    As experts in their field, they can repair almost any manufactured hard surface. This includes metals, plastics, and wood. Their expert skillset is highly sort after in new builds, refurbishment, and renovation projects.

    Merlin Repairs came to SOS Creativity needing website design, hosting and maintenance, and a digital marketing solution for search engine optimisation. As winners of Digital Marketing Agency of the year North-West 2021 and Best Web Design & Development Company 2021, we were excited to take up the challenge.

    After confirming the designs with the client and implementing changes based on feedback, we began our development process, which included a range of tests, including but not limited to stress testing and responsive use testing.

    We also provide high standards of website maintenance. As award-winning website development specialists, we can identify many issues before they present themselves, often working proactively rather than reactionary.

    Following our comprehensive 15-step on-site SEO process and our 8-step off-site SEO process, we implemented a thorough Search Engine Optimisation strategy for Merlin Repairs to help them climb the search engine results page and outrank their competitors. Our SEO experts used various techniques and strategies to optimise Merlin Repairs’ website, including technical SEO, toxic link disavowal, and Google indexing.

    We often describe SEO as a slow-moving giant. SEO can take six months to see results, if not longer, but their impact is significant and long-lasting when SEO results arrive. After steady gains, 15 keywords are featured in the top 3 search results, with more than 34 on the first page!

    This is fantastic progress. We look forward to the future gains for Merlin Repairs and its SEO campaign.

    If you would like more information regarding our North-west web design & SEO services, or if you would like to book a consultation, please don’t hesitate to contact our team by calling 01204 292 388.

    SOS Creativity and Stephen have been great to work with. Our website went down at 8pm on a Thursday night and they went above and beyond to sort it out, out of hours. Couldn’t have asked for them to do any more. Great experience from the start!

    Stephen and the team at SOS have been helping Car Crushers with our advertising campaign for the last 3 months. We were worried about hearing some horror stories about companies being ripped off on PPC and Ad Words campaigns, the transparency we received working with SOS put our worries at ease and we had full confidence in the team to help us moving forward. They had to start from scratch and have been very accommodating to our needs and are more than happy to help. The team are very polite and friendly and we are really happy with the service provided so far. We would highly recommend SOS Creativity to those looking to venture into the world of PPC or Ad Word campaigns cutting the jargon out and making it clear what will be undertaken and what to expect. Many thanks
