FirstFound has made a real difference…
FirstFound has made a real difference for my small UK vaping accessories site, Vaping4Health.co.uk. It's a tricky niche with dry herb vaporizer parts and upgrades, so standard SEO doesn't cut it. Andy and the team took time to understand our products and the weird terms people search (like WPA adapters or dosing capsules). We've had better visibility for specific brand searches now, and traffic feels more on-target. They're easy to work with and seem to know what they're doing in this space. Happy with the progress so far!

5 Star Service
I contacted FirstFound because I needed a new Website building, and to move hosting over to them as a matter of urgency. Everyone I spoke to was extremely helpful and made sure our site was up and running in not time at all. The whole team listened to my requirements and the site is exactly how I wanted it to be. The SEO is great, we are already getting a lot of new enquiries. I also needed help with our emails, as our previous host was not contactable. Will Harper has been a tremendous help throughout the entire process. He responds quickly, he's very friendly and patient and nothing is too much trouble. I can't recommend FirstFound enough!

And a special thanks for highlighting Will Harper! We’re proud to have responsive, helpful people like him on the team, and we'll certainly pass on your kind words.

I have taken the service of this…
I have taken the service of this company- for SEO and social media marketing-the person who took phone in beginning was persuasive enough to make you sign the contact.
After one year of service and pathetic social media adverts-the person assigned will call weekly like a robot ,didn’t post anything for 4 months and then came up with the worst -I received 0 calls/0 engagement after paying 4000£ pounds.
Disappointed and lost money for no service.
I wouldn’t recommend.

Incredible service 10/10
The service we have received for this company has been incredible. We have delt with Matt and Will and the professional and prompt service they have given us is 10/10.
We went to this company to build a new website for our company and we are over the moon with the results.
We have been trading for over 15 years and we have to say this company are miles ahead of any other we have delt with. 100% recommend. Thank you Matt and Will.

All the people I've dealt with from this company have been incredibly helpful, friendly & professional; they really do take the time to explain answer any questions for people with limited knowledge of SEO and have been very good at keeping me updated and providing feedback on how to further improve our website for higher ranking results - big shout out to Liam D for all of his hard work 🙌🏼
I have two websites being optimised by FirstFound and they're very reasonably priced. I've known SEO companies to charge a lot more for far less value ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I highly doubt that the 5 star reviews are genuine.
FirstFound are scam artists that get you to sign up and pay a large deposit before they design you a new website (Wordpress) and then charge you per month for SEO which they don't do. They then buy your web address without you knowing and transfer ownership. We only knew this once we tried to cancel our package. We had no new enquiries with the website and the old Wix website which we had done ourselves before performed much better. This company need to be shut down and reported to Trading Standards.

Hi Rick Taylor,
We’re truly sorry to read how unhappy you’ve felt about your experience with us, and we completely understand that frustrations around website performance and SEO can run high, especially when things aren’t turning around as quickly as hoped. We always want our clients to feel supported, heard, and confident in the services they receive, so it’s disappointing to hear this hasn’t been your experience.
We’d like to take a moment to respectfully address some of the points you’ve raised, as we feel it’s important to be transparent.
Firstly, regarding our reviews - all of our feedback is 100% genuine and comes from real clients who have chosen to share their experience. We're proud of the relationships we’ve built, and while we understand that no company gets it right for every customer, we’ve always aimed to operate with integrity.
We want to be very clear that we are not scam artists. Like many agencies, our service structure includes an upfront cost to set up and build a website, followed by a monthly fee to support ongoing SEO and site maintenance. This isn’t unusual in our industry and is always clearly outlined at the start of any engagement.
In your case, we were working to reverse a significant drop in traffic and search performance that had already occurred before you joined us. These situations take time to recover from, and while we fully acknowledge that progress wasn’t immediate, the data was showing a positive upward trend at the time your service ended. It’s unfortunate that this momentum wasn’t allowed to continue.
We also want to clarify that your domain was never purchased or transferred without your knowledge. We only worked with you on several occasions to implement requested changes to your setup. While there were some technical challenges in doing this at times, we did our best to assist whenever possible and always kept you informed.
It’s regrettable that your expectations weren’t met, and we sincerely wish we could have aligned sooner so that you might have seen the full benefit of the work put in. We always welcome open and constructive dialogue, so if you’d like to reconnect and discuss anything further, we’re more than happy to talk. Please feel free to call 0161 909 3400 or email communications@firstfound.co.uk
Wishing you all the best going forward.
Kind regards,
The FirstFound Team

I have worked with First Found since 2009 and they have consistently helped us use the correct key words to get great rankings (i.e. top 10 or higher) in the various categories that relate to our products. They have also been very helpful in making sure that we use the most appropriate words for SEO to give us these results.
I can thoroughly recommend them to anyone who wants to benefit from getting high rankings on Google and other search engines.

