Bristol Umbraco Gold Partner building integrated websites with SEO and paid media
About Mentor Digital
Mentor Digital is a web, software and digital marketing agency with its head office at 4 West End, Somerset Street, Bristol, and a second office at Holborn Circus in London. Its core skill is building websites on the Umbraco CMS and .NET, often connected to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, payment systems and member portals. Alongside development it offers UX and design, branding, video and animation, hosting and support, and digital marketing.
Holland Risley founded the agency in 2007 and is managing director. The agency has 32 staff. The directors include Toby Coulsting (operations), Hannah Snell (client services), Craig Noble (technical) and Rob MacNeill (creative). Dan Watt leads digital marketing and has 17 years in the field, including time at Google UK. The agency holds Umbraco Gold Partner status and Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
The search offer covers technical audits and fixes, content strategy, content written for SEO and migration planning for Umbraco upgrades. Paid media covers PPC and media planning, and analytics work covers tracking, Google Tag Manager, cookie consent and dashboards. Work usually starts with a technical audit or tracking review, then runs as managed campaigns with monthly reporting. Local SEO is among their services, but their digital marketing page does not describe it.
They have no published dental clients or dental pages. Their healthcare work includes a website for Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, which won Best Website at the Association for Healthcare Communications and Marketing awards, and a CIPR Gold award for internal communications for the Meningitis Trust. Medical makes up about 10% of their industry focus. They are best suited to dental groups, membership bodies or suppliers that need a secure custom site with CRM, booking or payment links rather than a template practice site.
Other awards include the Umbraco 2020 Jury's Choice Award for a tenpin bowling site and Best Custom Solution at the Umbraco 2021 Awards for an e-learning platform. Named clients include SPAR, Wales and West Utilities, Gigaclear, Ocean Estate Agents and the National Governance Association.
On Clutch they hold 4.9 from five reviews dated 2022 to 2026. Reviewers include a real estate group, a loss adjusters' institute and a research body. They mention careful scoping, steady communication, delivery on time and within budget, and low downtime under a hosting service agreement. Two reviewers suggested more time for data migration planning and faster handling of small support tickets. Rates run $150 to $199 per hour, with a minimum project of $10,000. No standard contract terms are published.
