When a Dorset customer searches, you need to be the answer
Most buying decisions still start with a search. Someone in Shaftesbury, Sherborne or Bournemouth types what they need into Google, or increasingly asks ChatGPT or Gemini, and picks from what comes back. If your business is not there, the enquiry goes to a competitor who is.
Okapi & Co is an SEO agency in Dorset that fixes this at the root. We make your website easy for both Google and AI tools to understand, trust and recommend, so the right local customers find you first.
Everything needed to rank, in one place
Local SEO
Google Business Profile, local citations, location pages and review signals so you appear when nearby customers search for what you do.
Technical SEO
Fast, crawlable, well-structured pages. We fix the foundations that quietly hold most Dorset websites back in search.
AI and GEO visibility
Structured data and entity authority so your business is cited in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, not just the blue links.
Content that ranks
Pages written around what your customers actually search for, mapped to clear commercial intent rather than vanity keywords.
SEO across Dorset
Based in Shaftesbury, we work with businesses right across Dorset and the surrounding area. Wherever you are, we know the local market.
A clear path from invisible to found

Report
Plain-English monthly reports. What moved, what we are doing next, and what it means for enquiries.
Real businesses, real results
The course was excellent, and we came away with an audit report on our website which has given us a roadmap for future improvements. Jim certainly gave us a lot of great information about the role of AI as it relates to our website, and how we should be using it.
Jim recently offered to run a report for our solar company to assist with raising our profile online. The report was very easy to interpret and several of the ideas contained within should be quick and easy to implement as a starting point. Thank you so much, hopefully we can work with you in the future once we have our branding etc worked out.
I recently had an SEO and AEO audit from James and Okapi and Co. The audit was eye opening and gave me a plan to increase my visibility. Highly recommended.
