An affordable, sensible approach to SEO

Marketing agencies can charge thousands of pounds a month for SEO, and while a bigger budget does help, you don't need to spend a fortune to compete. With plans from £299+VAT a month, we give small businesses the kind of consistent, quality-driven SEO that actually moves the needle.

We take a content-first approach. That means solid, sustainable work that builds your visibility on Google and Bing over time.

It helps with AI search too. Tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and Perplexity draw on trusted, well-written websites, so the same quality content and genuine backlinks that lift your rankings also give your business a better chance of being mentioned in AI answers.

What we never do

  • Keyword stuffing
  • Risky or spammy link schemes
  • Shortcuts that could get your site penalised
  • Jargon-filled reports and vanity metrics
  • Empty promises about guaranteed rankings

Frequently asked questions

How long does SEO take to work?

SEO is a long-term investment. We recommend giving it at least three to six months to see meaningful results, as new content and backlinks take time to build authority with Google.

Do I need to sign a contract?

No. Like all 99social services, our SEO plans are monthly rolling with no minimum contract. You're free to cancel at any time, although we do recommend giving the service at least three to six months to see meaningful results.

Can you guarantee first page rankings?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google's algorithm. What we do promise is honest, consistent work using proven, sustainable methods, and clear reporting so you can see exactly how your campaign is progressing.

What's included in the monthly progress report?

Your report covers keyword ranking changes, organic traffic data, a summary of the backlinks built that month, and an overview of any technical or on-site work completed. It's written in plain English so you can understand exactly what's happened and what's coming next.

What are backlinks, and why do they matter?

A backlink is a link from another website pointing to yours. Google treats backlinks as a vote of confidence in your content. The more high-quality, relevant websites that link to you, the more authoritative your site appears, and the better it tends to rank. We build backlinks through outreach to genuine websites in your industry and related niches.

Will you write the blog posts for my website?

Yes. Each plan includes a set number of blog posts written and published to your website every month. These are researched, keyword-targeted articles written in your brand's voice. They help attract organic traffic and give us fresh content to support your link building.

Does your SEO help with AI search?

Yes. AI tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and Perplexity pull their answers from websites they see as trustworthy and relevant. The same work that improves your Google rankings, clear and helpful content, genuine backlinks and a technically sound website, also gives your business a better chance of appearing in AI answers. Nobody can guarantee a mention, but good SEO puts you in the strongest position.

Do you work with local businesses?

Yes. If you serve a specific area, we target local search terms alongside broader national terms relevant to your industry, so you show up when nearby customers are searching.

Can I combine SEO with social media?

Absolutely. Many of our clients use both services together, and there are real advantages to doing so. Social content can drive traffic to your blog posts, and strong organic visibility means your social profiles reach a wider audience. Get in touch to ask about combining plans.

What if my website needs a lot of technical work before SEO can begin?

Our initial health check will flag any significant technical issues. Minor fixes are handled as part of the ongoing plan. If your site has more serious underlying problems, we'll be upfront about that before we start and talk through the options with you.
