What SEO Includes
SEO is the ongoing work that grows a website’s visibility in organic and AI search, across technical health, content, authority, and local presence, so the right people find and choose the business. Strong SEO aligns the three things search rewards: relevance to the query, authority that earns trust, and content structured so AI engines quote it.
Through 2026, search spans two surfaces at once: the classic ten blue links and the AI answer that sits above them. SEO now earns visibility in both, or it leaves traffic on the table. See our SEO services.
Why Your Site Is Not Ranking
Most sites miss the top of search for a handful of fixable reasons. In 2026, ranking means earning visibility in classic results and AI answers, and most sites are built for neither. The six issues below name the fix for each.
Thin, unfocused content
Pages with no topical authority never earn trust on a subject. A topical map and entity-led content turn the site into the definitive source.
Technical issues block crawling
Crawl and indexation errors keep pages out of the index entirely. A technical fix opens the whole site to search engines.
Weak or toxic backlinks
A thin or spammy link profile drags authority down. Relevant, earned links and a clean-up rebuild it.
No local presence
A missing or thin Google Business Profile hides you from nearby buyers. A complete local setup puts you in the map pack.
Content AI engines ignore
Unstructured pages give AI engines nothing to quote. Modular answer blocks and clean schema earn the citation.
Chasing vanity keywords
High-volume terms with no buying intent burn budget and return nothing. Revenue-first research targets terms that convert.
Our SEO Services
On-page and topical authority
We build entity-led content on a Koray-style topical map, with internal linking that signals depth on your subject. Topical authority turns a site into the source Google and AI engines prefer.
↳ rankings across a whole topic, not one keyword.
Technical SEO
We fix crawl, indexation, site speed, and Core Web Vitals so search engines reach and rank every important page. A healthy foundation makes every other effort count.
↳ a site search engines trust and index in full.
Link building and digital PR
We earn relevant, editorial links and coverage from sites that pass real authority, never spam or PBNs. Quality links remain one of the strongest ranking signals in search.
↳ higher authority and stronger positions.
Local SEO
We optimise your Google Business Profile, reviews, and citations so nearby customers find you in the map pack and Maps. Local visibility turns "near me" searches into calls and visits.
↳ more local enquiries at the moment of intent.
Ecommerce SEO
We optimise category, product, and faceted pages so online stores rank for terms that sell. Ecommerce SEO ties rankings to revenue, not just sessions.
↳ more organic sales from high-intent search.
National SEO
We grow organic reach across the whole UK for brands that sell beyond one town. National SEO competes on authority and topical depth at scale.
↳ visibility wherever your customers search.
AI search (GEO)
We structure entities, schema, and answer blocks so AI engines quote your brand in their answers. AI search is where a growing share of discovery now happens.
↳ your brand cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews.

SEO Built for Google and AI Search
Search now happens in two places at once: classic Google results and AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Most agencies bolt AI search on as an afterthought. Our SEO is GEO-native, with entity-rich content, structured data, modular answer blocks, and the E-E-A-T signals AI engines quote, built into the work from the first sprint rather than added at the end. The result is simple: your brand gets found and cited whether the customer searches Google or asks an assistant for a recommendation.

Our SEO Process, Step by Step
Six stages take your site from a free audit to compounding organic growth. AI-accelerated research and production speed the groundwork, and a person makes every strategic call. Reporting tracks revenue, not vanity rankings.
- 01
Free SEO audit
We review technical health, content, backlinks, and AI-search visibility, then name the priorities. You leave with a clear baseline and the quick wins worth doing first.
- 02
Keyword and entity research
We build a topical map of the entities and queries your buyers use, scored by intent and revenue. The map sets the whole content plan, so effort points at terms that convert.
- 03
Technical fixes
We clear crawl, indexation, speed, and Core Web Vitals issues that hold the site back. A clean foundation lets content and links do their job.
- 04
Content production
We produce entity-led content across the topical map, structured for both readers and AI engines. Each page strengthens the site’s authority on the subject.
- 05
Authority and link building
We earn relevant links and digital PR that raise the site’s standing. Authority turns good content into ranked content.
- 06
Measurement and iteration
We report on traffic, leads, and revenue, then refine the plan around what works. Each month builds on the last, honestly and transparently.

