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.
Manchester real estate is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
Property portals don't own Manchester search anymore.
Manchester's real estate market is hyper-local and fiercely competitive. Rightmove and Zoopla dominate broad searches, but buyers increasingly search for specific locations—'homes in Northern Quarter,' 'buy in Spinningfields.' That's your opening. Most local agents ignore location-based SEO entirely, treating organic search as a portal afterthought. This creates a gap: you can capture high-intent searches that portals don't optimise for. The agents winning in Manchester are those with consistent, location-first organic visibility.
The 3 places Manchester real estate brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 real estate brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
All their listings appeared on Rightmove and Zoopla, but when buyers Googled 'buy apartment in Spinningfields' or 'new homes Northern Quarter,' competitors ranked higher. They were generating 2–3 organic leads per month despite 40+ active listings.
Built 8 location-specific landing pages targeting micro-markets (Spinningfields, Northern Quarter, Deansgate, Ancoats) with area guides, recent sales, and local amenities.

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 6 months, you rank in Google's top 5 for location-based property searches in your key areas. Organic traffic grows 50–80%, converting to qualified buyer enquiries and fewer reliance on portals. You own your local search presence.
Audit & Research
We audit your current organic presence and analyse competitor gaps in Manchester's key micro-markets. We identify location-specific keywords—'buy in Spinningfields,' 'homes Northern Quarter under £400k'—that portals don't rank for. You'll see exactly where you're losing visibility and why.
Location & Content Strategy
We build a location-page framework for each neighbourhood you serve. Each page targets local buyers with area-specific content: schools, transport, local amenities, recent sales. We design this for both search engines and humans—pages that rank AND convert.
Technical & On-Page Optimisation
We implement schema markup so Google understands your properties, agents, and area expertise. We optimise site structure, internal linking, and page speed. We ensure every listing carries local signals that boost SERP visibility.
Content Build & Publishing
We create neighbourhood guides, buyer resources, and SEO-optimised blog posts. Each piece targets your identified keywords and links back to your location pages, building topical authority. Content drives search traffic and social sharing.
Monitor, Refine & Scale
We track ranking progress, organic traffic, and lead generation weekly. We refine underperforming pages and scale what's working. You get monthly dashboards showing exactly how SEO is driving leads and revenue.
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.

“They found a technical issue in week one that had been suppressing our rankings for over a year. Two previous agencies missed it completely. That was the moment I knew.”
Mark R.
Director of Growth · E-commerce Brand
“Month-to-month contracts and no lock-in wasn't just a selling point — it forced them to earn our business every month. They always did.”

CEO · Professional Services, $6M revenue
“We'd tried two SEO agencies before. Both gave us dashboards and monthly reports with no movement. Omakaase told us what was actually broken in week one and fixed it. Six months in, we're on page one for every term that matters.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long before I see results from SEO?
Quick wins appear in 6–12 weeks (faster indexing, improved CTR from better titles/meta descriptions). Meaningful ranking and traffic growth typically takes 3–6 months. Real estate SEO is a marathon, not a sprint, but the payoff is enormous—organic leads cost 60% less than ads and keep coming year after year.
Will SEO help if my listings are already on Rightmove and Zoopla?
Absolutely. Portals are table-stakes, not differentiation. Most buyers search Google first—'homes in Northern Quarter under £400k' or 'new apartments Spinningfields.' Ranking for those location-specific searches is where you win deals and reduce your reliance on portals' commissions.
What if my competitors are already ranking for my area keywords?
Most real estate websites rank poorly for technical and content reasons. We audit the competition, find their gaps, and build better, more comprehensive content around your target keywords. A well-executed local strategy beats a lazy incumbency 80% of the time.
How much does this cost, and how does it fit my budget?
Our retainer for real estate SEO typically ranges £1,500–£4,500 monthly, depending on scope (number of locations, property volume, content production). Most clients recoup the investment within 2–4 months through organic leads. We'll outline exact pricing after your audit.
Do I need to be good at social media for this to work?
No. However, social media and SEO work together beautifully. Blog content we create gets shared on social, driving backlinks and brand awareness. Strong social presence isn't required to start, but we'll integrate it as you grow.
