Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SEO and PPC?

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the process of improving your website so it ranks higher in organic search results over time. PPC (Pay-Per-Click) is paid advertising, typically Google Ads, where your business appears at the top of search results immediately in exchange for a cost-per-click. SEO builds long-term visibility and compounds over time. PPC delivers fast results and precise targeting but stops the moment you stop paying. Most businesses benefit from running both in parallel, with PPC driving leads in the short term while SEO builds the foundation for sustainable organic growth.

How long does SEO take to show results?

SEO is a long-term investment. For most businesses, meaningful movement in rankings typically begins within three to six months, with more significant results visible at the six to twelve month mark. The timeline depends on factors including how competitive your industry is, the current technical health of your website, and how consistently new content is published. We set realistic expectations from the start and provide monthly reporting so you can see exactly what is improving and why. The businesses that benefit most from SEO are those who treat it as an ongoing discipline rather than a one-time fix.

Do I need SEO if I am already running Google Ads?

Yes - and here is why. Google Ads puts you in front of people who are actively searching, but the moment your budget runs out, your visibility disappears. SEO builds a durable presence in organic results that continues generating traffic without an ongoing cost-per-click. Running both in parallel is usually the most effective strategy: PPC gives you immediate reach and conversion data, while SEO reduces your dependence on paid spend over time. We help clients manage both channels in a coordinated way so each one reinforces the other.

What does your SEO process look like?

We start with a full technical audit of your website - identifying crawl issues, page speed problems, and any structural factors holding your rankings back. From there we carry out keyword research to identify the terms your customers are actually using and map them to the right pages. We then work through on-page optimisation, content improvements, and any technical fixes. For ongoing retainer clients, this is followed by monthly monitoring, reporting, and continuous refinement. Everything is tracked through Google Search Console and Analytics so you always have a clear picture of what is performing.

How do you measure and report on results?

We report on the metrics that actually matter to your business - organic traffic growth, keyword ranking movement, leads generated, and return on ad spend for PPC. Monthly reports are clear and plain-English, with commentary on what changed and what we are doing next. We connect your accounts to Google Analytics and Google Search Console so the data is always yours, independently verifiable, and not locked behind our tooling. For PPC clients we also report on impression share, click-through rate, conversion rate, and cost-per-lead so you can see exactly where your budget is going.

Is SEO or PPC the right choice for my business?

It depends on where you are in your growth journey. If you need leads quickly - for a new product launch, a seasonal campaign, or while your website is still establishing its organic presence - PPC is the faster route. If you are building for the long term and want to reduce your dependence on paid spend, SEO is a foundational investment. For most of our clients in Kendal and Cumbria, the strongest results come from running a coordinated strategy across both. We are happy to talk through your situation and give an honest recommendation on where to focus first.

Can't thank Emma enough. She was so helpful from start to finish. I really had no idea what I was doing or even what I wanted. Emma rang several times and always checked in weekly with emails to help guide me in the process. I am so happy with the website — it looks amazing and I've had a lot of interest in my work and quite a few new clients since launching. She designed all my logos, colours, pictures and branding which look great. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!

The site has been built to support the needs of our business as it grows internationally and brings together both our B2B and B2C areas. We are especially pleased with how well the website integrates with our wider systems, helping to streamline the way we manage our day-to-day ecommerce operations. Overall, the new website feels polished and professional - we are very happy with the result.

Brilliant service from Emma & Miles at Digital Otter. They created a fantastic online shop/website for us, and weren't phased by the addition of a bespoke recipe builder. Great communication and support through the whole process - the end results exceeded expectations, and brought our vision to life. Highly recommend. Many thanks from Steve & Kath, the Grain Over Sands team

Emma at Digital Otter has been absolutely amazing with helping to create my website, I had no clue where to start and she has made the most beautiful page perfect for my products and audience and was a completely seamless process, including check ins and working away in the background after discussing what I needed and within a short space of time it was pretty much ready. She took the stress of it completely off my hands.
