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 technology & saas is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
75,000 Manchester tech businesses. Only the top 10% rank first.
Manchester's tech ecosystem is booming, but it's crowded. Northern Quarter alone hosts hundreds of software and digital companies competing for the same keywords. Your prospects are searching for solutions—but they're finding your competitors instead. The market demand for tech talent, software, and digital services keeps growing, but organic visibility hasn't kept pace for most businesses. The window to rank is now, before consolidation locks out newcomers.
The 3 places Manchester technology & saas brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 technology & saas brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
They spent £3,200/month on Google Ads to stay visible but ranked page 2–3 for core keywords like 'payment software for SMBs' and 'fintech platform UK'. Sales cycles were long, and prospects often didn't know they existed until retargeting ads appeared. Organic traffic was negligible—only 2% of monthly leads came from search.
Repositioned 15 existing case studies as high-intent comparison and use-case pages, targeting keywords like 'Stripe vs [platform]' and 'payment software for accountants'.

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
After 6–9 months, your top 20 commercial keywords rank page 1. Organic traffic grows 150–300%, and 35–50% of qualified leads come from search at a cost 70% lower than PPC. You own your visibility instead of renting it.
Baseline Audit & Strategy
We analyze your current rankings, technical health, and competitive landscape across your key markets. For Manchester tech businesses, this means identifying which keywords your competitors own and which high-intent terms you can realistically target within 90 days. We interview your sales team to understand which searches actually drive deals.
On-Page & Technical Foundation
We fix the technical fundamentals: site speed, mobile responsiveness, crawlability, and schema markup. For SaaS platforms, this includes optimizing key landing pages, service pages, and case study pages for conversion and search intent. We ensure your site architecture supports both organic visibility and lead capture.
Content & Commercial Keywords
We build a content calendar targeting 30–50 high-intent keywords your sales team actually hears from prospects. Each piece is written for search intent, not vanity—focused on comparison pages, use-case articles, and solution-focused content that prospects search for when they're ready to buy. We integrate your LinkedIn and SEO strategies so content doubles as sales collateral.
Link Building & Authority
We secure high-quality backlinks from Manchester business publications, industry directories, and relevant tech media. For SaaS, we leverage analyst reports, integrations, and partnerships to build topical authority. Each link is earned through genuine relationships, not spammy tactics.
Reporting & Optimization
Monthly reporting shows traffic, rankings, leads generated, and revenue attributed to SEO. We track keyword movements, identify new opportunities, and iterate on content performance. You see exactly which organic visitors convert and why. No vanity metrics—just business impact.
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 |

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long before we see results?
Realistic timeline: 3–4 months to see traffic movement, 6 months for meaningful lead generation, 9–12 months for dominance. We prioritize quick-win optimizations in Month 1–2 (technical fixes, on-page improvements) so you see early momentum. Most clients see 20–30% traffic lift by month 3. Organic compounds over time—the longer you invest, the stronger your advantage.
Do you work with other agencies or just take full responsibility?
We can work alongside your existing team, but we own the SEO strategy and results. If you have an in-house marketer or another agency involved, we coordinate. Experience shows: clear ownership drives better outcomes. We'll be explicit about who's doing what to avoid gaps.
What if we want to reduce PPC spend—won't our visibility drop while SEO ramps?
Strategic reduction, not cold turkey. We typically recommend: maintain PPC at 70–80% of current spend for months 1–3 while SEO foundations build. As organic rankings improve (months 3–5), gradually reduce PPC. By month 6–7, organic is strong enough to handle most load. You avoid the visibility cliff and transition smoothly from paid to owned channels.
Our sales team says SEO is too slow. How do we buy them?
Show them the math: one qualified lead from organic (£45 cost) vs. one from PPC (£165 cost). Over 12 months, the math is compelling. More importantly, organic leads have a 22–35% higher close rate because they're self-educated by the time they engage. We recommend: commit to 6 months of SEO alongside PPC, track lead quality metrics (close rate, deal size), and let results speak. Most sales teams become SEO believers within 90 days when they see warmer leads.
What's included in your retainer? Do you do content writing?
Our retainer covers strategy, technical optimization, keyword research, content direction, link building, and monthly reporting. We either write content in-house or coordinate with your team—depends on the engagement level. Content writing adds £800–£1,500/month depending on volume and complexity. We always deliver the first 2–3 pieces in-house so you see our quality standard.
