Questions

What does SEO stand for?

Search Engine Optimisation.  If you’d like to rank highly on Google search pages, we can help.

Because people ask questions every day. They type them into search engines and expect the right result. That can only happen if the search engines can find the right answer. We help you create the right answers.

The very best content strategies are those that focus on getting you noticed in the searches that bring the best customers to your website. In short, it’s not about being popular or following the latest trend, it’s about relevance, accessibility and being there when customers need you.

The good news is that we’ve worked on content strategies since before it became a buzzword, so we’re well versed in what it takes to make your website rank.

We work in partnership with a number of trusted partners who are able to build and design a website to your specifications/budget and ensure it is full optimised for ongoing SEO work.

Yes

Yes, of course, but we will require access to your website to optimise it and make technical enhancements and upload content.

This will vary but most Google Ad campaigns usually requires around 2-3 months to optimise because there won’t be any previous data or performance history. Although Google will optimise your campaign in around 7 days, the most useful data comes directly from your campaign performance. It takes time for your campaign to generate data, especially if the size of your audience is small.

Yes. We have helped many customers overcome the challenges of Google penalties.  Find out how we helped one customer with this very problem here.

Most commonly our contracts are 12 months, but this can vary depending on the work being delivered. We guarantee that within the first few months, you’ll know whether you like us or not. Within six months you’ll start to see some real traction and results. And within a year, you’ll know why you came to us.

There are many agencies out there who will claim to be ‘full service’ and jack of all trades.  In our experience, this is very rarely the case. They will generally have strong skill sets in some areas, but weaker delivery in other areas.  They will claim to be able to deliver all services, but will be subcontracting some services without your knowledge. We are different, we specialise in search and reputation management exclusively.

Aqueous Digital is an independent family-run business.  We are a limited company. Registration number in England and Wales is: 05604273

Our main offices are in Sutton Weaver, Cheshire, UK. We have virtual satellite offices in London, and Liverpool and we are in the process of establishing a third virtual satellite office in Murcia in Spain in 2021.

Aqueous Digital was founded in 2011, by Jonathan Guy and his wife Emma.  We set out with a clear vision to provide a different type of digital marketing service: a service based entirely on trust, loyalty, and collaboration (TLC).

This is a good question. There comes a point where it is can be better to hire in house, but in our experience that only happens when your annual spends on SEO exceeds £70,000 (excluding outreach and ad spend).

Using a third party agency brings huge advantages, such as a whole team of specialists with up-to-date knowledge of digital marketing and the latest trends and advances in search technology, rather than one person trying to keep up with it all. Also, one person in house gets calling into meetings, can go off sick and requires at least a month off every year.

With Aqueous you get a team, not a person. You get experience across a range of sectors, not just your sector and as we invest in training and development, you get better people, delivering more value, more often to your business.

As well as removing the risks of recruiting the right person, we’re also likely to be far cheaper than hiring in-house and most importantly we are an agency you can trust.  Trust Loyalty and Collaboration (TLC) are at the heart of our operations, and we place the success of our customers at the forefront of everything we do.

Absolutely not. We always adopt ethical and ‘white hat’ practices when it comes to digital marketing, search engine optimisation, content production, reputation management and link building.  Quick fixes and artificial boosts are simply a waste of your time, and just not our style.

It is possible to get to ‘number one’ for a keyword within a few weeks, but if it is a particularly competitive keyword then the only way to do this is to cheat the Search engines. Some firms find this an acceptable solution, but as the Search Engines always catch up with this and penalise the site, it is short-sighted and ineffective strategy and not one we pursue.

Yes, we are committed to being a socially responsible company throughout all our operations. We strongly stand by on our open, honest and ethical culture, and we carry this through to everything we do.  View our CSR Policy webpage for more details.

No. There are some sectors which we won’t work with on ethical grounds, but as long the work aligns with our Corporate Social Responsibly (CSR) and Ethical Policy, we can help.

Yes, please get in touch to discuss your requirements. You can also view an overview of these services within our SEO services pages.

It’s hard to be precise as our customer base increase every month, and has done for many years. Currently, in 2021, we are dealing with around 100 customers requirements every month, across a range of sectors and countries.

We work across almost all sectors (with the exception of businesses that don’t align to our CSR and Ethical Policy).  If your business relies on your customers finding you through online search, we can help you grow your business and drive more traffic to your website. Contact us today to find out how we could help your business.

We offer a range of SEO and digital marketing services, starting at £1000 +VAT per month. Depending on needs, we have a range of packages to suit most growing businesses. Contact us directly for a no obligation quote and a free audit of your website.
