Love-struck Facebook users can now mathematically calculate how likely their partners are to accept a marriage proposal this Valentine’s Day with the Branded3-designed Interflora ‘Love Machine’ Facebook app.
Our very own Design, Development and Social Media teams built the Facebook app to coincide with the most romantic day of the year, giving visitors the chance to find out whether 2012 will be the most romantic year of their lives.
As a Facebook user, you need only ‘Like’ the page to get the cogs and springs of the ‘Love Machine’ working.
Working in the SEO industry for quite a few years now I’ve talked to a lot of small business owners frustrated by their experiences working with SEO companies. Small business SEO is very different to doing SEO for larger brands and we’ve always focused on working with larger businesses at Branded3.
This week I’m pleased to say that we are launching a new business called Baby SEO to service smaller businesses with respect and deliver the sort of good, honest service that small business owners expect from an SEO company.
Although we are just officially launching the business this week we have already built up a few dozen clients over the last few months and the company has a dedicated small business SEO team in place.
Baby SEO packages range from £300 to £1500 per month and we are offering 20% referral fees – perfect if you have any friends or clients needing better rankings. We also offer a white label option.
If you have any friends who are looking for a specialist small business SEO agency or perhaps you are a designer wanting to find a reliable service to outsource some SEO to then please get in touch with Baby SEO and we will be gladly be of assistance.

Honoured to have even been nominated for just one award, our SEO team here at Branded3 are proud to have our hard-work and innovation recognised on such a large scale and have updated our ever growing awards page with the full details.

Our recently launched Twitter-based app, Competwition.com, is shortlisted for the Innovation award; and of course I couldn’t be happier that Blogstorm is competing for Best Blog.

Branded3 is currently recruiting for the role of SEO Strategist and also 3 Link Analysts.
We’re expanding rapidly with 29 staff in Leeds & another 25 in Malaysia. Thanks to a strong reputation we’re lucky enough to work on some of the UK’s largest SEO campaigns and are delivering number 1 rankings for some of the worlds most lucrative keywords.
The roles offer quick career progression and are a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate to work with some of the UK’s largest brands and help develop their SEO strategy.
The role will be based in our Leeds office which is based around 15 minutes outside the city centre and very easy to commute to on the motorway (no rush hour traffic).
If you would like to discuss the roles please email contact @ branded3.com or send across your CV.
Please come along and say hello. We have a stand E5062 at Internet World where the hot topic for all 3 days will no doubt be Panda update chats with Panda expert Tim Grice and myself.
2011 has been a busy year so far at Branded3 HQ, we had 5 new people join the SEO team at the start of the year and after a very strong 2010 we’re looking forward to an even better 2011.
One of the reasons we’ve been winning business recently is the fact we focus 90% of all our efforts on link-building, in line with the fact that 90% of the Google algorithm is based on link data. Most other agencies don’t do this and it makes a huge difference to rankings.
The next few months will be quite busy but you can catch up with me and some of our team at the following events:
22nd February – SES London, I’m talking for an hour about link-building
1st & 2nd of March, TFM & A, Earls Court, London, we have a stand and I’m talking about Actionable Tips on Advanced Link Building & SEO Strategies for Online Brands
