Are you disappointed that your website doesn’t appear high enough in Google? Are your competitors appearing higher than you? Or, worse still – is your site not showing up in the search results at all? Having an online presence is great, until you realise no one can find you… That’s where SEO and PPC come into play.
SEO (search engine optimisation) is not a magic button or a secret art. By analysing your website and understanding the way search engines work, we can create a series of recommendations to improve your website’s search engine visibility. Often, this could include changes to your existing website copy, fixing some underlying technical issues or creating some great new content.
Sometimes, when the competition in search engines is particularly tough, or you need traffic now, a Google PPC (pay per click) campaign can do the trick, too. In fact, PPC and SEO are extremely effective together. The result: more traffic, more leads and more conversions for your business.
Whether we recommend an organic or paid approach to improving your search engine visibility (or a bit of both), we’ll help you develop the right approach with a range of services.

The digital marketing partner trusted by national and global brands
Performing well in search engines hugely depends on understanding what the searcher is looking for, what stage of their journey they’re at, and how you can be smarter and more relevant than your competitors. So it’s often not a question of ranking #1, but what to rank for to get the best results. We can help with that!
We get to know your audience and the search results relevant to your website, hunt for any technical roadblocks in your website’s code and help you create the content you’ll need to succeed, making sure our recommendations are always in line with all the latest Google algorithm changes.
The team have shared their search marketing wisdom across a range of online publications and spoken at big industry events, like BrightonSEO.
We’re also a certified Google Partner, which means that we are regularly checked when it comes to following best practices and quality guidelines, so you’ll know that you are working with an agency that knows their stuff and has the Google stamp of approval.

Our campaigns usually fall into one of these brackets.

How long does it take for SEO to work?
It’s really important to note that SEO isn’t an overnight fix. It can take months for all your search engine optimisation efforts to start working, and this will depend on a range of factors. For example, it could take longer to start seeing results if you’re in a highly competitive industry or if you’re a brand new business. We often recommend running a PPC campaign alongside your SEO strategy if you’re keen to see immediate results in the search engine.
Can you work with my existing website?
We are happy to work with you on your existing website, and we’ll factor this into our discovery and strategy process. For example, by auditing your existing website, we may recommend new pages to create, new content to include, or a restructure to help improve your SEO.
What’s better – SEO or PPC?
When done well, both search engine optimisation and paid search offer huge improvements to your brand’s discoverability online. However, one doesn’t necessarily work better than the other. SEO is a long-term commitment, whereas PPC can also work well in the short-term, so we often recommend a combination of the two, depending on what your business goals are and how quickly you need to start getting leads.
Should I use search ads or display ads?
Search ads are displayed in search engines and display ads are visual ads that are shown on websites and other placements across the web. Because of this, display is ideal for when you want to build awareness for your brand, while search works particularly well when you’re targeting those who already have some interest in the service or product you offer. During our discovery and strategy stage, we’ll undertake research to determine which types of ads would work best for your marketing goals.
Can you take over my existing PPC campaign?
Yes, we can take over your existing PPC campaign if you’ve already been running ads for your business. This is helpful for us too, because we can see what’s worked for you before and what we can improve on. We’re also happy to help you set up an account if you’ve never run ads before.
