A UK SEO agency measured in enquiries.
We get UK businesses found on Google and in AI answers — and turn that into enquiries. Every month you’ll see what we did and what it changed, in plain English. From £495 a month, and you can leave whenever you like.

For businesses that run on enquiries
Trades, clinics, consultancies, online shops, B2B firms. If new customers start by searching for what you do, this is for you — especially if the last agency left you none the wiser.
- ✓Your organic traffic has dropped or gone flat. You are under pressure to explain why, and to say what comes next.
- ✓You rank well on Google. But you are missing from AI Overviews, ChatGPT and other AI tools, where more buyers now start.
- ✓You have SEO work in progress. But you have no fast, reliable way to keep up as search changes.
Before they call you, they search
Nobody rings you first. They look you up. They compare three or four names, read what other people said, and only then decide who to contact. By the time your phone rings, the shortlist has already been made — and most of the businesses that wanted the job never got onto it. Search is where that shortlist gets built.
This is why search is the channel with the best long-term value. The visitors are people who already want what you sell. And the work keeps paying you back long after you publish it. A good page can bring enquiries for years. A paid ad stops the day you stop paying.
The catch is that search is now harder and wider than before. You have to show up on Google and in AI answers. You have to be fast, clear and trusted. That is the work we do, in the order most likely to bring you enquiries.
There is a second reason to act now. AI tools are still new for most businesses. Few have set their site up for them yet. That gap is an opening. The firms that prepare early get named first when a buyer asks an AI tool for a recommendation. We help you take that spot before your competitors do. The same work lifts your Google rankings too. So you gain on both fronts at once. None of it needs a separate, complex plan. It comes from doing the basics well: a clear site, clean facts, real reviews and useful content.
We get you found, then chosen
Digital Movement UK does four things: SEO, AI search optimisation, paid ads and CRM. Most clients start with SEO from £495 a month and add the others when they will bring or convert more enquiries. Every month you get a report naming the work done, what changed on Google and in AI answers, and how many enquiries came from search — and the first review is yours to keep even if you never hire us.
Talk to an SEO specialistA note from our founder
I started Digital Movement in 2018 because too many good businesses were paying for work they never saw. So we built the agency around one habit: explain everything, in words you’d use yourself. Some months the news is better than others — you’ll hear it either way. If that’s how you’d like to work, I’d be glad to hear from you.
— Raoul, founder
You work with a senior person
The person who reviews your site plans the work. There is no hand-off to a junior who quietly does it. You get direct access to the person responsible for your results. You can reach me between monthly reports, any time you need to.
We get the basics right
Most SEO fails on the basics. Pages Google cannot read. Thin content. Slow templates. Weak local signals. We fix these first, because they bring the quickest wins. Then we build on a clean base.
We work to one number: your enquiries
Rankings and traffic are a means to an end. We report how many real enquiries the work brought. Each one is tied to its source. So you can see which work pays for itself.
Google still matters. AI now matters too
Google and AI assistants now answer the same buying question in two places. Google puts an AI Overview above the blue links; ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity name a handful of businesses directly, without a results page at all. Digital Movement UK works on both, because the evidence behind them is the same evidence.
For years, being found meant ranking on Google. That still matters. But Google now answers many questions at the top with an AI Overview. And more people ask an AI tool for a recommendation. These tools name a few businesses. If yours is not one of them, you are missing buyers at the moment they decide.
The good news is simple. AI search uses the same base as Google ranking: pages it can read, clear answers, matching business details, real reviews, and trusted mentions. We build that base once, so you show up in both places as buyers move to AI.
This also raises the value of trust. An AI tool only names a business it can verify. So real reviews, matching details and a clear site matter more now than ever. We build for both fronts from the start. The work you put into being found keeps working as more buyers move to AI tools.

GEO (AI search optimisation)
GEO stands for generative engine optimisation. It is the work of getting a business named and linked in the answers AI tools give — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Buyers ask those tools for a recommendation, and GEO is what makes a business one of the few they name. Our AI search optimisation service sets out that work in full.
What does AI search visibility look like in practice?
A buyer asks ChatGPT, "who is a good SEO agency in Leeds?" It names three firms. If your site has clear answers, real reviews, and matching details, you can be one of the three. If not, you are left out of that answer.
What a month with us looks like
No mystery retainer. Every month has planned work, finished work, and a short note on what changed and why — you always know where the money went.
Find where buyers search
We find the searches your buyers make, on Google and on AI tools. We group them by what the buyer wants. We weigh each group by how likely it is to bring an enquiry. High-value pages come first, so you see results sooner.
