Google ruled the search landscape for over two decades, but times are evolving. Now, your audience’s time and attention are split across more search platforms than ever. Entire audiences spend more time on YouTube than anywhere else, others use TikTok as their main search engine and, for many, Amazon is the go-to place for product searches.
Google is still the biggest search engine but your audience is interacting with competitors in plenty of other locations.
Every year, we’re seeing more consumer journeys take place outside of Google and traditional search. They might start their journey on social media, jump over to YouTube for product reviews, ask a bunch of questions in Reddit and then buy from an online marketplace after reading through customer reviews.
SEO is now a game of being visible in the right places, at the right moments and capturing attention through meaningful interactions – the kind that influence buying decisions.

Your target audience moves between search platforms as they navigate consumer journeys. They’re actively searching and discovering across social media, online marketplaces, comparison sites, mobile apps, review sites, community forums and plenty more – as well as traditional search. Being visible where your audience is active has never been more important (or challenging). However, simply being visible isn’t enough when your audience’s attention is split across so many platforms. Aside from being present in the right places, you have to pinpoint the key moments of influence and capture their attention with messages that cut through the noise.
Know the search platforms your target audiences use throughout the consumer journey – from the first movement of discovery through to conversion.
Understand the intent of your audience as they use each search platform and how their intent changes through each stage of the consumer journey.
Determine what captures your audience’s attention at the key moments, because everything else is forgotten.
Your audience sees ads and marketing messages everywhere they turn. Marketing fatigue is a growing problem as users adopt more platforms that are all competing for their attention. Cutting through the noise has never been more difficult, but this is the challenge every brand needs to overcome. Knowing the where, why and what behind your audience’s search journey is key to capturing their attention with impactful messages – in the right place, at the right time.
When 96% of content gets no traffic from Google, and users are overwhelmed by marketing messages, visibility without meaningful interaction counts for nothing. You need an SEO strategy that turns visibility into valuable actions, in line with your marketing goals.
Set ambitious, achievable SEO goals that make a real impact on business performance.

When appointing an SEO agency, you must identify how credible they are. There are lots of agencies who have poor reputations but this can be hard to determine by their website. Check out their customers and Google reviews – even ask to speak to one for a reference. Question the SEO agency on their processes and technology. You want to understand how much SEO work is required to help you hit your objectives. And how much of your budget will be spent on manual tasks that should be automated. Ask about their reporting and to see an example report. Also what roadmap they will put in place to ensure you achieve the return on investment you need. A good SEO agency will be open and honest about their procedures and customers. This should give you confidence to appoint them.
We offer the full range of SEO services including: Amazon SEO, app store optimisation, eCommerce SEO, enterprise SEO, international SEO, local SEO, mobile SEO, penalty recovery, podcast SEO, SEO audits, technical SEO, voice search, SEO training and SEO support with website migration.
SEO stands for ‘search engine optimisation’. This was a perfect description for the strategy that emerged shortly after the birth of early search engines. Today, optimising for search engines is still the main function of SEO but the real priority is optimising for business and marketing goals (purchase, conversions, leads, etc.). Modern SEO also has to optimise for the end user. It considers many on-page factors and your ability to convert traffic into paying customers.
An SEO agency will help your brand get found online. They should take time to understand your audience and objectives, then put together a strategy to ensure that when your audience is searching for the products and services you offer, that your website is presented to them on Google (or in other search engines). This involves hundreds of tasks and ongoing optimisation such as technical SEO, local SEO, on-page SEO, off-page SEO, content marketing, user experience etc.
The cost of an SEO agency can vary based on what you want to achieve as a company and how competitive your marketplace is. If you are a small business wanting to increase visibility at a local level, you might pay £600-£800 per month. But, if you are a nationwide or international company and want to increase visibility across the UK or abroad, you could pay £10k+ per month. We always quote on a case by case basic so email [email protected] if you’d like an idea of costs.
Definitely. An effective SEO strategy doesn’t generate traffic for the sake of it. Optimising your website increases opportunities by attracting visitors who want to buy from you. Google also pays a lot of attention to post-click metrics. This means SEO also has to optimise the on-page experience to maximise search visibility.
SEO will never die while search engines are the biggest source of business traffic. When people need information to help them make buying decisions, they turn to search engines like Google. This is where they’re most susceptible to influence. The SEO is dead cliche has been running for more than a decade – yet this remains the most important channel for online business.
We hear this a lot. There are loads of SEO agencies that don’t have the skills or technology to deliver good SEO services. If you’ve been burned before by an SEO agency, that doesn’t mean you can’t work with another in the future. That’s why we have a completely open and honest way of working with our customers. You can log into our workstream system and see exactly what’s happening on your campaign at any time. We send regular reports and have regular catch ups so that you always know the status of your campaigns. Plus how your budget is being spent.
