Why we exist
Most small businesses face an impossible choice: pay agency retainers designed for corporate clients, gamble on cheap providers who over-promise and under-deliver, or try to figure out SEO alone on top of running a business.
SEO Management was founded to close that gap. We deliver the same calibre of work you'd get from a large search agency — technical audits, keyword strategy, content that ranks and clear monthly reporting — priced and structured for businesses without an agency-sized marketing budget.
No jargon, no lock-in contracts, no vanity metrics. Just steady, measurable growth in the search results that matter to your business — including the AI answers your customers are starting to trust. That's why AI SEO & GEO sits alongside classic search in every plan we run.
Meet the founder
Simon Griffith
Simon has spent 18 years in SEO and digital marketing — agency-side, in-house and as a consultant — before founding SEO Management. His career spans senior SEO consultancy and head-of-marketing roles at specialist search and creative agencies, leading technical audits, site optimisation and search strategy for businesses of every size.
Along the way he saw the same pattern again and again: the businesses that needed search visibility most — independent shops, local trades, growing service firms — were the ones least able to afford it. The strategies worked, but the price tags didn't fit.
Born from necessity
SEO Management wasn't born from a business plan. It was born from necessity — from watching good small businesses priced out of the one channel that could have transformed them, and knowing exactly how to fix it.
Eighteen years in search teaches you what actually moves the needle and, just as importantly, what agencies charge for that doesn't. Strip out the account layers, the padded retainers and the reporting theatre, and what's left is the work itself: research, technical fixes, content, authority and honest measurement. That's the agency Simon built — everything that works at the top end of the industry, made accessible to the businesses big agencies overlook.
Simon studied at Norwich University of the Arts and works from Norwich, supporting small businesses UK-wide. When he's not deep in a Search Console report, he's keeping a close eye on where search is heading next — so our clients are always a step ahead.
How we work
- Honest pricing — clear plans built for small business budgets, with no long lock-in contracts. See our pricing.
- Results you can see — a plain-English report every month: what we did, what changed, what's next. Rankings, traffic and enquiries, not vanity metrics.
- Proper technical work — from site audits to Search Console fixes, we do the unglamorous work that actually moves rankings.
- Ahead of the curve — classic SEO plus AI SEO & GEO, so you show up in AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity as well as Google.
- A real person, not a ticket queue — you deal directly with the people doing the work, with questions answered in plain English, usually the same day.
