About

SALT.agency is a technical SEO consultancy founded in 2014 by Martin Woods and Reza Moaiandin, who started it at Leeds Beckett University's business centre. It is based in Horsforth, Leeds, with offices in London and in Hingham, Massachusetts, and LinkedIn lists 11 to 50 employees. Its expertise pages cover technical SEO, site migrations, international and enterprise local SEO, content strategy and sector work for SaaS, ecommerce, travel, finance and manufacturing. An AI search optimization service names GEO and AEO and includes LLM visibility monitoring across ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini plus AI Overview and AI Mode tracking. The agency also publishes free SEO tools.

The case study list is the strongest proof. Named clients include Cloudflare, GitLab, JetBrains, TCGplayer and Jewson, with stated traffic or revenue gains, although several pages give no timeframe and some headline figures do not match the body text. Both founders are named with LinkedIn profiles, and Woods reports more than two decades in SEO.

Gaps: no prices are published, and Clutch shows a $10,000 minimum project with no reviews. No G2 profile or Google review count was found. The agency says it received a Queen's Award for Enterprise in international trade in 2022 and has won UK Agency Awards, but neither could be checked against the awarding body's page, so no awards are recorded. The AI search offer has no named results yet.
