Testimonials

Earlier this year I decided to make a career change and started to play the internet marketing game. I followed a long line of entrepreneurs before me and got involved with multi-level marketing. I started a few blogs, paid the likes of google and yahoo for advertising and basically advertised my business anywhere that I could think of. The process was excruciatingly slow and not particularly fruitful. I have known Pete for many years and so I thought that I would avail myself of his services. As always, he was brutally honest and yet extremely constructive. He took an active part in many aspects of my web space and despite his busy workload has always answered my queries promptly. I am now in the process of launching the business and before I have opened the doors, Pete has got me on the top of the second page of google. If that is not the best start a business can have, then I don’t know what is!

This is an honest opinion of Business Services UK and Peter Arkwright who I have worked with for about six months now. He is someone that you want on your side, tenacity and discipline is the order of the day! Internet marketing is something that isn't easily quantified, which is why there are so many sharks out there 'practicing it! I have been through quite a few ridiculously awful SEO companies... ones that charged me £500 for a site review and then never did anything else positive to 'fixing' the on site problems. Another big digital agency charged me £600 per month and after four or five months I discovered that they were only allocating a junior to work on my site for half a day a month. Half a day a month is not enough unless they are producing work reports that need to be finished/ completed by the client. Also, they wanted to make me feel grateful for letting them look at my small time website, because they really only wanted to work with main brands that have massive budgets. Business Services work in a different way to all the other SEO companies I've been with; they will not let your site down, as they look on it as an extension of their own business and will do everything they can to help it achieve the best it can. It may take time for google to pick up on the work that BSUK and you are putting into the site, but you must be have patience and a hard work ethic and in time you will achieve a great position in the results for the keywords you aim for.

The level of support we’ve received from BSUK has been fantastic, whilst other optimisation providers filled me with false promises and under delivered. The team at BSUK have certainly improved our websites visibility which has improved profits levels. I am so confident in their ability to deliver they are currently designing a new website.

Pete’s business has totally changed the way we do operate online, a few years ago we were struggling to connect with our target audience. The business has gone from being totally reliant on Google Adwords, to being well positioned in the free listings, more importantly profitability has increased 5 fold. I cannot sing their praises highly enough, their hard work and support are now a cornerstone of our business.

Petes services do exactly what they say on the tin.., improve your position on thje major search engines in an organic and sustainable way. And most importantly, he understands the need for the site to convert visitors once they reach your site! And he does it all with good humour and is happy to take the time to explain the reasons for doing certain things (in simple terms for me!). would recommend BSUK to anyone who is serious about improving their web presence and, in turn, the profitability of their web based business
- Matt Kitchen, Quick Sale Houses

Since I started using BSUK I'm amazed at how strong the website has become. Not only has Pete increased traffic to the website he also has helped me with copywriting and together we have formulated a very definite plan of where the website and ultimately the business is going. This is something I never had. I look forward to working with Pete over many years and see www.cashni.com going from strength to strength.

Having had numerous sites built for me in the past in financial services and the food industry I thought I understood the key factors involved but knew I would need some hand holding along the way. Whilst I understand the benefits of technology the mechanics leave me cold. I find it impossible to relate to techies who speak their own peculiar language so sought out an individual with a good grasp of business methods and a clear understanding of internet marketing techniques who could bridge that divide. Through an iterative process we drew together an implementation plan that we both understood and a designer was appointed. There were a few hiccups along the way but the plan was delivered on time and to budget. Once the skeleton was in place the person involved was immensely helpful in structuring the content to be market focused and never hesitated to contribute constructive criticism. It was hard work all round but it did enable us to get Skills Provision into Google news within 6 months of launch. We are now on website number 6 of increasing complexity so I suppose you want to know - who this mystery man? Not quite yet. He sets the highest standards for himself and expects the same of his clients. If you are not worried about hard work and belief in quality at all times then give him a call but don’t waste his time. His name is Peter Arkwright of Business Services UK
- Graeme King, Skills Provision

I have been working with Pete for over eighteen months with a mutual client. His understanding of how SEO works is second to none. He has demonstrated to me that SEO is not “instant” – it takes time, building up a good rapport with his clients, understanding what it is they are trying to achieve, other than the obvious high ranking on Google. He has a direct approach some might flinch at, including myself to begin with, but he gets the desired result. If you are able to provide a good solid strategy of what you want your website to produce then Pete will ensure it does. There are no frills with Pete – he knows what needs to be done and how to get it, so if you genuinely want your website to generate interest then get Pete to do your SEO. If you only want to dip your toe in the water - don’t waste Pete’s time.

"Daily grind mixed with BSUK in-depth knowledge of SEO has helped PeopleVox get to page 1 for our key search term 'inventory management software' in just over 2 months. It is more than that though. The candid direct advice on what we can also do to help get to page 1 and then convert the visitors...this is the real uniqueness of BSUK - they do the whole package and never say what you want to hear just to please you. We get pleased by being on page 1 and getting conversions to £££. And that is what we have now"
- Jonathan Bellwood, Peoplevox

I now realise that having a bad experience with companies which purport to handle SEO is not unusual. For any SME, where budget is important, this area is a minefield. I was recommended to contact Business Service UK by one of it's clients and then followed up a number of testimonials to see if they really were able to get results. The company is customer focused and understands its clients' business needs. And Peter has actually made be understand how I can use SEO as a valuable business tool and drive business to my site.
