Sites are ranked by PR and Alexa ranking.
Only companies that specialise in search engine optimisation have been listed. Although some exceptions have been made, David Naylor being one.
Search terms used to find these links: uk seo, british search engine optimisation, uk search engine optimisation.
If you know of an individual or business who is not on this list, please let me know in the comments below. I will only add those offering SEO services only, web designers will not be added.
So what does this data mean?
Should you chose an SEO service based only on this data? Of course not. It’s intended as a loose guide to SEO services in the UK at this time. A snapshot if you will.
Should you employ an seo company with a low pr and a low Alexa ranking? Absolutely not. If an SEO company cannot get links, cannot get people to visit their website, it does not bode well for your own chances.
Most web designers offer an SEO service but I would argue this is hardly worth the effort. A teeny bit of SEO may get a few pages cached and allow you to rank for your domain and obscure search terms, but I doubt revenue earning keyword rankings will be aquired.
If you are serious about your online presence, you should employ specialists. The return on investment over a period of a year will easily pay for such services.
PR is a factor of time and a new company may not have time under their belt to rank. But surely they know all they have to do is to buy a high PR domain and 301 redirect to the new domain. Probably only cost a few grand.
If I were to set up an Enterprise Search Engine Optimisation company targeting blue chip clients, I would buy a crusty old domain with a bunch of backlinks for upto ?10,000. It would be the only spend in the marketing budget.
I would also publish a blog that offered useful and relavant information. I would use SEOmoz as a guide. This would encourage incoming links from sites in my sector. Any client scanning the blog would see current information being published that detailed best practice for an SEO service.
Free tools would also be available to the search industry to encourage links, goodwill and prestige. Along the lines of seobook.com and webuildpages.com
I would publish my photo on the website, yes I know that it may scare some people, but a personal image helps people connect. I absolutely would not put generic stock photos anywhere on the site, it shouts out amature.
I would offer linkbaiting and social media optimisation services. Any SEO company who is not current with such practices may not be current with other best practice. At the very least I would partner with any of the new linkbait services popping up and sub-contract them.
Design is important, image is important. The design of the web page is the first thing a client will see, it must be exciting and cutting edge. The site which caught my eye was SEOco, the design stood out from the rest of the crowd and the increased leading in the font made it a lot easier to read. This is a personal judgement and has a lot to do with fashion or percieved value.
The fact is, the lower down the list you go the worse the design gets. And yes I know the design of this site is not tip top, but I’m not pitching myself as an Enterprise level search engine optimiser. At least not at the moment.
Employing an seo consultant is all about return on investment. Will the cash you pay for seo services produce a decent enough return to be worth the effort? This is the question to ask yourself before employing an seo company

Hi there,
Some very interesting comments on here. We also would like to be added to your SEO list.
Thanks very much,
Judith
owner/seo & internet marketing specialist
Thanks for the list. We are looking an seo company and have talked to a few on the list who didnt mention that their ranking was so low!
What if an SEO company have a low Pagerank but have managed to get extremely high pagerank for their clients.
Also how important should pagerank really be as a measure of SEO success?
We are a web design company offering web design and SEO services for msll businesses. Our domain name is fairly new, about 7 months old so we only have a pagerank of 3 to 4 for our website pages. Considering our domain name is fairly new and we have not yet received a DMOZ listing, will our pagerank of 3 really be a measureof our true abilities?
Inspite of our page rank we have page1 rank in bit Google and Yahpp searches for about 4 or 5 keyword phrases and receive on an average 3 clients a month purely fro, Google searches.
As we only have a page rank of 3, does this still imply that we lack SEO skills?
I think with the current trend of constantly changing the goal posts when it comes to the google pr system doesnt help with seo efforts.
Then id think they are making themselves a good amount of money and portfolio :P
PR is not an accurate measure of a companys success, as they may have other sources such as word of mouth etc.
