01 — Sound familiar?

Rankings are a means to an end. We measure SEO by the enquiries, calls and sales it brings in. The work starts by fixing what is holding your site back, then builds pages and local signals around the searches closest to a purchase.

SEO works well alongside your website, content and paid campaigns, which is why we plan it as part of your wider marketing rather than as a separate task.

  1. Competitors rank and you don't

    You search for what you sell and find businesses you know are no better than you.

  2. You've paid for SEO before

    Monthly reports full of rankings for words nobody searches, and no new enquiries to show for it.

  3. Traffic is up, sales aren't

    Visits grew after a blog push, but they're the wrong visitors, looking for free advice rather than a supplier.

07 — FAQ

SEO is a monthly retainer, after a one-off audit, starting from £2,500 a month (CAD $3,000 a month). The final price depends on how competitive your market is and how much content is needed. Final cost is confirmed in your proposal after a discovery call.

Technical and local fixes can show results within weeks. Competitive rankings usually take several months.

No. Anyone who promises rankings is making a claim they can't control. We commit to the work, the reporting and the goals we agree together.

Not always. A sound site can be improved. We recommend a rebuild only when the current site is holding results back.

They overlap. SEO targets Google's results, while AI search optimisation targets tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. Much of the groundwork benefits both.

Usually, because search is where buyers look. It's the largest digital ad channel in the UK, worth £17.9 billion in 2025, and search advertising in Canada was worth $7.96 billion (CAD) in 2024. Organic rankings bring the same buyers without a cost per click, though they take months to build.
