Why clients
choose NowVillage
An approach to SEO aimed at revenue and profit
Raising rankings and traffic alone does not grow a business. We design an SEO strategy that leads to the growth of yours.
Because NowVillage supports you consistently from strategic design through choosing the methods to running them, strategy and execution mesh, and the marketing is coherent.
Complete transparency of thinking and process
SEO is specialised, and from outside it is not unusual to feel uneasy about what is actually being done. At NowVillage we share everything: why we are doing this, and the analysis and reasoning behind it. We promise no black box, and to drive the project as one team with you, towards the same goal.
Where you wish, we also actively share the know-how with your own people to help bring it in-house.
Support for marketing optimised across the whole
NowVillage is a specialist in SEO and at the same time a strategist across digital marketing.
Because we are fluent in every method, advertising, social media, email, we make SEO function as the hub of your marketing rather than a disconnected activity. We draw a strategy that maximises the compounding effect of each activity, multiplying the value of your content and driving the growth of your business.
And more:
designing a service around your particular problems and situation is a strength of ours.
A dedicated contact alongside you
Because front-line sales and the people running the work are not separate, communication is consistent and responses are fast.
Sharing knowledge
We accumulate industry, SEO and marketing trends and knowledge internally and pass them on to our clients.

What NowVillage brings
What our SEO consulting covers
Here is some of the work involved in our SEO consulting
Analysis
We analyse the current state of your site in detail. Using tools such as Google Analytics we examine rankings, traffic and user behaviour from several angles, identifying the problems and the opportunities in SEO.
Roadmap
On the basis of that analysis we set the right SEO strategy for your business goals. We make the activity and the schedule concrete, keyword selection, site structure, content planning, and set out the path to results.
On-site work
We optimise the site's internal structure so that search engines can evaluate it correctly. We advise on improving page speed, mobile friendliness, HTML tags and internal linking.
Off-site work
We raise the site's domain authority and credibility through earning external links. Creating high-quality content and building relationships with relevant external sites aims at earning links naturally.
Improving conversion
This is the work of raising the likelihood that a visitor ultimately converts, buying or enquiring. We advise on ways to raise the conversion rate by improving the user experience: better landing pages, optimised calls to action, simpler forms.
Article production
Specialists with SEO knowledge plan and produce article content in line with what people are searching for. We support you end to end, from keyword selection through writing to editing, aiming to grow organic traffic.
White papers
We plan and produce white papers aimed at generating leads. A white paper bringing specialist information together helps customers solve their problems and contributes to effective lead generation.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
The cost varies with the scale and current state of your site and the scope of the work. We propose the right plan and cost individually, after discussing the detail.
How long before we see results?
Generally it takes six months to a year for the effect of SEO to show visibly. We cannot guarantee short-term results, but once a page ranks well it brings steady traffic.
Can you work in any industry?
Yes, we can work across a wide range of industries. Drawing on extensive experience, we plan the right SEO strategy for your market and your audience.
Can you make changes to the site as well?
Yes. We support improvements to the site structure that maximise the SEO effect, and changes to the UI and UX that improve the user experience.
Can we ask you to produce content such as articles?
Yes. We produce content of many kinds, SEO articles, blog articles, white papers, providing high-quality content that raises the expertise and authority of your site.
How often do you submit reports?
We submit a progress report once a month. We track the main measures, rankings, traffic, conversions, and provide analysis and improvement proposals based on the data.
We are considering bringing it in-house in future
Yes, we actively support that. We help you do SEO yourself by sharing know-how, holding sessions for the people involved, and producing operating manuals.
Can we ask for advertising management alongside SEO?
Yes. Building a medium to long-term basis for traffic through SEO while producing short-term results through advertising maximises the effect of your marketing as a whole. Combining the two makes acquisition more strategic.

What is SEO?
SEO stands for search engine optimisation. It covers all the work of making your website appear higher in search engines such as Google and Yahoo! when a particular term is searched for.
It is the equivalent of opening a shop in a prime spot with plenty of passing trade. Unlike search advertising, where you pay for placement (handing out leaflets), a site that ranks well through SEO is visited steadily and continuously by people seeking that information, at no media cost.
The work divides broadly into on-site work, helping search engines understand the site correctly (the shop's range and tidiness), and off-site work, having other sites vouch for its credibility (recommendations from other shops).
SEO is not merely a technique. By providing information of genuine value and being evaluated highly by search engines, it is a most important marketing activity for building an asset on the web that keeps attracting visitors for years to come.
The advantages and disadvantages of SEO consulting
Asking specialists for SEO consulting brings many advantages, and there are also points worth understanding in advance.
Advantages
1. Access to current, specialist know-how
Google's criteria are updated constantly, and you have to follow the latest information and keep acting on it. Specialists have that knowledge and experience in depth, so the route to results is faster and more accurate than finding your own way.
2. Your own people can concentrate on your core business
Serious SEO takes a great deal of time and effort: analysis, content planning, technical fixes. Leaving that to specialists lets your staff concentrate on the work that matters, which raises the productivity of the whole company.
3. Problems found and strategy set from an outside view
Running everything internally narrows the field of vision. A consultant analysing the site as a third party on objective data can find fundamental problems and improvements you would not have noticed, and build a strategic plan working back from the goal.
Disadvantages
1. It costs money
Naturally, asking specialists incurs consulting fees. But it is important to see this not as a cost but as an investment in a web asset that will cut advertising spend and generate steady revenue in future.
2. Results take time
Unlike advertising, SEO takes at least three to six months from starting before the effect shows. It does not suit a need for immediate results, but once a page ranks well it brings steady traffic over the medium to long term.
3. Skill and approach differ greatly between firms
Regrettably, the SEO consulting industry includes low-quality services and firms working from out-of-date information. It matters more than anything to judge a firm's record, the quality of its analysis and the transparency of its strategy before signing, and to choose a partner you can trust.
