Three numbers, all ours, all earned before we asked anyone to pay us for the same thing.
We Learned It
Paying For It.
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 organic content and search understanding, then proving the same thing worked for a 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.
When we say a tactic works, it is because we have already paid to find out. When we say one doesn't, that is worth more.
You see it all
Every recommendation comes with the figure behind it, usually a search volume or what a competitor is doing. If we can't show you why, we don't recommend it.
You get live dashboards, raw performance data and a monthly check-in. Nothing you can't check 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: working out 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 to 4 Jobs a Month → 5+ a Week
A local removals business in North East Lincolnshire, taken from near-invisible to 5+ booked jobs a week in two to three months, with local SEO, Google Business Profile management and targeted Google Ads.
A steady run of 5-star Google reviews pushed 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 instead of filling a pipeline. Sometimes that means we say no, or ask you to wait for capacity.
It also means nobody's account quietly becomes the one that gets the leftovers.
The Person Who
Audits It Does It.
You deal directly with the people doing the work, and nobody else does it under our name. That is the reason we cap the number of clients.
Every engagement starts the same way: a full audit, then a 90-day plan you approve before work begins. You pay for a stated number of hours each month, spent on the work that moves traffic and booked business, and you see what those hours went on.
Every hour you pay for is an hour we worked ourselves.
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 a UK business and want the work done properly, by the person who does it.
- You want to understand what's being done and why, and you'll read the dashboard.
- You can give it 90 days. Search builds up over time; 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.
Before You Hire Us
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 businesses get found on Google and in AI answers. We work with businesses across the UK, 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 also build websites and offer an optional Website Care Plan for ongoing upkeep, but we don't offer social media management, branding or anything further outside that.
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.
Deliberately few. We cap the number of active clients so the same person can do the work on each one. 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 90-day plan you approve before anything starts, and raw performance data you can check yourself. Anyone promising 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. Prices are published on each service page. Scope is agreed in writing before any work begins, and a retainer buys a stated number of hours each month. Our guide to SEO pricing in the UK sets out the real numbers involved.
