PROOF, NOT PROMISES

Results you can check, not promises

We’d rather show you how we measure than show you a wall of percentages. Here’s our own research on the Irish market, what a typical first six months looks like, and the report you get every month.

OUR RESEARCH

We mystery-shopped 68 Irish agencies

In 2026 we contacted 68 Irish SEO and digital marketing agencies the way a normal small business would, and asked what they charge. Agencies are anonymised.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What the first six months usually look like

Every business and every market is different. The free audit tells you what’s realistic for yours.

Month 1

Fix and set up. Technical fixes, Google Business Profile cleaned up, form tracking in place, AI crawler access, llms.txt and schema added.

Months 2–3

First movement. Google Maps positions start to shift for less competitive searches, new service and area pages go live, the review system starts working.

Months 3–6

Page one and AI mentions. Competitive Dublin searches typically move in this window, and AI tools start naming you for more of the questions we track.

Every month

Report and call. A one-page report and a short call to agree what’s next. See what’s in it →

CLIENT CASE STUDIES

Case studies, with real numbers only

We only publish a case study with the client’s real figures and their permission. The first Slyne Digital case studies will appear here as client results come in.

QUESTIONS

Results, answered

Do you guarantee rankings?

No. Nobody controls Google or AI tools, and anyone who guarantees a position is guessing. We guarantee the work, the reporting and honest advice, and the free audit tells you what’s realistic for your business.

How do you measure results?

In enquiries first: calls and form submissions, then the rankings, Google Maps positions and AI mentions behind them. Every plan includes form tracking; Lead Engine adds call tracking and cost per lead.

What if it isn’t working?

Plans are rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice. We ask for three months to judge SEO fairly, and we’ll tell you sooner if we don’t think it’s the right channel for you.

Will you publish my results?

Only with your permission and your real numbers. We never publish anonymous “up 400%” claims we can’t back up.
