SEO that turns visibility into enquiries — not just rankings.

We get your business found for the searches your buyers actually make — on Google and in AI answers — and we measure success the way you do: the calls, forms and sales that come from them. You work directly with the senior specialists doing the work. No account-manager relay, no juniors learning on your budget.

Common SEO Problems for SMEs

Rankings look fine. The phone's not ringing.

Most underperforming SEO isn't a Google problem — it's a targeting, content and conversion problem. If any of these sound familiar, that's usually why.

1

Traffic, but no enquiries

Your visitor numbers climb while the phone stays quiet — because the page they land on was never built to turn a search into a conversation.

2

Reports full of numbers that don't pay

Impressions, positions, clicks — plenty of charts, but you still can't see which search actually produced a paying customer.

3

Visible for your name, invisible for the decision

You rank when someone types your company name. Your competitors rank for the questions buyers ask before they choose.

4

You've paid for SEO before

A PDF audit, some meta tags, a few directory links — then silence. Activity isn't the same as progress.

5

Missing from the new search

Buyers now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI who to shortlist. If your name isn't in those answers, you're losing deals you never knew existed.

Every month this stays unfixed, the gap gets more expensive: competitors collect the enquiries your buyers wanted to give you, and they build the authority you'll later have to outrank. Search rewards whoever starts — and keeps going.

Is Our SEO Service Right for You?

Two minutes here could save us both a call.

This is for you if…

  • You have a proven offer and a website worth sending traffic to — SEO amplifies what already converts
  • You want success measured in enquiries and sales, not positions in a PDF
  • You can give us access to your site, analytics and Search Console — we optimise what we can see
  • You're thinking in quarters, not weeks, and want an asset that compounds instead of ads that stop the moment you stop paying
  • You want to talk to the person doing the work — not an account manager relaying messages

This probably isn't for you if…

  • You need the phone ringing this month — paid ads are the honest answer there, and we can help with those instead
  • Your website isn't live yet or is mid-rebuild — get the foundation right first; an SEO-ready new build is the smarter starting point
  • You want guaranteed #1 positions — nobody honest sells those, and we won't pretend to
  • Your budget is under £[X]/month — below that threshold, a one-off SEO Audit will do more for you than a stretched retainer

Not sure which column you're in? That's exactly what the discovery call is for — we'll tell you straight, and point you somewhere useful either way.

What's Included in Our SEO Services

Everything that moves the needle. Nothing that just fills a report.

Six workstreams, one goal: searches that become enquiries. Here's exactly what we do, what lands in your hands, and how we judge whether it's working.

Technical foundation

What we doFull technical audit; we fix crawl, speed, mobile and indexation issues and set up structured data.
What you receiveA prioritised fix list — implemented by us or briefed to your developer — and a clean technical baseline.
How we judge itEvery important page crawlable, indexed and fast on mobile.

Buyer-intent research

What we doWe map the searches your buyers actually make — from first question to final comparison, including what they ask AI tools.
What you receiveA keyword and question map tied to your services, reviewed and agreed with you.
How we judge itEvery page targets a search a real buyer makes.

On-page & content

What we doWe rebuild your key service pages and create decision-stage content that answers buyer questions.
What you receiveOptimised pages plus [X] new content pieces per month — written to convert, not just to rank.
How we judge itRankings for buyer-intent terms — and enquiries from those pages.

Authority building

What we doWe earn links and mentions from relevant, real websites — digital PR, partnerships, genuinely useful resources.
What you receiveA monthly log of every link and mention earned. Nothing bought, nothing spammy.
How we judge itGrowing authority on the topics you sell — not raw link counts.

AI search visibility

What we doWe structure your content so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI can find it, trust it and cite it.
What you receiveAnswer-ready page structures, schema markup, and monitoring of where you appear in AI answers.
How we judge itYour name showing up when buyers ask AI who to shortlist.

