Why hire an SEO agency?

Hiring an SEO company gives you specialists in technical fixes, content and reporting without recruiting each role in-house. A good agency finds what is holding your site back, prioritises the changes with the biggest impact and keeps adapting as search changes, including the shift towards AI answers from tools like ChatGPT.

How much does SEO cost?

It depends on the size of your site, how competitive your market is and how much content you need. We quote after reviewing your site, so the price reflects the work it actually needs. SEO is usually run as a monthly retainer, because rankings build over time rather than in one project.

How long does SEO take to see results?

Most sites see early movement within three to six months, with bigger gains building from there. Technical fixes can show results sooner, while competitive terms take longer. We report every month, so you can see which pages and keywords are moving rather than waiting until the end to judge progress.

How do you choose an SEO agency?

Whether you pick a local firm or a national UK SEO agency, look for a clear process, reporting on enquiries and sales rather than rankings alone, and a plan for both fixes and content. Ask who will run your account day to day, and avoid anyone who guarantees first place in Google.

What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO helps your pages rank in search results. AEO, or answer engine optimisation, helps your brand get quoted in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. Both rely on the same foundations, which is why we plan them together rather than as separate projects.

How Our SEO Service Works

Every project starts with an audit of your site's technical health, content and current rankings, plus a look at where competitors are winning. We then research the keywords your customers use, map them to the right pages and agree a roadmap with you, so you know what we will fix first and why.

Research first. Then action.

Then the work begins: technical fixes, stronger pages and new content that answers the questions buyers ask Google and AI tools. SEO builds over months rather than weeks, so we track progress every month and adjust the plan as the data comes in.

Steady progress. Honest data.

SEO Built for AI Search

Search is changing. More buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews before clicking a link, and those tools lean on sources they trust. Answer engine optimisation (AEO) helps make your brand one of them, with clear answers, structured data and consistent facts.

Rank in Google. Appear in AI.

Strong SEO and AEO share the same foundations: a fast, crawlable site, content that answers real questions and a brand other sites mention. We build those foundations once and measure the results in both places, rather than running two separate projects.

Same foundations. Wider reach.
