Baby SEO – A New SEO Company for Small Businesses

by Patrick Altoft on / 5 responses

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.

Baby SEO

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.

Speaking at Internet World, SMX London & Pubcon Hanover in May

by Patrick Altoft on / one response

What’s going on in 2011

by Patrick Altoft on / one response

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
  • 5th March – Think Visibility, Leeds
  • 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
  • 10th-12th of May, Internet World, Earls Court, London, we have a stand and I’m talking about link-building again

If you would like to work with (or at) Branded3 then please drop me an email!
