Accountable, results-first search marketing with integrity.
We Are Novus
Our Values
We started Novus in 2019 to build the kind of agency we'd want to work with. A partner who goes beyond the brief, builds trust, respects your time and gets the job done right.
It started with a simple question – what are most agencies missing?
We saw great businesses being burned by bad marketing. Amateurs hiding behind pay-to-win awards. More style than substance. Complexity over clarity. So we built Novus to do search marketing right.

We’ve tried to package up our deliverables, but honestly we’re not really an ‘off the shelf’ kind of company. Each campaign is so different that we prefer to put together a bespoke package that fits exactly what you need.
It depends on your industry, competition and where you’re starting from. Some clients see movement within a few weeks, while others take several months to gather momentum. SEO is an investment, not a quick fix, but the results tend to last much longer.
Fewer than you’d probably expect. We’d rather have manageable workloads and do a great job than overload our team and spread ourselves too thin. Quality always comes first.
Absolutely. No account managers acting as middlemen or playing broken telephone. You’ll have direct access to the people working on your campaign, so conversations stay productive and decisions happen quickly.
Nobody can guarantee success, but we only take on campaigns where we genuinely believe we can make a positive impact. Before we start, we’ll assess your website, competition and goals, then be honest about what’s realistic. If we don’t think we can add value, we’ll tell you.
We adapt. SEO changes constantly, and not every idea works exactly as expected. We’ll review the data, understand what’s happening and adjust the strategy. Standing still is never an option.
That it’s all about rankings.
Rankings are great, but they don’t pay the bills. We’d much rather help you generate enquiries, sales and revenue than celebrate being number one for a keyword that nobody converts from.
Probably not. SEO is incredibly effective, but it’s only one part of the marketing mix. If your business would benefit more from paid advertising, email marketing, PR or something else, we’ll tell you. Our goal is to grow your business, not simply sell SEO.
Not at all. While most of our clients are based in the UK, we’ve worked with businesses across Europe, North America and beyond. As long as your audience is searching online, we can help.
Many of our clients have been with us for years. SEO is a long-term strategy, and once businesses start seeing consistent growth, they tend to stick around. We’d rather build lasting partnerships than chase quick wins.
Yes. Sometimes SEO isn’t the best investment, especially if your market has little search demand or your business needs leads immediately. If we think another channel will deliver a better return, we’ll be upfront about it.
No. Anyone who guarantees rankings is making promises they can’t control. Google doesn’t hand out guarantees, and neither do we. What we can promise is a strategy built on experience, best practice and doing the right things consistently over time.
Not every campaign has delivered exactly what we’d hoped. Sometimes competition changes, businesses change direction, or expectations simply aren’t realistic. The important thing is being honest, learning from it and never pretending everything’s perfect when it isn’t.
Yes. If we don’t believe SEO is the right fit, or we don’t think we’re the best agency for the job, we’ll say so. We’d much rather lose a sale than take on a campaign we can’t genuinely improve.
We don’t hide behind reports. We’ll explain what’s happening, review the data together and adjust the strategy. SEO is about continuous improvement, and sometimes the best ideas come from challenging what’s already been tried.
White Label SEO is search engine optimisation services conducted by an agency (us) under another brand (you). It allows companies like yours to sell a service they you may not have the time, expertise or resources to do in house.
We love referrals – for any client you send our way, you’ll receive an ongoing referral payment as long as they remain a client. Get in touch to find out more.
