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.

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!"

The team are always thinking of ways to build out campaigns & can be relied upon to continuously improve through their collective thinking & creativity"
