Creating useful, unique and quality content is paramount to any SEO campaign. Sure, on-page optimisations and tech work contribute to performance, but good content is what Google needs to see in order to rank your site highly. At our SEO agency, we have a big team of content and copywriting experts that follow tried-and-tested methods for crafting quality content. We write what your audience wants to see. We don’t keyword stuff or simply regurgitate what your competitors are saying, we work with you to create industry-leading pages and blogs.

According to Sistrix, around 64% of all searches are made on mobile devices such as phones and tablets. With three out of five people tapping rather than typing into Google, investing in mobile SEO is an absolute must. Almost every industry should think of their internet presence as mobile-first, meaning that everything you do, and every investment you make, should be geared toward making your site run on mobile well first, before you even think about the desktop. This is especially true if you’re in an industry like the Food & Drink sector.

Attention spans are the lowest they’ve ever been and if users land on your site and find that JavaScript or CSS is being blocked, images are slow to load, and the pages weren’t optimised for the device they are on, they’ll simply go elsewhere.

All these little steps need to be resolved if your mobile SEO is to be the best it can be. Once it is, your site will be nothing but a joy for people to visit, meaning they’ll come back time and time again.

Making all the visual elements of your website the best they can be can drastically improve rankings and visibility. Known as On-Page SEO, this type of service is about getting all the elements of a page that a user can see to be as optimised as possible. On-Page SEO includes considering multiple ranking factors like URLs, heading tags, images, heading tags, alt-text, and metadata.

Working on the front end optimisation has become so important in the last few years as Google’s algorithm has become more nuanced and intelligent. It’s judging how presentable and optimised your site is for the user to the same degree it’s looking at your schema markup and URL structure. The proper on-page investment will aid search engines and users in their quest to understand the context of your website.

More and more, Google is aligning its ranking factors to the factors that make a user want to click on your site.

Loosely related to local SEO, small business search engine optimisation refers to how those new companies make themselves known online. Often with a small investment or available funds, small business SEO is all about maximising budgets and ensuring optimum ROI. While some small businesses shy away from investing resources in search, it should be seen as an opportunity to disrupt the bigger competitors. With so many keywords, small business SEO can be clever and target those lower-value, long-tail keywords that aren’t being covered by rivals.

Startup search engine optimisation can also leverage free tools such as Google My Business and free backlinks from directories or guest blog sites to grow their presence for a cost that is within budget.

In our experience, businesses that have fewer than 50 staff can use clever, in some cases more radical tactics to rank well. Spending time writing long-form content, for example, is just one of the ways that a business can include ontology, earn greater keyword visibility, and steal ranking positions from legacy businesses that have neglected their website. If PPC management is out of your budget, a small business can opt for a basic SEO package to elevate rankings cost-effectively.

You might be surprised to learn that videos can be optimised for SEO, as well as text! That’s right, video SEO is a type of optimisation service, one which can be very effective if you’re a business whose main industry is visual.

From the outset, it’s important to know that there is only so much you can do with video SEO, and it’s not as powerful as ‘regular’ SEO. This is primarily because the video itself – i.e. the visual and audio elements – cannot be altered after it’s been filmed. That’s not to say it can’t be beneficial, the transcripts, descriptions, titles, and tags can all be changed and tweaked so that they are more relevant to the terms you’re looking to target.

From WordPress to Shopify, any eCommerce website looking to grow their online visibility and increase sales needs a reputable eCommerce SEO agency by their side.

Growing sales and appearing in the search engine results pages for transactional keywords takes a lot of SEO effort. Our SEO specialists will suggest new category pages, optimise product pages, ensure the right pages are indexed and produce a user-focussed content strategy to improve keyword reach. Several SEO tactics apply to eCommerce websites. it’s about knowing how to achieve results based on your site’s platform, implementing product schema markup, optimising for mobile browsing and more.

Luckily for you, we’ve got eCommerce SEO consultants that know what they’re doing.

Reach new markets, audiences and sectors by investing in international SEO for your business. Made up of various tactics, international SEO is all about expanding your internet presence beyond your business’s country of origin.

