FAQs

Before success is measured, we need to have a clear view on what SEO success looks like. This means it’s critical we can set KPIs with you that are aligned to your business growth targets and expectations. Once we’ve set KPIs, we share a benchmark report to ensure we can track progress against these targets. We use a combination of third-party tools to produce data-driven analysis on a month by month basis and measure this back to our original and any new KPIs that have been set. 

We certainly can. Although we’re a smaller agency, we have a number of success stories and case studies, across a range of verticals. For more details, please speak with one of our friendly team members. We’re more than happy to connect you to existing customers for a reference too. 

Our process includes five main phases. This includes detailed discovery, design, implementation, review and optimisation. We firmly believe that the marketing strategy should be a flexible and evolving plan due to the nature of rapidly changing business environments. 

We pride ourselves on providing transparent, fair pricing. We don’t do ‘packages’ and firmly believe any agency offering packages is to be avoided. Without understanding your business and the scope of work, we can’t price a campaign. Custom pricing doesn’t mean expensive though – we try to work with all budgets.
