Let's talk about your website and search performance
If you want a clearer view of how your website and search activity are performing, we offer a light website audit highlighting issues, opportunities, and practical next steps.
Got questions? We've got answers.
Everything you need to know about working with us: pricing, timelines, and what makes us different.
Our SEO services start from £1,000 per month. For most businesses, SEO delivers the highest long-term ROI of any marketing channel because the results compound, unlike paid ads that stop the moment you stop paying. We also offer a 100-day money-back guarantee, so there's zero risk. Whether you're a local tradesperson or a growing e-commerce brand, we tailor the investment to your goals and competition level.
Three things. First, you work directly with experienced specialists, not junior account managers. Mike leads every client relationship personally. Second, we tie every metric to business outcomes (leads, revenue, growth), not vanity numbers like impressions or traffic for traffic's sake. Third, our 100-day money-back guarantee means we have to deliver results, or you don't pay.
Honest answer: 3-6 months for meaningful improvements, 6-12 months for significant results. Anyone promising page-one rankings in 30 days is either lying or using tactics that will get you penalised. SEO is a long-term investment that compounds over time. Our client Summit Mentality overtook competitors who'd been online for 10-20 years. The earlier you start, the sooner results arrive.
It depends on your current site. If it's reasonably fast, mobile-friendly, and functional, we can often improve it significantly through SEO, content, and conversion optimisation without a full rebuild. But if it's slow, outdated, or built on unreliable technology, a new website is often the better investment. We'll always give you an honest assessment. Our free website audit shows you exactly where you stand.
You'll receive a light review of your website covering: technical SEO health (speed, mobile experience, crawlability), on-page optimisation gaps, content and keyword opportunities, and specific recommendations prioritised by impact. It's genuinely useful, completely free, and comes with zero pressure or obligation. Most clients tell us it's the most honest feedback they've ever received about their website.
Absolutely. We create dedicated, SEO-optimised location pages for each area you serve, including Chelmsford, Colchester, Southend, Basildon, Brentwood, Braintree, and beyond. Each page targets the specific search patterns for that area with unique, locally-relevant content. Combined with Google Business Profile optimisation and local citation building, this helps you dominate local search results across Essex.
We offer a 100-day money-back guarantee on our SEO services. If you're not satisfied within the first 100 days, you get a full refund, no questions asked. Beyond that, we don't lock you into long-term contracts. We keep clients by delivering results, not by trapping them in agreements. Our average client retention speaks for itself.
