Our extensive experience across the legal paid media landscape and effective use of PPC puts us in a strong position to help build and grow the brand along with the challenging targets that have been set.


Paid Media Manager Anna Simpson said “We’re delighted to have Cycle SOS on board, our unparalleled experience in the legal sector means that we have the structure and knowledge to really take this business to the next level and we are look forward to working with the team to achieve their goals.”

Why We Love Being A Manchester SEO Agency

by Cedarwood Digital NewsSEO

Our Director, Amanda Walls, set up Cedarwood Digital after working in digital marketing for several years. Having created training courses for Google and training thousands of individuals through Facebook’s Digital Skills Program, she knows more about SEO than most people know about themselves. After travelling all over the world, Amanda tied her flag to Manchester’s mast and decided to start her own digital marketing company.

A Different SEO Agency

It’s the norm nowadays to have account managers who are assigned to individual clients. Common belief is that they tie things up neatly and ensure one point of contact. But what if the norm isn’t necessarily the best way? 

At Cedarwood, we take a unique, hands-on approach. Every team member works with every client and gets to know them as a person, not an account number – becoming an extension of your in-house team. So, if your DPR needs a push, you speak to our PR expert, and if you’re interested in Google Ads, our PPC whizz is at the end of the phone (or video chat). No matter where you’re located, we’re here to help. Our clients are based all over the UK and we build personal, lasting relationships with every client. It’s what sets Cedarwood apart.

More than this, every two months we run Manchester DM, an in person event, where we invite speakers to talk to us about everything new in the world of digital marketing! This helps to give back to the people of Manchester and enable connections within the Manchester Marketing scene. 

Where We Work

Our office is located in Linely House, well and truly in the heart of the city – just seconds from the Palace Theatre, and minutes from St Peter’s Square. We share a building with other SMEs which brings a strong sense of community and people bringing in their dogs is also an unexpected perk. Amanda chose Clockwise in Manchester because it’s the right mix of work and play, and gives us the space we need to be creative and focus on growing.

Manchester also plays host to several digital marketing award ceremonies. We’re proud to have been finalists in many of them, including The Northern Digital Awards. Obviously there’s friendly rivalry and we find a bit of competition is a great motivator, but it’s also great to be able to celebrate the achievements of the numerous digital marketing agencies in Manchester.  There are over 200 in fact, and the city’s thriving business scene makes it a real hub for marketers. There’s always a networking event to attend or industry talk to learn from. It’s a bustling city known for its vibrant culture and we can’t forget the impressive number of choices for after-work drinks. 

Our team comes from the North, the South and even Australia but we all agree that Manchester’s booming SEO sector offers the perfect place for us.

A kitchenette in the Clockwise office

The growth of e-commerce and the turn towards a much more digital world makes working in SEO and digital marketing challenging but exciting. We never want to rest on our laurels and being in the cut and thrust of a thriving city, in an industry that continues to grow, is more than worth the early morning tram ride and occasional rainy day.
