Things to Consider

—SEO-heavy focus means paid media and social services are secondary

—Primarily UK market focused with less international campaign breadth

—Web design offered but not a primary differentiator

—Mid-tier hourly rate may be above budget for very small businesses

—Content marketing is an add-on rather than a core standalone offering
