About us
Cork people, helping Cork businesses get found.
A small, Cork-based SEO team that does the unglamorous work properly, explains it in plain English and earns your business every month.
Our story
We got tired of watching good Cork businesses lose to worse ones.
SEO Cork started with a simple frustration. Again and again we saw brilliant local businesses, the plumber everyone recommends, the clinic with a waiting list of happy patients, losing customers online to competitors who were simply better at Google.
Meanwhile the SEO industry was selling them jargon, long contracts and reports nobody could read. We thought Cork businesses deserved better: straight answers, honest work and results you can measure in phone calls rather than graphs.
So that is what we do. We are a small, Cork-based team that does the unglamorous work properly, explains it in plain English, and earns your business every month.
What we believe
Four rules we don’t break.
- 01
Plain English, always
If we cannot explain what we are doing and why in a sentence, we should not be doing it.
- 02
Month to month
No twelve-month lock-ins. We would rather keep you because the work is good than because the paperwork says so.
- 03
No shortcuts
No bought links, fake reviews or tricks that work until they don’t. Everything we do is something we would show Google.
- 04
Calls over charts
We measure success in enquiries, bookings and sales, not in rankings for phrases nobody searches.
The difference
Us versus the usual.

|---|---|---|
| Contract | 12 months minimum | Month to month |
| Reporting | 40-page PDF of graphs | One page: what we did, what moved, what is next |
| Who you talk to | An account manager reading a script | The person doing the work |
| Local knowledge | Cork is a dropdown option | Cork is home |
| Links | Whatever is cheapest | Earned from real Cork websites |
| Success measured by | Rankings and traffic | Calls, bookings and revenue |

Where we are
Under the gaze of the goldy fish.
The golden salmon weathervane on top of Shandon’s bell tower has looked over Cork since the 1700s. It is our logo because we like the idea of something that has been watching the city that long, and because it always knows which way the wind is blowing.
We work with businesses across the county, from Cork city to Kinsale, Mallow and Bantry, and we are always happy to meet for a coffee. See every area we cover.
Let’s get you to #1.
