SEO AGENCY WEST SUSSEX

With our Head Honcho, Beth Nash, starting out as a traditional marketer back in the late 90’s, search engines such as Yahoo! and Ask Jeeves were in full swing, and Google was about to take over the world.

Although most of the marketing happening at the time was still very much weighted to traditional, by the time Smart Monkey started in 2006, SEO was very much alive and a part of the service we provided to West Sussex businesses. Over the last 16 years, SEO has changed dramatically, and we have been lucky enough to experience, and be a part of, the rise of digital marketing.

Our traditional marketing roots and Chartered Marketer status with the Chartered Institute of Marketing, have given us the extra edge in helping us to master the art of SEO and ensure that we are always focused on the customer to provide the end-results for your business.

As you have landed on this page, and you are reading this content, we can safely assume that you are looking for help with SEO for your business in West Sussex.

Maybe you searched for terms such as ‘SEO Agency West Sussex’, ‘SEO Services West Sussex’, ‘SEO Company West Sussex’, ‘West Sussex SEO’, or something similar, and you found our website. This page you have landed on has been optimised within an inch of its life to rank for these keywords, because we want businesses like you to be able to find us.

And this is exactly what we can do to drive traffic to your website.

We are experts in optimising websites and SEO campaigns that gain top positions on the search engines for the keywords that will bring visitors looking for what your business offers.

Our team of SEO experts has a proven track-record spanning over 16 years providing SEO services structured to gain top positions on the search engines. We have built up our SEO experience as Google has grown, we know what works and what doesn’t, and we have used this knowledge to help businesses across West Sussex generate real results from their websites.

To start gaining results-generating rankings and challenge your competitors in the search results, get in touch with our SEO team today.

From Panda to Penguin, Payday to Pigeon and everything in between, we’ve seen all of Google’s updates roll out and helped businesses across West Sussex to rocket their SEO as a result of our white-hat SEO techniques.

We know that it is all about results – whilst we believe data is important, we prioritise results over spreadsheets. We won’t spend hours of your investment making a spreadsheet look pretty – we gather the data we need to make decisions, looking for quick wins where possible alongside longer-term gains, and implement the actions.

One of the key reasons our clients like working with us is because they talk directly to members of our team who are working on their account, rather than having to go through an account manager.

Many of our clients have been kind enough to leave us reviews on our Google profile.

Unfortunately, and I know it is not what you are going to want to hear, but “it depends” is the most accurate answer to how SEO services will cost.

There are many factors that can affect how much time, and therefore how much investment is needed, to get a site ranking on the first page of Google. A well-established website with a strong domain authority (good quality backlink profile) in a not too competitive industry is going to get results far quicker and easier than a new website, entering a highly competitive industry, up against websites that have a high domain authority and large amounts of content.

As a starting point during our initial free consultation process, we will always carry out in-depth research on your website to understand what needs to happen to help you reach your goals before we provide you with an estimate.

We do not provide ‘SEO packages’ with ‘starting from’ pricing like other SEO agencies. Every website is in a different place – our job is to understand where it is and what needs to happen to get it performing how you want, not to start a package of support based on your budget. If you are operating in a highly competitive industry and you opt for a £350 per month SEO package with another SEO company, you might as well just burn your money. We will be honest with you – we won’t let you burn your money.

To summarise what great SEO and content marketing needs to deliver results and how we support this:

• Experience (all of our team members have 5+ years SEO experience – we don’t employ juniors to work directly on client accounts, so your budget is not being used to train people)
• Talent (our team members are highly trained, most of our team come from larger agencies in the nearby digital hub of Brighton)
• Sufficient time (an inexperienced team with 50 hours wouldn’t get very far, an experienced team with 5 hours wouldn’t get very far – the balance has got to be right)

When you pick up the phone or type out our form to contact us, our first action will be to set up a call with you where we will spend 15-20 minutes or so asking questions about your business. We will then go away and carry out our initial top-level research to see what the landscape looks like so that we can get an estimate of how much time we think we will need to help you get results.

We do this so that we can be sure we can get the results you need, with the budget you have available. We won’t just start working with you if we don’t think we can make an impact, so at this point, if your sector is too competitive and your budget too low, we will tell you.

We will also set expectations with you. Organic traffic is 100% free and tends to provide higher conversion rates as users prefer real results to ads. However, good SEO requires a lot of research and work, and competition is strong for most types of websites. It can also take time to pay off – SEO is not going to get you from zero visibility to the top of page one overnight.

If we believe we can make an impact for you, and you are happy with the budget estimate, we will carry out more detailed research and pull together our insights and recommendations to run through with you. Then once we have the go ahead to work with you, our team will get to work on the essential data gathering and research that will enable us to create your SEO strategy.
