About eco seo
SEO & web design since 2006 — run as an environmentally friendly agency from the very start, not as a marketing label bolted on afterwards.
eco seo started in 2006 as an environmentally friendly search engine optimisation company. Steve, our founder, had already been working in SEO for several years by then — right back when most businesses were launching their first website and had little idea what SEO was, let alone how vital it would become.
How we got here
Things have moved on a lot since then. A website is now a fundamental part of most businesses’ marketing, SEO has become commonplace, and social media has worked its way into everyone’s personal and business life. Google has dominated search since the days of Ask, Bing and Yahoo, and the internet has become lightning fast — for most of us, at least.
Nobody outside the industry could realistically be expected to keep up with changes at that pace. Because our business has evolved in step with internet technology the whole way through, though, staying on top of the latest changes is second nature — which is why we’ve grown into an experienced digital marketing agency rather than staying a one-trick SEO shop.
Most people who’ve dealt with a larger agency can recite their account manager’s opening line from memory: “let me just check with the team and get back to you.”
We’ve also stayed deliberately small. Rather than growing into a large agency with account managers and a sales team, we’ve kept things lean — which means when you get in touch, you’re talking directly to the person who actually does the work, not someone who’ll relay your questions on to a developer or consultant elsewhere.
Back in 2006 we worked across a wide range of content management systems and hand-coded sites, but keeping up with all of them properly wasn’t realistic. We’re now firmly in the WordPress camp and design and optimise WordPress websites exclusively — a decision that’s worked out well for us and, more importantly, for our clients’ results.
Environmentally friendly, properly
We provide the same level of professional service you’d expect from any technology business, but without the environmental cost. We generate almost 100% of our own power through solar, which runs our low-wattage LED lighting and computer equipment. The office is virtually paperless — every SEO report and invoice goes out electronically — and we use local suppliers with a green policy wherever we can. All of this has dramatically cut our office waste and our carbon footprint.
Working locally, both with suppliers and clients, also keeps mileage to a minimum. It means you’re not paying for a sales team to drive up and down the country visiting prospective clients — and we’re never far away for the times when a face-to-face meeting is genuinely useful.
Industries we’ve worked with
Our expertise is in helping small to medium sized companies carve out their niche online. We’ve built and optimised websites for an incredibly diverse range of clients — from software companies to pop bands, and construction companies to flower shops.

Where we work
We’re based in Wiltshire, and while we do work with companies further afield, the vast majority of our clients are local — predominantly Swindon, Marlborough, Melksham, Chippenham, Trowbridge & Calne.
How we work
Our core offering is WordPress SEO and web design, but we approach it with an open mind. Some clients need a brand new website, others need an existing one optimised, and some just need someone in-house pointed at the latest best practice and the common pitfalls to avoid. Whatever your situation, we’ll work with you to get to your goals.
Our aim
Is to provide our clients with highly optimised websites that offer an excellent return on investment — without damaging the environment along the way.

Common questions about eco seo
Is the “eco” part just a name, or do you actually operate that way?
It’s genuinely how we operate, not just branding. We generate almost 100% of our own power through solar, run a virtually paperless office, and use local suppliers with a green policy wherever possible.
Do you only work with local Wiltshire businesses?
Most of our clients are local — Swindon, Marlborough, Melksham, Chippenham, Trowbridge and Calne — but we do work with companies further afield too. Being close by just means a face-to-face meeting is easy when it’s useful.
Do you build new websites or just optimise existing ones?
Both. Some clients need a brand new site, others need their existing one optimised, and some just want in-house guidance on best practice. We adapt to what you actually need.
Why do you only work with WordPress?
We used to work across several content management systems, but found that spreading ourselves across all of them meant none got our full attention. Focusing exclusively on WordPress lets us go deeper and get better results for clients.
Will I be dealing with an account manager, or the person doing the actual work?
The person doing the actual work. We’ve deliberately stayed small rather than adding layers of account management, so you get direct answers rather than messages relayed back and forth.
How long has eco seo been running?
Since 2006 — our founder was already working in SEO before that, back when most businesses were launching their very first website.
