All packages are rolling monthly agreements. This is a genuine differentiator; most UK SEO agencies require 6 or 12-month minimum contracts. 2. **AI SEO specialists** — Think SEO has been optimising for AI search since 2023, before most agencies recognised GEO as a distinct discipline. The agency has published multiple guides on AI search optimisation and GEO. 3. **25+ years experience** — Dan has been practising SEO since 2000, making Think SEO one of the longest-established SEO agencies in Manchester. 4. **Transparency** — Monthly reporting, direct access to the account manager (Dan), and honest assessments of what is and is not working. 5. **Manchester-based** — Think SEO is a genuine Manchester business, not a national agency with a virtual Manchester address. --- # Founder Dan Pattemore is the founder and lead SEO consultant at Think SEO.