Fix the base and build the pages
We fix the technical issues that block Google and AI. We clear indexing problems, slow pages and weak internal links. Then we build the pages that can rank for those searches.
Be easy to understand and cite
We help Google and AI tools understand what you do and who you help. Clear answers, clean details and schema make you easy to quote. We keep your business facts the same on every page and listing.
Earn trust from other sites
We earn links and mentions from real publications and local sites. We earn them with useful content and outreach. This lets you compete in harder markets. AI tools also trust you more when real sites point to you.
Measure and adjust
We track rankings, AI answers, traffic and enquiries. Each month we report what changed in clear words. We tie each enquiry to the page and search that brought it. Then we choose the next move with you.
Two dentists, one search, very different results
Two practices, the same search. One keeps coming up. One barely appears. The gap is measurable, and Semrush shows exactly where it sits.
A London dental practice
Single-site clinic
- 14authority score · average
- 0AI search visibility
- 168referring domains
- Loworganic traffic to the site
This practice sits on page six for “dentist London” with an AI search visibility score of 0, so it appears neither in the first results nor in AI answers. Those enquiries go to the practices above it.
Bupa Dental
National dental brand
- 71authority score · industry leader
- 81AI search visibility
- 21.5Kreferring domains
- 2.4Morganic visits a month
Bupa holds top-three positions across thousands of dental searches and takes 2.4 million organic visits a month. That position was built on 21,500 referring domains earned over two decades — the part of the gap that money alone cannot shortcut.
Two very different traffic curves
Figures from Semrush, UK database, collected 18 June 2026 for bupa.co.uk and a single-site London dental practice. Read the summary of the Bupa SEO teardown for the full findings, the method and its limitations.
Martey Quaye
Martey co-leads Digital Movement. He sets the growth strategy and keeps every account aimed at one thing: more good enquiries. He stays close to client work, so the plan always matches the goal and the next move is clear.
Raoul (Alex) Müller
Raoul co-leads Digital Movement and runs the work itself. He does the audits, sets the search plan and looks after how you show up in AI answers. He writes the monthly report too, so when you call, you speak to the person doing the work.
What happens in the first 90 days
Days 1 to 30 — Audit and diagnose
We review your technical health, your content, your links, your local signals, and your AI visibility. We find where you are losing ground and which wins come fastest. You get a clear plan before any work starts.
Days 31 to 60 — Fix and build
We clear the blockers first: indexing, speed, weak pages, missing schema, broken redirects. Then we build or improve the pages most likely to bring enquiries, and start the local work.
Days 61 to 90 — Grow and report
We earn authority, sharpen the content, and improve your AI visibility. The first enquiries usually come in. You get a report that ties the work to results, with the next steps set out.
What your monthly fee covers
Everything below comes with the plan — no add-ons, no surprise invoices. If something isn’t worth doing for your business, we’ll say so and put the time where it counts. Each one is explained in more depth on our SEO services page.
Keyword research and strategy
We map the searches your buyers make. We check search demand and run competitor analysis to find the keywords and gaps you can win. We group searches by what the buyer wants: a quick question, a comparison, a local provider, a price check. We weigh each group by how likely it is to bring an enquiry. Then we pick the high-value pages to build first.
Technical SEO
We make sure Google and AI can read, render and trust your site. We fix indexing problems first. A page Google cannot reach cannot rank. We improve site speed and Core Web Vitals, mostly on mobile. We tidy up URLs, internal links, redirects and the sitemap. We add schema so machines understand each page. This work is quiet, and it often brings the quickest early wins.
On-page SEO and content
We give each page a clear title, description and headings. We add internal links to the pages that matter. We write content for the buyer's decision. Each money page should stand on its own. Around each money page we build guides and comparison pages. That gives the site real depth on a topic — which is also what earns featured snippets and AI answers.
Local SEO
If you serve an area, this is often the fastest route to enquiries. Google shows a map pack of three businesses above the normal results. Those three get most of the local clicks. We improve your Google Business Profile, keep your name, address and phone the same everywhere, earn and reply to reviews, and build local listings and real location pages.
Link building and digital PR
In competitive markets, links decide who wins. We earn links and mentions from real publications and local organisations. We do this with useful content, data and outreach. We aim for links a human editor would choose to give. Those keep their value as Google changes. We avoid cheap links from low-quality networks, which put your site at risk.
AI search (GEO)
More buyers now ask AI tools for a recommendation. We make your business easy for ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to understand and name. This uses the same base as Google ranking: clear answers, clean details, schema, real reviews and trusted mentions. We keep your business facts the same everywhere, so an AI tool can trust what it finds.
On-page vs off-page SEO
- On-page SEO
- Changes on your own site: titles, headings, content, internal links, and speed.
