Independent SEO & PPC agency checks

Find out if your SEO agency is actually getting results

Share read-only access to Search Console or Google Ads. A human expert benchmarks your results and sends a written verdict in 48 hours: stay, push back, or switch.

£79 one-off. Money back if the verdict isn't useful.

You pay every month. You can't tell if it's working.

You're not a marketer, and you shouldn't have to become one just to know whether your money is being well spent.

  • "SEO needs time" has no end date

    Three months, six months, a year. The answer never changes, and nobody tells you what normal progress looks like by now.

  • You can't say what you're paying for

    £420 goes out every month. What comes back is a vague email and a PDF you don't fully trust.

  • The report is numbers, not answers

    Impressions, CTR, quality score. None of it tells you whether the phone is ringing more than last year.

  • Firing too early or too late both cost you

    Leave now and you might walk out just before it works. Stay, and that's another retainer gone.

  • The next hire sounds just like the last one

    Every agency promises page one on the sales call. You have no way to tell who will actually deliver.

From "is this normal?" to a decision in 48 hours

  1. 1

    Share read-only access

    Give view-only access to Search Console or Google Ads, plus your monthly spend and start date. We can't change anything in your account.

  2. 2

    Get a human review

    A human expert checks what your agency actually did and compares your results with what's normal for your budget and month.

  3. 3

    Act on a clear verdict

    Within 48 hours you get a written verdict: stay, push back, or switch, with the reasons and the exact questions to ask your agency.

A straight answer, written for owners

A verdict, not another report

Every check ends with one call: stay, push back, or switch. The reasoning sits underneath, in plain English.

Benchmarked against your spend and month

Your numbers are compared with what results usually look like at your budget and stage, so "needs time" finally has a yardstick.

No agency services to sell you

We never sell SEO or ads work, so we gain nothing from telling you to switch. If your agency is on track, we'll say so.

See what was actually done

We check the account itself, not just the agency's summary: what changed, what moved and what didn't.

Questions to put to your agency

If the verdict is push back, you get specific questions and requests to send, so your next call isn't another round of jargon.

Vet your next hire properly

The £29 vetting kit gives you the questions, red flags and proof to ask for before you sign with anyone new.

Built for owners, not marketers

  • Local businesses on a retainer

    Trades, clinics, salons and shops paying £300–£2,000 a month to an SEO or PPC agency or freelancer.

  • Owners months in with little to show

    You've been told to wait, and you want to know if the wait is reasonable before paying another month.

  • Anyone about to switch

    You've decided to leave and don't want to hire the same problem again.

Probably not for you if: You run SEO or ads in-house and just want a software tool.; You want someone to take over your marketing. We only review; we don't do the work..

Why not just ask your agency, or another one?

Your agency grades its own homework. A rival agency's audit is usually a pitch. Agentcheck has nothing to sell you but the verdict.

Questions owners ask

Is £79 worth it on top of what I already pay?

It's a fraction of one month's retainer. If the verdict saves you one wasted month, or stops you firing an agency that's on track, it has paid for itself. If you don't find the verdict useful, we refund you.

Can you change anything in my accounts?

No. You grant view-only access to Search Console or Google Ads, which can't edit pages, campaigns or budgets. We use the data only to write your verdict, and you can remove our access as soon as you have it.

Who actually reviews my account?

A human expert, not an automated score. They read your account data and your agency's reports, then write the verdict themselves.

Won't you just tell me to switch?

We never sell SEO or ads services, so we gain nothing if you leave. If your agency's results are normal for your spend and month, the verdict will say stay.

It's only been a couple of months. Is that too early?

It's often the best time to check. We compare your results with what's normal at your month and budget, so you'll know whether slow progress is expected or a warning sign.

Does it work for PPC, not just SEO?

Yes. SEO is reviewed through Search Console and PPC through Google Ads. If your agency works on another channel, tell us when you sign up and we'll say honestly whether we can help.

What do I need to get started?

Your monthly spend, when the agency started, and view-only access to Search Console or Google Ads. If you don't have access to your own accounts, we'll show you how to request it from your agency.

Know whether to stay, push back, or switch

A neutral expert verdict on your agency in 48 hours, for £79. Money back if it isn't useful.
