About KickstartSEO
You've found us because your website's invisible online. Competitors you outperform every day are stealing your customers. Not because they're better - just because Google found them first.
After helping UK businesses get found online since 1995, we know exactly how to fix that. And unlike most SEO agencies, we'll show you exactly what we're doing, why it works, and how to measure real progress.
Log into your KickstartSEO Portal anytime and see exactly what's happening. No black boxes, no mysterious monthly reports. Just clear data showing your progress.
Whether you want professional tools for DIY, AI-guided implementation, or complete done-for-you transformation, we've got you covered. And you can move between levels as your needs change.
We've been doing this since before Google existed. Survived every algorithm change, adapted to every update, and we're preparing clients for AI search while dominating traditional rankings.
Month-to-month service (Premium needs 3 months for transformation). If we're not delivering meaningful progress, you're free to go. Our relationships last because of results, not contracts.
Think of SEO like physical fitness. You need honest assessment, proper training, and consistent maintenance. That's why we've structured our services around this proven approach:
Get the same professional SEO tools we use, plus a roadmap that actually makes sense. Perfect if you've got more time than money and prefer rolling up your sleeves. You're never alone - our Facebook community's got your back.
Takes Essentials to the next level. You still get all the tools, but now Norman does the heavy lifting - analysing, creating content, implementing changes. You just review and approve. Like having a tireless assistant who actually knows SEO.
Complete transformation while you run your business. I personally handle everything - strategy, implementation, the lot. You can watch progress in real-time through your dashboard, but you don't need to lift a finger. It's the full personal trainer experience.
Every service tier includes access to the KickstartSEO Portal - your SEO command centre where you track progress, get our recommendations, and actually understand what's happening.
"I don't want to be the biggest. I just want to be the best choice for the businesses who choose me."
This isn't just a nice soundbite. It means you get proper attention, not template solutions. When you call, you get me - not some call centre in Dudley. I meet every client before taking them on because if I can't genuinely help, I won't take your money.
Look, I'm not a big London agency with views of the Shard. Not even the biggest agency in Bedford (though the views at Wrest Park are lovely). I don't have a team of 30 or thousands of clients. I deliberately limit my client base to ensure everyone gets the service they deserve.
No multimillion-pound turnover here. No fancy offices with pool tables and bean bags. Just proven expertise, honest advice, and results that actually move the needle for your business.
I'm Michael Nagles, and I've been getting businesses found online since the days when Yahoo was a directory and Ask Jeeves was actually asking.
My journey started in the US Army, where I learned that success comes from strategic thinking, common sense, and just getting things done. After ten years of military service, I built my first website in 1995. Been hooked ever since.
In 2008, I launched my first digital agency. Moved it to the UK in 2011 (my wife Teri is British - been married 40 years). Although I wasn't born here, I've been in and out of the UK for 40 years. I may not be native, but I got here as quick as I could.
After running a website design franchise through the pandemic, I realised something: the SEO industry needed fixing. Time and again, I heard similar frustrations from business owners. They were paying agencies far more than we charge, getting zero transparency, and seeing no meaningful results. Contracts held them hostage while pricing made my eyes water.
The industry had lost its way - focused on locking clients in rather than delivering value. Too much smoke and mirrors, not enough straight talk and real results.
So in 2024, I launched KickstartSEO with a different approach. Reasonable pricing, no contracts, complete visibility of what needs doing, what's been done, and what results you're getting. Revolutionary concept in this industry, apparently. (Us Americans are pretty fond of revolutions.)
The same year, I transformed my own fitness - lost 30% of my body weight through proper assessment, planning, and consistent work. That's when it clicked: getting websites fit follows the exact same process. Hence, SEO Fitness Specialists.
Today, I'm still short and bald, but now I'm fit. And I can do the same for your website. (Well, I'm more skinny than muscle-bound. But I look great dressed. And who wants a skinny website?)
And here's the thing - it's not just me working for you. I've built a proper team that shares my commitment to getting real results for real businesses.
That's me. Been helping businesses get found online since 1995, before Google even existed. Built my first website when clients were still asking if "this internet thing would catch on." I personally oversee every client strategy because your success is my success. Still answer my own phone.
Dee ensures you're never alone in your SEO journey. She manages our Facebook community, helps coordinate support, and - here's the best bit - she's also a client. She knows exactly what you're going through because she's been there. After working with me for 12 years, she gets how we do things.
Our AI strategist who works 24/7 analysing opportunities and implementing improvements. Norman's not just another AI tool - he combines tactical analysis with strategic thinking, powered by my three decades of experience. Clear, actionable insights without the waffle. Only KickstartSEO has Norman, and he's brilliant at what he does.
That's it. The entire team.
No call centres. No mysterious outsourcing. No account managers you'll never meet. Just us, working directly on your success. Small enough to care, experienced enough to deliver.
When your website's fighting fit, here's what happens:
Your competitors aren't waiting. Every day you stay invisible is another day they're stealing your customers. But I can fix that.
Here's how we get started:
