OVERVIEW
SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the process of optimising a website’s technical configuration, content relevance, and link popularity so that search engines rank its pages higher.
Search engines recommend SEO strategies that improve the user search experience and page ranking by providing relevant content. This includes using relevant keywords in titles, meta descriptions, and headlines (H1), descriptive URLs with keywords rather than strings of numbers, and schema markup to define the page’s content, among other SEO best practices.

SERVICES
Outreach & Linkbuilding
Often, the number of domains that link to your website is cited as one of (if not THE) most important ranking factor. At A1 SEO Birmingham, we've developed a vast network of legitimate websites that we may contact for link building.
If your rivals have a high search engine ranking, they will be developing links at scale. But developing connections is hard SEO work. Let A1 SEO Birmingham handle your link building efforts; this is our area of expertise.
Local SEO
Local SEO enables you to attract customers who are looking for goods and services in your neighbourhood. Local SEO concentrates on two search types: local searches and location keywords.
Ranking a local website is straightforward. At A1 SEO Birmingham, we follow a process that we have refined over the past 10 years. There's no SEO black magic here – just straightforward tasks. When followed correctly, this process will help boost your website's rankings in the local map pack and on location-based keywords.
Entrust your local businesses' SEO needs to an SEO agency in Birmingham with a proven track record of ranking improvements and achieving traffic to your website in the West Midlands and beyond.
On-Page SEO
On-page SEO refers to the components of a page. In most cases, you have direct control over these elements, and they can be altered instantly. Giving on-page SEO the time it deserves assists Google in assigning relevance to your pages and associates your content with keywords that google users search for.
SEO Audits
At A1 SEO Birmingham, we've got SEO Audits down to a TEE. Over the past 5 years, we have audited hundreds of websites and identified the main actionable sticking points in every single one of them.
We examine technical, on-page, and off-page (link building) elements using several tools to determine the state of your website as a whole.
If you want to know where your website stands with Google and get actionable advice on how to boost its search engine rankings, an audit from A1 SEO Birmingham is the perfect starting point.
SEO Consulting & Training
Your staff can improve your website's search performance, but they lack experience. Your in-house team can do a lot with strategic direction, and hiring an SEO specialist is expensive.
A1 SEO Birmingham knows that many large companies want to improve their employees' skills and only use outside firms for strategic planning. We've trained some of the world's largest in-house marketing teams, including FMCG, B2B, and B2C teams.
Whether you want an experienced eye on the best long-term strategy to bolster your search engine results pages or a deeper look into the technical aspects of an SEO campaign, we can speak to it. Chat with one of our SEO consultants and arrange a consultancy and training session for your Birmingham SEO company today.
Technical SEO
Technical SEO analyses a site for search engines. Make your site Google-friendly. Technical SEO (and on-page SEO) is a foundation for scaling link building and content marketing.
Sites that tell Google more about themselves rank higher. It's like giving your English-speaking professor a 10,000-word Spanish dissertation. Unless the examiner can read it, good content is useless.
Technical SEO delivers. Technical SEO depends on how quickly A1 SEO Birmingham can start on your website.
Technical SEO gives us full control. Link building campaigns yield immediate results. Google takes time to reassess your site's quality, but you should see an increase in rankings after the work is done.
White Label SEO
A1 SEO Birmingham manages the SEO strategies for some of the largest digital marketing firms in the UK. We know client staffing, onboarding, and account maintenance can be difficult. A1 SEO Birmingham's short, mid, and long-term options help take the pressure off client new client wins this.
Our white label SEO focuses on link building. Most agencies don't have the time or expertise to do it. We provide technical SEO, on-page SEO, keyword research, and reporting for agencies without their own SEO team or those going through staff changes.
If you can outsource a large part of your SEO strategy, you can take on more clients without rushing to hire. We are always available for phone calls and in-person meetings with the end client or agency.