- Off-page SEO
- Trust earned from other sites, mainly links and mentions from places people respect.
What does link building look like in practice?
A roofer is listed in the local paper's "best trades" round-up. The article links to their site. Google sees a trusted site vouch for them. That one link helps them rank for "roofer" in their town.
A report you’ll actually read
SEO is only worth doing if it brings customers. So we measure it that way. Each month you get a short report. It shows rankings for the terms that matter. It shows traffic to the pages that earn enquiries. It shows the enquiries the work brought. Each enquiry is tied to the page and search that created it.
We set up clean tracking in Google Analytics and Search Console. That keeps the numbers honest. We also track your presence in AI answers, next to your Google rankings. Buyers now use both, so we watch both.
We watch the early signals too. Rising impressions on commercial terms. Better rankings around a money page. More mentions in AI answers. These tell us a trend is coming, so we can act early. The report ends with a short, clear list of what we will do next.
| What we track | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Rankings and AI answers | Where you show up for the searches that bring buyers. |
| Traffic and behaviour | Which pages bring good visitors, and what they do next. |
| Conversions and enquiries | How many visitors become enquiries, tied to the source. |
| Next steps | The plan for the coming month, in clear words. |
The problems we fix first
Most sites that don’t bring enquiries share the same handful of faults. These are the ones we look for on day one, because fixing them moves things fastest.
- Pages Google cannot index, because of a wrong setting or tag.
- Thin service pages that give Google nothing strong to rank.
- Slow pages that fail Core Web Vitals on mobile.
- The same title and description on many pages, which confuses Google.
- Broken redirects left over from old changes.
- Pages that no internal link points to.
- A weak or half-finished Google Business Profile.
- Business details that do not match across the site, the profile and directories.
Each one is small. Each one holds back results. Fixing them often brings the first lift. It also clears the way for the content and links to pay off.
What it costs and how long it takes
SEO with Digital Movement UK starts at £495 a month, month to month, with no lock-in. Beyond that, UK SEO pricing depends on a few honest things. How competitive your market is. How many pages need work. How much old technical debt the site carries. How fast you want to move. A small local campaign needs less work than a national or ecommerce one. So it costs less. A business that wants results quickly puts more into the early months.
We scope the first phase around the work most likely to bring enquiries. We show what each part of the budget buys. The work runs month to month, so you can stop any time. If paid ads or local work would bring enquiries faster while SEO builds, we say so.
On timing, you often see early movement in the first few weeks. That comes from technical fixes and local work. Stronger enquiry growth usually builds over three to six months. The hardest national terms take longer, because they need steady authority. We win the easier terms first. Then we go after the hard ones from a stronger base.
A typical timeline
What does a first 90 days look like in practice?
A plumber comes to us with a slow site and no local listings. In month one we fix the speed and set up the Google Business Profile. By week three a few "emergency plumber" searches start to move. By month three the new service pages rank, and the first steady enquiries come in.
What it’s like to work with us
Your free review
The first step is a free review. We look at where you show up on Google and in AI answers. We check the health of your site. We look at the competitors who win your terms. We tell you the quickest useful moves. You keep that review whether or not you hire us.
The first ten days
When we start, the first ten days are about set-up. We get access to your site, your analytics and your Google Business Profile. We record where you rank today. We agree the first plan with you. There are no surprises about what happens first.
A steady monthly routine
After that, the work settles into a steady monthly routine. Each month has clear output: fixes, pages, links, local work and AI-visibility work. You get the report and the next steps. You can reach us between reports, any time you need us. As results build, we change the mix to whatever brings the next enquiry most cheaply.
One point of contact
You are never passed around. One person owns your account from the first call. You get the same contact every month. When you need a quick answer, you email or call, and you hear back fast. We keep the work visible, so you always know what is in progress and what comes next. We also review the whole plan with you every quarter.
Who this suits — and who it doesn’t
Who it suits
This works for UK businesses that want a steady flow of good enquiries. It suits owner-led firms, trades, clinics, consultancies, ecommerce brands and B2B teams. It suits firms that already know a good enquiry is worth more than cheap clicks. It also suits teams that worked with an agency before and were unsure what was happening. The monthly report fixes that.
Ready to win the work
This works best for businesses that are already good at winning the job once they get the call. SEO shows your business to buyers when they search. The last job is to make those buyers comfortable enough to call. So our work includes the page copy, the proof, the forms and the clear next step. If your offer or pricing is not ready, we say so first. SEO does not rescue a weak offer or slow follow-up.
