Solution? Bespoke SEO audit.
Audits we undertake are bespoke and tailored to each client, their target market and online marketing strategy.

The SEO audit findings will conclude with a list of prioritised recommendations for you to implement, to ensure your website is optimised and that it will rank as highly as possible for your target keywords given the level of competition you face. You will gain an in-depth understanding of how your website currently performs in search and what needs to be done to improve rankings and your share of traffic to increase the number of relevant visitors it receives from search engines.

Solution? Search intent modelling.
Search Intent Modelling is a unique service to provide more accuracy in linking keywords in search to your most relevant content. An in-depth analysis of how and why those keywords are used will influence the design, content and structure of your webpages – and how to offer and present your products or services in the most intuitive, relevant way at the correct point in the buying process. Our Search Intent Modelling solution includes persona research, keyword analysis, competitor data analysis, usability testing, paid search keyword testing and search trends expertise. This information will define your website architecture and target keyword groups, focus your content strategy and identify new landing page opportunities. We examine various points in a search journey and how you can best capture your audience along the way. With similarities to consumer behaviour modelling, we conduct search intent modelling with the aim to develop a deep and full understanding of the human and technical processes involved in how your target market searches online.
Solution? Internal linking investigation.
Our custom built Internal Linking tool uses a bespoke formula, written by our SEO experts, that incorporates the many factors affecting the strength and importance of the internal links. We then analyse this data to make recommendations for improving your internal linking structure. It is ideal for large websites and possible for sites from 100 to 1,000,000 pages. Receive a customised report outlining strengths and weaknesses of your current internal linking structure. It will include a bespoke visualisation of the connectivity of your site, details on which pages are receiving the most linking weighting and which pages are disconnected from the rest of your site. We provide you actionable recommendations to improve your internal linking architecture, so your site is well connected with an optimised linking strategy. Using our custom-made formula and the knowledge of our SEO experts, we can provide you with a unique insight into your internal linking structure. We use our custom built Internal Linking Analysis tool to generate importance scores for each of the pages on your site, before visualising these scores in a clear, concise and colour coded graph.
Solution? Brand control strategy.
It is important that your website appears at the top of the Google search results, but we can also help to ensure that your brand appears in multiple locations throughout the results page, is highly visible and is positively backed up by other trustworthy sources. with our support you will be able to control what appears in the top listings for your brand name in search as much as possible. We will analyse the effectiveness of your current brand control in search and recommend improvements to search engine listings and the appearance of relevant results pages. This includes looking at how people currently search for your brand and how you can optimise your Google My Business, image and video rich snippets, social media accounts and third party website entries to effectively dominate the first results page in search. Your top brand name listing will be prominent and effective. Other areas of the search results page – such as the knowledge panel, location pack, news, video and twitter feeds – will be used to promote your brand where relevant and any negative or competitive listings that you do not want to be visible will be pushed down out of view. Your brand or company can also be immediately validated through entries on other trustworthy websites that are listed immediately below your site – like Wikipedia, YouTube, and media and review sites like Feefo and Trustpilot, directory sites eg. Yelp and TripAdvisor, and social sites like Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Solution? Content gap analysis.
We will analyse and compare search traffic going to your main competitors’ websites in order to identify gaps in your content strategy – where relevant visitors are going to rival websites – and not yours – because you do not have the right content on your pages in order to compete in search. Looking at your website statistics in isolation can’t tell you if there are sections of your target market that you are simply not reaching in search. Your website might be missing out on attracting relevant users just because you don’t have a page on ‘xxxx. We can help identify these gaps, give you the peace of mind knowing there are not groups of potential visitors that your competitors are reaching, but you are not, and reassure you that your website content is working hard to provide the highest amount of relevant search traffic it can.
Solution? SEO business case modelling.
We have developed our own modelling techniques to predict the size and shape of specific markets in search to provide you with research you need to complete a robust business model. You may be interested in buying an established online business and need to do due diligence to evaluate its commercial potential before investing. This is specialised information – all this data is hard to find unless you have the tools, access and experience necessary to analyse online data and trends. This is where we can help. You provide us your business vision and we will provide you with the initial research and data focusing on what you could expect to achieve using search engines as a primary route to market. You will then be able to confidently weigh up the benefits and risks of proceeding. We will also be able to provide you with realistic technical solutions, costs and timescales with which to finalise your business plan and secure the internal or external approval and investment needed. You may currently have a profitable shopping channel selling pet accessories on Amazon but are worried that this is too restrictive and would like to expand sales through your own branded website. How do you find out the size of this market and what share you could realistically expect to get? How often do they shop for their pet online and how much do they spend? Where do they live? What pet accessories are searched for the most online? What would they expect your website to look like and do? What level of investment would it take to build this site? Answering such questions will enable you to make the search revenue predictions necessary for your business case model.
