Simply put, SEO is the art of optimising web pages to rank within Google's index and search results for specific search queries made by users. Slightly jargon heavy but it's important you know! Google's ethos is to show the most relevant result to a users search every single time. Whether you're searching for a holiday, new car, business coach or SEO agency, you want to make sure you get the relevant result.

How long does SEO take to work?

Typically, SEO is considered as a long-term strategy. Initial improvements can show up within 3 months of work being carried out. However, significant results tend to come between months 6 to 12 as authority increases and rankings improve.

Why should I invest in SEO?

It's entirely your choice whether you invest in SEO. However, we believe it's mightily important to a businesses digital marketing strategy and lead-gen strategy to invest. Better search rankings increases traffic to your site in turn increasing the likelihood of enquiries.

Local SEO optimises your visibility within local searches for products or services. It also helps you appear within Google Maps showcasing your business. Local SEO is crucial for businesses that have a local reach and serve specific geographic areas only.

Do you guarantee page one rankings?

We never guarantee any rankings and those that do are gambling with your time and money! With algorithms changing frequently we'd never be able to confidently guarantee high rankings. However, by focusing on sustainable improvements, a solid content strategy and driving better quality traffic you stand a good chance of generating those all-important page one rankings.

Are LLMs like ChatGPT, MS Co-Pilot and Gemini search engines?

Not exactly but users are using them more and more to generate results. We are seeing across our agency that clients are picking up enquiries where their sites have been referenced by ChatGPT or an LLM and a user has enquired from there. It's a common way for people to find the answers they need. When thinking about SEO it's important to consider AIO/GEO.

We are super happy with the brand and digital projects that Big Gun Digital have delivered for IT First Solutions LTD. Following an exploratory session with Tom, we decided to start with a rebrand! What was a significant step for the business, was made so easy. After completing a questionnaire, Rebecca delivered some options and we chose one to develop further. Rebecca really understood the essence of what we wanted and we were blown away at how she nailed it first time.
Then, what started out as a few post-it notes and a questionnaire, was only a few months later...a new company website we are proud of, thanks to Luke N and the website development team. Big Gun Digital really are experts at what they do, so you don't have to be. Along with being friendly, responsive and accommodating, makes them an absolute pleasure to work with.

I recently spent time with Luke and Donna as part of their BBF event in Amersham. They had reviewed my website ahead of the meeting and came up with 5 or 6 great ideas for me to boost my digital presence. I made the changes straight after our meeting and am sure these tweaks will help me secure new business. It was time very well spent!

Really enjoying working with Big Gun on a large project to deliver new marketing foundations for a well established business. They've created our new brand and have launched two of our websites so far, and are soon to roll out our new CRM, e-signatures, and company NFC cards. They deliver what they promise on time and are really easy bunch to work with! An extra big shout out to Luke F and Lucas (my go-to person for the website roll outs) for answering all my questions so quickly. Thanks, Big Gun!
