We love growth

Our SEO strategies are always created with one goal in mind - return on your investment.

Our strategies use tactics that focus on driving the quickest growth to the areas of your website that will benefit your balance sheet most quickly.

We aim to get you on the first page of search results where your potential customers are looking.

Technical SEO

Technical SEO is the foundation of any effective SEO strategy. It's the baseline of SEO and ensures that website crawlers can understand your website clearly and efficiently. If the crawlers can't understand your website, they can't appreciate the great content you produce!

Ascensor is a Leeds SEO agency with a love of technical SEO, but we also know how to prioritise what matters to ensure you get ROI from your bespoke SEO campaigns. We cover mobile usability, site structure and website load speed as part of every technical review, since all three directly affect how search engines crawl, interpret and rank your pages.

On-page SEO

We'll ensure your on-page SEO is absolutely solid and the markup is in place to ensure the search engine crawlers can understand your document structure and the content you are presenting to them. Our SEO experts are always up to date with the latest algorithm updates and Google search trends, so we know what works with which search engines to get you ranking on the first results page. Internal linking is part of our on-page work too, helping search engines understand the relationship between your pages and distributing authority across your site.

Digital PR & link building

Our digital PR and link-building services are different from your standard SEO link-building approach offered by some SEO agencies, because times have changed.

Digital PR is about creating genuine exposure for your brand in a more traditional sense, but using more modern and sophisticated techniques to allow you to stand out and gain coverage, as vying for journalists’ time becomes ever more competitive.

We put together bespoke campaigns and content marketing strategies that create real stories, deliver high-quality backlinks and engage with your new audience where they hang out. A strong backlink profile is one of the most reliable indicators of domain authority, and every campaign we run is built with that long-term foundation in mind.

Content strategy

We conduct extensive keyword research to create a powerful content strategy that pinpoints exactly what your customers are searching for. We assess search intent for every keyword we target, so the pages we optimise are built to match what potential customers are genuinely looking for.

This informs future content creation and ensures that your website content is focused, relevant and perfectly poised to engage and convert your target audience.

We identify keywords your website can rank for based on search volume and competition to help you rank highly in search results and drive traffic through to optimised landing pages.

We include regular updates on ranking performance and any actions taken on your site from organic traffic as a result of search engine clicks.

Content creation and optimisation

Our content creation and optimisation specialists work across a range of content formats, depending on the requirements of your website.

We're well versed in creating commercial and service page content that pops, while also driving the right signals to appeal to the search engine algorithms.

We create bespoke content strategies that engage readers and answer the questions your new customers want to find the answers to.

Our SEO specialists can also conduct one-off SEO audits for your website to identify pain points and required strategy actions.

Generative engine optimisation

The way people search online is changing. AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews are reshaping how users find information.

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) focuses on making your content visible within AI-generated search responses. It's about structuring information so that AI engines can interpret, cite and recommend your brand when users ask questions.

At Ascensor, we're already helping clients prepare for this shift. We can optimise your content to increase its chances of being featured in AI-driven results, giving you a head start as these tools claim a bigger share of the search market.

Want to future-proof your SEO strategy? Get in touch to explore how GEO can fit into your marketing plan.

How do you know if SEO is successful?

An increase in organic traffic as a result of keyword ranking improvements is a great indication that your SEO strategy is working - but, what ultimately matters, is growth in sales or lead conversions.
We work closely with our clients to discover the goals they want to achieve from SEO, and whether that's to promote services or build an organic presence in search results, we provide transparent and comprehensive reporting on how your goals are being achieved through SEO.

What is the benefit of using an agency to manage my SEO?

If you're looking for long-term success with regular strategy reviews and expert support whenever you need it, you will benefit greatly from the help of a leading SEO company.
From technical SEO to content creation, there are many key elements to consider as part of a successful SEO strategy that many businesses don't have the time, expertise or resources to devote to gaining meaningful results. SEO is also one of the most cost effective long-term marketing channels available, generating compounding returns as your rankings grow over time.

How long does SEO take?

It is difficult to determine the exact length of time it will take to begin to see ranking improvement as it depends on many different factors.
The authority of your website, the competitiveness of the search terms you're targeting and user experience can all have a huge impact on ranking performance.
The marketing expertise at Ascensor spans across copywriting and content marketing to paid ads and CRO, and we can call upon the knowledge of each department's experts to ensure everything is optimised to its full potential to get your keywords ranking well.

HubSpot is a very capable, yet complex CRM and marketing system. We’ve adopted it at Schofield Sweeney but weren’t getting the most out of it. Thanks to working with Ascensor we’ve been able to make big improvements to all our automations, including meeting sequencing, nurturing and follow-up.

Senior Project Manager

Once I had made the decision to create a new website, there was only one company to talk to, Ascensor. Their level of technical expertise, design options, project management and customer service is second to none and they held my hand through the whole process, being patient when I made changes and prompting me when content or decisions were due. I now have five websites built by Ascensor, with another on the way.

Managing Director

We approached Ascensor because of their excellent track record in improving clients' ROI through digital marketing. We were aware we operate in a competitive sector, but from the outset Ascensor set out a clear roadmap of what they would achieve and when, and the activity that would enable this. The results so far have been fantastic.
