Professional SEO services for Runcorn businesses who need to rank in search

As search changes and Google has to consider voice and semantic search, traditional searches like ‘SEO Runcorn become quite old fashioned.

Traditionally, it’s just a search phrase that someone is likely to type into a search engine such as Google when they are looking for a business who provide SEO or Search Engine Optimisation services or even a Search Engine Consultant in the Runcorn area.

But is this completely necessary these days?

It surely won’t come as a big surprise that this phrase is not typed into search engines that often, as it is quite a specific search query.

If you have found this page then the chances are that you are based in or around Runcorn and are looking for a company that can help you with SEO in the local area. Or maybe you are just curious about SEO?

Interestingly enough the way search engines deliver their results may be completely different to the way you think they do.

For example, do you know that the search you are doing now and the one someone does in the next street to you may bring back completely different results, even though you may both search for exactly the same thing?

So if you search for SEO Runcorn and the business next door searches for SEO Runcorn then you may well see slightly different results.

You might also find that the image on this page is on the ‘images’ search on Google for SEO Runcorn, not because it represents SEO in Runcorn but more because we’ve tagged it as such. It’s actually a Royal Tern but you can imagine it flying over Runcorn Bridge, at a push…

The reason is quite simple. Search Engines these days don’t just serve you a result based on the words you type in, they use a range of other factors.

For example, Google uses factors such as where you are located based on your IP address, your previous search history and whether you have visited a particular website before, how often you make the search, when you last made the search and what device you are searching on to name a few.

On top of this, it can pull in additional information if you are logged into your Google account as it can see whether you have sent or received any emails from any of the web addresses which are in their search result and if you have it may choose to push that particular website higher in your search result.

Yes, it does.

Google’s search results are often device specific so if you are using a PC or an iMac it will take your IP address as the location unless you’re signed in to your Google account in which case it may well know exactly where you are.

For example, if you have an Android tablet or mobile you have to sign in to your Google account to use them so it can often place you exactly based on GPS coordinates.

All of this means that what was a simple search query for SEO Runcorn has now turned into a challenge for Google and as its main driver is to provide you, the end user, with the very best search result it can use any and all information available to do this and to give you the answer.

Actually Google is now assuming that you won’t include that information. In October 2014 Google released a change to the algorithm in the UK which was dubbed the ‘Pigeon’ update.

What this did was it started to use the signals we talked about earlier to include more locally based results in broad queries.

So for example, if you search for ‘cake shop’ right now wherever you are then there is a very good chance that you will see a local cake shop in the ten organic results that appear. Of course, as Google doesn’t know whether you want to find a local cake shop, know what a cake shop is, find an album or band called ‘cake shop’ or search for a programming update called cake shop it may well include any or all of the other results.

You can further confuse the search engines by doing the search on your mobile whilst on a train. I did this recently and it returned a cake shop near my house, based on Google knowing where I live, a couple in Oxfordshire, based on my location whilst on the train, and a couple in Liverpool and Manchester, based on where I had been in recent weeks.

So whilst searchers are inherently lazy (that’s you and me by the way, sorry about that) search engines will continue to try and find a way to get the result we are really looking for by using additional information to help them best guess our intent.

Ironically though as they get better we get lazier and so when you’re looking for your local tyre depot, plumber or bouncy castle supplier in Runcorn you no longer have to put in the word Runcorn, although it might help.

Aqueous Digital are a family-run digital marketing and SEO agency.  We specialise in organic and paid internet searchSearch Engine Optimisation, website content strategy and reputation management for ultra-high net worth individuals.

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 approach was prompted by an observation that some companies in the sector were misleading customers, over-promising, spreading unfounded myths about SEO, and delivering sub-standard customer service. We set out to be different.

Now in our eleventh year, those core values are as central to our ethos as they have ever been. We stand by our caring, down-to-earth, ethical approach to business, but this doesn’t just apply to our customers; we carry this through to how we treat our employees, too.

Our specialism in search and reputation management is an essential part of our success. We now partner with a wide range of customers across many sectors and countries, but remain true to our ethical values. If there is an obvious clash of interest, we won’t take on more than one customer in the same industry – this is a promise we make at the outset of every customer collaboration.

Despite the recent economic and social challenges, our business is continuing to go from strength to strength. We recently won Best Small Integrated Search Agency at the prestigious UK Search Awards 2020, Best Small Integrated Search Agency at the European Search Awards 2021, Best Global Small Integrated Search Agency at the Global Search Awards, Best Small Integrated Digital Agency at the UK Growth Awards 2021 and best Family Business at the UK Business Awards 2022.

We also recently won best low-budget campaign at the Global Excellence Awards 2021 for our work with our customer, ScratchSleeves.

Our proven paid and organic search strategies will provide your business with a framework to drive enquires, growth and increase turnover.

Frequently Asked Questions

We specialise in search engine optimisation (SEO), website content strategy, online marketing strategy and reputation management for high-net-worth-individuals. And the awards we are winning suggest that this strategy is working.

We work across all sectors.  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.

Our main offices are in Sutton Weaver, Cheshire, UK

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

There comes a point were it is can be better to hire in house, but in our experience that only happens when your annual spend 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.

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 buzz word, so we’re well versed in what it takes to make your website rank.

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.

We offer a range of SEO and digital marketing services, starting at £1,500 +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.

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

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 sub-contracting some services without your knowledge. We are different, we specialise in search and reputation management exclusively.

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.

Yes, we offer a free audit of your website. Contact us today to arrange yours.

We use a range of specialist professional writers with knowledge of a wide range of sectors. Plus, it all starts with you. We create the strategy, based on you on boarding call, and then produce content that we all agree will drive the right traffic to your website.

SEO is a medium to long term strategy and typically take at least six months before you start to see a tangible return, though sometimes, depending on what you are targeting, this can be quicker.

We provide all our SEO services in-house and only outsource copywriting to select associates—this allows us to use the very best professional writers available.

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.

Aqueous Digital operates internationally.  We are able to deliver all our services remotely over the phone, via email and conference calls. We do love to meet up with our customers for a chat face-to face-too, so this is always an option for every customer.

We’ll give you monthly update reports on the progress of your online growth. This will be written in plain English, with no geek speak or marketing jargon and we’ll always be available at the end of the phone or email to answer your questions or talk about next steps.
