Southampton SEO and WordPress agency with published dental pricing and dental case studies
About Targeted SEO
Targeted SEO is a small search marketing firm in Southampton, trading as Targeted SEO Ltd under company number 10825638. The business was incorporated in June 2017 and has around eight people. Meetings take place by appointment at Office 20, FigFlex Offices, Frobisher House, Nelson Gate, in the city centre.
The agency was co-founded by Ben Sisson, who is marketing director, and Emma Sisson, who is managing director and runs the content writing team. Ben built his own niche content websites before he set up the agency. The wider team includes an SEO manager, an SEO strategist, a content strategist, two content writers and a web designer and developer. The firm also runs an SEO podcast, and it was a finalist at the UK Search Awards 2024.
For dental practices, the work starts with local search. The team manages the Google Business Profile with photos, posts and review requests, and it builds directory citations with consistent name, address and phone details. Keyword research is done in Ahrefs. Blog content covers topics such as hygiene advice, procedures and how to choose a dentist. They build bespoke WordPress sites and host them on dedicated servers. They also offer standalone audits that check speed, mobile use, content and backlinks. The usual order is site design, on-page and technical fixes and content first, followed by link building through guest post outreach.
Their dental proof centres on Oakley Road Dental, a private practice in Southampton that opened in 2018. Targeted SEO created its logo, signage and WordPress site. The site has treatment pages for check-ups, hygiene, whitening and Invisalign, with FAQs and before-and-after galleries, plus blog posts written under the owners' names. In the first year it had a 2,100% rise in organic traffic, a 286% rise in ranking keywords and 45 page-one positions. It later ranked first for Invisalign Southampton and Denplan dentist Southampton. A second case covers an unnamed cosmetic clinic in Wilmslow, where organic traffic rose 39.9% and click-through rate rose 58% over eight months.
The owner of Oakley Road Dental credits the agency with helping launch the new practice, and the team was quick to help when problems came up. The agency is rated 5.0 on Google from 80 reviews. This setup suits independent private practices, including new start-ups, that want branding, website and SEO from one supplier.
On cost, dental SEO starts at 1,000 pounds per month plus VAT. The typical range is 1,000 to 3,000 pounds per month depending on scope, and local SEO is included in the retainer. Prospects can request a free video audit and a free strategy session. Contract length and notice terms are not published.
