Imagine being the first name people find when they're searching for exactly what you sell.
No ad spend, no chasing. Just steady enquiries from people already ready to buy.
Search engine optimisation gets talked about in percentages and keyword volumes. None of that pays invoices. What matters is whether the phone rings when someone searches for what you do. Here’s the kind of movement we work towards, measured in positions gained and enquiries landed, not vanity metrics.
Position 22. Effectively invisible. Nobody scrolls past the first page, so every searcher at this stage went straight to a competitor. Zero organic clicks, zero organic calls.
Position 1. The top result takes around 30% of all clicks for that search. Once you’re there, organic enquiries come in consistently without paying for every single click.
Before SEO work, 3 out of every 100 people searching for this client’s service were finding them. After, that number rose to 35 out of 100. The search volume didn’t change. The visibility did, and so did the enquiry rate.
START A CONVERSATIONWe do SEO differently. The aim isn’t to rank for the most keywords or to send you a 40-page PDF every month. It’s to get more of the right people landing on your website and turning into actual enquiries, more work coming through the website, less faffing about with vanity metrics that don’t pay invoices.
Built to climb the searches that bring real enquiries, not vanity keywords nobody actually types.
Most SEO agencies start with keywords. We start with a different question: what does a good month look like for your business?
If you’re a roofer in Lincoln, a good month is eight to ten quote requests from local people who actually need a roof fixed, not ranking for “best roofing tips UK”, a vanity keyword that brings traffic but no work.
So the work starts with figuring out which searches actually bring you customers, then making sure your site shows up for them. Everything else is in service of that.
Every retainer covers the same core ingredients, scaled to suit the job, technical, on-page, content and links, on a local SEO foundation.
Technical makes sure Google can crawl your site: fixing broken links, sorting page speeds, tightening structure. On-page handles meta titles, headings and keywords, without reading like a robot wrote it.
Content adds new pages and refreshes old ones. Link building is done sensibly: real outreach, real publications, no dodgy networks that get you penalised.
No mystery, no fluff, here's what you actually get when you work with us.
Honest answer: SEO is a slow burn. Anyone telling you they’ll have you ranking page one in four weeks is either fibbing or doing something risky.
Most clients see meaningful movement in three to six months, better rankings, more traffic, a noticeable uptick in enquiries. Six to twelve months in is when it feels like a real return on investment.
It’s slower than PPC to start, but every month the work compounds. PPC stops the moment you stop paying. SEO keeps earning.
We work on monthly SEO retainers covering the work, technical fixes, on-page, content, links, reporting, priced on how competitive your market is.
You’ll know what you’re paying before signing anything. The price doesn’t quietly creep up, and there are no 12-month contracts.
People stay because they’re getting more work through the website, not because they signed something they can’t get out of. Standard notice is one month. If you ever want to stop, you stop.
We want to know what your business does, who buys from you, what searches actually bring you customers, and what you’ve got going on already. No charge, no commitment.
What we’d do, why, what it’d cost monthly, and what kind of returns are realistic given your market and budget. All without the jargon.
Technical fixes first, then on-page, then content and links. You’ll see progress in your rankings and traffic from month two or three onward.
Ongoing monthly reporting, regular calls, and ongoing optimisation. Standard one-month notice if you ever want to pause or stop. We don’t lock anyone in.
Working with Darren has been an absolute pleasure. Professional, creative, and his technical expertise exceeded all expectations. He’s changed our website completely and we’ve had so much feedback and leads since.
By far the best referral I’ve ever had. Completely hassle free, transformed our website, traffic, rating and emails. Nothing is ever too much, and everything moved so smoothly you wouldn’t have known anything was happening.
Used Design Lincs for our web design and SEO and couldn’t be happier. Done quickly but at an amazing standard. Great service, would absolutely recommend.
From the first call they actually listened to what we wanted, and the finished site looks miles better than before. Quick to respond, fair on price, and sorted a couple of tweaks after launch without any fuss.
They didn’t just make it look nicer; they thought about how customers use the site and rebuilt it around that. Brilliant communication throughout, a massive step up. Highly recommend.
They built us a new website and took over our digital marketing, and the difference has been night and day. Our calls are up and the whole experience was easy. Highly recommended.
Monthly retainers vary depending on your market. A sole-trader plumber competing in one town pays less than a national e-commerce site competing nationwide; they need different amounts of work to move the needle. You’ll get a clear, written quote based on what your situation actually needs, not a “starting from” figure that triples once you’ve signed off.
Three to six months for meaningful traction, six to twelve for serious returns. Anyone promising faster than that is either using black-hat tactics or stretching the truth. SEO compounds, the work you pay for in month one is still earning rankings in month twenty.
No, and neither can anyone else. Google’s algorithm changes constantly, competitors can outspend us, and rankings shift week to week. What we can promise is honest work, clear reporting, and a solid track record across 15+ years. Anyone guaranteeing rankings is the agency you should walk away from.
Yes. We’re based in Lincolnshire but work with clients across the UK. SEO doesn’t really care where you sit, what matters is whether the work is good, and most communication happens over phone, email and video calls anyway.
SEO is a long-term play that gets you ranking organically, slower to start, but the results compound and stay even when you pause spending. PPC is paid advertising, with instant results, but the second you stop paying, the traffic stops. Most businesses benefit from a mix.
A quick message or a phone call, no obligation, no jargon, and we'll come back with a straight answer on which channels actually make sense for you and what they'd cost.
