Unfortunately, our experience with this agency was very bad. Very long response times, poor customer relations, very questionable quality of service. We also tried several times to understand where the problem was and to solve the situation during the project, but there was a wall on the other side and they were not at all willing to meet our expectations as customer. Personally one of my worst experiences with a supplier.

I understood the importance of SEO for our website but struggled achieving the best result when posting blogs and content pages onto WordPress - was this a dark art? I arranged with Brett a training session outlining what I wished to achieve. He went through the process in a methodical order, explaining those areas which were important to Google and those which I shouldn't get hung up about. I now have so much more confidence when posting blogs, amending the content to get the very best result from the search engines. It was well worth a trip over the Pennines.

I used SEO Works when we were going through both a website redesign and a change of the domain. The team at SEO Works are friendly, proactive, and did a superb job of ensuring that the effects of the website change were kept to a minimum. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for SEO.
