About Us

Two London-based search specialists, one in organic and one in paid. No layers, no hand-offs. Just clear strategy, precise execution, and straight answers.

We keep our names and photos off this site on purpose. Having worked at agencies recently, we prefer to stay low profile and let the work speak. This website exists only as a reference point for businesses we contact directly.

Why we started

After years in agency life, nine hours a day, endless “urgent” meetings, and little recognition, we burnt out watching quality slip as agencies scaled. Then a former client reached out after we had moved on, asking to work with us directly. Contract restrictions meant waiting, so we did. When the time came, we rebuilt their site and core content, structured for search engines and today’s generative results. They have never been happier.

That result sparked another. A past client who had been let down twice, first by a design agency and then by a digital marketing agency, no longer trusted anyone. We offered a quick mock-up first. Three months later, they launched a site exactly as they wanted, shop included, something the previous agency failed to deliver despite it being in the contract. We noticed a pattern. As agencies grow, service quality often dips. We vowed not to repeat it.

What we do

Everything is owner led. If we take it on, we deliver it.

  • Organic Search (SEO)

    Technical audits, entity-driven content, internal linking, and on-page work that aligns with AI summaries and modern SERP features.

  • Paid Search (PPC)

    High-intent campaigns, clean account structure, query sculpting, and rigorous negative lists to protect ROI.

  • Content and UX

    Search-led information architecture, briefs writers can act on, and UX tweaks that turn traffic into leads or sales.

  • Site rebuilds, selectively

    When marketing needs a better foundation, we plan, prototype, and ship fast without bloat.

How we work

Direct access, tight scopes, and confidentiality as default.

  • Direct, not distant: You work with us, the two specialists, not a rotating cast.
  • Tight scopes, clear deliverables: Fewer promises, more proof.
  • One in, one out capacity: We only take what we can execute well.
  • Confidentiality first: NDAs are standard. Your data stays your data.

Selected wins, anonymised

Who we are for

  • Businesses that genuinely care about customers and have the reviews to prove it.
  • Owners and teams who value clarity over noise and results over vanity metrics.
  • Brands proud of what they do and ready to fix what is in the way.

If that is you, we will get on.

What we will not do

  • Lock you into long contracts to “see how it goes”.
  • Pad reports with vanity charts.
  • Outsource your account to juniors while charging senior rates.
  • Over-engineer tech for simple problems.

If we have contacted you

Expect a short call, a quick look at the numbers, and, if there is a clear opportunity, a focused plan. Sometimes we will produce a lightweight mock-up or outline first. If it resonates, we proceed. If not, no hard feelings.

Get in touch

If we have already reached out, reply to that email and we will set a time.

If you found us another way, send a note via the contact form with a line on your goals, your site URL, and whether you are after SEO, PPC, or a site refresh. We will be straight with you either way.

How long until SEO works and when will we see results? +

Short answer: most clients see meaningful, measurable growth in 3–6 months. You’ll usually notice early signals within 4–8 weeks (better indexation, rising impressions, small ranking lifts, more enquiries).

What affects the pace:

  • Your starting point (site health, content depth, backlinks, tracking).
  • Competition in your niche/locations.
  • How fast we can publish quality content and earn links.
  • Technical debt (crawl, speed, Core Web Vitals, UX).
  • Budget and scope.

What the first 6 months look like:

  • Weeks 1–4: Full audit, fix critical technical issues, tracking set-up, quick wins, on-page clean-up, internal linking, schema.
  • Months 2–3: New content goes live, local signals/citations strengthen, authority building starts; rankings and impressions begin to move.
  • Months 3–6: Compounding gains—more page-one entries, steady traffic uplift, and most businesses start to feel the lead/revenue impact.

Disclaimer:

  • No one can guarantee page-one by a date. If they do, walk away.
  • Brand-new domains or highly competitive markets can take longer. Core updates can nudge timelines.

