Our Testimonials & Reviews

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.

At EZ Shopper we have always had a focus on SEO since we started the company in 2020. Although we had been doing guest posting and various forms of manual outreach, we couldn’t seem to land the quality of links that we really needed. We spoke with a few agencies at the time and decided that Cedarwood was the option for us. They were approachable and honest in our initial calls, which we really appreciated. Working with Cedarwood has been a complete success. They’ve landed us links with some of the best websites in our niches, which has not only given us a ranking boost from the link authority, but an indirect benefit of their services has been the number of monthly referral sales we are receiving from product review placements we have landed. This in itself has meant that Cedarwood has proven to be a great value option for us at EZ Shopper. On top of this, the team at Cedarwood are fantastic to work with, and we always look forward to the monthly update calls to discuss what next month’s initiatives are. We’ve had a great balance of product based outreach and also various PR campaigns. There has been some great “outside of the box” thinking from the team. We would highly recommend Cedarwood to anyone, for all your digital PR needs.

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.

Ecommerce Agency Manchester FAQs

Content Reviewed & Fact Checked By Amanda Walls, Director

Content Updated: 16/10/2022

An ecommerce agency will look at the online elements of your business and devise a strategy to increase traffic and conversions on your website. They will apply a combination of SEO, PPC and digital PR alongside other methods such as retargeting and Facebook ads. A good agency will tailor these techniques to your business.

To drive organic traffic to your website, you need a solid SEO plan. This means combining valuable content with keywords and link building. For a more targeted approach, Google Adwords or PPC means your advert will be shown specifically to shoppers looking for your product. This increases conversions and is a proven method for growing online sales. 

SEO and PPC are both excellent ways to grow your ecommerce store. SEO has a lower initial outlay than paid advertising and, if you are ranking highly in the SERPs, your website will be shown to millions of potential users. PPC, meanwhile, shows your ecommerce store to people specifically looking for what you sell. When used together as part of a bespoke ecommerce package, they work successfully to achieve measurable ROIs.

Whilst Google Shopping Ads are a great way to get noticed, there are never any certainties. Trialling different methods is the best way to find out what works for your individual ecommerce business. Using Google Analytics to regularly analyse the results of your campaigns will ensure you keep doing what works and replace anything that doesn’t.

Mcommerce is the term for mobile shopping. So anytime a consumer users a phone or device to shop online, it’s known as mcommerce. By 2024, mcommerce will make up one fifth of all online sales which means it’s an area that shouldn’t be overlooked when considering your ecommerce strategy.

Ecommerce is a specialism and using an agency that has a proven track record in this field is a great way to ensure that you are working with industry leading experts who can introduce you to the latest products and ways of working. 

In addition to being up to date with all the latest products it’s likely that they have a good familiarity with different ecommerce CMS systems and how SEO works uniquely in areas like product category pages and individual product pages. By working closely with ecommerce specialists you can learn a lot from projects they’ve worked with in the past and allow them to apply best practice, ideas and new approaches across your campaigns for great results.
