About the agency · since 2019
Shan Digital Marketing started in 2019 with one frustration: watching brilliant local businesses lose work to worse competitors with better visibility.
Six years on, we're the growth department behind 40+ SMEs and industrial firms across the UK. We design the brand, build the website, engineer the search presence and ship the software that ties it all together.
The story so far
One laptop and one client: a Bedminster plumber who tripled his calls in five months. Word spread.
Brand and UI/UX design joined SEO. We stopped patching marketing problems and started building whole systems.
Client portals, quoting engines, booking systems. Software became the moat our clients keep winning with.
From trades to dental to industrial supply, our systems quietly power local market leaders across the UK.
We win postcode by postcode, not vanity keyword by vanity keyword.
Strategy, design, build and rank: one team, one number to call.
Your site, your data, your rankings. No hostage-taking, ever.
Word of mouth
“Within four months we were the first call in our area. The phone genuinely doesn't stop. We've hired two engineers just to keep up.”
“The Google Ads paid for themselves inside a fortnight. Best part is the calls are people who actually want a roof, not tyre-kickers or salesmen.”
“They didn't sell us a website. They built us a system: brand, site, reviews, rankings. Best money this practice has ever spent.”
“The quoting portal they built runs our entire sales process now. Clients assume we're a far bigger company than we are.”

“Clear reporting, no jargon, and we rank top three for every search that matters in Bristol. Refreshingly straight people.”
“I was burnt by two agencies before. Shan showed me exactly what they'd do, did it, and the enquiries followed. Simple as that.”
“From a tired 2014 website to fully booked six weeks after launch. The new booking flow alone was worth it.”

What we build
Five disciplines, engineered to work as one, so every pound you spend feeds the same growth engine.
Own the map pack and the searches that matter in your area. We engineer visibility where your customers actually look.
Search, Local Services and remarketing campaigns that put you above the map pack today, while your SEO compounds underneath.
Identity and interfaces that make your business look like the obvious choice, and convert like it too.
Custom software and client portals that systemise your operations, built to scale with your business.
Fast, search-ready websites engineered to turn visitors into enquiries, not just look good in a portfolio.
Service deep-dive
46% of all Google searches have local intent, and the top three map results take almost all of the clicks. We build the citation network, review velocity, on-page signals and locally relevant content that puts you there and keeps you there.

The process
We map your market, your competitors and every search your customers make. You get a brutally honest audit of where you stand, and exactly what it costs you.
Brand, website, profiles, content. We design the entire system around one job: turning local intent into enquiries for your business.
We push the system live and start compounding: citations, reviews, content and technical signals that move you up the map pack week after week.
Once the engine runs, we scale it: new locations, new services, custom software. You watch it all from one dashboard.
The value we bring
Ads stop the moment you stop paying. We build assets, rankings, brand, website and software, that keep compounding while your competitors keep renting attention.
SEO that builds on itself month after month: an asset you own, not rent like ads.
Strategy, design, build, rank. One team, one invoice, one person to call when you want answers.
Every pixel has a job. Pretty is the baseline; booked work is the brief.
Your site is built like a product: fast, tested, maintainable, ready for the dashboard era.
Calls, enquiries, rankings, revenue influence. Real numbers monthly, in plain English.
We win postcode by postcode. Your patch becomes your fortress.

Most agencies sell you one piece: a website, or some SEO, or a logo. We build the whole engine: brand, website, local search presence, review generation and, where it fits, custom software. Every part is designed to feed the others, which is why it compounds instead of stalling.
You'll see movement in the first 30 days and meaningful lifts within 90. Local SEO compounds, and the businesses that win are the ones whose system has been running longest. That's why we start with a free audit, so you know exactly where you stand before spending a penny.
Projects start from £1,500 for focused engagements; complete growth systems are typically £1,000 to £3,000 per month depending on market competitiveness. Every engagement starts with the free audit, so you'll see the gap and the plan before any commitment.
Bristol is home, and we know the South West market deeply, but our systems work for SMEs and industrial businesses across the UK. Local SEO is about your area, not ours.
A genuine, human-built review of your local rankings, Google Business Profile, website performance and competitor gap, with a prioritised list of what to fix first. No obligation, and it's yours to keep even if we never work together.
Yes. That's our SaaS development arm: client portals, quoting engines, booking systems, internal dashboards. If a repetitive process is eating your team's time, we can probably turn it into software.
No. We work on rolling monthly agreements; we'd rather re-earn your business every month than trap you in a 12-month lock-in. You also own every asset we create: domain, site, content, accounts, code.
Senior specialists, in-house. Your project isn't handed to an offshore queue or a junior learning on your budget. The people who scope your system are the people who build it.
