The customers you want, finding you in search and in the AI answers they increasingly trust - from a consultancy that engineers results, not just reports them.
You've probably been here before. An agency promised you first-page rankings, sent reports you couldn't make sense of, and the phone didn't ring any more than it used to. You're not the only one - and it's exactly why we work the way we do.
You deserve to know exactly what you're paying for, in language that actually makes sense. That's why we publish our pricing, give you full access to your analytics dashboards and report on what matters to your business - leads, enquiries and revenue.
As a technology consultancy, our technical SEO services don't stop at a report - the problems we find get fixed by our own engineers, not passed back for you to sort out. Your SEO strategy and your website development work together from day one.
Three recent engagements. Client names are withheld at their request, but every figure below is real and measured in Ahrefs - domain rating (DR) alongside organic traffic growth.
Client: a UK managed service provider
Challenge: almost no organic presence and a low domain rating in a crowded IT-services market.
What we did: a technical SEO overhaul, high-intent service-page optimisation, MSP-focused content and white-hat link building.
Client: an online training and course provider
Challenge: already strong at 19k visits a month, but wanting to cement market leadership and accelerate growth.
What we did: technical SEO to clear crawl bottlenecks, a high-volume content roadmap and a push to capture featured snippets.
Client: a specialist sewing and craft-supplies retailer
Challenge: grow organic visibility - especially on AI platforms, where it was nearly invisible.
What we did: mapped the real questions buyers ask AI tools, built content those tools cite confidently, then earned placements on niche craft and lifestyle sites.
Results vary by market, starting position and budget. We'll give you an honest, specific forecast for your situation before you commit.
Verified reviews from the businesses we've helped grow their search visibility.
Google is no longer the only place your customers search. Over 16 million people in the UK now use ChatGPT, and AI Overviews now appear on around one in six Google searches. We optimise your business for both traditional search and AI platforms - so you're visible wherever your customers look.
Search has split in two. Traditional Google results still drive the majority of traffic, but AI-powered search is growing fast - and most SEO agencies haven't caught up.

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is about making sure AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews actually mention and recommend your business when people ask questions in your space.
It's different from traditional SEO. Instead of optimising for a ranking position on a page of ten blue links, GEO focuses on getting your content cited in AI-generated answers. That means structuring your content so AI systems can understand it, trust it and use it as a source.
And the early signs are striking: case studies are finding that visitors who arrive from AI tools like ChatGPT search convert several times more often than those from traditional Google results. These aren't casual browsers - they're people with clear intent who've been pointed straight to you.
Here's where being a technology consultancy gives us a real edge. GEO isn't just a content exercise - it requires genuine technical skills that most marketing agencies don't have.
We implement structured data and schema markup as part of our development workflow, not as an afterthought. We understand how large language models process and tokenise content, how knowledge graphs connect entities and how to architect pages so AI systems can extract and cite your information reliably.
Most SEO agencies will optimise your content. We optimise the content and the underlying technical infrastructure - because both matter for AI visibility. Our software development team and SEO team work together, not in separate silos.
White-hat SEO that survives algorithm updates and builds genuine authority over time.
Our approach builds genuine authority that compounds over time, so your rankings strengthen with each algorithm update rather than slipping. When Google rolls out a change, you've nothing to fear and no penalty risk from shortcuts.
Clear, honest reports with dashboard access so you can verify everything yourself.
We report in plain English on the metrics that move your business - rankings, traffic, leads and revenue. You get direct dashboard access to verify everything yourself.
Published pricing that fits the UK SME budget sweet spot - no hidden fees, no surprise invoices.
Most UK SMEs spend somewhere between £500 and £1.5k per month on SEO. Our pricing starts from £750/mo - right in that range, with everything included. We publish our prices because we think you deserve to know what you're getting into before you pick up the phone.
We're a bespoke software development company, not just a marketing agency. That means genuine technical depth.
Diagnosing a technical SEO problem is one thing; fixing it is another. As software engineers, we do both - from JavaScript rendering to server configuration, the fixes get implemented in-house, with nothing waiting on a third party.
Most SEO agencies hide their pricing or say "POA". We'd rather be upfront. So here's exactly what we charge:
£397
One-off audit covering technical issues, content gaps, backlink profile and competitor analysis with actionable recommendations.
From £750/mo
Keyword research, on-page optimisation, regular content, link building, technical fixes, competitor tracking and dashboard access. 3-month initial, then month-to-month.
From £500/mo
46% of searches have local intent, and 76% of people who search nearby visit a business within 24 hours. We optimise your Google Business Profile, build consistent citations across UK directories and create local content that puts you in the map pack.
Industry standard is 6-12 month contracts. We recommend just 3 months initially - enough time to show meaningful progress. After that, you're month-to-month with 30 days' notice. We earn your continued business by delivering results.
FirstPageSage's benchmarks put the median three-year SEO ROI at 748% - and unlike paid ads, that value compounds. Your cost per lead tends to fall over time as your authority builds, whereas paid ads stop the moment you stop paying.

