List and Found

Based at the Bonded Warehouse in central Manchester, List & Found is a digital marketing agency founded by Chris Bardsley in 2018 that has grown by adding one new team member each year, keeping the group in the 1-10 size bracket. The agency works primarily with SMEs and mid-market businesses that have a measurable goal in mind, whether that's leads, revenue or efficiency, and describes itself as working best with clients who want a partner that integrates with their team rather than operating at a distance. It states that over 100 SEO projects have been completed across sectors including retail and ecommerce, pharma and commercial interiors, with a conservative estimate of more than £10m in search-driven revenue generated for clients. Services centre on search, spanning content SEO, technical SEO and a specific offering for SEO for AI surfaces (referred to as AEO, GEO and LLMO), alongside search strategy and digital leadership consultancy. Paid media covers Google and Meta ad strategy and management, supported by organic social media and email marketing. Reporting and analytics are positioned as a core part of the offer, with an emphasis on tracking leads, revenue and cost to acquire rather than vanity metrics. Clients work directly with the senior team members handling strategy and execution, rather than being passed to junior staff. The agency also notes it offsets its carbon footprint through Ecologi and keeps its technology stack lean as part of its working approach.
