The SEO agency Stockport didn’t see coming
Something’s off – poor keyword rankings? No leads? Zero traffic? Whatever the diagnosis, it sounds like you need an SEO agency. Otherwise, why would you be here?
We’re not like every other SEO agency. Stockport businesses call on us to be their salvation because they know we actually give a hoot about what matters (making you money). We won’t tell you to redo your website or make new category pages if it’s not necessary. Instead, our Stockport SEO experts dive deep into your site to find out exactly what’s going wrong. Then we fix it and make you heaps of cash.
What’s that we hear? Is it the jingle-jangle of coins in your pocket? Or the sound of your competitors’ sobs echoing through the Underbanks? We’ll settle for both.
Stockport; SEO salvation is here
“SEO results take time to show” is a common spiel used by self-proclaimed SEO ninjas (vomit) that probably worship Neil Patel as a guru. But let’s be real – your site isn’t going to magically rank on page 1 overnight.
If your current Stockport SEO agency is taking longer than the 192 at rush hour, we’re sorry to say you’re being conned. Don’t fall for their tricks. We’re more like the X92 – we get you where you need to be, no pointless stops. Come under Dark Horse protection and say goodbye to empty promises. We’re local, so we can come and see you for a chinwag in person, whether you’re in Stockport town centre, the Heatons, Cheadle, Marple, Reddish, or anywhere else. We don’t discriminate.
No more deceptive reports shrouding their poor results with reach and impressions. No tricks, no illusions. Just SEO. And the truth. Death to mediocrity.

Luxury e-commerce brand, Luxe Collective, absolutely smashed its marketing on social media.

From the shadowy alleys of the Stockport viaducts, it sent a signal for salvation. Dark Horse was waiting for the call.

A 156% increase in organic sessions
Rhino Safety is a leading safety consultancy group. They came to Dark Horse with a challenge of increasing current search visibility and conversions.
First, we conducted an audit to see where the issues lay and then developed strategy. This helped to communicate to Rhino Safety what the plan of action was and develop strong lines of communication.
All three arms of SEO got to work. Tech SEO focused on crawlability, structure and page speed. In-depth keyword research was undertaken and this formed the blueprint for the creation of content for key, new service pages. The Digital PR team created numerous campaigns to gain valuable links from publications including The Daily Mail, Business Cheshire, Real Homes and Health & Safety Practitioner.
Rhino Safety saw an increase of 156% in organic sessions and a 159% in new organic users. Storm.
