SEO That Grows Revenue, Not Just Rankings
Technical SEO, content and authority building for businesses that want qualified organic traffic — with reporting you can verify yourself in Google Search Console.
What does an SEO agency actually do?
An SEO agency improves how well a website ranks in organic search results. The work falls into three areas. Technical SEO makes the site crawlable, fast and correctly structured, so search engines can access and understand every page. On-page SEO aligns page content, titles and internal links with what people actually search for. Off-page SEO builds the authority signals — primarily links and brand mentions from other sites — that decide who wins competitive rankings.
Brandmek delivers all three, plus the structured data needed for AI answer engines such as ChatGPT and Perplexity to read and cite the site.
What's Included
Every retainer covers all four pillars. No upsells for basics.
Technical SEO
Crawl and indexation audit, Core Web Vitals, site architecture, schema markup, canonical and redirect hygiene, XML sitemaps and log-file review.
On-Page & Content
Keyword research mapped to intent, title and heading optimisation, internal linking, content gap analysis, and production of new pages that target real demand.
Authority Building
Digital PR, guest placements and earned links from relevant publications. No PBNs, no bought link packages, no tactics that create future liability.
Reporting You Can Verify
Monthly reporting tied to Search Console and GA4 data you own. Rankings, impressions, clicks and conversions — plus what we did and what is next.
How We Work
Month one is diagnosis. Months two onward are compounding.
Audit
Full technical crawl, competitor gap analysis and a baseline of where you rank today.
Fix
Technical debt cleared first — indexation, speed, structure. This is what unlocks everything else.
Build
Content and pages targeting the terms your buyers actually use, mapped to each stage of intent.
Earn
Authority building and digital PR to make those pages competitive.
What we won't promise you
- No ranking guarantees. Nobody controls Google's algorithm. Guarantees are usually met by targeting keywords with no search volume.
- No 30-day results. Local campaigns move in 6–10 weeks. Competitive national terms take six to nine months.
- No bought links. Link schemes work until they don't, and the penalty lands on you, not on us.
- No lock-in contracts. Rolling monthly with 30 days' notice. If the work stops being worth it, you leave.

An SEO agency improves how well a website ranks in organic search results. The work falls into three areas: technical SEO, which makes the site crawlable, fast and correctly structured; on-page SEO, which aligns page content with what people search for; and off-page SEO, which builds the authority signals — mainly links and brand mentions — that determine competitive rankings.
UK SEO retainers commonly run from £500 to £5,000 per month. Brandmek starts at £600 per month for local campaigns and £1,200 per month for national or multi-service programmes. One-off technical audits are £450.
Local campaigns typically show ranking movement in 6 to 10 weeks and commercial results by month four. Competitive national terms take six to nine months. Anyone promising first-page rankings in thirty days is either targeting terms nobody searches or is not being straight with you.
No, and no reputable agency does. Google's ranking system is not controlled by any agency, and guarantees are usually achieved by targeting keywords with no search volume. We commit to a defined scope of work, agreed leading indicators, and monthly reporting you can verify independently in Google Search Console.
Yes, but the target has widened. AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Perplexity build answers largely from pages that already rank well and carry clear structured data, so strong SEO is now the entry requirement for being cited by AI as well as ranked by Google. The practical change is that content must be structured to answer questions directly, not just to attract clicks.