OUR PROCESS
Onboarding
Once your contract is signed, we will begin our onboarding process. Our onboarding process kicks off the entire campaign. From here, we will brief you on your website's technical, on-page and off-page audits. We will also create your own tailored reporting dashboard so you can have complete oversight of your SEO strategy's performance. At this stage, we also ask you to fill out a couple of forms to help our internal teams to put together a strategy.
Strategy Call
After the onboarding stage, you will already have deliverables being completed against your account, and the clock will be ticking towards increased rankings. By now, our team will have spent a considerable amount of time familiarising themselves with your industry and will reach out to arrange a deep dive call to go through our proposed strategy and gain feedback to allow us to tailor this strategy further to meet your SEO goals. We expect all four clients to commit to regular catch-ups on-going, ideally on a bi-weekly basis.
Niche Analysis
Now we can start cooking with gas! Armed with the knowledge gained from the onboarding process and our strategy call, our team of SEO experts will conduct an in-depth niche analysis, covering every topic and sub-topic within your industry. From here, we will create a master database containing each page of your website and what is required to start moving the needle in an extremely granular way. This process takes anywhere from 20 to 500+ hours!
Link Building Strategy
Whilst your granular page-level strategy is being devised, our team of in-house digital PR experts will crawl through your Google Search Console account to find the biggest opportunities for external links. We look for pages where links will move the needle in a big way, getting you the best possible ROI for your budget. Our team has the ability to deliver scalable off-page SEO strategies from day 5!
Technical SEO Sprint
During the niche analysis and early link building stages, our technical SEO team will be in the background working their magic. We run benchmark all of your client's websites against a 100+ point checklist and action any anomalies we find. We also do a deep dive within Google Search Console, looking for query gaps, indexing issues, broken average position lines and much, much more. This is a sprint that is repeated every single month.
SEO Scale Up
The previous steps in our process tend to take 1-3 months. By this point, you will begin to see movement in the SERPs (Search Engine Page Results like Bing or Google search results) and will have a good idea of how we work and operate. All of the systems we have put in place for your business to date are designed to scale up nicely. At this stage, it is a case of being aggressive with publishing new and optimising older pieces of content, building links and keeping on top of the website's technical SEO.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does SEO take to work?
This depends on many factors, including your company's industry and keyword competition. SEO results takes time. SEO should yield results in 6–12 months. Results are traffic and lead or conversion increases. Any business investing in SEO should expect to see progress within this timeframe, even if you haven't reached your goal.
How does link building help SEO?
One strategy in search engine optimisation (SEO) is link building, which sends a message to search engines like Google that your website is an authoritative resource. This means that sites with more backlinks will likely rank higher.
What is on-page optimisation in SEO?
On-page optimisation, also known as on-page SEO, is the process of enhancing a website's search engine rankings through changes made on the page itself. Measures to enhance the meta data (meta description and title tags) are examples of this.
On-page SEO is one of the most impactful elements that lead to a website's visibility increasing and long-term success. Through years of experience, we've mastered optimising your website's SEO with meta tags that are curated for your business and Google's standards, bolstering a page's word count with high-quality content, and keyword research that delivers your page to your designated target audience.
What does a Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) specialist do?
When a website is tested, analysed, and modified by an SEO specialist to be search engine friendly, it rises in the rankings on major search engines like Google and Bing.
In order to increase website traffic, lead volume, and brand awareness, an SEO expert will optimise each page of a website to ensure relevant search results and create a positive user experience. In other words, an SEO Specialist is the same as any other marketer, whether they work in digital or traditional media, in that their ultimate goal is to increase revenue for the company.
An SEO Specialist can do wonders for a business by increasing its website's Google rankings through the use of keyword research and SEO tools like Google Analytics. Some may also collaborate with other members of a marketing team to create new initiatives or improve the management of social media accounts in an effort to increase user engagement and website traffic.
What services does A1 SEO Birmingham Offer?
A1 SEO Birmingham offers scalable SEO services, focusing on link building, content optimisation, technical SEO, local SEO, SEO consulting and SEO training.