Well done Will !
Working with Will (William Harper) on my Micro website has been an absolute pleasure. I'm easy to panic around technology and being a disciplined photographer get jittery when starting a new & important project. Will couldn't have been a better person to work with, he guided with patience and care. Will also went the extra mile when I had some last minute changes and again did so with good will (pun not intended) and thoroughness making me feel confident throughout. 👍

Disappointed
I signed up with FirstFound for SEO services, hoping to attract more customers to my business. Unfortunately, despite making significant payments, I saw no return on investment. While I understand that SEO is a long-term process, I expected some measurable improvements over the months I was with them, but I did not receive any leads or inquiries.
The company emphasised their upfront work and long-term strategy, but in my case, it did not deliver results. When I requested to end the service due to financial hardship, they initially insisted on further payments despite my concerns. After multiple discussions, they eventually agreed to close my account, but only after significant back-and-forth.
Overall, my experience was disappointing, and I would caution others to carefully consider whether this service is the right fit for their business before committing to a long-term contract.

Hello,
We're genuinely sorry that you feel this way. As fellow small business owners, we always strive to support our clients and provide high-quality services that help them grow.
We feel it’s important to provide some context for others reading this review. You signed a 12-month agreement for a custom website and SEO strategy, fully understanding and agreeing to the terms. We delivered exactly as promised – a new website, and increased visibility of 445% in the first month alone and continued growth thereafter.
Despite this progress, you requested to cancel after just three months, even though SEO is a long-term strategy, as discussed in our initial consultations, and your acknowledgement in your review. When you informed us of your decision, we made every effort to discuss potential solutions with you, trying to find ways to help you. However, you refused to engage in meaningful discussions and instead insisted on cancelling early and non-payment, despite the clear terms of our agreement.
As a small business, we invest significant time, expertise, and resources into each project, and we also have employees and operational costs to consider. When agreements aren’t honoured, it impacts not just us as a company but also the hardworking people who rely on us.
The website and SEO work we provided required substantial time, expertise, and resources from us. These are services we fully delivered in good faith, yet instead of acknowledging the work done, we received this one-star review and refusal of payment. We take all feedback seriously, but it is disappointing to be portrayed unfairly when we acted professionally and delivered measurable results.
We remain committed to providing quality services and addressing concerns professionally and fairly. We wish you the best in your future endeavours.
Kind regards,
Andrew Dutson
Happy with FirstFound (Search engine Consultants)
First Found is a company that is true to its word
We have been working with them for about 3 months now, and they are by far the best company we have worked with.
First Found has just set up Google ads for us and Lynsey Grogan, who has been very helpful and Iam sure will do as good a job with Google ads as Sam Carter has done with SEO. We feel sure that working with FirstFound will be as rewarding in the future as it is at present

What a waste of time this company is.
What a waste of time this company is.
They seem to think that 'service' is taking money to do nothing, then to feed you with Guff to take even more money to do even more nothing.
Do not waste your time and money on this disingenuous company.
Their response is merely more tosh.
I waited a week for the phone call they promised.
However, no call was received.
I did however, receive a demand for a direct debit.

Hi David,
We’re sorry to hear that you felt disappointed with your experience. Our goal is always to provide a service that aligns with our clients' needs, which is why we have a structured onboarding process that includes a conversation with an account manager. This step ensures we fully understand your goals, expectations, and how best to deliver results for you.
Unfortunately, despite multiple attempts to engage with you as part of this process, we were unable to do so. As a service-based business, collaboration and communication are essential for success. Without this, we couldn’t confidently proceed, as we always want to ensure we are the right fit for our clients.
When it became clear that our approach wasn’t the right match for your expectations, we processed your refund immediately to ensure you are not out of pocket, as our priority is to work with clients where we can add real value.
We regret that you feel this way but stand by our commitment to ethical service. If you ever reconsider and are open to working through our structured process, we’d be happy to help in the future.
Wishing you all the best,
Gavin O'Callaghan
