The google expert was the only agency I could find that specialised in building websites that not only look good but are built with marketing in mind. I researched numerous web developers who built amazing looking websites but none of them focus on SEO, rankings or building leads. For this reason I chose James and his team and the results I have achieved have proven it was the best decision I could have made. Great communication, fast turnaround and competitive pricing, I would highly recommend James services to any business owner. Hannah

James is genuinely one of the best people I know when it comes to digital marketing. He knows how to get results and isn’t about shortcuts or empty promises. He takes the time to understand your goals and builds a strategy that actually makes sense. If you want someone who knows digital marketing inside out, James is a safe bet.

Working with The Digital Marketing Guru has to merit a 5 start rating, the type Of business I have although well established requires a constant stream of new clients in a saturated market, so even though I had a good website no body was looking at it! I engaged the services of James and within a few months my website rankings were elevated and also generated more relevant clients Providing great communication and understanding of my business plus affordable pricing I can’t recommend enough Thank you Juliet

Examples

How we'd help your marketing

Every professional firm wins clients differently. Pick yours to see the kind of plan we'd put together.

Law Firm

  • Service pages for each area of law
  • SEO for legal and local searches
  • Google Ads for urgent legal matters
  • Reviews and reputation management

More enquiries for the work you want. See our Contract Lawyer concept.

  • LinkedIn content from the partners
  • Referral partnerships with banks and advisers

Better-fit clients, higher fees and fewer price-shoppers.

  • Account-based outreach to target companies
  • Speaking and PR opportunities

A pipeline of retained clients and bigger projects.

  • SEO for sector and role searches
  • LinkedIn content from consultants
  • Client email campaigns

What we'd aim for

Better clients and higher fees. See our Recruitment Business concept.

  • SEO for architect and project searches
  • Instagram and Houzz content
  • Developer relationship marketing

What we'd aim for

  • SEO for luxury interior searches
  • Instagram and Pinterest content
  • Partnerships with architects and developers

What we'd aim for

Fewer, better enquiries from ideal clients. See our Interior Design Studio concept.
