are generally more in-depth and detailed when product and category pages are involved - especially with faceted searches and multi-lingual stores. As we worked with more developers and in-house content writers, we started to bridge a gap between clients and in-house teams and form strategies and provide consultancy to keep everyone moving in the same direction.

We currently support a leading designer online bridal store with their SEO campaign on a regular basis while providing guidance and training for their talented in-house marketing team.