Honest about timing
It also helps to be honest about timing. SEO is a strong long-term channel. It is not a quick fix. If you need sales this week, paid ads bring enquiries faster, and we will say so. The best results come when you treat SEO as a steady investment. Each month adds a little more: a few strong pages, a few good links, a cleaner site. Over a year, that builds a channel that brings enquiries without paying for every click.
How the four services fit together
One shared job
SEO, AI search, paid ads and CRM share one job: more good enquiries, and more of them turning into sales. Most businesses do not need all four at once. The order matters as much as the services.
The right order for you
A local firm often starts with SEO and local work, then adds paid ads when it wants enquiries fast. An ecommerce brand often starts with technical SEO and content, then adds AI search and links for authority. A firm that already gets enquiries but loses them often starts with a CRM that captures and follows up every enquiry. We help you decide the order in the first review, based on your biggest gap today: getting found, converting, or follow-up.
The full picture
Run together, the four let you see the full picture. What each channel costs. What it brings. Which pound to spend next. We add a service only when it will bring or convert more enquiries. That keeps the spend efficient, and every result clear.
SEO vs paid ads
- SEO
- You earn your place in the free search results. It takes time, then keeps working after the spend.
- Paid ads
- You pay for the top spots. Enquiries come fast, and stop when the budget stops.
Proof, not promises
Every number on this page comes from a real client, published with their permission. We never invent results — if we can’t prove something, we don’t claim it. Our published research follows the same rule.

If your question isn’t here, send it over — someone who does the work will give you a straight answer. We also answer the longer ones in our guides.
What does an SEO agency do?
An SEO agency helps people find your business when they search, then helps turn those visitors into enquiries. The work covers keyword research, technical fixes so Google and AI can read your site, content, local SEO for the map pack, links for authority, and AI search so tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews can recommend you. A good agency shows the plan, does the work each month, and reports the enquiries it brought.
How much does an SEO agency cost in the UK?
Digital Movement UK starts SEO at £495 a month, on a rolling monthly agreement with no lock-in. A small local campaign sits near that figure. A competitive national or ecommerce campaign costs more, because it needs more pages built, more authority work and more technical time, and the exact monthly figure is scoped on the first call.
How long does SEO take to bring enquiries?
You often see early movement within a few weeks after technical fixes and local work. Stronger enquiry growth usually builds over three to six months. The hardest national terms take longer. The monthly report shows what is improving and what comes next, so you can see progress early.
Can you help us show up in AI search like ChatGPT?
Yes. AI search uses the same base as Google ranking: pages it can read, clear answers, matching business details, schema, real reviews, and trusted mentions. We strengthen those so ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can understand your business and name it when buyers ask.
Do you only do SEO, or paid ads and CRM too?
SEO is our core. It works best with three other services. AI search gets you found inside AI tools. Paid ads bring enquiries quickly while SEO builds. CRM makes sure every enquiry is captured and followed up. You can start with SEO and add the rest when they help.
Is SEO worth it for a small business?
SEO is worth it when buyers already search for what you sell and your site can turn visitors into enquiries. It is weaker when the offer is unproven or you need sales this week. We check the market first and suggest the smallest useful first step. We will say so if paid ads or local work would bring enquiries faster.
How is local SEO different from regular SEO?
Standard SEO wins listings across the whole country or a sector. Local SEO wins buyers near you. Google shows a map pack of three businesses above the normal results, and local SEO helps you appear there. It leans on your Google Business Profile, matching name, address and phone, reviews, local listings and location pages. Many businesses need both.
Do I need new content every month?
Often, yes, but only where it helps. New guides, service pages and comparison pages build depth on a topic, which Google and AI tools reward. We write the pages most likely to bring enquiries first. We would rather publish a few strong pages than many weak ones.
What do you need from us to start?
Only a few things. Access to your site, your analytics and Google Search Console. Your Google Business Profile if you serve a local area. A short chat about your best customers and the services you most want to grow. We handle the rest and keep you informed.
SEO by city
We work with businesses across the UK from our registered office at 128 City Road in London. These pages set out what search actually looks like in each place — the sectors, the geography and what a business there should realistically expect.
SEO agency in London
Borough-level local search, the City and Shoreditch distinction, and when a London firm should compete nationally instead.
SEO across Greater Manchester
Ten separate boroughs, ten separate markets — why a city-centre address does not rank in Bolton.
SEO in Birmingham and the West Midlands
The Black Country, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield, plus how manufacturing search differs from local search.
SEO in Leeds and West Yorkshire
A professional services city where buyers research for weeks, and a region reaching from Bradford to Harrogate.
SEO in Bristol and the South West
Aerospace and creative firms selling nationally, alongside local search that is genuinely winnable here.
