Hi there, we are Bigwave Media. 

We are a creative growth agency with offices in Exeter, Plymouth & Torquay, Devon.

We provide innovative and cost effective marketing, design and digital services for companies large and small with a focus on excellent results.

We offer a complete range of in-house resources tailored to all marketing needs for effective online and offline campaigns. 

Our agency was born out of a desire to mutually share our skillsets to help grow businesses and make a difference.

Our philosophy is to start with a small drop and build to a Big Wave.  

We deliver a range of local SEO services to a wide variety of industries and businesses ranging from large to small and across the UK but proud ourselves in our ability to deliver an accessible SEO service, close to home. 

Our local Exeter SEO team provides search engine optimisation services for local businesses in and arround Exeter ranging from local shops to service providers and B2B of any size.

We saw an opportunity to take innovation to the Leisure sector, becoming the first national, and now leading, creative growth partner for the UK leisure industry. 

We focus on getting you results.  Understanding what your customers want, gives you the power to meet that demand, deliver information / services at the right time and ultimately grow your bottom line.  It's one thing to create stunning designs for print but a completely different set of challenges face design for digital delivery.  

Websites are one area we excel with strong, creative designs grounded with a good grasp of the technical challenges and limitations allowing us to create a great user experience.

Digital design isn't just about the web.

Through clear business intelligence you can take understanding and turn it into clear actionable results

Our range of results focused services can provide support, training or simple reporting to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Whether you want to know what your customers are seeking most on your website, to what degree non-customers are aware of your brand or how to move your business forward - our team of marketers, creative professionals and business consultants can deliver and support your business.

We now work with over 200 clients across a diverse range of sectors, including bio-tech, manufacturing, food & beverage, culture, education and finance.  Our large team of IN-HOUSE graphic designers and branding experts are fanatical about injecting quality and creativity into every project.

All with a single focus on making a difference and becoming a strategic and practical delivery partner with our clients.

Our Exeter-based marketing agency was born out of a desire to mutually share our skillsets and make a difference in growing businesses. Guided by our philosophy of starting small and building to a Bigwave, we recognised an opportunity to bring innovation to the Leisure sector. As a result, we became the first national creative growth partner for the UK leisure industry and are now leading the way in this field. With over 200 clients across diverse sectors such as biotech, manufacturing, food & beverage, culture, education, and finance, we continue to expand our reach.

We have increased our client’s website traffic from search engines by an average of 226.7% which has resulted in a lift in conversions, leads and sales by an average of 69.3%, for a range of clients in both, charity, B2B and the consumer sector.

For some clients this was paired with a PPC and Content Marketing strategy which has increased their lead/traffic volume even further… this all started with a discovery call.

1. Research & Plan

The fist thing we need to do is ensure we have everything we need to do the best job we can do. A big part of this is having the analytics, ensuring the website has the right capabilities and is in good technical “shape” and more importantly, understand your business, your market, setting accurate timelines and the measures for success.

2. Optimise

The second step of the SEO service we is ensuring all existing content on the website is assessed and optimised. Wheather this means applying advanced copywriting techniques, ensuring there is enough content for search engines to understand the page and give us a relevancy boost or just ensuring the content is accessible and there are no “holes in the boat” that could lead to loss of authority or a bad user experience.

3. Build

Completing the first two steps of the SEO strategy, gives us a good understanding of the content we need to focus on. During the Build process we discover what your competitors are doing and where your deficiencies are in terms of content and authority in comparison.

4. Promote

There is no point in having a great product and creating great content if no one will see it and if it doesn’t work for our purposes. Our experience is that the phrase “Build it and they will come” just doesn’t work in today’s, attention deprived environment. Our promotional process ensures we boost your website’s authority that drives the search engine traffic.

5. Maintain & Evaluate

The Maintenance and Evaluation process is less of a step and more of an ongoing objective. This allows us to maintain an agile approach and constantly improve the SEO strategy and the results by constantly evaluating and maintaining what we have built to respond to Google’s 300+ updates, your competitors and market trends. This also ensures we can deliver an SEO service with compounding effects.