Reporting & iteration

What we doMonthly plain-English report and call, plus a quarterly strategy review.
What you receiveOne dashboard connecting rankings → traffic → enquiries → revenue.
How we judge itYou can see which searches produced which customers.
Not included, so there are no surprises:
  • Website rebuilds or development beyond on-page fixes — quoted separately, or briefed to your developer
  • Paid ads management — that's a different service, and we can help there too
  • Content beyond [X] pieces per month — available as an add-on
What we'll need from you:
  • Access to your website, analytics and Search Console in week one
  • One person who can answer questions and approve content within working days
  • Honest sales feedback — which enquiries became customers, and which didn't
Why SMEs Choose Our SEO Agency

Traffic that converts beats traffic that flatters.

Most SEO is measured in ways that make agencies look busy: keyword counts, impressions, position tracking for terms nobody buys from. We work the other way. We start from the searches your buyers make when they're close to a decision, build the pages that answer them, and measure everything against what reaches your inbox and your books.

We're structured differently on purpose. No account-manager relay between you and the people doing the work. No juniors learning on your budget. You talk directly to the senior specialists on your account, we plug into your team, and we report against the numbers your business actually runs on.

That also means we're selective. If you want the cheapest possible retainer, or a hundred keywords tracked for the sake of a chart, we'll happily point you towards agencies that do that well. If you want search to become a channel you can actually forecast — that's the work we built DNA to do.

Our SEO Process, Step by Step

What happens after you say yes.

Weeks 1–2

Diagnostic

What happens: we audit your site's technical health, content, authority and current visibility — in Google and in AI search. We baseline where you are and agree, in numbers, what "working" will mean.

What we need from you: website, analytics and Search Console access, one 60-minute intake call, honest answers about which enquiries actually become customers.

Weeks 2–3

Strategic

What happens: we build the plan — buyer-intent map, priority pages, content calendar, technical fix list — sequenced by impact, with targets attached. Nothing changes on your site until you've approved it.

What we need from you: feedback within working days, one decision-maker in the approval loop.

Week 4 onward

Deployment

What happens: fixes go live, pages get rebuilt, content ships, authority building begins. Weekly optimisation cycles, a monthly plain-English report and call, and a quarterly strategy review.

What we need from you: timely content approvals, and sales feedback on lead quality.

When you'll see what
  • Weeks 1–4: technical fixes live, baseline set, plan approved
  • Weeks 8–12: early movement — quick-win pages climbing, first new enquiries from search
  • Months 4–6: compounding — content and authority gains start stacking
  • Month 6+: search becomes a channel you can forecast

No black box. You'll always know what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what it's producing.

SEO Case Study: The Italian Lawyer

From invisible on Google to 6,000+ organic clicks a month.

The client

The Italian Lawyer is a London-based firm specialising in cross-border Italian law — corporate matters, inheritance, real estate and private client work across the UK and Italy. World-class expertise. Near-zero digital presence.

Where they started
  • Invisible on Google for high-intent legal searches — lucrative cross-border traffic going to competitors and directories
  • Domain authority so low Google treated the site as a static brochure
  • What little traffic arrived was the wrong audience: casual browsers after free advice, not clients ready to instruct
What we found

In legal, trust is the currency — and the firm had no way to earn it online. The winning searches weren't generic; they were the specific questions buyers ask when choosing a cross-border lawyer. Nobody was answering them. So we built for exactly that.

What we did
  • Built deep, expert-led content targeting the high-intent questions corporate decision-makers and private clients actually search
  • Structured every page to earn citations in Google AI Overviews, not just classic rankings
  • Earned 300+ natural backlinks from respected legal and editorial sources
  • Ran conversion-led PPC in parallel, capturing immediate high-intent enquiries while the organic foundations took root
6,000+ monthly organic clicks from Google
  • ~200 high-intent keywords ranking in the top 3
  • 64 pages cited as sources in Google AI Overviews
  • 300+ natural backlinks from legal and editorial sources
  • Paid-search conversions doubled in 2 months while organic ramped

Results reflect this client's market, starting point and budget — they're evidence of how we work, not a promise of identical numbers.

SEO Pricing: What It Costs and Why

What SEO with DNA costs — no email address required.

