About

Born out of lockdown in early 2020, we first operated under the name Cabana before rebranding to Searchmode in 2023.

We help SMEs across the UK to generate more leads from their websites by implementing SEO strategies tailored to their objectives, audience, and industry.

We primarily work with those in the professional service, travel, and healthcare sectors.

Mission

Our mission is to empower and develop SMEs using SEO.

We know that hiring an in-house team of SEO specialists isn’t feasible for every business. And, as a marketing manager or business operator, you don’t have the time to do it yourself. That’s why we’re here – to be an extension of your team.

We aim to make sure every client feels supported in their journey, educated about the choices we make, and thoroughly impressed with the results we deliver.

Consistent positive results from the work Searchmode have done for us.

They’re easy to work with, reliable, and they do a quality job for our company.”

Nick Hyland, Founding Director at Track Capital

Why work with us?

Every agency says things like, “We have years of experience”, “Our team are experts” and “We have a results-driven approach”.

And sure, we have those things too, but what actually sets us apart are three things:

  • Personal service: We’re a small team. With us, you aren’t just another account like at bigger agencies. Instead, you’re a valuable partner.
  • Freedom and flexibility: We value trust over binding contracts. Instead of locking clients into lengthy agreements, we operate on a rolling monthly basis. If you ever feel the need to reassess, you have the freedom to do so with just 30 days’ notice.
  • Long-term relationships: Since we started, we’ve maintained a staggering 80% client retention rate. If the vast majority of our clients choose to stick around, it speaks volumes about how they value our work.
