I had the pleasure of partnering with Matt, Lynn and the team at Submerge to develop content that truly resonated with our target audience at Riviera. From the outset, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of our brand's voice and goals, crafting strategies that were not only data-driven but also incredibly effective. The content they created was engaging, informative, and perfectly tailored to our audience, which led to a significant boost in our online visibility and user engagement.What impressed me most was their commitment to delivering quality at every stage of the process. They took the time to understand our industry nuances and consistently provided insights that helped refine our approach. Their proactive communication and willingness to be part of the team made the collaboration seamless and enjoyable.Thanks to Submerge, we saw measurable growth in our organic traffic, improved search rankings, and built a stronger connection with our audience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their SEO and content strategy.

I have had the pleasure to know and work with Submerge and the team across several years. From content production, consultancy to SEO and search marketing. I have seen them grown from a boutique into a successful international search and production agency that manages to retain their core aim of ensuring a personal and accountable approach for each project. They are able to produce great results, to budget and exceed. I would highly recommend them. Get in touch and have a chat about your next search project - they might just surprise you!.

I had the pleasure of working with Matt and the team from Submerge when I launched a new beer subscription club.It was a completely new brand and no-one had heard of us, so we understood the importance of our online presence.Submerge helped us hugely and the traffic to our site was really strong thanks to their help with SEO and social media, and ensuring we had content (and keywords) that attracted the right audience.Not only did they suggest topics / blog content, write the content (ensuring all those keywords were in there) and upload the content, but they were also extremely good at reporting on the results in a way that gave us the detail we needed but in a way that it could be presented to the whole c-suite (not just the marketing experts).They went above and beyond to help our business grow, but they also took a lot of time to explain the importance and relevance of SEO and strengthening our website.They were valuable in making the brand a success and I learnt a considerable amount from working with them.I would highly recommend other businesses to work with Submerge to help quickly strengthen their brand presence, andI hope to work with Matt and the team on more projects in the future.
