Simply typing seo agency birmingham into Google can leave you with an overwhelming amount of results, and finding a great SEO agency in Birmingham that fits your requirements can feel daunting.

But don’t worry, we have compiled a hand-picked list of the very best SEO agencies we feel Birmingham has to offer.
Before you jump to the list, it’s a good idea to prepare a clear idea of the type of support you are looking for. SEO is not a one-size fits all service and you may need more help in some specific areas. We have created this guide to choosing the best SEO agency for your business, to help you choose the right fit for your business.
What makes a top SEO agency in Birmingham?
Selecting an agency should be based on more than just a postcode. Our research process aims to identify which agencies are best and why they shine.
Some of the things we considered when looking for the best SEO agencies are:
Length of time in business
An established agency that has been in business for more than 3 years helps ensure they have a good track record. If you are going to trust an agency to own your SEO strategy it makes sense to work with someone who has built a solid business by delivering results
Customer case studies and reviews
An agency with a track record of delivering the results that you are looking for is going to be more likely to be able to help you achieve the same. We are a big believer in customer reviews and looked at the volume and recency of the reviews when considering which agencies to include
Price range
A great SEO agency with awesome case studies and fantastic reviews is no good if you can’t afford to work with them. Most agencies will specialise in a type of business or be aimed at specific sizes of businesses. For example, we are focused on helping Small & Medium size companies that are ambitious about growing their business. This means we can work with start-ups and smaller businesses. Other SEO agencies are aimed at working with large enterprise customers with very large websites and are unlikely to be a good fit for a small business looking for growth.
Subject matter experts
Agencies that specialise in SEO or who have a large experienced SEO team will be better placed to deliver results than an agency that has added SEO to a range of other services. SEO is a complex and fast-moving area and working with an agency that has the resources to keep up with the latest algorithm changes will help you ensure they have the expertise to help your business succeed.
Team size and expertise
The team will be the ones delivering your work day to day, so it is important to understand who will be working on your account. Often agencies put their most experienced people up front to impress their clients and then have more junior people actually working on their accounts.
How important will your account be to the agency?
Often larger SEO agencies will have an impressive marketing and sales team, but if you are a small client to their agency you may end up with their least experienced team working on your account. So if you are blown away by the size of the clients they are working with, ask yourself how important will your business be to them. Sometimes it’s better to be a larger client of a small agency, than a small client for a large agency, which has bigger fish to fry. It’s great to find an agency that fits with your stage of business, as you grow you may move to a larger agency, but starting with an agency that isn’t motivated by your account could be an expensive mistake.
