Who this is for
We are a good fit if:
- You see marketing as something you build, not a tap you turn on and off.
- You know your target customer and what counts as a conversion: a sign-up, a sale or an enquiry.
- You want to build organic search alongside paid ads from day one.
- You want returns that keep growing, not one-off spikes.
We may not be the right fit if:
- You need 100 customers by next month.
- You cannot plan your budget beyond 3 months.
- You want to test 10 channels at once.
- You see marketing as a cost, not an investment.
Why marketing for growing startups often falls short
Three problems that often hold results back in this sector. For each one, we say what we do about it and how we measure it.
Small budget, high expectations
Startups need fast results with little money. That means strict priorities for channels, searches and pages from day one.
No reputation or traffic yet
A new website starts from zero. Without a clear plan to earn Google's trust, you compete with established firms on uneven ground.
Pressure to show a return quickly
Founders and investors need early signs that it is working. We plan campaigns that test ideas quickly, while we build pages that keep working in organic search.
Market context
- • SEO takes months to pay back, so an early start matters
- • First-time buyers check who you are before they buy from a new brand
- • A site structure that is right from the start costs less than fixing it later
Our plan for growing startups
A plan with clear priorities
We pick the few actions most likely to bring early results at your stage. No budget goes to channels that do not suit it.
SEO foundations first
The technical setup, the full list of searches you target and the first content structure, done right from the start. That costs less than fixing it later.
Google Ads on a tight budget
Google Ads with strict limits on the cost per customer, checked every day. We put more into what works and quickly pause what does not.
Foundations first: 340% revenue growth for an e-commerce brand
This client was not a startup. It was a European e-commerce brand with thousands of good products and returning customers, held back by thin product pages and a weak product feed (the file that tells Google Shopping what a shop sells). We fixed the site structure and product pages and rebuilt the Shopping campaigns. Revenue grew 340% in 12 months. We show it here because a young company faces the same choice: build the foundations properly, or pay for the gaps with ad budget.
• Main measure: Revenue, E-Commerce Client.
• We report against the starting point every month: what moved, why, and what we do next.
• One person owns the decisions, and one report covers every channel.
Each problem, our answer and what we measure
| Problem | What we do | What we measure |
|---|---|---|
| Small budget, high expectations | A plan with clear priorities | Revenue from organic search and ads |
| No reputation or traffic yet | SEO foundations first | Visits from organic search |
| Pressure to show a return quickly | Google Ads on a tight budget | Cost per customer from Google Ads |
Where we usually start
What working with us looks like
Weeks 1–2
Starting point and plan
We record today's numbers, work out where more customers could come from and agree with you what to fix first, based on your business goals.
Weeks 3–6
Foundations
We fix technical problems, improve the pages where people get in touch or buy, and plan content around what your customers search for.
Weeks 7–12
Bringing in customers
SEO and paid ads run side by side. We check the agreed measures every week and adjust the work.
Month 4+
Growth
We build on what works. The aim: a site that Google and customers trust more, a lower cost per customer and less risk when one channel changes.
What to know before you get in touch
Many startups spend on marketing before they are ready. We would rather tell you that in the first conversation than take your money for 3 months and deliver nothing of value.
If your product has clear demand and a defined customer, and you see marketing as something you build, let's build something that lasts.
Common concerns, answered
- “We have tried SEO and ads before.”
- When it did not work, it was usually for two reasons: the work was split between too many people, and nobody could tell which channel brought which customer. We fix how the work is run first, then move more of the budget to the channels that pay.
- “How soon will we see results?”
- Paid ads and changes to your pages usually show results first. SEO takes longer, and its effect keeps adding up. We plan the work so that you see early signs of progress while the long-term work goes on.
- “Can this work with our current team and tools?”
- Yes. We plan around what you already have and agree who does what, on your side and ours.
- “What if our market is too competitive?”
- Then focus matters most. We first protect the searches that already bring you profitable work, then go after the ones most likely to pay off.
