From the Founder

Search thinking is in everything we do

When I started Matter Solutions in 2000, I was building websites in London and quickly realised that a beautiful site means nothing if nobody can find it. That insight has shaped everything we do since.

We don't think of SEO as a service you bolt on at the end. Search thinking is embedded in how we plan information architecture, write copy, design user journeys, and build WordPress sites. When we run Google Ads or Meta campaigns, the keyword research and intent mapping comes from the same discipline.

We've deliberately stayed small. Three specialists, not thirty generalists. That means the strategist who plans your campaign is the same person optimising it week after week. You get consistency, depth, and someone who genuinely knows your business — not a rotating cast of account managers.

If you value clear communication, transparent reporting, and people who'll tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear — we should talk.

Our Values

Three pillars that guide everything we do

01

Clarity

Radical transparency in everything. Shared project boards, clear reporting, and honest conversations. No smoke and mirrors — you always know exactly where things stand.

02

Results

Customisable KPIs that matter to your business. We don't hide behind vanity metrics. Every campaign is measured against outcomes that drive real business growth.

03

Educate

Training is integrated with live campaigns. We don't just do the work — we make sure you understand the strategy so you can make informed decisions.

The Team

Small team. Big impact.

Three specialists supported by automation, strategic contractors, and offshore data processing. We've been 15+ people — we chose to be lean.
