About us

More than 15 years in search marketing

When Matt Hopkins founded Vertical Leap in 2001, he wanted to run an SEO agency with transparency at its core. The principle of giving clients complete visibility of their SEO campaigns is one that is still one of our core values. We have expanded our specialist teams to offer PPC, content marketing, social PR and design.

15 years of leadership

Digital marketing never stands still and we constantly evolve to stay one step ahead. We have been developing our marketing intelligence platform for more than 10 years to give you a competitive advantage. We led the way with our content-driven approach to search in 2009 and once again we are the first of a new generation of digital agencies, combining intelligent algorithms with smart people to give you a powerful force multiplier.

Awards

The culture of complete accountability is our backbone. It is one of the reasons we are an award winning agency – we have achieved elite status in the Drum Digital census 2014; become a RAR Top 100 agency; and runner-up in Agency of the Year for the Wirehive Awards 2014. If you want to work with a multi award winning agency, then look no further

Our specialist teams

We have more than 50 experts, most of whom work in our delivery teams. We believe in the power of specialists, and have dedicated teams that only focus on SEO, PPC, content, social and design.

We also like 'T-shaped' people, though – experts who have a broad knowledge of all channels, but specialise and cultivate deep knowledge in one core discipline. This means the people working for you are excellent at whichever services you are buying.
