FirstFound

FirstFound, digital marketing consultancy in Manchester

FirstFound is a digital marketing consultancy based in Manchester that works with businesses across the UK. Founded in 2000, the company began in a small Manchester office at a time when most business owners doubted the role of the internet as a revenue driver. Its first clients, described by the company itself as pioneers, took a chance on its search engine optimisation service and, according to its account, the results soon convinced more businesses of the benefits of SEO and internet marketing.

More than twenty years later, FirstFound employs over 30 people and claims to have helped thousands of business owners navigate the digital landscape. Its activity, initially focused on SEO, has expanded to all areas of digital marketing.
