We work with big brands, and those that aspire to be big
SEO that reports revenue, not rankings
Terrier is an SEO agency working across the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland. We build organic search programmes for brands that need search to produce revenue, applications or bookings, not a longer keyword list. Every engagement is measured against commercial outcomes you already track, and every plan includes generative engine optimisation as standard.
The discipline is the same in each market; the search results are not. A UK campaign competes against national publishers and comparison sites. An Australian one competes in a shallower index where a strong page moves quickly. An Irish one has to separate genuine local demand from the UK results Google serves into Ireland by default. See the pages for Australia and Ireland.
How we work: the first 90 days
Month 1: audit and the keyword and entity map
We crawl the site, review Search Console and analytics history, and establish what is indexable, what is duplicated and where crawl budget is lost. Alongside that we build the keyword map (the commercial terms worth owning, each matched to the page that should own it) and the entity map of products, locations and topics your brand must be associated with before an assistant will name you.
Months 2 and 3: architecture, on-page and schema
We fix what is holding the site back before adding anything to it: URL and internal-link architecture, so authority reaches the pages that sell; on-page work against the keyword map, in priority order; and schema hygiene where it genuinely applies. Migrations, redirect maps and index bloat are handled here too. By the end of month three the site is able to rank for what you have asked of it.
Months 4 to 6: content hubs, earned links and AI-citation tracking
Content is built in hubs rather than isolated posts, so a cluster of related pages supports one commercial page instead of competing with it. Authority comes from earned links and digital PR, placements on sites with their own audiences, never bought rows on a spreadsheet. Throughout, we re-test your prompt set to track which AI answers now cite you, because the pages assistants quote are largely the pages that already rank.
Proof
- Theatre Tokens: a 64% increase in revenue from organic search.
- 888 Vapour: a 94% increase in organic sales in a saturated ecommerce market.
- Cobalt: a 50% increase in applications, and first place for “civil engineering jobs”.
- Mazars: top three positions for financial advisory terms and 46% organic traffic growth.
- London City Smiles: number one for “dentist in Islington”.
- Koyo Loans: a top three ranking for “loans”, a term with a 95% difficulty score.
The full set is on the case studies page.
What SEO costs
SEO retainers start from £1,250 a month excluding VAT. There is no minimum term: you can give 60 days’ notice, at any point. GEO is included in every plan at no extra cost. We do not treat AI visibility as an upsell, because the technical and authority work that earns citations is the same work that earns rankings.
There is no minimum term, 60 days’ notice, at any point. We ask for the time the work honestly needs rather than a contract that locks you in: technical fixes are re-crawled in weeks, but content and links take a quarter or more to compound, so the first three months are the setup and the value shows after that.
Who does the work
Patrick Macnamara founded Terrier in 2015 and leads the SEO practice. Strategy, the keyword and entity map and the monthly reporting are reviewed by Patrick on every account, so the person who sold you the plan is the one accountable for it. His background is on his profile, and the rest of the team is on the team page. You will know who works on your account by name.

SEO questions we get asked
Our retainers start from £1,250 a month excluding VAT, with no minimum term, 60 days’ notice, at any point. Where an engagement sits above that floor depends on the size of the site, the number of markets, and how competitive the target terms are. We scope from your goals rather than selling fixed packages, and GEO is included at no extra cost.
Expect early movement in two to three months and commercial results from month four to six. Technical fixes are re-crawled within weeks and often produce the first lift. Content and earned links compound more slowly, because Google has to re-evaluate the site. Anyone promising revenue in six weeks is describing a riskier method.
No. There is no minimum term on any Terrier engagement, 60 days’ notice, at any point. We would rather earn the renewal every month than hold you to a term. SEO does compound, so leaving in month two means paying for the audit and walking before the work has had a chance to show.
Technical work, on-page optimisation, content, link earning and GEO, weighted differently each month. Early months lean technical, later months lean towards content hubs and digital PR. Every retainer also covers keyword and entity mapping, schema, internal linking, monthly reporting and a call to walk through it. Nothing in that list is charged separately.
You get a monthly report and a call to talk through it. It leads with the commercial number (revenue, applications or bookings, whichever you track) then ranking movement on the named keywords the campaign was built to shift, the links earned and where they sit, and which AI answers cite you. Impressions and keyword counts are context, never the headline.
Yes, and it is worth involving us before the build is finished rather than after traffic drops. We map every existing URL to its destination, preserve internal links and schema, stage the redirects, and monitor indexing daily through the switchover. Migrations lose traffic when the redirect map is written in the week of launch.
