Agency History

2010

iSEO was created based on a small SEO department of the iConText performance agency and became part of the iConText Group. From 2004 to 2010, SEO was not a priority in iConText and hardly developed (at least not as rapidly as contextual advertising). But in 2010 everything changed. Alexander Churilov, who had already had some experience in successful managing Internet companies, was put in charge of the iSEO agency.

In 2013, we were ranked 7th in AdIndex’s Best SEO Companies. The agency continued to develop and grow. We reinforced the team with several experienced managers with a background in web development, as well as SEO specialists with expertise in promoting large and complex sites. The development of internal CRM and our own SEO tools was in full swing. All this helped us start working fruitfully with many new clients in a variety of industries.

Our group of companies took first place in the Golden Hundred of Russian Digital ranking and first place in the Ruward ranking of performance agencies. The development vector of iSEO was increasingly shifting towards big business. We worked efficiently with large and complex projects.

2020

The crisis year of 2020 turned out to be tough for the global economy, but very successful for our agency. We revised our workflows and quickly learnt how to work remotely effectively. We changed our approach to hiring new employees and continued to expand the team with seasoned professionals. We won several major tenders and increased our client portfolio with well-known brands. Quantity continued to turn into quality.

2022

This year has been very difficult for everyone. The blocking of Internet resources in the Russian Federation and the suspension of advertising on Google affected paid traffic. We see that organic traffic is the most sustainable and investment in SEO always pays off, so we are going to work further and bring profit to our clients. The launch of the new iSEO website has marked our readiness for a new round in the history of the company. The team, the processes, the projects, the ideas – everything is ready for iSEO to become a leader in the Internet search marketing in Russia.

iSEO PRO

iSEO PRO

iSEO is a resident of Skolkovo.

We are creating an innovative product iSEO Pro – a professional cloud-based SEO automation tool of a new technical level:

  • Website technical audit and error monitoring
  • Keyword research and KPI forecast
  • Monitoring of the competitors and conversions increase

The innovation lies in the deep automation of SEO processes that were previously performed manually by SEO specialists. This provides an opportunity to significantly improve SEO performance and reduce the costs.

Enterprise SEO

Enterprise SEO

We know how to work with big business, including global companies:

  • We localize global SEO projects for international brands.
  • We work with 100+ sites of the same brand. We work with car manufacturers and their dealers. We monitor the development of dealer platforms, the migration of dealers and carry out training sessions for dealers.
  • We monitor the “health” of our clients’ sites. We track technical errors and other indicators that affect indexing and ranking. We know how to prioritize tasks and save invaluable development resources.
  • We monitor the visibility of the sites in the search. We create keyword checklists for reporting to the global team, meanwhile, working with a wide range of queries to maximize traffic to the Russian site.
  • We achieve the required KPIs. We have experience working with a variety of SEO project performance metrics. We know how to build forecasts and achieve planned indicators. We design and produce recommendations and reports in English for global teams.
Web Analytics

Web Analytics

We can work with different systems:

  • Google Data Studio. We use it for online reports and dashboards with operational information. The service allows you to directly collect data from Google Analytics and Google Search Console, as well as visualize almost any data from Google Sheets.
  • Google Analytics. This is the most popular system among our Russian and Western clients. It is multifunctional even in its free version. In conjunction with Search Console, it allows you to analyze the structure of organic traffic from Google.
  • Yandex.Metrica. If the project is focused on traffic from Russia, we recommend using two systems: Yandex.Metrica and Google Analytics. The search queries leading a user from Yandex search engine to the site are only visible in Yandex.Metrica.
  • Adobe Analytics. The system is quite popular among Western clients. Instead of a set of ready-made reports, it offers a flexible interface where you can assemble the desired report in just a few clicks. However, it does not show search queries from either Yandex or Google.
Project Management

Project Management

We can manage and supervise complex projects with many participants and teams:

  • We know how to manage SEO projects and organize effective interaction of all participants in the process in a variety of systems – ClickUp, Bitrix24, Trello, Asana, Jira, YouTrack, Redmine, Pyrus, etc.
  • We have considerable experience in working with the projects where it is necessary to interact with several brands or divisions with their own teams and requiring successful interaction between them, all within one case. We build fruitful communication with all stakeholders – marketing, brand managers, PR department, developers, etc.
  • Our project managers have a deep understanding of SEO, and do not just forward emails from a client to SEO specialists and back. All communication on the project is conducted by the project manager. They also organise all the work on the project within the agency. SEO specialists can step in as needed to advise on complex technical issues.
