Why Old SEO is Dead (And What Replaced It)

Most SEO agencies still sell tactics from 2015. Google's moved on. If your Chester SEO strategy still involves keyword stuffing and dodgy links, you're paying someone to get you penalised.

Old-School SEO

Keyword stuffing
Cramming "SEO Chester" 47 times into a page
PBN link networks
Buying links from fake blogs that Google ignores
Thin 300-word pages
Content written for bots, not humans
Exact-match domains
best-seo-chester-agency.co.uk
Monthly PDF reports
50 pages of vanity metrics nobody reads
Secret sauce promises
"We can't tell you what we do, just trust us"
⚠️ These tactics get you penalised by Google in 2026. Some agencies still sell them.

How We Do SEO Differently in Chester

No smoke and mirrors. Here's exactly what we do, step by step, when you hire us as your SEO agency. Every step uses real APIs and live data — not vibes and guesswork. Click each step to see the details.

AI-Powered Audit

Forget those free "SEO score" tools that give you a number and zero context. We plug your site into DataForSEO's crawling API — the same data pipeline that powers enterprise tools like Ahrefs. Every URL gets checked: Core Web Vitals, indexation issues, broken links, duplicate content, schema markup, crawl budget. Then we run the same crawl on your top 3 Chester competitors. You get a side-by-side comparison showing exactly where they're beating you and where you can overtake them.

The Tools Behind the Results

Most SEO agencies use the same toolbar everyone else has — plug in a URL, get a score, send you a PDF. We connect directly to raw data APIs and build custom analysis pipelines. Here's what that actually means for your business.

DataForSEO API

Enterprise-level SERP data without the enterprise price tag

What it actually does

Crawls your entire site the way Google does — every URL, every link, every error
Pulls real-time SERP data for any keyword (who ranks, what they wrote, how long the content is)
Competitor backlink analysis — see exactly who links to them and why
Core Web Vitals data direct from Chrome UX Report (real user speeds, not lab tests)
Tracks ranking changes daily, not weekly like most tools

Why this matters for your business

Here's the thing most agencies won't tell you: Ahrefs and SEMrush are brilliant tools, but they're built for marketers clicking buttons. We connect directly to the same raw data via API, which means we can run custom analyses — like pulling every keyword your top 3 Chester competitors rank for but you don't, in seconds. We scrape live data, not cached results from last month.

Real example

When we checked "seo chester" on DataForSEO, we got the exact top 10 results, their domain authority, backlink counts, content length, and page speed — in 0.3 seconds. That same analysis on Ahrefs takes 5 minutes of clicking around.

How this compares to standard SEO tools:

Ahrefs (£79-399/mo), SEMrush (£99-449/mo), and Moz (£79-479/mo) are great products — designed for marketers who click buttons and read dashboards. We use the same underlying data sources via direct API access, plus custom scrapers and analysis scripts that go deeper than any off-the-shelf tool can. The result? You get enterprise-level intelligence without paying enterprise prices. And because we're developers who code, we build bespoke analysis for each client instead of running the same generic report everyone else gets.