Book a free callDigital marketing can feel overwhelming and overpriced. We're built to be the opposite - simple, transparent and straight with you. Here's what you can count on:
We set honest, achievable targets from the start and report real progress every month. Anyone promising "page one in 30 days" is either lying or using risky tactics that get sites penalised.
We ask for a 3-month initial period because SEO takes time to compound, then you're month-to-month with 30 days' notice. We earn your continued business by delivering results.
Our reports answer the questions that matter: are more people finding you, and is it turning into enquiries and revenue? Clear language and real outcomes - not 40 pages of "crawl budget" and "bounce rate" charts.
You get full access to Google Search Console, your analytics dashboards and everything we produce - so you can verify our work any time, and take your data with you if you ever move on. It's yours.
We build authority through genuine outreach and digital PR. Where modern digital PR involves a legitimate placement budget, we're completely transparent about where it goes - and we never touch private blog networks, link farms or keyword stuffing.
The people who plan your strategy are the same people who do the work. No meeting a senior consultant during the pitch, then having your account handed to someone who started last month.
Every sector has different SEO challenges. Here's where we have the deepest experience.
JavaScript-heavy sites built with React or Vue can take significantly longer for Google to render and index. We handle server-side rendering, fix crawlability issues and build full-funnel content strategies for your sales cycle. FirstPageSage reports an average 702% three-year SEO ROI for technology companies.
Law firms, accountants and consultancies operate under strict regulatory guidelines for marketing claims. We build E-E-A-T authority that satisfies both Google and your professional body. High client lifetime values mean even a handful of new clients from SEO delivers strong returns.
Product pages, faceted navigation and duplicate content from filters create technical headaches most marketing agencies can't solve. We fix the technical foundations and integrate your product data with Google Merchant Center for maximum visibility across search features.
Health content gets extra scrutiny from Google under YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) rules. We build content that meets medical accuracy standards, satisfies advertising regulations and ranks well locally - where the Google Map Pack captures around 40% of local-search clicks.
B2B buying committees average 10-11 stakeholders, each with different concerns. We create content that speaks to technical evaluators, financial decision-makers and end users separately, mapping your SEO strategy to the full buyer journey rather than just top-of-funnel awareness.
These are the sectors we work with most, but good SEO principles apply everywhere. If your industry isn't listed here, give us a shout - we'll have an honest conversation about whether we can help.
We start with a thorough audit of your current site - technical issues, content gaps, backlink profile and competitive positioning.
Based on your audit and business goals, we create a tailored SEO strategy with clear priorities, realistic timelines and measurable targets.
We execute the strategy with proactive communication. You'll hear from us when things improve - not just when you chase us.
We track results, analyse what's working and continuously optimise. Monthly reports keep you informed and in control.
White-hat SEO follows search engine guidelines and focuses on genuine value. BrightEdge research puts the return at around £22 for every £1 invested:
We only use techniques we'd be happy to explain to Google directly.
Black-hat SEO techniques - like spammy link farms, keyword stuffing or private blog networks - might boost rankings temporarily. But when Google catches on (and they always do), the consequences are severe:
When a penalty comes, recovery can take months - if it comes at all.
There's a real difference between hiring a marketing agency to do your SEO and working with a technology consultancy that has SEO expertise built in.
| Traditional SEO agency | Separate dev agency | Red Eagle Tech | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Technical SEO issues found | Sends you a PDF to give to your developers | Can fix code but doesn't understand SEO context | Diagnoses AND fixes in-house |
| Website performance | Recommends speed improvements | Builds fast sites without SEO input | Builds fast, SEO-ready sites from the ground up |
| AI & GEO optimisation | Content-only approach | Can implement but lacks SEO strategy | Content strategy + technical implementation together |
| Schema & structured data | Basic templates | Custom development possible | SEO-informed, developer-quality implementation |
| When SEO reveals a bigger problem | "That's outside our scope" | "We can build it but don't know SEO" | Single team handles SEO, web design and development |
70% of B2B marketers say SEO drives more sales than PPC - and the numbers bear it out:
5-10×
Typical three-year return from a well-run SEO programme - the value compounds (FirstPageSage)
~2×
Return on Google Ads spend - about £2 back per £1, and it resets the moment you stop (WebFX)
2.4%
Organic search's conversion rate - nearly double paid search's 1.3% (FatJoe)
| SEO | PPC (Google Ads) | |
|---|---|---|
| When you stop paying | Traffic declines gradually over months | Traffic stops immediately |
| Cost per lead over time | Decreases as authority builds | Stays the same or increases as ad costs keep rising |
| Time to results | 3-6 months for initial results | Immediate |
| Builds lasting asset? | Yes - content and authority persist | No - zero lasting value when spend stops |
This isn't to say PPC is bad - it works well for immediate visibility while SEO builds momentum. The best strategies use both. But if you can only invest in one long-term channel, SEO delivers more for your money. Our SEO pricing guide goes deeper into this comparison.

SEO is not a quick fix - anyone promising first-page rankings in 30 days is either lying or using risky tactics. The timeline depends on your starting position, competition level and how aggressively we can implement changes. We'll set realistic expectations during our initial audit and keep you updated on progress monthly. Our SEO pricing guide includes a detailed timeline breakdown.
