About Us

Are you an ambitious business looking to grow with a marketing partner that values your business and wants to grow with you?

Look no further than Search Buddy; Your Brand’s Growth Partner

Our History

Search Buddy was formed in Leeds, West Yorkshire in 2021.

We entered the Digital Marketing space to solve some commonly experienced issues within the industry. With many years of client-side experience, and services received from several Agencies, we had been unable to form sustainable long-term partnerships, for a variety of reasons, including a lack of focus on communication, cohesion, and return on investment.

We use this client-side experience as a driver to develop long-term partnerships with our customers, as we understand the importance of close, collaborative relationships and the impact this on the success of our clients, and therefore our Agency.

In the 10 years prior to the creation of Search Buddy Agency, we have developed long-term relationships with our customers through the sale of specialist marketing products and we are well versed in successfully delivering effective marketing campaigns.

Our management team comes with a wealth of experience in both digital and physical marketing, alongside the key analytical skills acquired from careers in Finance, Banking, and Accountancy.

Tom at Search Buddy has been a huge help to my business! Communication is spot on and the monthly updates of all the stats are great and easy to understand. I would highly recommend 👌

I had quite a few companies approach me to do this work but I wanted someone LOCAL who knows the area and actually answers the phone! Tom came up with a personalised approach to my business and I am already seeing results; if SEO isn't the part of your business you enjoy, leave it to Tom. I actually enjoy it more now because he is fun to work with and I am learning from him. If you're not sure about something - just ask- he is so happy to help and very responsive.

Response from the owner 14:55 04 Aug 25

Thanks very much for the feedback Steph, I'm glad that you're finding SEO enjoyable - something you never thought you'd say 🙂 Cheers, Tom
