Google Partner digital marketing, SEO and Google Ads in Dorset

01/

Search engine optimisation

Technical SEO, on-page optimisation, keyword strategy, content recommendations and link building. We make sure your site has the right foundations (page structure, meta data, site speed and Google Search Console) to drive sustainable, long-term organic traffic without paying for every click.

02/

Google Ads and PPC management

Google Partner-certified campaign management. Keyword research, ad copywriting, bid strategy, audience targeting, landing page recommendations and ongoing optimisation, all managed and reported transparently every month. No campaigns left running on autopilot.

03/

Digital marketing strategy

For businesses that need more than execution, we develop the full strategy: audience analysis, channel selection, budget allocation, KPI setting and a roadmap that connects your marketing activity to your actual business goals rather than vanity metrics.

04/

Google Analytics and tracking

Proper set-up and management of Google Analytics, so you have accurate data on traffic, behaviour, conversions and campaign performance. No guesswork, no vanity metrics, just the data you need to decide where to invest.

05/

Landing page optimisation

Campaigns are only as effective as the pages they send traffic to. We review and improve landing pages to increase conversion rates, so the investment in driving traffic is matched by the quality of the experience visitors find when they arrive.

06/

Monthly reporting

Clear, honest monthly reports on what is working, what has been changed and what the plan is for the next month. The numbers that matter, explained plainly: not a dashboard full of figures that look impressive but tell you nothing useful.

07/

Local SEO and Google Business Profile

Get into the Google Maps “local pack” for searches like “electrician Poole” or “café Bournemouth”. We set up and optimise your Google Business Profile (categories, services, photos, posts and Q&A), build consistent local citations and set up a simple system for getting fresh reviews. The map pack still appears on most “service + town” searches.

08/

AI search optimisation (GEO)

More people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews for recommendations. We structure your website content, schema markup and business information so AI tools can understand and trust your business, giving you the best chance of being the answer they recommend. Because we build websites, we can make these changes ourselves rather than just recommending them.

09/

Social media

Social media content and campaigns that work alongside your search marketing and your website, keeping your business in front of the right people and sending them somewhere worth landing. Reported in the same plain-English monthly report as everything else.

Is my budget too small for Google Ads?

Not necessarily. We work with businesses at various budget levels. A free marketing review will give you an honest view of what is achievable and whether paid search makes sense for your current situation.

How quickly will I see results from Google Ads?

Paid search can drive traffic from day one. Campaigns typically take two to three months to fully optimise as we gather data on what is working. We set realistic expectations upfront rather than promising instant results.

How long before SEO shows results?

Organic SEO typically takes three to six months to show meaningful results. Most businesses benefit from a combination of both: building paid traffic while organic rankings grow.

Do I need a new website before starting?

Not always, but your website needs to be able to convert the traffic we send to it. We will review your existing site as part of the marketing review and let you know honestly if changes are needed before investing in campaigns.

How much does SEO cost in Dorset?

It depends on how competitive your market is and how many locations you cover. Cirrus Design Studio gives you a fixed monthly price after a free marketing review, on a rolling monthly plan.

How much should I spend on Google Ads?

It depends on your sector’s cost per click. Many local trades pay roughly £1.50 to £3.50 per click, while legal and finance pay much more. We’ll estimate the budget you need to get meaningful results before you spend anything.

Do you tie clients into long contracts?

No. Our plans run month to month. We’d rather keep clients because the work pays for itself.

How do I get my business into the Google Maps results?

Through a fully optimised Google Business Profile, accurate and consistent business details across the web, a steady flow of recent reviews, and a website that backs up what your profile says. Local SEO is about getting all four right.

Can you get my business mentioned in ChatGPT or Google’s AI Overviews?

No one can guarantee it. But AI tools favour businesses with clear, well-structured websites, accurate schema markup, strong reviews and consistent information across the web. That’s exactly what we build and optimise.

Do you only work with Dorset businesses?

No. We’re based in Bournemouth and work with businesses across Dorset, the South West and the UK. Local SEO is most effective when you know the area, so it’s a particular strength for Dorset clients.