We hear this a lot - and it's a legitimate concern. Many businesses have been burned by SEO agencies that over-promised and under-delivered.
Before we propose anything, we want to understand what specifically went wrong. Was the previous agency using black-hat tactics that led to penalties? Did they fail to communicate or report properly? Were expectations unrealistic from the start? Understanding why your previous experience failed helps us ensure we don't repeat those mistakes. We're also happy to offer a 3-month trial period so you can evaluate our work before committing long-term.
White-hat SEO follows search engine guidelines and builds genuine authority. Black-hat SEO tries to manipulate rankings through deceptive tactics.
Black-hat techniques include manipulative link schemes, keyword stuffing, cloaking and private blog networks. They might work temporarily, but Google's algorithms are increasingly sophisticated at detecting manipulation. When caught, sites face severe penalties including complete removal from search results. We only use white-hat techniques - it takes longer, but the results last. Our SEO pricing guide covers the real cost difference between white-hat and black-hat approaches.
Through high-quality content, digital PR, genuine outreach and strategic partnerships - never through spammy link farms or private networks.
We create content worth linking to, then reach out to relevant publications and journalists who might find it valuable. We pursue guest posting opportunities on reputable sites and look for broken link opportunities where we can provide better resources. The reality of modern SEO is that securing placements on premium, high-authority websites sometimes involves an editorial or placement budget. When funding is involved in genuine placements, we are completely transparent with you about where that budget goes. We focus on building real brand authority rather than accumulating low-quality spam links.
No - and we'd encourage caution with any agency that does. No one can guarantee specific rankings because no agency controls Google's algorithms.
What we can guarantee is transparent, ethical work following proven best practices. We'll set realistic targets based on your industry and competition, report honestly on progress and continuously optimise based on results. Promising guaranteed first-page rankings often leads to disappointment or the use of risky, short-term tactics that can do more harm than good.
Monthly reports covering rankings, traffic, leads and ROI - explained in plain English, not SEO jargon. Plus dashboard access for independent verification.
We track the metrics that matter: keyword rankings, organic traffic, conversions and revenue attribution where possible. Each report includes what we did that month, what results we're seeing, any issues that need addressing and our priorities for the coming month. You also get direct access to analytics dashboards so you can verify everything we report - we believe transparency builds trust.
We track organic traffic, keyword rankings, leads and revenue attribution - then compare the value generated against what you're investing.
The simple version: if your monthly SEO retainer is £750 and organic search brings in £5,000 of new business that month, your ROI is clear. We set up proper tracking from day one so you can see exactly which enquiries and sales come from organic search. Research shows SEO delivers a median 748% ROI over three years, with cost per lead declining over time as your site builds authority. We'll show you the real numbers each month - and if they're not where we expected, we'll tell you why and what we're doing about it.
GEO is the practice of optimising your content so that AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Claude cite and recommend your business in their responses.
Traditional SEO gets you ranking in Google's list of ten blue links. GEO goes further - it makes sure your business appears when someone asks an AI assistant "who offers the best SEO services near me?" or "which UK companies can help with my website?" The techniques are different: entity optimisation, structured data designed for AI extraction, content architecture that LLMs can parse and trust, and building authority signals across the platforms AI systems draw from. Over 16 million people in the UK now use ChatGPT regularly, so being invisible to AI search means missing a growing share of your potential customers.
Yes - and the good news is that much of the groundwork overlaps. Strong traditional SEO gives you a solid base for AI visibility too.
Traditional Google search still drives the majority of web traffic and won't disappear. But AI-powered search is growing rapidly: around 65% of Google searches now end without a click (up from 56% in 2024), partly because AI Overviews answer the question directly. The businesses winning in 2026 are visible in both channels. We build strategies that cover traditional rankings AND AI citation, so you're not choosing one or the other. As a technology consultancy, we handle both the content side (what you say) and the technical side (how your site communicates with AI systems) in-house.
There's no AI surcharge with us. GEO and AEO are built into our standard SEO from £750/mo - the same published price, whether or not AI visibility is part of your plan.
Across the UK market, dedicated AI SEO and GEO retainers typically start around £1,600 a month and climb from there, and a growing number of agencies now fold AI optimisation into their normal retainers rather than charging extra - because in 2026 it's essential, not a bolt-on. At the budget end, treat £99/mo "AI SEO" offers with caution: that's usually ordinary SEO dressed up with AI-flavoured marketing, not a genuine generative-engine programme. As a technology consultancy, we treat structured data, entity optimisation and AI-readable content as part of the engineering we'd do anyway - so you get traditional rankings and AI citation without paying twice. Our SEO pricing guide breaks the numbers down in full.
Yes - we function as a complete technology partner, not just an SEO agency. That means we can help well beyond just your website.
Many SEO problems start with how a website was built. We offer web design services and can ensure your site is built with SEO best practices from day one. But if your SEO strategy uncovers a need for bespoke software development, system integrations or reliable IT operations to keep everything running smoothly, our engineering team is ready to help. Having one team handle your technology and SEO together means better integration and faster results. See our guide to website costs in the UK for transparent pricing.