Honest first: anyone guaranteeing number-one rankings is a red flag, because no agency controls Google. SEO is an ongoing retainer that compounds over months, not a one-off cost. The tiers below are indicative, with the final scope set after a free audit.
Starter / Local
from £500/mo
Foundations and a single focus. Right for a local business or a site starting SEO, covering technical basics, core content, and local setup.
Growth
from £900/mo
Technical, content, and links across a national campaign. The popular choice for businesses competing seriously in organic search.
Scale / Ecommerce
from £1,800/mo
Competitive markets and large sites. Deeper content, authority building, and ecommerce or multi-template optimisation at scale.
Retainers run rolling monthly with no lock-in, and no agency guarantees rankings. You own your content, data, and reporting throughout. Final scope and price follow a free audit, once we have seen your market and your site.

SEO vs PPC, and Agency vs Freelancer vs In-House
SEO
Organic visibility that compounds. Slower to start, then steady traffic that keeps returning without paying per click. Right for long-term growth and trust.
PPC
Paid visibility that switches on instantly. Fast and controllable, but the traffic stops the moment the budget does. Right for speed and testing.
Most businesses run both: PPC for immediate enquiries while SEO builds the compounding base beneath it. We run paid search under the same roof, so the two pull together instead of competing. Explore our Google Ads management.
Beyond the organic-versus-paid question sits the build-versus-hire one. Three routes exist to deliver SEO, and the right one depends on your scale, budget, and how much you want handled for you.
| Factor | Agency | Freelancer | In-house |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | One monthly retainer for a full team | Low monthly fee for one person | High: salaries, tools, and training |
| Breadth of skills | Technical, content, links, and AI search in one team | Strong in one area, thin in others | Broad only if you hire several specialists |
| Consistency | A team covers holidays and absence | One person, one point of failure | Steady while the roles stay filled |
| Tools and data | Enterprise tools included, you own the data | Varies with the individual | You buy and run every tool yourself |
| Scalability | Scales up or down with your goals | Capped by one person’s hours | Slow: more output means more hires |

The honest verdict
A freelancer suits light needs and a tight budget. An in-house team suits large brands with the volume to employ specialists. An agency suits businesses that want technical, content, and authority handled together without hiring, which is where our integrated model fits. When an agency is not the right answer for your stage, we say so.

Real SEO Results
Problem
Our own site competed in a crowded agency market with thin topical coverage, a handful of unfocused pages, and little presence in AI answers. Rankings sat outside the first page for the terms that mattered.
Solution
We applied our own method: a full topical map, entity-led content across each silo, technical fixes, earned links, and structured data built for both Google and AI engines.
Outcome
Organic visibility climbed across the mapped topics, qualified enquiries from search grew, and AI assistants began naming the brand for relevant queries. The work compounds month on month.

SEO FAQs
How much does SEO cost in the UK?
UK SEO retainers typically run from around £500 per month for local or starter work to £1,800 and above for competitive markets and large sites. Price depends on your goals, competition, and the scope of technical, content, and link work. We confirm the figure after a free audit, on rolling monthly terms with no lock-in.
How long does SEO take?
Early movement often shows within a few months, while strong, durable rankings build over six to twelve. SEO compounds, so the longer the foundations run, the harder they are for competitors to dislodge. Anyone promising page one in weeks is selling a result no agency controls.
What is included in an SEO retainer?
A retainer covers a mix of technical fixes, keyword and entity research, content production, link building, and monthly reporting. The exact balance follows your audit and goals. You see what each month delivers and how it ties back to traffic, leads, and revenue.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No, and anyone who does is a red flag. No agency controls Google’s algorithm. We commit to the work that earns rankings, technical health, content, authority, and AI-search optimisation, then report progress honestly rather than promising a position no one controls.
What is the difference between SEO and PPC?
SEO earns organic visibility that compounds and keeps returning traffic without paying per click. PPC buys instant placement that stops the moment the budget does. Most businesses run both, using PPC for speed while SEO builds the lasting base beneath it.
What is AI search optimisation (GEO)?
In 2026, customers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews for recommendations, and those engines name specific brands. GEO structures your entities, schema, and content so AI engines quote you, not just your competitors. We build it into the SEO work rather than bolting it on.
Do I own my content and data?
Yes. Your pages, links, reporting, and accounts stay yours throughout. There is no lock-in and no hostage data. If you leave, you keep everything you paid for, including the content and the topical authority it earned.
Can I do SEO myself or do I need an agency?
A confident owner with time runs the basics well enough. Technical depth, a topical-authority content plan, link building, and AI-search work are where an agency earns its fee. When a lighter approach is all you need, we say so honestly.
