About this practice
One person, a registered company you can look up, and a deliberate absence of the things most agency sites use to look bigger than they are.
Who you would actually be contracting with
SEO Middlesbrough is a trading name of ND Media LTD, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 10784524.
The registered office is 17 Gainsborough Road, Reading, RG30 3DB. That is the real registered address and it appears here, on the privacy page, and in this site's structured data.
This site has no Middlesbrough office and does not claim one. Work for Teesside clients is delivered remotely.
Everything in this section is checkable at Companies House against company number 10784524 before you send anyone any money. That is a reasonable check to make on any supplier.
One operator, and what that means for you
The person who answers the phone, scopes the work, does the work and writes the report is the same person. No account manager sits between you and the delivery.
The genuine advantage is that nothing is lost in translation and the overhead inside your invoice is minimal. The genuine limitation is capacity. One person can only hold a small number of engagements properly.
When I am full, I will say so rather than take the work and stretch. Plan around a start date with that in mind.
The honesty rules applied to this website
- Every number carries a tag. SOURCED means external data with attribution and a date. FIXED means one of my own prices or commitments. DEMONSTRATED means a real, dated, verbatim transcript. MECHANISM means a property of how the channel works, explained in the copy beside it.
- No invented statistics. If a figure is not pulled and dated, it does not appear, which is why the market report has no volume table.
- No testimonials, client names, logos or star ratings. There is no review schema on this site either.
- No guarantees of ranking or results. Nobody can honestly give one.
- Proof charts are my own portfolio, labelled by sector. Never described as client work, always carrying their partial month flags and their pull date.
These are constraints on what I am allowed to publish, not marketing positioning. They cost me some persuasive tools that competitors use freely.
Why Teesside, specifically
Industrial and technical search is a different discipline from consumer local search. Most SEO advice available online is written for the latter.
Teesside concentrates process and chemical operations, engineering and fabrication, and a growing offshore wind supply chain in one place. The buyers in those sectors search in specifications and standards rather than in adjectives.
Working in one region with a consistent set of sectors means the query research compounds rather than starting fresh every time.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no team page, and no photographs of anyone?
This is a one person practice. A page of stock photographs implying otherwise would be the first dishonest thing on this site. What you get in return is that the person who quotes the work is the person who does it.
Why are there no client names, logos or testimonials anywhere?
Two reasons; neither is that there is no work. First, I do not publish a client relationship without permission, and industrial clients frequently prefer their suppliers stay private. Second, testimonials are the easiest thing on a website to fabricate and prove very little to a careful reader.
You are registered in Reading. Why does this site say Middlesbrough?
Middlesbrough and Teesside is the market this site serves and the sector knowledge is specific to it. The company is registered where it happens to be registered. Renting a mailbox on a Teesside industrial estate to look local is common practice and a small lie I would rather not open a business relationship with.
What if I want to meet in person?
That can be arranged for work of a size that justifies the journey; it is a fair thing to ask for. A video call is more useful for most engagements and considerably faster to schedule. Remote is therefore the default rather than a limitation being hidden.
How do I verify the company actually exists?
Look up company number 10784524 at Companies House. The check is free and takes about a minute. That is the check I would recommend making on any supplier before sending money, including this one.
Where to start
If the approach on this page sounds like the way you would rather work with a supplier, the Sprint is the low risk way to test it.
