What our SEO delivers
01
Technical SEO audit
A full technical audit ensures search engines can discover, crawl and index every page. Using Semrush, Screaming Frog, Analytics and Search Console we fix on-site issues — and map every fix to a £ value, so the audit pays for itself.
02
Link building
We build a high-quality, relevant link profile centred on E-E-A-T — guest blogging, niche directories and digital PR. Links are scored against predicted referral revenue and decision-makers reached, not domain authority alone.
03
Keyword & market research
Meticulous research reveals exactly what your customers search for, shaping content, on-page optimisation and outreach — your express lane to first-page results for the searches that matter.
04
Local SEO
For local and regional firms we optimise for geo-targeted keywords and map searches like Google Maps, building prominent, consistent local citations so you stand out in the areas you serve.
05
SEO monitoring
No ‘set and forget’. Monthly reports track organic traffic, target-page performance, cost per qualified opportunity, engagement and conversions — tied to your specific business objectives.
06
GEO & AI Overviews
Generative Engine Optimisation gets you cited by ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews. We wrap key pages in entity-first markup so LLMs quote you — measured, like PPC, on cost per referred opportunity.
What our clients say
The team at Urban Element were great at bringing together many very different ideas on what the visual identity of the business should or could be, and uniting us around a global option that works well for our existing business and that will serve us well as we grow in the future.
Working with Urban Element over the past few months has been an absolute pleasure. From the initial scoping of the project to our brand new company site going live, they made the process simple and straightforward, providing support at every step. We really appreciated their attention to detail and creative approach as well as the invaluable SEO advice and implementation.
“I have worked with Urban Element on 2 website builds and PPC campaigns. Well organised, professional and a good balance of discussion vs recommendation. Not a pushy agency who always think they know best and trying to get more from you. Collaborative, supportive, understated and good value, most importantly delivering a sound ROI”
“Lovely people who really know their stuff. We worked with Urban Element to do a social media audit for us and then deliver training to our marketing team. They are very knowledgeable in the education sector and have really given us some valuable and actionable insights. They are also lovely to work with! We now consider them to be a key strategic partner and I recommend them wholeheartedly.”
