Job Description
We achieve this by combining intelligent algorithms with smart people. We have our own prescriptive marketing platform called Apollo Insights that collates all 3rd party data sources and uses highly-intelligent algorithms to tell you what's happening with your website, why it's happening and exactly what to do about it. This liberates our search marketing experts from time-consuming, manual analysis and enables them to focus purely on marketing your business.
This means that your marketing budget is spent being proactive which in turn gets you effective results. You also have peace of mind that you're getting the most thorough and efficient search marketing service in the industry.
For over 15 years, we have been leading the way in search marketing, pioneering innovative techniques that keep our customers ahead of their competitors. Our customers range from SMEs to enterprise-level, including the likes of UK Mail, Text Local, Premiership Rugby, Ordnance Survey and Arqiva.
