Employee-owned Sussex SEO agency with a dedicated search service for dental practices
About Artemis Marketing
Artemis Marketing is a search marketing agency run from Danworth Farm on Cuckfield Road in Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex, a short drive north of Brighton. Its core discipline is SEO, with a strong lean towards local search, and over time it has added web design and development, PPC, email, social media, video, photography, conversion rate optimisation and a set of AI search services, including answer engine and ChatGPT optimisation.
The business was started in 2004 by Mike Knivett as a one-person operation, and he remains founder and managing director. In December 2025 the company moved into an Employee Ownership Trust, so it is now majority owned on behalf of its staff. Artemis had declined several offers to sell. Sara Lenartowicz is SEO Director and Selena Burfield is SEO Manager, and the agency was listed among The Sunday Times Best Places to Work in 2025. The team has under 50 people.
For dentists, Artemis has a separate SEO service. The work starts with keyword research around treatments such as implants, cosmetic dentistry and NHS care, then moves into on-page changes, technical fixes like titles and meta descriptions, and patient-focused content written to prompt bookings. Local visibility is handled through Google Business Profile optimisation for near-me searches, and the agency also runs Google review management. Link building aims at health and wellbeing websites. SEO carries no guarantees, and firmer growth usually shows after about six months.
The service suits independent practices in Sussex, Surrey and the wider south east, where the agency also runs town-level SEO pages, though it works with clients further afield. Practices that want SEO bundled with a new website, PPC or video can buy those from the same team.
The main dental proof is a testimonial from Jacqui Setters of a dental healthcare practice. She had tried three other marketing firms before Artemis, and new-patient enquiries doubled within six months. Other clients, which are not dental businesses, saw year-on-year enquiry growth of around 75 percent and traffic up more than 47 percent.
Review themes centre on named account managers, regular catch-up meetings and plain explanations of cost and return. One client gets a monthly timesheet listing completed work with suggested next steps. Prices are not published, a free consultation and SEO audit are offered, and budgets range from 1,000 to 10,000 US dollars.
