Digital Exposure has always struggled with appearing consistently in the top 10 of Google for our keywords. We never really got any better than page 2, and search results was not desirable. After dealing with some big named SEO companies in Australia who farmed our work out offshore, and they delivered what they promised, but only for about 10 seconds, we decided to look elsewhere. After wasting time and money with theses so called Aussie SEO companies we decided to look around and that lead us to Smart Traffic.
We are now in the top 10 of Google for 20 different key phrases and in some cases we're top 3. Our contact is Leo Michaels, who I'd recommend to anyone for honest, no crap, and results focused service.
Digital Exposure has been now dealing with Smart Traffic for 18 months and haven't looked back. If you're serious about optimization then you can't go wrong with Smart Traffic's Leo Michaels.
We are only a small business with a very limited budget - but Smart Traffic pulled out all the stops for us to get our selected keywords up to the top ranking. Not only that, we really feel that our Campaign Manager, Richard Pearce, gives a splendid service - he is helpful, personable and friendly. He listens to us, our ideas and any concerns, making helpful suggestions all the way. Small as we are, we feel we matter too. Many thanks.
I have used Smart Traffic for over 2 years with excellent results. We did an initial campaign with them for 1 year have seen a major increase (over 600%) of hits to our business thus cutting down on Google Ad words, which has saved us so much money. We have in the past used another SEO company with really disappointing (and expensive!!) results. Our current account manager Richard Pearce is really proactive, positive and delightful to deal with. Very professional firm with great results and only promises what is can deliver! We have just started another compaign for 1 year.
I have always been pleased with the rankings Smart Traffic have achieved for us.
Campaigns and target phrases generally result in us getting the result we hope for.
David Haslam at Smart Traffic deals with my account and I find him very proactive and helpful. He calls me on a regular basis and is always eager to get started on any new idea's I may pass his way.
Overall, I'm very happy and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.
we work with smart traffic for several years, and the results could not be better. Our website is on the top of the search engines for very competitive keywords. Their customer service is very good, reporting is very comprehensive and informative. We are had of any competitors. Very much recommend the company.

I was a little skeptical when I decided to use Smart Traffic to improve my page rankings within Google natural listings because of so much bad publicity surrounding SEO Companies. I was designated an account manager (Laurence Porter) who answered all my questions and reassured my concerns and within a few weeks things started to happen for my website, with some of the chosen keywords moving up to the first page of Google, over the coming months other keywords started hitting the top pages, I was then given a new account manager (Richard Pearce) who continued the high quality of service. If was asked to recommend a SEO Company then I would have no hesitation in recommending Smart Traffic.
When I was looking for SEO I searched high and low and spoke to many companies. Most were only intent on closing the deal and full of bullshit. My original contact at Smart-Traffic prioritised my concerns and answered them, bent over backwards to both demonstrate the process and reassure my doubts. He got the business. Subsequently Smart Traffic have taken my website from worse than nowhere on Google right up to the top of the natural listings on more than a handful of search terms. My contact/account manager changed but the quality of service got better and continues in that vein. I have no hesitation in singing the praises of Smart Traffic. They are simply the best !
Over the last ten years I’ve employed a number of apparent SEO experts, who have all failed to produce any notable results, nor clearly explain their strategy or goals.
David Haslam of Smart Traffic has been the exception. He contacted me at point of launch of our new web-site and proposed a simple but considered plan, with easy to monitor goals.
Thus far I’ve been delighted by Smart Traffic’s ‘hands on approach’ which has resulted in targets being met and genuine, on going progress with the sites overall standing.
Having recently acquired a new website and branding it was imperative that work was completed that allowed our website to rise in the search ranks of Google etc. We approached a number of SEO companies & explained our requirements and required results - a number of these (which shall remain nameless) were outlining very basic link building for quite a cost, Smart Traffic were a lot different and explained the whole process to me (I'm not that green on this subject) and was finally rewarded a service to commend. The work is ongoing but so far excellent, with strong support.
