Lancaster business celebrates 15 years in the digital marketing industry


""



One of the very first internet marketing agencies to be launched in the UK, SearchQuest Europe Ltd, is celebrating its 15th anniversary.

The business, based on Church Street in the city centre, was founded in 2000 and is this year marking an impressive 15 year journey in the ever-changing digital marketing industry.

Managing director, Vilayte Essa, spoke of his pride at reaching the milestone. He said: “We have grown from humble beginnings into a well-established and adaptable agency with an impressive repertoire of skills and expertise which have helped us develop a bursting portfolio filled with fantastic clients.

“Many internet marketing and SEO agencies are based in London, but we are extremely proud to represent the thriving, buzzing city that is Lancaster and put it on the map. We are committed to Lancaster as a community, which we have shown through our recent sponsorship of Lancaster City FC. We are also very proud to employ 50 local people within our expanding SearchQuest family.”

Vilayte launched SearchQuest 15 years ago, with the aim of providing a service that helps businesses grow organically online. Now, the business is set to expand even further, with the purchase of a building just a couple of doors down the road from the current premises.

Vilayte said: “We recently bought a stunning Georgian building which we are currently renovating with the aim of highlighting its original features, but adding a modern twist. As soon as the renovation is complete, we will be expanding into the building and will be increasing our staff numbers from 50 to 80 in the coming months.

During this forthcoming recruitment drive, we will be looking for experienced salespeople and skilled web designers and developers to join our friendly team.”

The SearchQuest team, affectionately known as ‘Questies’, specialise in different areas of internet marketing, including SEO (search engine optimisation), PPC (pay-per-click), social media marketing, web design, web development and content marketing.

Vilayte added: “Lancashire has a rich industrial history and Lancaster in particular is well-known for its factories. I like to think of SearchQuest as a modern, digital factory. Not only do we provide our services as a marketing solution for many different types of businesses, we also offer our services directly to agencies that specialise solely in web design, branding and PR.

“SearchQuest was one of the first internet marketing agencies to be launched in the UK and now, 15 years later, we are one of the strongest contenders in our field thanks to our forward-thinking, innovative approach to business and digital marketing. A huge achievement of ours is that we provide our services to one of the largest domain registration and hosting companies in Europe. Our key services add extra value to their product offering, which enables them to report far greater client retention.

“I would like to thank our clients, old and new, who have consistently put their trust in us to deliver their visions and grow their brands online. I would also like to thank my fantastic team of Questies, whose enthusiasm and commitment to SearchQuest has helped shape it into the company it is today.

“It is incredible to think about how much we have grown as a business over the last 15 years.We have some extremely exciting plans for the future of SearchQuest and a very clear vision about what SearchQuest is going to look like in another 15 years when we are celebrating our 30th anniversary!”