What we commit to:

  • A clear roadmap with weekly/fortnightly updates.
  • Transparent reporting in GA4, GSC and Looker Studio (not vanity metrics).
  • Quality content, safe link acquisition, and ongoing technical optimisation—no gimmicks.

Bottom line: SEO isn’t instant, but if we execute properly, 3–6 months is a realistic window to see meaningful results, with momentum building from there.

Do you lock clients into long-term contracts? +

No. We ask for a 6-month commitment, then it’s rolling month-to-month with 30-day notice. No auto-renewals. No exit fees.

Why 6 months? That’s the minimum to audit, fix technical issues, implement the required amount of content, build authority, and prove ROI. After that, we keep you by results, not contracts.

This is the best arrangement you’ll find in the market and it reflects our confidence in the process. If we’re not delivering, you’re free to walk. Simple.

Is SEO still worth it in 2025? +

Yes if you treat it as Search + Answer + Brand. People still start with Google, but the results page now includes Google AI Overviews and Google’s AI Mode. On top of that, your customers are asking ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity “who’s the best near me?” If you’re not optimised for these answer engines, you’re invisible where decisions are being made.

What changed

  • AI Overviews/AI Mode summarise an answer and cite sources. If you’re not a cited source, you’re not in the consideration set.
  • LLMs recommend brands based on authority, consistency and corroboration across the web, not just on-page keywords.

What works now (our approach)

  • AEO/GEO (Answer/Generative Engine Optimisation): We engineer pages to be citable with clear answers above the fold, verified stats, original assets, and tight information architecture that LLMs can lift from confidently.
  • Entity & brand building: We strengthen your brand entity so Google and LLMs can recognise and choose you, consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone), author E-E-A-T, citations, reviews, PR and high-authority mentions.
  • Structured data done properly: Full schema coverage (Organisation, Services, FAQs, HowTo, Product, Reviews) to feed AI Overviews and knowledge graphs.
  • Content that wins snippets & summaries: Concise Q&A sections, comparisons, pricing pages, location/service pages that are formatted for extraction.
  • Technical SEO that still matters: Crawlability, speed/Core Web Vitals, self-referencing canonical tags, log-file driven internal linking... LLMs still read the same web.
  • Measurement beyond “sessions”: We track AI Overview citations, LLM recall/share of voice, brand mention velocity, zero-click impact, leads and revenue—not vanity rankings.

So… is it worth it?

If you only chase blue links, no. If you optimise for Google + AI Overviews + AI Mode + LLM pickers, absolutely. Organic still compounds and unlike ads, you’re not renting visibility.

Our commitment

  • 6-month commitment, then 30-day rolling (no handcuffs).
  • A clear roadmap focused on getting you cited and selected by Google’s AI surfaces and leading LLMs.
  • Transparent reporting tied to pipeline and revenue.

Bottom line: SEO in 2025 is about being the source AI trusts and the brand AI recommends. That’s what we build.

Can you help with Local SEO? +

Yes. We run Local SEO like a data project, not guesswork.

How we do it

  • Mine your data first: We pull query intelligence from your Google Business Profile (GBP) and historic Google Search Console data (by location). This shows exactly which location-based searches you’re appearing for...and which you’re missing. We use this to map gaps and prioritise what to publish next.
  • Build the right local assets:
    • Unique location + service pages (no doorway fluff): clear offer, proof, map, FAQs, CTAs.
    • GBP optimisation: correct primary/secondary categories, Services, Attributes, Products, Photos, Posts, Q&A.
    • Schema: LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, GeoCoordinates; UTM-tagged GBP links for clean attribution.
  • Trust & authority: Consistent NAP, citation clean-up/build, review acquisition programme (with response playbooks), and local link wins (partners, sponsorships, press).
  • Technical & UX: Fast pages, mobile-first, internal linking to surface local relevance; strong conversion UX (click-to-call, directions, booking).
  • Measurement that matters: Map Pack/share-of-voice, geo-split GSC performance, calls, direction requests and enquiries reported monthly.