The bulk of the workaround global search engine optimisation is about adding a variety of signals to your site to tell Google that your content is suitable for audiences outside of X country. For instance, a unified URL structure that includes the codes of different countries – ‘de’ for Germany and ‘es’ for Spain, for example – is one of the key ways of expanding your reach. As well as URLs, geo-targeting, and hreflang tags are other techniques that will help you be seen by people across the world.

The benefits of international SEO are fairly obvious. Done right and you open yourself up to a limitless market of billions that flock to your website, bringing you more sales and revenue.

For businesses that want to become the market leader in their local area, optimising for and investing in a local SEO company to help target specific places, towns and cities, is incredibly potent. For example, for an agency like ours, based in the northwest of the UK, we’d always like to rank higher for things like ‘SEO Manchester’, ‘Manchester SEO’, ‘SEO Agency Manchester’ as well as non-local terms like ‘SEO Agency’.

As with international SEO, its ‘local’ sibling is all about structuring a site in such a way that it sends signals to Google’s crawlers to say it wants to be indexed in a particular manner. For local SEO, this would probably involve optimising your Google My Business (GMB) page and building important name, address and phone number citations in websites that are being used by people looking for your services among other things.

Writing and optimising key areas of your site for locally-themed, intent-focused search phrases and terms will help Google to understand just how crucial you are for local searchers.

Also, local SEO can be quite a cost-effective solution as your budgets are focused on just one specific area, not the entire nation.

If local search tactics target your nearby area and international SEO aims to expand your presence globally, it stands to reason that national optimisation techniques are about getting your name out across the country.

Investing in National SEO is ideal for businesses at a certain growth stage who are looking to expand their brand to places beyond their current location. In a granular sense, optimising for national attention is just a scaled-up version of local SEO, where instead of trying to rank for one area, you’re working to be visible across multiple. This type of optimisation also often falls under an Enterprise SEO strategy.

One of the key ways of achieving national SEO success is to create bespoke content for different locations. Having multiple different URLs and pages that target Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and York, for example, would be an example of a national search engine optimisation campaign. Optimising GMB profiles, developing a coherent website architecture, and conducting thorough keyword research are some of the most important elements of national SEO.

To create the most high-performing search engine optimisation campaign, we first run our 159-point SEO audit with each point manually checked. Running concurrently with this audit, we identify keywords and key phrases (along with search volume), and look through Google Analytics data to thoroughly identify the existing and potential search audience.

As well as auditing, keyword research, and competitor analysis, we check search engine results pages for ‘ messy middle’ phrases that serve as inspiration for our content plan.

If good, solid on-site, off-site, and industry research is done, then this creates a great platform for SEO techniques to work better from the off.

We can’t start producing results without understanding your current position, expectations, goals and key issues. Your dedicated account manager and SEO team will set up a kick-off session, designed to establish a thorough understanding of your business. During this session, we’ll find out about your priority services/products, identify your competitors and target audience, and learn more about the history of your site.

The information we collate from our client workshop will then form the basis of our ongoing strategy, making it a crucial step of the overall process.

Remember: This session is just as beneficial to you as it is to us – it’s a chance to set expectations and understand the deliverables of our SEO services.

Perhaps the most exciting step (for both parties!), is the creation of our SEO strategy guides everything we’ll carry out for you each month. We’ll take into account any pages that have lost traffic, pillar pages that need some extra attention, technical fixes, existing content optimisation and brand pages with minimal content. This approach allows us to get the basics boxed off before we move into a creative, user-focused content plan that includes long-form content guides and exciting blogs.

We’re an SEO agency that is thorough and careful when it comes to strategy development, it takes time to create something truly bespoke to your website. We don’t reuse or recycle strategies here. We take the best route for you, handpicking a strategy that guarantees to boost organic performance.

