EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
London finance & fintech is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
London's 28,000 financial advisors compete for the same high-net-worth Google searches
London is the world's largest international financial centre, home to over 28,000 licensed financial advisors and thousands of accounting, tax, and wealth management firms competing for a digitally sophisticated, high-net-worth client base. According to City of London financial services data, 84% of HNW individuals and business owners conduct extensive online research before engaging any financial professional. The firms ranking at the top of organic search for their specific niche consistently acquire clients at 60–70% lower cost than those relying on referrals and events.
The 3 places London finance & fintech brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 finance & fintech brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time SEO has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
Within 12–18 months, you have recognised niche content authority generating 15–30 qualified enquiries per month from your ideal client profile — reducing referral dependency and lowering client acquisition costs by 50–70%.
Niche Authority Mapping
We define your most profitable and differentiated client niche — the intersection of who you serve best and what they search for. London financial services SEO wins at the niche level. We map every search query your ideal client runs when researching their specific financial situation.
FCA-Compliant Content Architecture
We build your content strategy within FCA, FCA Financial Promotions rules, and MiFID II constraints — educational content that demonstrates expertise without crossing into regulated advice. Our team understands FCA compliance so you never create content that triggers regulatory risk.
Niche Authority Content Build
We create the educational content your ideal clients search for before engaging any financial professional — guides specific to their situation (ISA vs SIPP for City professionals, IHT planning for London property owners, non-dom remittance basis decisions) that establish your expertise.
London Financial Press & Authority
We build domain authority through financial media placements (FT Weekend, City A.M., Money Marketing, Professional Adviser), industry association content, and data-led research pieces positioning you as a citable authority in your niche.
AUM Pipeline Attribution
Monthly reporting connecting organic traffic to AUM enquiries and onboarded clients. We measure what the board cares about — client acquisition cost from organic, AUM per organic enquiry, and organic channel contribution to total new AUM.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“By month three, our main product keyword hit Page 1. By month six, we cut Google Ads spend by 40% because organic was finally doing its job. That's the real test.”

“The weekly Loom is something no one else offered. I finally understand what's happening with our SEO — and I can explain it to my board. That matters more than I expected.”

“I've run three agencies through their paces. This is the first one that attributes everything back to revenue. Rankings are vanity. Pipeline is the point.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How do FCA financial promotions rules affect SEO content?
FCA rules restrict performance claims, testimonials, and certain types of investment recommendations in marketing communications — which includes website content and blog posts. We build content within these constraints using educational frameworks that demonstrate expertise without crossing into regulated financial promotion territory. We've produced compliant content for 6 FCA-registered firms without a single compliance issue.
Can smaller London advisory firms compete with St. James's Place or Hargreaves Lansdown?
Not on generic terms like 'invest in ISA' — and that's not the strategy. Large wealth managers are structurally unable to create personalised, niche-specific content for every advisor specialisation. An advisor who owns 'financial planning for London tech founders' or 'IHT planning for London property owners' is capturing searches those platforms will never serve.
How do you measure ROI for financial services SEO in London?
We connect organic traffic to CRM leads, discovery calls, and onboarded clients — tracking AUM acquired from organic and the CAC from organic vs other channels. For accounting firms, we track new engagements and annual fees. We always measure revenue outcomes, not vanity metrics.
How do you handle the Consumer Duty requirements in content?
FCA's Consumer Duty (in force since 2023) requires that financial marketing delivers good outcomes for retail customers — including clear, fair, and not misleading content. We build this into our content brief from the outset: plain English, balanced presentation, clear risk disclosures, and no cherry-picked performance claims.
What's the minimum AUM or revenue for financial services SEO to make sense in London?
We see the strongest ROI for London advisory firms with at least £80M AUM (advisors) or £1.2M annual revenue (accounting/tax firms). Below these thresholds, the retainer cost relative to client acquisition capacity can make the economics challenging. We'll tell you honestly before you engage.
