SEO drives 1000%+ more traffic than organic social media.

In recent years, we've seen the growing presence, and exponential necessity for online marketing. Whether your business is ecommerce or just making itself known online, it's important to acknowledge the importance of a good strong online presence.

Could we do it ourselves? Handling our search engine optimisation, manipulating metadata, building sitemaps and navigating the code of our website, it's all too much to be concerned about, when we have better things to attend to.

It's often easy to mistake outsourcing marketing to expensive agencies, or building equally as expensive in-house teams, as your only solution to digital marketing. After all, why should you be concerned with the confusing lingo, technicalities and definitions that come with digital marketing? 

Lets face it, digital marketing is confusing, and it's an expensive problem to solve. Agencies charge a lot of money, and can underdeliver on their promises. They also don't work directly with your team, in your workplace, how can they have a grasp on your brand's identity?

What we need is a well rounded solution to the problem, an affordable marketer that grows to fill your business's brand identity, has rapport with you and your team, and most of all, can deliver on what you want from your marketing.

This sounds too good to be true... but is it?
