Case Study: Reviving Organic Growth for Superimage Ltd

S uperimage Ltd approached us in mid-January 2025 with a critical business problem. Despite running Google Ads campaigns that generated results, their organic search presence was completely non-existent. The company had been paying a previous SEO agency for over a year with zero return on investment. We did not only achieve a consistent top positions in traditional Google Search Results but also ranked in Google AI Overviews, LLMS like Chatgpt and Google Business Profile (GMB/GBP) in the UK.

Initial Site Audit Revealed Critical Issues:

  • Zero organic leads generated in the past 12 months
  • Nearly 1,000 outbound links selling link placements to other websites
  • Links to direct competitors embedded within their own site
  • 250+ toxic and spammy backlinks damaging domain authority
  • Domain Authority of only 9 – extremely weak for competitive rankings
  • Poorly optimized service pages with no structured data
  • Limited local visibility despite being a UK-focused service business