All in all a very good and highly recommended business from my angle where competition is very strong!
Kind Regards,
I have used Smart Traffic for nearly 3 years now and would highly recommend their services. Each campaign has achieved the targets we set out at the beginning and we have been kept very well informed as to how the campaign is developing through the campaign centre, reports and regular telephone contact with our campaign manager. One of the best results of the SEO work Smart Traffic has done is that it has allowed us to reduce expenditure on other advertising as we are getting far more leads through Googles organic listings now. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.
We are are print company who were in the top three for all our keywords when we were approached by Smart Traffic offering a better service. We were duped and spent in excess of £15,000 with them.
They provided poor link building and our site not only dropped down the rankings it wasn't found in the top 100 for any keyword and the only way you could search was if you knew our name.
In our keywords that they were working on we have less than 200 visits which works out at £75 per visit.
We tried to cancel the contract with Smart Traffic but we were told legal action would be taken. Yes they do do link building but it is not quality link building. Read the small print as it is impossible to get out of contract and it doesn't state that they will provide quality links.
We have now gone back to our old company who have been able to overturn our penalty with Google taking 11 months to do so. We are now rising up the
Avoid at all costs - we are still picking up the pieces.
A friendly, professional service - delivering good results that are quantifiable. The services are provided at a good commercial rate, so a long term partnership can be established and maintained. I am happy to support them as a client and to recommend them to third parties.
In four short months we’re now 3rd place on page 1 for UK searches and 7thplace on page 1 for worldwide searches. From no-where to somewhere that fast is pretty impressive.
Using only common sense and plenty of hard work, Smart Traffic has helped us enter top positions within our core terms that had previously been occupied by other brands…The results to date have shown us that Smart Traffic know their stuff and have guided us into the world of SEO!
Be careful. They will tie you into a long contract.
They use their 50/50 offer to draw you in. Once they have 4 out of 20 keywords on page 1 of Google you will be pressured to sign a 12 month contract. Out of the 20 keywords, at least 4 will be MUCH easier to achieve page 1 - clever eh!! We have wasted £13,000 and over 12 months with these clowns. Our visitors increased briefly during the trial when they build powerful temporary links, but once you are on a contract the visitors crashed and remained that way for a year.
Do yourself a big favour and avoid Smart Traffic, I wish we had.

Over the past six months we have found working with Will Hare and Smart Traffic to be a real pleasure. But more importantly their SEO skills and experience has definitely made a real difference to our rankings and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to any company looking to improve their online performance.
Smart Traffic is excellent SEO Company, I have started SEO with them since last 6 months and they provide me the best result for my business. They give me Top 10 ranking for my keywords. Working with Smart Traffic is great experience, they provides updates on regular basis.
Smart Traffic have skills in all areas – developing and leading the way in anything new that may arise. This is critical in a competitive arena such as Travel, so having an SEO company with the vast resources that Smart Traffic have at their disposal have been essential in ranking above (and staying above!) our competitors.
Smart Traffic keep us constantly updated with their progress and we have seen traffic to our site increase significantly since their work began. We hope to use their services in the future and look forward to seeing our business’ online presence grow as a result.

To get us to in the top three in Google, Yahoo and Bing within just two months has been outstanding.
Just a quick line to extend our Thanks to the Smart Traffic team for the excellent service and advice you have provided our company for over 2 years now. We have been very pleased with the results of your efforts in helping us expand our website and SEO Work, our placement and our customer base.
After their onsite work and a small amount of link building, we are now ranking on Google.com pages 1-3 for our most important keywords here in the USA, and it took almost no time at all! This team knows what to do and has what it takes to get you maximum exposure via the web. Trust them!”
Rank 63 to Rank 1 in three months! One phrase- 'Cornwall Chalet' is now responsible for generating over 80% of all bookings at Penquite Chalet! Smart Traffic's affordable, transparent, SEO service has boosted our business beyond all expectations. I recommend these guys if you need to see maximum return from your budget....very happy.
