Frequently asked questions
How does SEOCompare choose alternatives to each agency?
Each agency's five alternatives are ranked by a four-factor score: sector overlap (weighted highest), pricing fit within 50% of the target retainer, matching pricing band, and shared AI platform coverage across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI Overviews. Placement is not influenced by any commercial relationship.
What is the cheapest UK SEO agency in this directory?
CarrieAnn Sudlow has the lowest starting retainer at £1,500 per month with a 3-month minimum contract. The next cheapest is Targeted SEO at £1,500 per month. Use the table above to compare all 12 on price.
Why would I switch agencies rather than stay?
UK businesses most often look for an alternative when budget, contract length, sector specialism, or AI platform coverage no longer match. Each alternatives page lists every agency's stated best-for fit and a known weakness so you can swap for a closer match rather than a like-for-like move.
