gsd started life almost 15-years ago as a specialist SEO agency in the ultra competitive financial sector, growing and investing in our own people and services.
We grew not only our SEO division across 3-continents but our own products, businesses in insurance, finance, SaaS and tech to £m businesses using only the internet.
Winning awards for growth along the way.
But, prior to covid it dawned on us that we missed search, we missed the thing that really got our juices going and we missed the hustle and bustle of trying to outwit Google everyday.
… and paying VAT bills is way more boring.
Not to mention our annoyance of not being able to find an agency who would actually put their neck on the line for their hefty retainers & deliver simple, scalable, predictable campaigns.
So one rainy Tuesday in April 2019, we decided to get shit done, again.
Now GSD Marketing is filling that void, delivering transparent SEO, PPC, Social, Paid Media and Content campaigns that deliver tangible and valuable growth to the end client.
…at prices that give our 132 live campaigns an edge and 26 agency partners up to 100% margin.
Our unique experience of being the client, the agency and spending our own cash to make a profit gives us the bollocks to say:
“we help deliver digital campaigns that are ultra efficient, rewarding and just, well, better for you while growing your business and making you more cash”
OK, it actually took me 31 seconds to read it but I figured you’ll be a faster reader than me ;)
In 2022 we were very proud to learn that one of our agency partners in London was voted for and won several prestigious industry awards thanks largely to our SEO support.
In a very competitive financial services market where the competition is banks, government agencies and global SaaS platforms, we were proud to sit at #1 on search for terms with over 100k monthly searches.
Client: London Paid Media Agency
Year: 2022
I know what you’re thinking.
“Danny, where do I sign up?”
Hold your horses Walter, I need to tell you a secret first.
The secret is that my time and my teams services are invite only, you have to be recommended by someone to get in, have a client in an industry that I really want to smash or be invited by me personally.
Think Brad Pitt in Fight Club, although my choice in hat is better ;)
The other thing is that I only work with a limited amount of clients and spaces are limited to those I enjoy working with as a priority. I don’t enjoy letting people down.
Drop me a message on danny@gsd.agency if you tick those boxes.
Let’s assume you’re the perfect client for me, what happens next? Keep reading.
The big secret?
I can help with this…
Strategy
The nitty-gritty, the grey matter tweaking ever-changing theory of acquiring customers on the internet is the thing that gets us out of bed in the morning. If you’re not sure where to start or where you want your client to finish, let us put the pieces together for you. We run strategy as a monthly add-on or as one off projects.
Paid Media
We’ve spent more than £10m of our own cash from our own businesses on failing at paid media so your clients don’t have to. This unique perspective means that we treat every penny like it’s our own, we care, we’re transparent and if we don’t see you making a dime from it, we’ll tell you.
SEO
Search Engine Optimisation, my bag, the passion in my day (yes, I’m that sad). Competing against Google and the others trying to convince it that they are the best answer to a users question really lights my fire. The theory, experience and practice involved in quantifying that against real ROI targets is where I’m comfortable.
Content
The old saying ‘content is king’ is a little outdated now, I prefer the Ronseal approach “does what it says on the tin”. This is possibly the simplest and yet most important part of content, whether that’s the written word, images or videos, users need simple, easy to follow ‘junior school’ steps to take action.
Social Management
I have a great in-house team in house that helps multiple agencies deliver social media management campaigns across lots of industries including one man bands, all the way to global fashion houses. If basic, day to day creation, scheduling and management is what you need, we got you.
Account Management
In the majority of our agency partner relationships we handle the full account management from start to finish. This includes the initial strategy, pitching, day to day projects, comms, reporting and everything in between. Some agencies prefer us just to do the leg work though! We’re flexible.
