Kira Rop

I had the pleasure of working with Ben on a project. I handled website design and development, and he took care of SEO. Honestly, I and the whole team were just so impressed with him.

From the moment we started working together, we launched a social media campaign while Ben got to work optimizing the website and our Google Business profile. Within just a few weeks we were already seeing real results, more site visitors, more leads. Ben suggested some smart changes to the site structure and copy to help Google recognize the business better and rank it higher.

What really stood out to me was how great his communication was, which makes such a difference in remote work. Ben kept the team in the loop with regular updates and was always patient explaining his thinking behind each decision.

Working with Ben was a pleasure, and I really hope we get to team up on another project soon.

The Enchanted Lodges

Ben and the team at East Kent SEO were amazing in helping us launch our new Holiday Lodges business. We had no plan in place once the properties were built, but after speaking with Ben and creating a marketing plan, we had a website, Google Business Profile and fully integrated booking system that was connect to all the major platforms. We have been very busy since then and continue to work with East Kent SEO to improve our local SEO and get more customers. They are very easy to work with and I would recommend them if you want easy communication and excellent results!
