Sinead Curtin2024-12-10 We couldn't be happier with the service we received from Kate and the team at Webhive. Their excellent communication and expert knowledge in SEO and ad management made a significant difference to our business. They were always reliable, kept us updated every step of the way, and their pricing was very reasonable for the value they delivered. Thanks to their efforts, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in traffic and conversions. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, results-driven digital marketing support! Podknows Podcasting2024-11-04 Kate and the whole Webhive team did a great job for Podknows in getting the site ranking for some pretty competitive terms. Would highly recommend! Sakib Mohammed2024-06-14 Excellent experience with great results and performance improvement to my website. Knows her stuff. yusuf zaman2023-11-11 The best in the business! Honestly guys Kate is the best at what she does. I have tried other companies in the past but no one comes close to Kate! Pascalle Bergmans2023-08-30 Kate was AMAZING! In just 1 hour she answered all of my questions and helped me understand exactly what I needed to know about SEO for a project I was doing. She was clear in her communication and really took her time with me. Would give 6 stars if I could!

Thanks for the review! Hope my SEO services helped boost your online visibility! Essex Aquatics2023-03-27 Webhive Digital completely redesigned and rebuilt our website. They worked with us to overcome and solve all the problems we had previously. We also get them to carry out ongoing monthly SEO and so far have seen fantastic results. Could not recommend them highly enough.

Happy to help your business thrive with monthly SEO services and the new website design! 🙂 UK Pet Food2023-01-24 We have been working with Kate on our SEO for our new website and complete rebrand, including new name UK Pet Food. It has been a concern for us to get our SEO back to previous high levels of our old website, with a more competitive name, but so far in 3 months it is definitely going in the right direction and Kate has this all in-hand with regular useful updates, which is really reassuring! Being able to work on a monthly SEO package basis is great for us as a small organisation, enabling us to analyse whether additional consultancy is required as we go along.

Happy to continue supporting to with a monthly SEO retainer to boost positions even further now we have re-established positions :). Karen Cinnamon2023-01-23 Kate is simply outstanding. I run several online brands and communities and I have very high expectations when it comes to the design and UX of my platforms. I am very detail orientated and have big business goals and I feel very fortunate to work with Webhive as my web design retainer. No task is too big or too small and Kate undertakes every project with enthusiasm, professionalism and always, always meets my deadlines. Every online business needs a Kate. I highly recommend her.
