Tired of Being Ignored by "Big" Agencies? 📉

Enterprise-Level SEO, Rightsized for Your Business

As an SME, you can't afford to be just another number on a spreadsheet. While large agencies often assign their junior staff to smaller accounts, Studio 36 gives you direct access to senior experts at an affordable, fair price point designed for SME budgets. We don't focus on vanity metrics; we focus on the growth, revenue, and ROI that small and medium businesses need to scale. 

No Long-Term Contracts

We know that agility is your superpower. That’s why we don't lock you into 12-month handcuffs. We operate on a flexible 30-day basis because we believe our results should be the reason you stay, not a piece of paper.

Revenue Over "Vanity Traffic"

Rankings are good, but revenue is what matters. We move beyond basic traffic reports to track the metrics that pay the bills: leads, sales, and ROI. We build strategies that turn your website into a 24/7 salesperson.

Ethical "White-Hat" Growth

We don't use shortcuts or risky tactics that could get your site penalised. We use only safe, Google-recommended techniques, backed by extensive research and testing, to ensure your growth is sustainable and long-term.

Recognised across the UK for our transparent, data-driven SEO services, Studio 36 Digital has earned multiple awards and top ratings on Trustpilot and Google. With over 10 years’ experience, we focus on helping businesses and brands achieve sustainable online growth through clear communication and tailored strategies you can trust.

We understand the UK market, British geography, and local search behaviour. We offer direct access to the experts working on your campaign, ensuring clear communication and forensic attention to detail without the "lost in translation" errors of offshore outsourcing.

Key elements of SEO

Effective SEO combines several vital components, broadly grouped as on-page and off-page SEO. Here’s what we prioritise for every campaign:

Keyword Research

We look at the exact words and phrases people search for when they need products or services like yours. Using the right keywords means your website is more likely to appear in front of your target audience.

Link Building & Digital PR

When other trusted websites link back to yours, it signals to search engines that your site is credible. Building these links is a key part of improving your rankings, visibility and brand awareness online.

On-site Optimisation

Optimising your website involves updating content, structure, and key details so both users and search engines can quickly understand what you offer. A well-optimised site is more likely to rank higher and convert visitors.

Competitor Analysis

By studying how your competitors perform in search engine results pages, we can see which keywords, content, and strategies are bringing them results. This insight helps spot opportunities for your website to stand out and do better.

Technical SEO

The technical side of SEO focuses on areas like site speed, mobile usability, and how easily search engines can crawl your web pages. A strong technical setup ensures your website is accessible, fast, and reliable for users.

Content Strategy

High-quality content such as blogs, guides, and service pages shows both customers and search engines that you’re an authority in your field. A solid content plan helps attract more visitors and build trust over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answer you're looking for?

Unlike generalist "Digital Agencies" that dabble in a bit of everything, SEO is our core DNA. We provide high-impact, affordable SEO by stripping away the "big agency" overheads and focusing purely on what moves the needle. We don't just guess; we use forensic data analysis to understand exactly what Google wants from your specific industry. We combine technical code fixes with high-authority content strategies to build long-term, sustainable rankings that drive revenue, not just traffic.

SEO is a compound investment. While we often see "quick wins" in the first 30-60 days by fixing technical errors (like site speed or indexing issues), substantial organic growth typically builds over 3 to 6 months. We are transparent about this timeline. If you need instant leads while the SEO strategy matures, we can run a Google Ads (PPC) campaign alongside it to bridge the gap.

No, and you should run from any agency that does. Google’s algorithm is a third-party system that no agency controls. However, we guarantee our work: we guarantee that we will execute a best-in-class strategy, produce high-quality content, and build safe, relevant backlinks. Our track record proves that this process consistently moves our clients towards the top of the search results.

Real SEO requires both. You cannot rank a broken website, and you cannot rank an empty one.

  • Technical SEO: We fix the engine (Site Speed, Schema Markup, Crawlability).
  • Content Strategy: We provide the fuel (Service Pages, Blogs, Landing Pages).
  • Authority: We build the reputation (Backlinks, Digital PR).

We provide a holistic service that covers all three pillars of search success.

Yes, we build websites, but we build them SEO-First. Most web designers focus only on aesthetics, leaving you with a pretty site that Google can't read. We build high-performance WordPress and Shopify sites specifically engineered to rank. If your current site is holding back your SEO performance, we have the in-house skills to rebuild it properly.

Strictly. We protect your brand's reputation. We never use "Black Hat" tactics (like link farms or keyword stuffing) that put you at risk of a Google Penalty. We build sustainable growth that survives Google algorithm updates. We want you to rank today, but also stay there for the next 5 years.

No. We are confident in our ability to deliver ROI. We operate on a 30-day rolling basis. We believe an SEO agency should retain clients based on results (growing traffic and leads), not by locking them into a restrictive 12-month legal agreement. This keeps us hungry to perform every single month.

Both. The strategy just differs.

  • Local SEO: For trades and physical businesses, we focus on the "Map Pack," Google Business Profiles, and local citations.
  • National/E-commerce SEO: We focus on technical architecture, widespread content clusters, and high-authority link building to compete on a UK-wide scale.