Improving how a website is traversed by Google, how fast it loads, and how understandable each page is in and out of the context of a site menu system, is at the heart of technical SEO, or ‘on-site optimisation’ work. A few HTML or metadata changes on a page template can have a dramatic effect on how Google robots are able to understand what the theme of a web page really is. Multiply this by several hundred pages, and rankings and visitors can soon rise.

Working from our aforementioned audit, our tech SEO team ensure that all online ranking factors are fixed including checking things like broken links, mobile responsiveness, conversion tracking, and local SEO factors, among regular checks for the number of pages indexed, and inbound links.

Your website is the face of your business. It’s where your target audience makes decisions and opinions about who you are and what you offer, which is why we carefully craft content with your brand in mind. We put in a lot of effort to make sure your content is the best it can be, from creating a TOV document to ensuring we are keeping our finger on the pulse of Google updates, such as the Helpful Content Update which launched in 2022 and emphasised the need for content to be written for humans, not just search engines.

Working with your dedicated SEO account manager, our writers will gather keyword research and begin creating intent-driven pieces designed to rank.

All of our writers are trained to write for search engines and humans, meaning their work is top quality without compromise. Our in-house editors work together with the writing team to make each piece of content the best it can be.

We have created first-rate on-page SEO strategies, we love nothing more than to write lots of content, and we harness the power of inbound links, but where we feel that we excel over other digital marketing agencies is in our workflow management and operations.

Whether building citations, creating an outreach strategy, planning for an off-page SEO review, reporting upon a recent uplift in Google rankings, or gaining a new link, we capture every action and record how long it has taken.

This makes our client services so much easier, leaving us more time to work on real digital activity. An informed client is a happy client. And an informed, happy client with improving visitor numbers is a content client.

When collaborating with an SEO agency, you want regular performance updates. That’s where our monthly reports come in handy.

Our highly image-led monthly SEO reports are very easy on the eye, and spend little time in complicated SEO jargon.

Clarity is important to us as a business, and we have never felt the need to over-complicate or inflate our words. You’ll receive an easy-to-read report on your keyword rankings, organic traffic and other key metrics that keep you in the loop of your site’s performance.

It sounds obvious but with it being so integral, it’s certainly worth a mention. Undergoing extensive keyword research is vital if you’re going to create targeted content that ranks for what you want it to rank for.

You wouldn’t believe the number of businesses that write and write and write without thinking about what it is they are targeting. Advanced keyword research allows you to avoid cannibalizing rankings (this is where two pages of the same domain end up competing with each other for the same ranking) and reducing the impact of the pages that you’ve worked so hard to complete.

Keyword research equals better ROI, there’s no greater incentive to do it than that.

Your content could be the wittiest, most engaging piece of work you’ve written but if it doesn’t match the intent of the query it’ll never succeed. Certain keywords you’re looking to target may be driven by a particular type of intent that just doesn’t match what you’re creating.

Be sure to analyse the intent of the first 10 or so results for a keyword, you’ll get a better understanding of how the content is matching the intent.

A car is only as good as the tires it runs on. The same principle applies to a website. If your website isn’t technically optimised then your on-page content isn’t going to perform to the best of its abilities. Providing the best user experience starts with back end optimisation – removing bloated code, reducing image sizes, ensuring your site has breadcrumbs, these three things just scrape the surface of what needs to be done from a backend perspective.

SEO web design is a great opportunity to get these back-end practices in as you’re building them rather than having to put them in after. Doing them as you build them is a great way of ensuring your website’s launch has the fullest possible impact.

SEO is a long game, with so many different pieces of content to index every single second, getting ranked online can take a while. Once you’re indexed, the process of moving through the rankings takes a great deal of time. All the while you should be looking to add fresh content to that page to further enhance its relevancy and potency.

Once your blog, page, or entire site is published, the hardest part is to wait and let it index. You really should wait 3, 4, 5, or even 6 months to check your website’s online visibility, rankings, and traffic.

A primary term is the main phrase you’re looking to rank for when writing a blog or a piece of content. As with many key topics, there are usually 5-10 sub-topics within it, these are what secondary phrases are, the keywords that will help support the performance of the target phrase.