Understanding the importance of quality link building for high rankings, I was looking for an SEO company that would deliver what they promised. Smart Traffic has certainly delivered what they have promised and as a result I have seen some fantastic rankings for our most important keywords. I would not hesitate in recommending them to other companies wishing to improve their rankings in Google.
Isn't it funny that when a bad review is posted here a good one suddenly appears. I wish we had read through the whole of this site before we took them on.
We had a link building campaign and were sold highly relevant links to our niche. Imagine our horror when the links appeared on totally irelevant websites. Their argument was that the link were on a relevant page.
This is what they do. They have another part of the company www.free-seo-company.com they seek out websites and offer them 10 free links a month is they can have a link directory on the site. They then build pages on the site and put the links in place. Getting highly relevant links is not easy so this is how they work round it. If they had the directory on a website selling industrial cleaners but you baby food, they would build a baby food page on that site and low and behold they have now given you a relevant link. Wonderful, not, no page rank and no relevancy whatsoever in Google's eyes.
Not only are they weak and irrelevant but unbelievably overpriced at £20 to £30 a link. All of their linking is outsourced anyway to India and Thailand as well as the Phillipines.
Be very wary is all I'd say.

I am writing thus smart-traffic.co.uk review on behalf of my business partner who is positively raving (not raving mad!) about the work that Smart Traffic have done for us and the fortunes of our online jewellery business. You may think why is he not writing it himself? The truth is he can barely use a computer so to save time I have taken the mantle. One thing my esteemed partner does understand though is the increased ching, ching of our tills which has come about as a direct result of our work with Smart Traffic. All work has been completed on time, to budget and with results within (sometimes well within) the original timescale set by Smart Traffic. We are about to start our third year of work with Smart Traffic and look forward to working with them for many years to come. Special thanks to Mr B – (you know who you are)
I have had a horrendous experience with Smart Traffic. I signed up for a pay 1/2 now half on results package with an ETA of 3 months.
I had to chase up reports, the only time my account manager contacted me was for payment. It took so long I had to pay for other services that helped push the site to where it should have been. After 12 months Smart Traffic then decided to invoice me for the 2nd payment even though their work alone did not get me the rankings. When I pointed this out they were not interested and insisted that they had done extra work to get the site to where it was.
I asked to see the extra links but they refused and still insisted on payment and that the contract ensured I would have to pay. I said in that case I would need time to pay at which point they passed it straight to a debt collector. I have never dealt with such an unprofessional company with such a bully boy approach in my life.
The links suppied are extremely weak and unbelievably overpriced, they outsource their linking to the Phillipines, suffice to say that I will never want to have anything to do with them again.
Our firm has tried 3 different companies before signing a contract with smart traffic and it goes without saying that the first 3 didn’t live up to expectations or wed still be using one of them. The main problem with them was that they never seemed to be very well organised, a criticism that I couldn’t level at ST. They laid out a detailed plan when we first talked to them, which included using social websites like facebook as well as increasing the number of external links to our site, and have followed it for the 9 months that we have been working with them. Search engine rankings are greatly improved, traffic is up and business is booming so we are very pleased with the service so far. One minor niggle was a bit of a personality clash between myself and their account manager. As soon as I brought it up they moved us to another manager though so everything is fine now.
It’s been first time lucky for me with Smart Traffic. Never used an SEO firm before so did not know what to expect. David is the guy who keeps me in touch with what they are doing and after only 12 weeks there’s been some improvement in the rankings my site gets for searches with google. I didn’t expect miracles but for 3 of the phrases we picked the site is now at the top of page 2 of results and it used to be somewhere in between the 20th and 30th pages for these phrases. If things continue like this then I will get the page 1 rankings that I was promised so I can’t ask for more than that. What they have done is a mixture of articles for my site and links from other sites and I am making m ore sales and getting a lot more enquiries so they must know what they are doing.
