How we work

Four things that decide whether an agency is worth the retainer

Senior people on every account

The person who audited your site is the person doing the work. We stay small enough for that to stay true as we grow.

Audit before opinion

We do not guess at what is wrong. Every engagement opens with a full technical and content audit, and the plan comes from what it finds.

Honest about what is winnable

Some terms are not worth chasing this year. We will tell you which, and where the same budget goes further.

Built for how people search now

Google still matters. So do ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, TikTok and YouTube. We plan for all of them at once.

Our SEO podcast

Born to be found

Danny Daley talks to the people who do search for a living about what actually moved rankings, customers and revenue. No theory, just what worked and what didn’t.

Danny Daley, host of Born to be found

Small team, senior work. The people who win the work do the work, which is why clients stay for years.

Circulate worked with us, a homecare agency, for over 2 years. In that time they helped optimise our web content for SEO as well as undertaking technical SEO tasks.

About Circulate

How did Circulate get started?

We started in Sheffield because we kept meeting businesses being sold generic packages by agencies that had never properly looked at their site. Circulate was built to do the opposite. Audit first, be honest about what is achievable, then do the work. That has not changed as we have grown.

Who do you work with?

Brands selling something considered, where search is part of how people decide. That spans SaaS, B2B, ecommerce, fintech, healthcare, cyber security, travel and automotive, from companies turning over a few million to names you will know. We keep the client list deliberately small so senior people stay on every account.

How are you different from other agencies?

Three things. You work with the people doing the work rather than an account manager relaying messages. We tell you when a budget will not win a category instead of taking it anyway. And we treat AI search as part of the job rather than an upsell, because a growing share of your buyers now ask an assistant before they open Google.

What do you actually do?

Technical SEO, data insights, Google search, AI search, social search, authority building through digital PR, and conversion. All of it planned together, because those parts only compound when they point the same way. We do not offer paid media.

How do we get started?

Book a free strategy session. We come back with an audit of what is holding your site back and a view on what is realistically winnable, before you commit to anything. If it is a fit we scope a fixed monthly retainer.

Start with a free strategy session

We’ll look at what you rank for, where competitors are winning instead, and what is worth fixing first. No charge, and the findings are yours either way.