As a Birmingham SEO agency with over 10 years of experience creating award-winning SEO for our clients, we have a wealth of knowledge to share with local businesses that want higher search engine results and more visitors to their websites.
Do you specialise in any particular sectors?
Simply put, no, we do not specialise in any sector. That being said the majority of our business is in e-Commerce SEO, where businesses are selling directly through a website. However, we have helped build dozens of high 6 and 7 figure lead generation businesses.
Experience with multiple clients from many different sectors, from retail to finance, means that we're well-equipped to create and implement effective SEO strategies for your business, no matter what industry it may be in.
Where is A1 SEO Birmingham based?
Our main office in Birmingham is 15 Colmore Row, Birmingham B3 2BH
Why do I need A1 SEO Birmingham when I can hire a specialist in-house?
At some point, it may be better to hire someone in-house, but in our experience, that only happens when your annual SEO costs are more than £70,000.
Using a third-party agency has a lot of benefits, like having a team of experts who are up-to-date on digital marketing and the latest trends and developments in search technology instead of just one person trying to keep up with everything. Also, one person in the house gets called into meetings, can call in sick, and needs at least a month off every year.
With A1 SEO Birmingham, you get a group of people, not just one. You gain experience in many different fields, not just your own, and as we invest in training and development, you get better employees who bring more value to your business more often.
Not only do we take away the risk of hiring the wrong person, but we are also likely to be much cheaper than hiring someone in-house, and most importantly, you can trust us as an agency. Trust, Loyalty, and Collaboration (TLC) are the core of how we do business, and the success of our customers is always our top priority.
Why is it so important for SEO to have a content strategy?
Because people always have questions. They type them into search engines and hope to find what they are looking for. Only if the search engines can find the right answer can that happen. We help you come up with the best answers.
The best content strategies are those that focus on getting you seen in the searches that bring the best customers to your website. It's not about being popular or following the latest trend. Instead, it's about being relevant, easy to reach, and there when customers need you. Consistency will trump following trends, and A1 SEO Birmingham offers digital marketing services that will help your business achieve its goals and connect to its target market.
The good news is that we've been working on content strategies since long before they became trendy, so we know what it takes to get your website to rank.
Do you offer quick fixes and "black hat" SEO?
Never. When it comes to digital marketing, search engine optimisation, content creation, reputation management, and other digital marketing services, we always use ethical and "white hat" methods. Quick fixes and fake boosts are just a waste of time, and we don't do them.
You can be "number one" for a keyword in a few weeks, but if it is a very popular keyword, the only way to do this is to trick the search engines. Some SEO companies think this is a good solution, but the Search Engines always figure it out and punish the site, so we don't use it. It's short-sighted and doesn't work, so we don't do it.
We've achieved outstanding results for our clients by following "white hat" methods, which have led to more sales and long-term benefits for our clients. Drive traffic to your business the right way; choose A1 SEO as your business's SEO in Birmingham.
How much do you charge for your services?
Starting at £1,200+VAT per month, we offer a range of Birmingham SEO services. We have a variety of SEO cost packages that will work for most growing businesses, depending on their business goals. Get a quote from us and a free review of your website by contacting us directly.
Who is A1 SEO Birmingham owned by?
A1 SEO Birmingham is an independent family-run SEO company in Birmingham. We are a limited company. Registration number is SC699214.
Why should I work with an SEO agency like A1 SEO Birmingham instead of an agency that does everything?
There are a lot of SEO agencies out there that say they offer "full service" and can do everything. From what we've seen, this is almost never the case. Most of the time, they will be good at some things but not so good at other things. They will say they can do all services, but they will outsource some of them without you knowing. We're different because we only offer SEO.
Managing web design and paid ads on your website on top of SEO packages won't lead to improved rankings or land you on the first page of Google. Our SEO agency in Birmingham cuts the fat and focuses on SEO.
How long are your contracts?
Monthly rolling with a 6-week cancellation policy. We don't tie you into 12 or even 6-month contracts we are that confident in our abilities.
