What is SEO?

SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the art of optimising and growing your website so that it appears at the top of the search engine rankings, helping to deliver a greater quantity and quality of website traffic.

Internet users are in a rush. They put a question into Google such as "hairdresser near me" and they want to find the answer as quickly as possible. Similarly, Google wants to return the best results. Because of this, you need to be on page one of Google, as high up the page as possible with relevant, succinct content.

The good news is it'll cost you much less than a sales person!

Why do you need an SEO agency?

The internet is an ever-increasingly competitive place with online business more prevalent than ever, and because of this you need to be at the top of page one in the rankings.

Case Study: Horace Fuller

As part of our web design services for Horace Fuller, we also incorporated a search engine optimisation package to promote their website.  Here are some of the results we achieved over the first 9 months:

• Local SEO - Local outreach numbers have grown by over 2,500% since the campaign began. They are in the top 3 rankings for popular niche-relevant keywords such as 'garden machinery supplier Horsham' and 'lawnmower servicing Horsham'. Google My Business star rating increased from 3.9 to 4.2. 
• National SEO - Horace Fuller is now ranking for over 600 business related keywords within the UK, a 150% increase. Page 1 in the UK for many keywords including 'Westwood Mowers' 'Weibang lawn mowers' 'Ariens' 'Garden machinery servicing' ‘Garden Machinery repairs’ ‘Garden machinery west sussex’. 

Case Study: Restaurant Property

Whilst the client was happy with their pre-existing website built elsewhere, they contacted our team of digital strategists to help devise a DIY strategy document. Our team took the time to identify the most pertinent keywords, taking into consideration the business objectives, search volume and keyword difficulty. 

As Restaurant Property were industry leaders in their niche, their wealth of knowledge provided great opportunities for organic backlinks by providing very factual and in-depth blogs providing industry insight. 

The first blog their team wrote, focusing on the keyword ‘Sui Generis’ , delivered such high quality information that the article is now being used as a referenced source for large websites such as Wikipedia. The end result? The blog is now ranking as a ‘Featured Snippet’ for keyword related searches, helping to improve website traffic by over 25% with relevant visitors. 

Case Study: At Home Estate and Lettings Agency

Following the launch of their new website, At Home were keen to explore how they could increase their exposure in their local area. Their team had strong content writing abilities, so they were keen for a ‘Done with you’ SEO strategy.

Our team put together the step by step instructions to create carefully curated location specific landing pages to help bump At Home up the Google rankings for a range of different villages that they serve. 

The result? These location-specific landing pages such as ‘Estate Agent Southwater’ now rank in position one for a very high intent keyword that delivers significant search traffic. Importantly, due to a well-implemented internal linking strategy, the home page also ranks in position two, meaning the client occupies the two top positions, despite very strong opposition from rival agencies.
