SEO Agency UK: Rankings in Google and AI Search
Rank Ray is the SEO agency UK businesses hire to win more customers from Google and from AI answers in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. Technical, local and ecommerce SEO, GEO and link building, run by one founder-led team on clear monthly plans.
What does a UK SEO agency do?
A UK SEO agency makes your website easier for Google and AI tools to find, trust and quote. At Rank Ray that means fixing technical problems, writing pages around what your customers search for, building your Google Business Profile, earning links from real sites and reporting every month on rankings, clicks and leads.
Why UK businesses work with Rank Ray
Three things written into every plan from the first month.
Founder-led since 2019
Own-ur-Rehman Sheikh has worked in SEO since 2018 and started Rank Ray in 2019. He plans every account, so you always know who is responsible for your results. Meet the founder.
Google and AI search in one plan
Google rankings still bring in search leads every day, but more buyers now ask ChatGPT or Gemini before they visit a site. Our plans cover both, so your pages are built to rank and to be quoted in AI answers.
Clear prices, short terms
Every plan has a fixed monthly price on our SEO packages page. Three month minimum, then month to month, and a monthly report that lists every task and every link.

UK cities we cover
Each city page covers local search terms, nearby areas and how we work with businesses there.
Not in one of these cities? We work with businesses across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on the same plans. Ask for a quote and tell us where your customers are.
Industries we help in the UK
Each sector has its own search terms, rules and competitors. These pages explain how we approach them.
Ecommerce and online shops
Shops competing with marketplaces need strong category pages and clean product data. See ecommerce SEO and Shopify SEO.
Solicitors and law firms
Clients choose a firm from local results and trust signals. Pages must stay accurate and clear, in line with the Solicitors Regulation Authority's rules on publicity. See law firm SEO.
Healthcare and dental
Clinics and practices need strong local listings and pages that answer patient questions in plain words, written or checked by qualified people. See healthcare SEO and dental SEO.
Trades and home services
Plumbers, electricians, roofers and builders often win work from the map pack and near me searches, so reviews and service area pages matter most. See home services SEO.
SaaS and B2B
Financial services
Google holds finance pages to a higher standard, and FCA-regulated firms must keep promotions clear, fair and not misleading. See financial services SEO.
How long does SEO take to work?
Google's own guide says most businesses need four months to a year to put SEO changes in place and then see the benefit (Google Search Central, "Do you need an SEO?"). Technical fixes and Google Business Profile work usually show first, because Google acts on them as soon as it recrawls your pages. New content and links build over six to twelve months.
What is the difference between SEO and GEO (AI search optimisation)?
SEO gets your pages ranked in Google's results. GEO, or generative engine optimisation, gets your brand named and cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Most of the work is shared: clear pages, structured data and mentions on trusted sites. GEO adds answer-first writing and tracking of what AI tools say about you. See our GEO service.
How do I choose an SEO agency in the UK?
1. Ask for results from real clients, with dates and Search Console figures.
2. Get the price and the minimum term in writing before you sign.
3. Ask who will do the work and whether you can speak to them.
4. Ask how links are built, and walk away from offers of hundreds of links for a small fee.
5. Keep ownership of your website, content and Google accounts.
Do you work with businesses outside London?
Yes. We work with businesses anywhere in the UK, from Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds to smaller towns. Rank Ray works remotely, by video call, email and shared reports, so your location does not change the service or the price. Our delivery team works from Rawalpindi, four hours ahead of UK summer time and five hours ahead in winter.
SEO agency UK: common questions
Do I need to sign a long contract?
No. Plans have a three month minimum, because SEO needs time to show results, and then run month to month.
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and no honest agency can. Google's own guide says no one can guarantee a number one ranking. We commit to the work, the timeline and clear reporting.
How do you report results?
You get a monthly report with the work we completed, rankings and clicks from Google Search Console, and every link we built with its live URL.
Can you work on my existing website?
Yes. We work on WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Wix, Webflow and custom sites. We need editor access, or we send the changes to your developer.
Can I start with an audit?
Yes. Send your website through the form and we look at it before we reply. You can also run our free SEO audit tool first.
Do you help UK businesses that also sell abroad?
Yes. We plan separate country or language versions and the links between them. See international SEO.
