Gorilla Web Marketing

Based in Nottingham, this small internet marketing agency focuses on helping local small businesses improve their online visibility rather than serving large corporates. Its work centres on connecting businesses with the "right" visitors in their local target areas — the examples given include a Nottingham electrician or an Italian restaurant owner wanting to be found by people searching for their specific trade and location. The team, of fewer than ten people, positions itself as covering both search marketing and web development, arguing that many competitors specialise in one or the other while it combines knowledge across both areas. Services are organised around three areas: search engine optimisation (including local SEO, small business SEO and Google Places SEO), web design (with responsive design for use across devices), and social media marketing. Packages are structured and tiered, with named SEO packages (Google SEO, Kick Start, Upgraded and Upgraded Plus) and social media packages (a Start Up package and a Monthly Social Media Management package), alongside web design packages. The agency states it avoids black-hat SEO tactics, does not tie clients into long contracts, and aims not just to drive traffic but to keep visitors engaged once they arrive, through attractive, functional site design paired with relevant content. A free website appraisal is offered to review an existing site and identify areas for improvement before any commitment is made.
