Jackie and her team proved to be invaluable with their advise on Google Ads. Everything she and Terri explained was clear and made perfect sense, and it became very obvious that we were being advised by a very profession team. I can highly recommend them.

Key Principles are an excellent digital marketing agency who focus very much on you getting a tangible ROI on your investment in their services. They offer lots of suggestions and are not afraid to challenge any decisions or processes you may have in place or are thinking of implementing if they feel there may be better ways of dealing with any issues or objectives, and in order to make the very best of your budget to generate leads. Their help, support and advice regarding J-Flex Rubber Products online ad campaigns, website SEO, blog writing and marketing in general is worth every penny and coupled with the fact they are easy to get on with, is why they are my go-to crew for these things.

I cannot believe it's been 4 years to be honest! Thanks for everything you and the team have done during that period, we're in a much better place as a result. I hope you can continue supporting us for the years to come too.

I can’t say I’ve had any horrors with Google ads representatives but I’ve had some proper horrors with PPC ad agencies! Some wanted to spend my budget at any expense, placing my ads on affiliate sites that were totally irrelevant to my target audience; some insisted on using their own platforms meaning I had no visibility on my real costs - it was all murkiness and obfuscation; some just didn’t know what they were doing, meaning PPC was a bottomless pit with questionable return.

Having experienced all of that, I’m delighted with the service from the Key Principles team who are always friendly, open and totally transparent - the polar opposite to what I’d experienced before.

We have been working with Jackie and her team at Key Principles for over 10 months now. We have been really impressed with their service and quality of work. They clearly have extensive knowledge in their fields but also deliver in a friendly and supportive manner. We really enjoy working with them and very pleased with their results.

We’ve been working with Jackie and her team at Key Principles for well over 2 years now and we are impressed! They continue to look for improvements and ways to help us grow our business. Most recently, following a review meeting, we agreed some changes that has finally led to us smashing a long standing target. We’d been stuck on 30 instructions per month for a while. Working in partnership with Key Principles, we recently managed 50 instructions which was amazing. We are so thrilled, we just hope it maintains and we keep growing.

Lovely group of people who have managed to steadily get to know our business with regular meetings and increase our enquiries which we were so lacking. It’s difficult to find people to trust in modern marketing with so many claiming to know about Google ads, SEO, eshots etc when they really don’t but Key Principles have proved they know what they are doing. A long term partner I feel I can trust to be proactive with my marketing spend.

I have worked with Key Principles for a while now to investigate and implement some complex CRM, payment and website issues. The team is very diligent and pleasant to work with, and were especially quick to solve some serious security issues we experienced. Recommended!

We took a PPC day course with Key Principles and it has been a great success for our PPC accounts. Terri Foster, who run the course, took time to understand our objectives and goals and created a bespoke course agenda to suit our training needs. Terri is an excellent presenter with wealth of PPC and overall marketing knowledge and experience. She helped us make big and small improvements to our accounts which had a direct impact on efficiency of our account. She also provided us with many free tools and resources to help us improving our account’s performance in the future. Thank you very much Terri and Key Principles.

Jackie and the team at Key Principles are really knowledgeable and very helpful. They supported me through a recent rebranding exercise and have taken measures to improve our paid ad spend results, whilst looking at search and putting a plan in place to drive additional organic traffic to our site. I can't recommend highly enough.

Key Principles have been excellent to work with over the past couple of years. They've helped me implement tracking and analytics to my site, as well as taking care of various bits of web design and the service has always been quick, well explained and exactly to requirements. Highly recommend.

A friendly, helpful and knowledgeable agency. Over the time I've worked with Jackie, Malik and the rest of the team they've come up with great suggestions to develop and improve my client's digital marketing and measurement processes. They're flexible, understand budget and priority constraints and pressures and are quite simply a nice bunch of people to collaborate with.

I had the pleasure of speaking with both Malik and Jackie from Key Principles.

Once I made them aware of my situation and needs they were quick to put together a solution that could help me long term and at a great price.

I feel far more confident in my SEO and website.

Thank you so very much to Malik and Jackie.

Very efficient team, my daily contact it very approachable, he is very responsive and always happy to help and explain things if I don't understand as I am not an SEO expert. I love that they come to me with both short & long term solutions to improve the sites performance.

I have nothing to say but good things about Key Principles. They manage my organisation's google grants account. Malik is always super helpful and responsive to our requests. They are friendly and always keen to help.
In my opinion they will put as much into the relationship as you do. Meaning, they are not the most proactive - but If you don't ask you don't get in life. 😉

Jackie and her team have been helping us to grow a new area of the business, which has been really successful. We have had plenty of new work which is keeping us really busy!

Jackie and Malik keep all of the projects under regular review and keep us updated on performance and cost. They always take the time to understand the service that we are offering and work with us to make sure that the content reflects on our business as we would like it to. The results speak for themselves.

SEO Audit FAQs

How often should I do an SEO audit?

We recommend that every business should audit their SEO at least once a year but it could be quarterly for a large business that relies heavily on organic search for sales. The more reliance your business has on organic search as a channel the more time and resource you should invest.

How long will my audit take?

The audit typically takes 5 – 10 working days to complete following our initial consultation but this can vary based on the size of the site. We will be sure to provide you with more accurate timescales in our proposal and a deadline will be agreed in our inital consultation.

How much does an audit cost?

Our audits start from free, going up to £750 + VAT for a specialist audit, and the final price depends on the size of the website being reviewed as well as the type of site. A large ecommerce site has more content and data to review than a local service based website. Get in touch with our team to request an SEO audit quote for your site.

What is technical, on-page and off-page SEO?

So our audit is broken down into these three sections but what do they mean? Well technical SEO is all of the behind the scenes bits that your users don’t usually see such as the site structure, the HTML code, the structured data etc. The on-page elements are things your users do see such as title tags, description tags, headings, images and content. Finally, off-page SEO is to do with the elements that aren’t on your site including external links, domain authority, reviews of your business and social media.
