We’re Not Like Other SEO Agencies

If as a business you’ve worked with numerous digital marketing agencies to drive up search engine rankings – you’ve probably seen the same thing over and over again – simply repackaged under a different brand name.

“We’re award winning”, “Google partner agency” or ranking guarantees (which is unethical) – you will see the same things in search engine marketing over and over again.

Audit, Fix On Site, Content, Links.

But the reality of SEO is very different – it’s about creating the right offering for end users to convert, to engage and to have a positive user experience. Search engines seek to reward content more on the basis of quality factors and how users react to it.

Modern search i.e. Google looks at thousands of interconnected SEO factors – which, post the “big data warehouse leak” showed how things such as user behaviour help to influence positive rankings.

At Assertive, we adopt our methodologies and “what’s right” from our testing methodologies.

  • Shortened Time to Rank Timeframes
  • Reduced Spend
  • Reduce Wastage
  • Streamlined ERP
  • Structured SEO Strategy
  • Clear KPIs & Goals
  • More Effective Organic Growth
  • Compliant, Ethical SEO
  • Transparent Project Management

We teach & train SEO in-house (and clients too)

We’ve refined our SEO service delivery by comprehensive in house training. We teach everything from how to use Google search console through to understanding end user intent, auditing content, fixing rendering issues and more.

We also teach and train clients so that clients can improve efficiency from their side – for example, we help clients to produce better content that ranks higher & converts more.

Our seo is more effective because we train / upskill and share findings internally. We also encourage our staff/team to run their own projects so they can learn further.

Proprietary SEO SaaS & Processes

We’re obsessed with results and to achieve that we rely on first party data. We rebuilt Google Search Console & built a suite of tools that allow us to better understand how Google responds to changes made be it techincal/on site changes, canonicals, internal links, structured data, rendering, content, external links – whatever we do we have a system to test & measure impact.

SEO stack helps us with query counting, big data modelling & data analysis to deliver more effective SEO.

We don’t just employ anyone

We’ve worked hard to refine our recruitment process so that we find SEOs who tick all the right boxes. A good team is one with a well balanced cultural alignment, a strong determination to get things done, learn & to be an effective communicator.

Just because someone has “SEO expert” or “SEO Specialist” as a title doesn’t make them one – we recognise talent & that’s why as an agency we’ve scaled slowly.

Our team are highly skilled & help to drive strong growth for clients.

We don’t just employ anyone

The Process

SEO Campaigns – The Process

  1. 01

    Thinking of working with Assertive for your SEO service?

  2. 02

    Kicking off, we begin researching your business, offering and objectives to prepare and hone a strategy that’ll align with goals. Identifying & researching target keywords forms part of the initial strategy, but also understanding motives & search intent behind selected keywords. Following on, we’ll identify & understand the competitor landscape to see what successful competitors are doing & to understand how they’ve invested in their SEO services.

  3. 03

    Improving a websites technical profile might be a key part of an SEO campaign, but, building landing pages tailored for the end users is absolutely fundamental. Our content marketing & SEO specialists work together to produce new content & landing page architecture that’ll help to drive better search intent & relevancy for end users/website visitors. Integrating keyword research data, each page is carefully tailored to meet the needs of your potential customers.

  4. 04

    From canonical tags to page speed our technical SEO team will address all issues relating to a websites structure, performance & configuration. Combining technical fixes with modern technological improvements will allow us to leverage significant performance increases from improved page speed scores to improved above the fold rendering. Every facet of on site SEO will be addressed, ensuring your website conforms to all modern best practices/standards. Improved site architecture & meta data will encourage higher click through rates whilst landing page optimisation will improve mobile-first & desktop user experience.

  5. 05

    Imagine what significant improvements to user retention, engagement & conversion would do for your business. The combination of powerful A/B testing platforms with heat, click & scrollmaps & enhanced Google platform integration will allow our user experience optimisation team to collect powerful data & insights about how people use & engage with your website. Data like this offers unprecedented opportunities for our team to run A/B tests, landing page experiments & personalisation to increase conversion rates, average session duration & to lower bounce rate / POGOing back to Google.

  6. 06

    The crux of SEO and perhaps one SEO factor with sheer longevity, link building. Utilising highly refined link building strategies, domain authority growth is a byproduct of exceptional, white-hat, above-board process. Highly relevant, trusted, Google Penguin compliant link building runs throughout the life-cycle of any SEO campaign to help sustain & grow domain authority and trust.

What are SEO Services?

SEO (search engine optimisation) is generally the term given to a packaged service that incorporates various sub-services such as SEO auditing, technical SEO fixes, content production and link building.

SEO Services can be delivered on a monthly rolling retainer basis (where each month you are billed for SEO work) where everything that's needed to rank is handled by the agency, or, SEO services can be defined by a sub-set of specific services which generally include on-site SEO (technical SEO, content production, rendering, indexing etc.) off-site SEO (link building, review building, brand authority building) or specific tasks i.e. SEO consultancy, SEO auditing etc.

Generally, when most people refer to “SEO services” it's usually when an agency handles everything - which is what we do here at Assertive.

How much does SEO Cost in the UK?

This is an incredibly broad question as it really depends on the type of SEO i.e. local SEO, nationwide SEO or niche specific SEO i.e. healthcare SEO - the pricing also depends on whether you get an SEO consultant or whether you go for an agency (based on size).

SEO costs are extremely broad, but, on average small businesses can expect to pay £500–£1000 a month for SEO - typically for things such as local SEO. Medium sized businesses or businesses in regulated niches should typically expect to pay between £2000–£5000 a month.

Larger businesses or businesses in hyper-competitive sectors such as casino or nationwide retail should expect to budget £10,000 to £25,000 a month.

Local SEO services cost from around £500 on average with £1000 being the upper end. Nationwide SEO services cost from £2000 onwards typically.

SEO agencies typically charge between £200–£400 per hour, sometimes more depending on the size of the agency.

SEO consultants typically charge £100+ per hour with high level senior consultants charging anywhere from £250–£500 per hour.

SEO and AI Search

Are SEO Services worth it anymore with AI search?

Absolutely, even though AI search (or LLM searches) have seen significant growth in the last 3–4 years, the aggregated marketshare of searches in AI are still marginal compared to the number of searches on Google daily. Not only that, but the general consensus is, if your website does better in Google organic, it has a higher probability of being cited in platforms such as Google's AI overviews or AI mode or Gemini or in other platforms such as Claude, chatGPT, Perplexity, GROK etc.

SEO Services are worth it and remain important to drive up organic traffic and subsequently revenue - they may also support AI visibility growth too.

How long does it take to start seeing results from monthly SEO services?

Results can vary significantly depending on your website's pre-existing organic performance as well as lots of other factors such as brand and domain authority. Typically, most clients can expect to see a change in organic visibility between months 3–6, this can of course happen sooner or later depending. There are other factors that can impact on timeframe to see impact such as whether Google rolls out any core updates or whether your website has any pre-existing issues preventing ranking/visibility growth - typically we give clients a summary of our thoughts on how long it will take to see results post SEO audit.