Most SEO engagements with DNA run between £[X] and £[X] per month, depending on your market, your site's condition and how much content the plan needs. One-off audits and fixed projects are priced individually. Either way, you'll have an exact written quote within 48 hours of your discovery call — before you commit to anything.

The four things that move your price:
  • Your market's competitiveness — ranking a London law firm costs more than ranking a local tradesperson
  • Your site's starting condition — technical debt and thin content mean more groundwork in the first months
  • Content volume — [X] pieces per month included; higher cadence available
  • Scope — how many services, locations or languages you need to rank for
One monthly fee. Everything in it.

Strategy, technical fixes, content, authority building, AI-search optimisation, dashboard, monthly call. No surprise line items, no "premium reporting" tier.

The term

[X]-month initial term — then rolling monthly. Not because we want to lock you in, but because that's how long it honestly takes to build the baseline and prove the signal. After that, if we're not earning the renewal, you shouldn't renew.

Not ready for a retainer? Start with the SEO Audit.

£[X] fixed · working days · findings call included. You get a prioritised roadmap you can execute with us, with someone else, or in-house. Continue with us and the audit fee comes off your first invoice.

Meet the SEO Specialists on Your Account

The people you meet are the people who do the work.

No account managers relaying messages. When you email, the person who wrote your strategy is the person who answers. This is who's behind your SEO.

What day-to-day looks like

You brief and question the specialists directly — no relay layer. Questions answered within one working day. Your monthly call is with the people doing the work, not a rep reading a report at you. We work across UK / European time zones.

Where AI fits in — and where it doesn't

We use AI and specialist tools for research, analysis and monitoring — it makes us faster. Strategy, content and every final decision stay human. Your data is never fed into public AI models.

SEO FAQs: Straight Answers

The questions everyone asks before they book.

How long does SEO take to work?

Early movement typically shows in weeks 8–12; compounding growth builds from months 4–6. Quick wins come first — technical fixes and pages that only needed targeting — while authority and content compound behind them. We set your baseline in the Diagnostic phase so movement is measured, not imagined. Anyone promising page 1 in 30 days is selling you something.

Do you guarantee #1 rankings?

No — and nobody honest does. Rankings are Google's decision. What we control and commit to is the work, the targets and the transparency — and we measure success in enquiries and revenue, not positions in a chart.

How much does SEO cost with DNA?

Most engagements run £[X]–£[X] per month; market competitiveness, your site's condition, content volume and scope move the price. You get an exact written quote within 48 hours of your discovery call. If your budget sits below that range, the fixed-fee SEO Audit is the honest starting point.

What's the minimum commitment?

A [X]-month initial term, then rolling monthly. SEO genuinely needs that window to build a baseline and prove signal — shorter would be taking your money under false pretences. After that, we earn the renewal every month.

What do you need from us?

Access in week one (website, analytics, Search Console), one person who approves content within working days, and honest feedback on which enquiries became customers. Budget roughly [X] hour(s) of your time per month.

Who owns the work if we part ways?

You do — all of it. The content, the research, the rankings earned, the dashboard history. Everything we've built is yours, we hand it over properly, and we part as friends.

Can you work with our in-house team or another agency?

Yes — we regularly slot in as the specialist search arm alongside in-house marketers, web developers or a PR agency. Clear lanes, one shared dashboard, no turf wars.

We've been burned by an SEO agency before. Why would this be different?

Fair question. Three reasons: you talk directly to the people doing the work; every report ties activity to enquiries rather than vanity metrics; and you approve the strategy before anything changes on your site. And if trust needs earning first — the fixed-fee audit lets you test us before committing to anything.

Book Your SEO Discovery Call

Talk to an SEO specialist — not a salesperson.

On the call, we review your site's visibility live — where you stand in Google and AI search, what's holding you back, and what we'd fix first. Then an honest conversation about whether DNA is the right fit to fix it. If we're not, we'll say so — and point you somewhere useful.

No slide deck. No pressure sequence afterwards. One working session with someone who actually does this work.

Whatever you decide, you leave with:
  • A live snapshot of your visibility in Google and AI search
  • The 3 highest-impact fixes we'd prioritise
  • An honest fit verdict — including "don't hire us" if that's the truth
