Any agency can promise page one. We can show you what we've already delivered — for businesses in the same towns, on the same streets, competing with the same people you are.
Our office is at Corringham Grange Farm, Gainsborough — not a virtual address, not a co-working space in Leeds. We drive the same roads, compete for the same parking, and know every local competitor in the market. That context is worth more than any tool or spreadsheet.
We don't report on impressions, reach, or "brand awareness." We track rankings for the exact search terms your customers type, map pack positions, and inbound enquiries. If it doesn't move the needle for your business, we don't count it.
Every week you get a plain-English update — what moved, what we did, what's next. No dashboards you need training to understand. No monthly reports that arrive after you've already started to worry. Just clear, honest progress, every single week.
We ask for a 3-month minimum because that's the realistic time to see meaningful results from local SEO — not because we want to trap you. After that, you're on a rolling month-by-month basis. We keep clients because of results, not contracts.
Before we start, we audit your market and tell you honestly what's achievable and how long it will take. If the opportunity isn't there, we'll say so. We'd rather turn down a client than overpromise and underdeliver — our reputation in Lincolnshire depends on it.
You work directly with the person doing the work — not a sales team who hands you off, not an account manager who relays messages. When you email us, the person who replies is the person optimising your listings and building your strategy.
Big agencies, cheap freelancers, DIY — we're not the right fit for everyone, but here's where we genuinely differ.
| Riven Agency | Large SEO Agency | Cheap Freelancer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local Lincolnshire knowledge | Deep, first-hand | Generic UK coverage | Varies widely |
| Weekly transparent reporting | Every week, plain English | Monthly PDF reports | Ad hoc updates |
| Direct access to who does the work | Always | Account manager layer | Usually |
| Contract flexibility | 3-month min, then rolling | 12-month contracts typical | Often flexible |
| Proven local case studies | Lincoln — pos. 20+ to top 5 in 7 days | National / generic | Rarely documented |
| Google Business Profile expertise | Core specialism | Often outsourced | Variable |
| Honest pre-engagement audit | Free, no obligation | Sales-led discovery call | Rarely offered |
We analyse your current visibility, your competitors, and the quickest wins available. Then we walk you through what we find — no obligation, no sales pitch.
A clear, prioritised plan specific to your business and location. What we'll do, why, in what order, and what results to expect — and when.
We handle everything — technical fixes, content, citations, link building — while you focus on running the business. Weekly updates keep you in the loop throughout.
Weekly plain-English reports showing ranking changes, what moved, and the plan ahead. We refine the strategy every month based on what the data tells us.
