Trusted by local businesses

Right now, someone is searching for exactly what you sell. If they find your competitor first, that's their customer, not yours. SEO isn't optional, it's how you stop losing sales you never knew about.

Most agencies treat SEO like a mystery. We don't. You'll know exactly what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how it's performing, in plain English, backed by real data. Every strategy is built around your specific market, your competitors, and the searches your customers actually make.

Four pillars of SEO.

That actually works.

Rankings come from getting everything right, consistently.

Pillar 01

Technical SEO

The foundation. If Google and AI systems can't crawl, parse and trust the page, nothing else matters.

  • Site speed & Core Web Vitals
  • Crawl & indexation
  • Schema & structured data
  • Clear signals for AI Overviews
Pillar 02

Content Strategy

Not blog posts for the sake of it. Pages built around what customers search, and the questions they ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.

  • Keyword research & mapping
  • Search intent & question mapping
  • Service page optimisation
  • Answers structured for AI citation
Pillar 03

Authority Building

Google and answer engines trust sites that other sites trust. We build real mentions and links, not spammy directories.

  • Digital PR & outreach
  • Local citation building
  • Competitor backlink analysis
  • Internal linking architecture
Pillar 04

Local SEO

For businesses that serve a local area. Map pack, local results, and the local answers AI systems recommend when someone nearby asks.

  • Google Business Profile optimisation
  • Map pack strategy
  • Review generation systems
  • Local landing pages

Not all agencies are the same.

You've probably been burned before. Here's how we're different.

How long does SEO take?

What we've seen with our clients.

This is the pattern we keep seeing, not a guarantee on a calendar. Competitive markets take longer. Anyone promising page one in a week is selling a different service.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Work is live. Rankings are not.

    Audit, tracking, technical foundations, speed and mobile. The site gets faster and cleaner. You will not see page one yet.

  2. First 3 months

    Some results move quickly. Some take longer.

    Content, authority and local building. Leads start coming through, but they are inconsistent.

  3. 3–6 months

    Competitive terms settle. Leads get predictable.

    This is where it starts paying for itself. Enquiries become more regular, then stronger from there.

Recent work

Proof, not promises.

Other recent wins

Included in every SEO plan

Found on Google. Cited by AI.

Your customers don't just search Google any more. They ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews, and those engines recommend businesses whose websites answer questions clearly. The structured content, schema and proof we build into every SEO retainer is the same work that gets you cited by AI search. It's one job, done once, working in both places.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on cost, timelines, and what SEO actually includes.

How much does SEO cost?

SEO on its own starts from £950/mo. It costs less when you get it with a new website. The figure depends on your current site, your market and how competitive the searches are. We give you a real price once we have looked at your site.

How long does SEO take to work?

Some searches move in weeks. Competitive North East terms usually take three to six months to hold page one. The first month is checking, fixing and setting up tracking, and it builds from there. Anyone promising page one in a week is selling something else.

Do you only work with Newcastle businesses?

No. We're based in the North East and work with businesses across Newcastle, Tyneside, Wearside and County Durham. Your own customers can be anywhere in the world. We only take on North East businesses, though, so if you are based further afield we are not the right fit.

Can you get my business ranking for Newcastle searches?

That is the main thing we do. Newcastle is the most competitive patch in the region, so it takes real work rather than a few tweaks. That means pages built around what people actually search. It means a properly set up Google Business Profile. And it means building enough trust to hold a top spot. If your market is too crowded to win quickly, we will say so.

Does your SEO include AI search, like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?

Yes, as standard. Every plan includes it: clear answers written on the page, plus the background code that tells AI tools what your business does and where it works. The aim is for ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI summaries to name you.

What happens in the first month?

We check the site for technical problems, map your competitors and the searches worth chasing, and set up tracking so we can prove what works. Then the first round of fixes goes live. You will know what we are doing and why before any content work starts.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. Plans are monthly rolling. Stay because the numbers work, leave if they do not.