Bottom line: We gather query info from your Google Business Profile and past Google Search Console data to identify missing location content and then implement it; properly structured, locally credible, and measurable. Works for single-location and multi-location brands.

Who implements changes? Do you handle dev/CMS? +

Short answer: We do, end to end. If you’ve got an in-house developer or team, we’ll happily work through them. Either way, we insist on full, transparent comms.

How we work

  • Default (we implement): We implement changes straight to your site along with technical fixes, content updates, schema, internal linking and speed/Core Web Vitals. Staging → QA → deploy, with rollback covered.
  • With your dev team: We switch to “spec & support” mode, Jira/Linear-ready tickets, acceptance criteria, code snippets/PRs, and reviews. We’ll align to your process and release periods.
  • CMS/stack coverage: WordPress (Gutenberg/Elementor), Shopify, Webflow, and headless stacks (e.g. Next.js). For custom builds, we contribute PRs or supply components/templates.
  • Access & governance: Least-privilege access, backups, staging-first releases, GTM workspace/approvals, and a clear changelog you can audit.
  • Transparency: One shared channel, clear roadmap, what’s in flight, what’s implemented and the impact.

Bottom line: We handle implementation unless you prefer your devs to. We’re effective both ways, provided we can collaborate directly with your team, keeping you in the loop at all times.

Can you help after a core update or penalty? +

Yes. We’ve worked with clients who came to us under a Google penalty and we’ve addressed the issues and successfully appealed until the penalty was removed. For core update hits, we’ve led full recoveries by fixing the underlying site and content issues. That said, recovery depends on severity and how long the problem has existed. No fairy dust.

What we actually do

  • Triage: Confirm if it’s a manual action (in GSC) or algorithmic impact from a core update.
  • Forensics: Directory/template-level diffing of winners vs losers, log-file and crawl analysis, indexation/canonical checks, internal linking, CWV, entity/intent alignment, content quality (E-E-A-T), and link risk.
  • Remediation plan:
    • Technical: crawl/indexation hygiene, canonical fixes, Core Web Vitals, rendering.
    • Content: consolidate thin/duplicative pages, add original evidence, pricing/process/FAQs, author creds, citations, and schema.
    • Architecture: tighter internal linking and topic clustering.
    • Links: remove/neutralise manipulative links where possible; disavow only when justified.
  • Manual actions: Prepare evidence pack and submit reconsideration requests, iterating until resolved.
  • Monitoring: Track recovery with GSC/GA4, query sets, directories, and templates (not vanity charts).

Disclaimer

  • Manual penalties: Often fixable with proper clean-up and strong documentation; timelines vary.
  • Core updates: Improvements can lift you sooner, but full recovery often aligns with subsequent updates.
  • Limits: Long-standing or severe violations, heavy link schemes, or years of thin content take longer and may not fully rebound.

Bottom line: We’ve removed penalties and reversed core-update losses before. We’ll tell you, upfront, what’s realistic and then do the hard work to get you back.

How do you communicate and how often? +

Channels:

WhatsApp, Slack, Teams, phone, video calls, and face-to-face messages. We’ll use what your team already lives in.

Cadence (straight talk):

  • Intense periods (troubleshooting / launches / incidents): as frequent as up to 10 touchpoints per day across chat/calls—whatever it takes to resolve fast.
  • Steady state: at least once a week. Typically a weekly update (results, what shipped, what’s next) plus a quick call if needed.

How we run comms:

  • One shared channel (Slack/Teams) for transparency and speed.
  • WhatsApp for urgent decisions.
  • Scheduled video/phone check-ins (weekly or fortnightly).
  • Clear action logs and a visible changelog so nothing gets lost.

Bottom line: We’re easy to reach, we communicate like adults, and the frequency flexes with the work, from 10x/day when needed to a light weekly touchpoints when things are going as expected.
