Proven Track Record

Our track record speaks for itself. High client retention, long-term partnerships & client testimonials. We’re proud of the work we do & strong client retention is a cornerstone of our business – we work with clients where we know we can make a difference & aren’t afraid to speak up if we don’t think something will work.

Specialists In Our Field

Looking for a full-service agency? That’s not us. We pride ourselves on being specialists in our areas of expertise – SEO, Digital PR & Paid Media. By specialising in only these areas we can ensure we are at the forefront of innovation, technology & Google’s latest algorithm – ensuring the best results for our clients.

Data Driven

While creativity & innovation are key to our success, data is at the heart of everything we do. Working to align our goals with our clients business goals, we work closely with your data to ensure that the leads we drive impact your overall business achievements, rather than just looking good on a Conversions spreadsheet.

Our Story

Find out about Cedarwood's back story & where it all began...

Cedarwood Digital was founded back in 2016 with the aim of moving away from the traditional full-service agency model to deliver a specialist skill set across Owned & Earned Media.

Over the last six years we’ve grown from a start-up in a small shipping container at The Sharp Project to a business that works with multi-million pound household names & is quickly developing a reputation as one of Manchester’s leading digital agencies, frequently recognised for our work – most recently named Small Digital Agency Of The Year at the UK Ecommerce Awards & taking home two European Search Awards for Best Small Integrated Agency & Best PPC Campaign.

By simplifying the client-agency relationship we’ve been able to work as an extension of our clients marketing function – something that’s become increasingly important in recent years – working closely with their teams to holistically deliver results & working closely with their data/product to maximise exposure & drive growth.

Today we have a loyal long-term client base & our retention rate speaks volumes about how we continue to deliver for our clients. We won’t take work on if we don’t think we can make a difference & this is key to our ethos, driving successful long-term partnerships.

Testimonials

I first spoke with Amanda following a Google search for and SEO company in Manchester. At the time I was considering a change in partner and spoke with two others. I can honestly say from the very first call I was convinced that Cedarwood Digital would be the partner of choice. They would have had to really mess up the pitch. I was privileged to work with Amanda and her team for about 6 months before changing jobs. During this time, it was an absolute pleasure. The business model is great, no account managers, just experts in their field talking to the clients as and when needed and with the right knowledge. Very open and transparent. I would highly recommend Amanda and Cedarwood Digital to any business looking to partner with an SEO agency.

"Cedarwood Digital are just like an extension to our internal marketing team family. We've been working with them now for nearly 2 years and some of the clever stuff they've come up with on our digital marketing campaigns has just been amazing. Amanda and her teams knowledge and ability to "pick up" a new industry is just fantastic and the results they've given us so far have really taken us forward and continue to do so on a month by month basis. They really do have all skill bases covered when it comes to digital marketing."
Paul Hanley
Paul HanleyEcommerce Manager at Certas Energy
I reached out to Cedarwood to help us try and use digital PR to secure organic links and mentions and step firmly away from the old black hat link acquisition methods that are de rigueur in our niche. Right from the off they were friendly and professional and throughout the pitch process demonstrated a good level creativity backed up by a thorough knowledge of SEO & SEM. They also had a high degree of confidence in themselves and their skills, all of which made the decision to contract with them an easy one. Initially, internally, there was some scepticism that Cedarwood (or any agency) was going to be able to deliver the sort of high value / high profile links that they were targeting. But they succeeded, and they continue to succeed to this day, gaining us frequent coverage and links on some of the highest authority websites in the country that will stand the test of time. I think it’s fair to say that they surpassed our expectations, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any other prospective clients.

These folks know what they’re doing, and they do it in a no-BS, transparent way so you always know where you’re at. Love ‘em and would highly recommend ‘em!"
