I was looking to host a forum using SMF software. I was completely new to this sort of thing. Had a couple of hitches but the support has been really quick and sorted things out. Really impressed.

SEO that actually works
Most SEO feels like a scam because most SEO is a scam. Vague promises, mysterious methods, and reports full of vanity metrics that never translate to actual customers.
Real SEO is more mundane than the snake oil salesmen suggest. It's about technical foundations (can Google actually crawl and understand your site?), relevant content (do you have pages that answer what people are searching for?), and authority signals (do other reputable sites link to yours?).
There are no shortcuts. No "secret techniques." Just systematic work over time, executed properly, with realistic expectations about how long results take.
We won't promise you'll rank #1 for everything, and nobody honest can. But we will tell you exactly what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how to measure whether it's working.
Who should invest in SEO?
Our SEO services work best for:
Local service businesses
Plumbers, solicitors, accountants. If people search for your service in your area, you need to show up.
Established businesses ready to grow
You have a good website and proven business. Now you need more of the right people finding it.
Companies tired of paying for ads
PPC works but the costs never stop. SEO builds assets that keep delivering long after you stop paying.
Businesses with patience
SEO is a long game. If you need results this month, paid advertising is faster. SEO rewards those who can wait 6-12 months.
Honest note: SEO isn't for brand new businesses needing immediate leads, sites in massively competitive global markets with limited budgets, or anyone expecting overnight results. We'll tell you honestly if SEO isn't the right investment for your situation.
Our approach to SEO
Technical first. Before worrying about rankings, we ensure Google can actually crawl your site properly. Speed, structure, indexability. The foundations most agencies skip.
Content strategy, not content farms. We identify what your potential customers actually search for and help you create content that genuinely answers their questions. Quality over quantity, always.
Local focus. For most UK businesses, local SEO matters more than chasing national rankings. Google Business Profile, local citations, location-specific content. We know what moves the needle.
Transparent reporting. Monthly reports that show rankings, traffic, and most importantly, leads and conversions. Metrics that matter to your business, not SEO vanity numbers.
No black hat nonsense. We don't buy links, stuff keywords, or play games that might work temporarily but will eventually get you penalised. Every tactic we use is sustainable.
Why choose us for SEO?
Developers who do SEO
We actually build websites. We can implement technical fixes ourselves, not just hand you a report and walk away.
Honest about timeframes
We'll tell you upfront: SEO takes 6-12 months for significant results. If anyone promises faster, they're lying or cheating.
Integrated with web design
Sites we build are SEO-ready from day one. For existing sites, we fix the technical issues most agencies only report on.
UK-focused expertise
We understand UK search behaviour, local directories, and what works for businesses targeting British customers.

Straight talk
No jargon, no mystery, no bullshit. You'll understand exactly what we're doing and why it matters.
Content that actually ranks
We help you create content people search for, structured so Google understands it. Not keyword-stuffed rubbish.

What Clients Say About Our SEO
My current domain supplier suddenly went into administration meaning that I was losing the email service I’d used for 25 years. I contacted several hosting providers who wanted to take your money for a new account but couldn’t offer the transfer. However, Mark & the team were extremely helpful in sorting the transfer of my “unusual” domain to their services. I can’t recommend them enough especially after they expended a couple of painful days working behind the scenes & doing everything to facilitate the process. Thank you.
Mark @ 356i is a WIZARD. The work he has created on WordPress - Woocommerce is outstanding, Mark has created a game changing ecommerce store giving me absolutely satisfaction. His knowledge in the Web world is just impressive,their really isn't anything he doesn't know!
Mark provided superb service - rapid response, careful consideration of my requirements and great website design. Everything was wrapped up really quickly and with superb quality. Highly recommended.
Dear Mark and 365ico.uk, I'll be forever in your debt for the wonderful service, my business came into existence because of your undivided support and care.
Was very generous with his time late, at night. Guided me through an unusual technical change. Highly recommended.
Mark has been extremely helpful with some website and system issues we recently faced, offering easy solutions to all of the problems without any fuss at all. We cannot thank you enough for all of your help!
Whilst I haven't dealt with Mark directly as a client, a client of ours hosts with him and the dealings I have had with Mark have been great. Easy to talk to, helpful and knowledgeable.
Very helpful and cover every area. Mark especially is very effective in finding solutions for any queries you may have and goes the extra mile to assist. Overall, excellent service!
365i has dramatically speeded up our wordpress website which was beyond dlow! Great service from people who seem to genuinely care about their customers. Thanks so much. N

Quality SEO services in the UK typically cost £500-£2,000+ per month for ongoing work. One-off audits range from £300-£1,500. Be wary of very cheap offerings. Effective SEO requires genuine expertise and time investment.
