About Us
Welcome to The Digital Agency
Our name reflects who we’ve become over the past few years: an agency that specialises solely in search marketing.
Who Are We
Born out of lockdown in early 2020, we first operated under the name Cabana before rebranding to Searchmode in 2023.
We help SMEs across the UK to generate more leads from their websites by implementing SEO strategies tailored to their objectives, audience, and industry.
We primarily work with those in the professional service, travel, and healthcare sectors.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower and develop SMEs using SEO.
We know that hiring an in-house team of SEO specialists isn’t feasible for every business. And, as a marketing manager or business operator, you don’t have the time to do it yourself. That’s why we’re here – to be an extension of your team.
We aim to make sure every client feels supported in their journey, educated about the choices we make, and thoroughly impressed with the results we deliver.

Sam Sheppard is the founder of Searchmode. He leads all campaigns and acts as the main point of contact for our clients.
Sam has an extensive background in SEO, having worked in an award-winning SEO department at one of Manchester’s leading agencies before launching Searchmode in 2020. He specialises in content strategy and technical SEO.
