SEO agency in Dorset
We help Dorset businesses get found in Google and in AI search.
When a Dorset customer searches, you need to be the answer
Local SEO, technical SEO and content built to bring you real enquiries, from an AI-first agency based in Shaftesbury.
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
- 01Local SEO. Google Business Profile, local citations, location pages and review signals so you appear when nearby customers search for what you do.
- 02Technical SEO. Fast, crawlable, well-structured pages. We fix the foundations that quietly hold most Dorset websites back.
- 03AI 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.
- 04Content that ranks. Pages written around what your customers actually search for, mapped to clear commercial intent rather than vanity keywords.
A clear path from invisible to found
- 01Free visibility call. Twenty minutes on where you currently stand in Google and in AI tools. Clear findings, no jargon, no charge.
- 02Local strategy. A plan built around the Dorset terms your customers search and the towns you want to win. Quick wins first.
- 03Implement. We do the work: technical fixes, local pages, structured data and content. You see exactly what changed and why.
- 04Report. Plain-English monthly reports. What moved, what we are doing next, and what it means for enquiries.

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.
Dorset SEO, answered
Do you only work with businesses in Dorset?
No. We are based in Shaftesbury and know the Dorset market well, but we work with clients across the UK. Being local simply means we understand the area, can meet face to face, and know what it takes to rank for Dorset and town-level searches.
How much does SEO cost in Dorset?
It depends on how competitive your sector is and how much ground you need to make up. We offer one-off audits, project work, and monthly retainers. We will always tell you honestly what level of investment is realistic for the results you want before you commit to anything.
How long does SEO take to work?
Local SEO often moves faster than national SEO because the competition is smaller. Many Dorset businesses see movement within a few months. We will not promise page one overnight. Anyone who does is not being straight with you.
What makes you different from other Dorset SEO agencies?
We are AI-first. As well as traditional Google rankings, we optimise so your business is found and cited inside AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. That is where a growing share of customer research now happens, and most local agencies are not set up for it.
Which towns do you cover?
We help businesses across Dorset including Shaftesbury, Sherborne, Gillingham, Blandford Forum, Sturminster Newton, Dorchester, Wimborne, Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth. If you are anywhere in or near Dorset, we can help.
