Three numbers. Every one of them ours, and every one of them earned before we asked anyone to pay us for the same thing.
Operators,
Not Consultants.
Most agencies sell you a channel they have only ever spent other people's money on. We came at it the other way round.
We learned search by living or dying by it — building an audience of 628,000 on YouTube with nothing but organic content strategy and search understanding, then proving the same instinct worked for a real business down the road in North East Lincolnshire. We have put our own budget on the line in paid search, on our own products, where a bad keyword decision costs us directly.
That is the difference between advice and experience. When we tell you a tactic works, it is because we have already paid to find out — and when we tell you one doesn't, that is worth more.
No black box
Every recommendation traces back to real data — search volume, competitor gap analysis, spend benchmarks. If we can't show you the logic, we won't say it.
You get live dashboards, raw performance data and a monthly check-in. No surprises, and nothing you can't verify yourself.
We never promise rankings. Google decides those. We promise the work, and we show it to you.
Where It Was Learned
Three places we tested this before selling it.
628,000 Subscribers, Organically
Grown with organic content strategy, YouTube SEO and audience research — understanding how search algorithms choose what to surface, and giving them what they reward.
That is the same muscle behind ranking a page on Google and getting quoted in an AI answer.
Feeds: SEO and AI search optimisation.
3–4 Jobs a Month → 5+ a Week
A local removals business in North East Lincolnshire, taken from near-invisible to page one and holding — with local SEO, Google Business Profile management and targeted Google Ads.
Consistent 5-star Google reviews every time compounded the local rankings further.
Feeds: Local SEO, Google Business Profile and Google Ads.
Our Own Money, Our Own Risk
We run an Amazon private-label store of our own — bidding our own budget on keywords, in a live marketplace, where getting it wrong costs us and nobody else.
It is on this page for one reason: it is evidence we have spent our own money on paid search. Amazon marketplace management is not a service IBIX sells.
Feeds: how we think about Google Ads.
Deliberately few clients
We cap the number of businesses we work with at once instead of filling a pipeline. It means we sometimes say no, or ask you to wait until capacity opens up.
It also means nobody's account quietly becomes the one that gets the leftovers.
The Person Who
Audits It Does It.
There is no account manager relaying your questions to a team you never meet, and no subcontractor doing the work under our name. You deal directly with the people doing it — that is the entire reason the client list stays small.
Every engagement starts the same way: a full audit, then a clear 90-day plan you approve before any work begins. You pay for work that moves rankings, traffic and booked business — not for a retainer that exists to justify itself.
The depth of attention that gets results can't be rushed or outsourced. So we don't do either.
Who We Work Best With
We would rather tell you now than three months in.
You'll get value from us if…
- You're a small or mid-sized business where search is how customers actually find you — trades, services, local operators, B2B.
- You're in the UK, or in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf and need the work done properly in both English and Arabic.
- You want to understand what's being done and why, and you'll read the dashboard.
- You can give it 90 days. Search compounds; it doesn't switch on.
- You'd rather hear "that won't work" than be sold something that doesn't.
We're the wrong agency if…
- You need guaranteed page-one rankings by a fixed date. Nobody can honestly sell you that.
- You want social media management, branding or web design as the main event — we do search.
- You need Amazon marketplace or Amazon PPC management. We run our own store; we don't run anyone else's.
- You want the cheapest quote in the inbox. We're not it, and the cheapest rarely holds.
- You want an agency you never have to speak to. Ours needs about an hour of you a month.
About IBIX, Answered
IBIX is a search agency based in Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, trading as IBIX and registered in England and Wales as Lyco Sphere Ltd (company number 17155358). We help UK and Gulf businesses get found on Google and in AI answers. We work remotely across the UK and Saudi Arabia, so we work by phone, email and video rather than from a walk-in office.
Four things, all of them search: SEO (local and national), Google Ads, Google Business Profile setup and management, and AI search optimisation — making sure your business can be found and cited in AI answers such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity. We don't offer social media management, branding or anything outside search.
No. Grimsby is where we're based and where our local SEO results were earned, but the work is done remotely, so location isn't a constraint. We work with businesses across the UK and in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, and we build and optimise in both English and Arabic.
Deliberately few. The depth of attention that produces results can't be rushed or outsourced, so we cap the number of active clients rather than fill a pipeline. It means we sometimes say no, or ask you to wait for capacity — and it means the person who audits your site is the person who does the work on it.
We do it ourselves. There's no account manager relaying messages to a team you never meet, and no offshore link-building subcontractor. You deal directly with the people doing the work, which is the whole reason the client list is kept small.
No, and nobody honestly can — rankings are Google's decision, not ours. What we commit to is the work: a full audit, a clear 90-day plan you approve before anything starts, and raw performance data you can check yourself. Anyone promising guaranteed page one in 30 days is selling something that won't hold.
No. We run our own Amazon private-label store with our own money, and we mention it only as evidence that we've spent our own budget on paid search rather than only clients'. It is not a service IBIX sells. If you need Amazon marketplace management, we're not the right agency and we'll say so.
It starts with a free audit: we look at where you're losing search visibility and tell you whether it's worth fixing — including when the honest answer is no. Cost depends on scope, and we quote in writing before any work begins. Our guides to SEO pricing in the UK and digital marketing costs in Saudi Arabia set out the real numbers involved.
LET'S TALK.
Start with a free audit. We'll show you where you stand against competitors, and tell you honestly whether it's worth fixing.
