SPECIALIST SEO AGENCY HELPING BRANDS GROW

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving your website so it shows up more prominently in search results for relevant terms. But it’s not all about search rankings and keywords, it’s about making sure the right people can find you at the right time. When done properly, SEO helps you increase traffic, leads and sales by making your site more visible, useful and relevant to your audience.

We use the analogy that backlinks are like trusted recommendations from other websites. When high-quality, relevant sites link to your content, it signals to search engines that your site is credible and worth surfacing. Done strategically, backlinks help boost your authority, increase your rankings for relevant search terms and open up new traffic streams like ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews.

Before someone else says it, no, SEO is not dead and it’s still worth it! The way people search is indeed evolving, but the need for helpful, relevant, well-structured content hasn’t changed. If anything, AI tools like Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) and LLMs have raised the bar for SEO agencies to evolve and maintain white-hat SEO practices, so make sure you’re ready for the new phase of SEO.

On-page, or onsite SEO is everything you do on your own site to make it more visible, like improving content, titles, meta data, internal links and user experience. Off-page SEO on the other hand, is about what happens beyond your site – things like backlinks, PR coverage and signals from other websites that build your credibility. Both matter, and both should work together.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but WordPress is one of the most SEO-friendly platforms out there (43.5% of websites are built using it!), especially when set up properly with the right theme and structure.

Yes you will, and more than that, you’ll have someone who genuinely understands your business and is personable. They’re your main point of contact and will keep everything on track, supported by an experienced team of SEO specialists behind the scenes.

We don’t do cookie-cutter pricing, because no two businesses have the same needs. Your costs will depend on factors like your website’s size, your goals and the level of support you’re after – whether that’s ongoing strategy or help with a specific project. What we will always give you during the discovery phase is a clear scope, upfront pricing and advice that makes sense for your stage of growth.

We keep communication clear and consistent, so you’re always in the loop. Expect a monthly report that covers SEO performance, key insights and next steps, along with regular check-ins to keep things on track. If something shifts or a new opportunity arises, we’ll bring it to you, not the other way around.

Not at all. While we’re based on the South Coast and have a strong local presence in Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester, Chichester, Fareham, Guildford and across Hampshire, Sussex and Surrey, we partner with brands nationwide. From Bournemouth to Bristol, Manchester to Edinburgh, we deliver data-led SEO strategies for clients across the UK.

Some SEO wins can happen quickly, whilst others take time. In most cases, you’ll see early improvements within the first few months, with more significant growth building over time. We combine quick wins with long-term strategy so you see momentum early and meaningful progress that lasts the test of time!

Every SEO strategy starts with listening. We take the time to understand your business, your audience and the problems you’re trying to solve. From there, we run a technical audit to identify site health issues, carry out keyword and competitor research, and shape a tailored, data-led, search-first strategy.

We make it our business to stay ahead. From major Google algorithm updates to the latest shifts in AI and user behaviour, our team keeps a close eye on what’s changing and ultimately, what it means for your site. As thought leaders in the search space, we don’t just follow trends; we challenge and interpret them, turning noise into clear, practical decisions. And because we’re constantly testing and learning, your SEO strategy stays fresh, relevant and ahead of the curve.

We use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in smart and creative ways, but always with human input (don’t worry, you won’t get 3 ChatGPT written blogs a month!). Our focus is on adding real value, not generating content for the sake of it. If AI can help us do better work, faster, we’ll use it. If it’s not the right fit, we won’t force it. Simple as that!

Yes, and we’ve successfully done it many times. Whether you’re replatforming, merging domains, redesigning your site or switching CMS, we’ll help you plan, execute and protect your online visibility throughout. Our SEO and development teams work closely together to ensure nothing gets lost in the move – from redirect mapping and tracking to structural improvements and pre/post-launch QA, we’re here to make the transition smooth and search-ready.

At boxChilli, our core values (integrity, creativity and client focus) are built into everything we do. They guide how we think, how we communicate and how we measure success. We’re transparent with what’s working and what isn’t, not just when it’s easy. We look for original ways to solve problems and adapt strategies, even when the landscape shifts. And we make sure every decision we make is shaped around your goals and evidence-based data.
