TJ Creative was founded by Tom Blake, an SEO and content marketing specialist with over 10 years’ experience helping businesses grow online.
That experience includes managing & optimising Sony’s website content, leading content marketing at Checkatrade, and helping brands including the AA and BSM grow their visibility through SEO.
Today, that experience is put to work helping startups and small/medium businesses get found by more customers and turn their websites into a genuine source of new business.
We want to understand where you want to take your business and use SEO and content to help you get there.
As a business owner himself, Tom understands that marketing isn’t just another number on a report.
It’s your money, and it needs to work hard for your business.
From some of the UK’s biggest brands to growing local businesses, we’ve used SEO to help businesses get found, reach more customers and grow.
While leading content marketing at Checkatrade, Tom worked on the SEO strategy that helped the brand build strong visibility across Portsmouth trade searches. Covering everything from plumbers and electricians to builders and roofers.
Our SEO and content work helped ECS increase website traffic by 35% in 90 days, with gross sales growing by 3,914% over a six-month comparison period.
We helped Chichester Carpet Cleaning expand across the South Coast, reaching 3rd on Google for “carpet cleaning Portsmouth” and the surrounding areas.
Yes, different businesses, but all saw huge growth online.
Every business is different, so we won’t give you a generic SEO checklist and call it a strategy.
We’ll look at where the actual opportunities are for your business.
Being based in Portsmouth gives businesses plenty of opportunities.
You might want customers specifically in Portsmouth itself, or your potential customers could be searching across Southsea, Cosham, Hilsea, Portchester, Fareham, Havant and the wider Hampshire area.
We’ll look at where your customers are, what they’re searching for and how far they’re likely to travel for what you offer.
For a Portsmouth trades business, that could mean appearing when homeowners search for your service in the areas you cover.
For a professional service, it might mean attracting enquiries from across Portsmouth and the wider South Coast.
And if you sell online, your opportunity might extend across the whole of the UK.
Your SEO strategy should reflect how your business actually makes money – not simply the postcode your office happens to be in.
We’ll start by understanding what you do, who your customers are, where you operate and what growth looks like for you.
We’ll look at your existing website, what your customers search for and where there are opportunities to improve your visibility.
We’ll prioritise the work that we believe can make the biggest difference – from improving existing pages to creating new content and strengthening your website.
SEO is an ongoing process. We’ll make improvements, monitor what’s happening and continue looking for opportunities to grow.
We’ll keep you updated on the work we’re doing, what we’re seeing and what we recommend doing next.
This is impossible to answer for you. But our general guidance is that you need to allow at least six months to see meaningful results for your business.
At TJ, prices start from £500 per month for SEO. The more budget you have to invest in your SEO, the more output to get your business showing and growing online.
Maybe. It’s worth us discussing, but my initial question would be, what’s your marketing budget?
Best way to view SEO is investing in your growth now and the future.
Paid advertisement (Google PPC or social media ads) is instant brand exposure, and preferably instant purchases – but this is not guaranteed. Only thing guaranteed is you will spend your marketing budget fast.
