3. We take responsibility

Our team undertake every aspect of the work required to maximise on Google's search traffic for your keywords. 

We use data, to research, plan, write and upload content, optimise pages, re-design, build backlinks, and then report.

How we work

Although all clients are different, we have found that the best SEO strategies contain creative and engaging content plans. In essence, search engine optimization is content.

We concentrate on what your web visitor needs to know to be happy to make a purchase.

We primarily target transaction intent. These are keywords that are most likely to result in a lead or a sale, and they may include the words book, buy, near me, etc.

We know exactly what needs to happen to ensure Google rewards your website with traffic. There are no tricks or magic; it's simply research, brainstorming, hard graft, analysis, and repeat.

Connect with Your Local Audience

Depending on your business, the best place to start is often connecting with customers closest to your business location. Many of our clients are based in Surrey, so we have optimised hundreds of pages for local towns.

We believe in the Closest to the money concept. Customers nearest to you are easier to convert. This is often referred to as Local SEO.

We have 17 years of experience and can execute a local customer capture strategy that is more effective than any other UK agency can offer.

Connect with a Nationwide Audience

Often, once your local search is in place, it is time to go after the more significant traffic keywords.

How do we do this?

This is where our expertly crafted content plans come into place. We present Google with expert webpages that form an entire section that incorporates every question and answer a customer needs to buy. 

Or put another way presents a page for every keyword a user could use to find your website.

We write well-researched, persuasive copy, which our SEOs weave and link together into a compelling story that connects users to your brand.

Fortunately, it also resonates with what Google perceives as a 'quality website'.

WHERE TO START

We begin by creating a first Quater Plan

This is the work we plan to do in the first 90 days. It includes all the above aspects combined into a clear strategy targeting keywords. 

Although we begin with the easiest-to-reach keywords, we also optimise for the high-traffic volume keywords. If appropriate, location optimisation also plays an important part.

Quarterly plans include uploading new content we have created and uploading new images and backlinks we have sourced. It is a complete 360 SEO service.

Schedule a meeting. We will prepare creative ideas to discuss with you. We will also have notes on your technical SEO, content, and on-page optimisation.

If you are impressed, we can write a proposal; if you are not, then we can part as friends. Sound fair.

Why It Will work?

It has worked for over 483 clients out of 512 in 17 years.

Do our results always succeed?

  • We always succeed in creating a far better digital property that delivers tangible marketing benefits and revenue.
  • We have not always managed to meet some clients' expectations.
  • This is not because we have not put in the effort of the hard work. It is often because we are not given enough time or budget to succeed.
  • Sometimes, though, it is just as simple as we got it wrong. Even we are fallible.

However, we succeed far more than we fail; see our clients' stories to show our success.

We got great results working with Ben at Vanilla Circus – they managed the SEO for three of our healthcare websites, all which saw a very good growth in traffic and conversions over that period. They were also very proactive in setting up Live Chat for us and getting to know our hospital, the treatment involved, how we work and what services we offer so that they could offer valuable strategic website navigation guidance to maximise sales.

If I could add 6 stars I would. Vanilla’s ethos and approach to SEO are totally unique. It was such a relief to speak to a company that puts everything in plain English. After 4 SEO companies in London and in Manchester, we finally feel that we are not being taken for a ride and that we can clearly see things improving month on month. We are now into our 14 month and we are delighted with the results and have no hesitation recommending Ben and his team to anyone (except our competitors) Em
