DEFINITION
What does an SEO agency do?
An SEO agency combines technical, content and authority work in one discipline to grow your brand’s organic visibility through search engine optimisation.
Search engine optimisation is not a quick campaign; it is a patient discipline that carries a brand’s story to the right people. Every brand is a fresh challenge — there is no copy-and-paste playbook. As an Istanbul-based SEO agency, we bring technical SEO, content, backlinks and sustainable rankings together in one discipline; the SEO service and consultancy we run with our SEO specialists is built around your brand’s real challenge, not around a package.

FOCUS AREAS
For an experienced SEO specialist, there is no single template. We go deep in four different focus areas, depending on your brand’s intent.
01
Technical SEO
Technical SEO is the invisible but decisive foundation of rankings. We crawl your site from end to end with Google Search Console, Ahrefs and Screaming Frog, and deal one by one with crawling and indexing issues, site speed (Core Web Vitals), URL and architecture, internal linking and structured data (schema.org). The aim is for search engines to move through your site without errors and understand it correctly. Without a well-built technical foundation, content and backlink work falls short of its potential; that is why we start every SEO project with a technical audit.
02
B2B SEO
B2B SEO means managing search visibility as a system on sites with many pages, several product or service lines, or language versions. We set up the site architecture and internal link network, template-level technical rules (titles, canonicals, hreflang, structured data) and the content structure together with your teams. We stop several of your pages from competing with each other for the same search, and assign one right page to each search. The aim of a B2B SEO service is not to fix pages one by one; it is a lasting structure in which every new page is also set up correctly from the start.
03
E-commerce SEO
E-commerce SEO means setting up category, product and filter (facet) pages correctly for both users and search engines. We prioritise product schema, canonical tags, crawling of facet URLs and the category content architecture; we stop similar products from cannibalising each other and thin pages from using up the crawl budget. At Mars Creative, we genuinely offer e-commerce SEO: we work so that your shop’s product and category pages become visible for queries with purchase intent.
04
Istanbul SEO & local SEO
As an Istanbul-based SEO agency, we work closely with businesses that want local visibility. In Istanbul SEO and local SEO, we work on Google Business Profile optimisation, location-based search queries, consistent business details (NAP) and local content. In Istanbul, we can meet in person; otherwise we work online with the same discipline. Instead of exaggerated area claims, we aim for your business to be found in the places it actually serves.
TWO MODELS
SEO service vs SEO consultancy: the difference
Both are legitimate — but their scope differs. Depending on your needs, we offer consultancy where we only set the direction, or a full SEO service that we implement end to end.
CONSULTANCY
SEO consultancy
We build the strategy, the technical audit and the roadmap; your own team does the implementation, with our guidance. For brands with an in-house team that are looking for the right direction.
SERVICE
SEO service
End-to-end work where implementation is ours too, from technical fixes to content production and earning backlinks. For brands that want to hand over the whole workload.
WHO TO WORK WITH
An SEO specialist, or an SEO agency — which one?
Both can grow your business; the right choice depends on the scope of your project and your need for continuity.
FREELANCER
SEO specialist
- When it fits
- Can be a good start for projects with a narrow scope, a single technical or content issue and a limited budget.
- Watch out for
- Depending on one person carries a continuity risk; it is hard for one person to run technical SEO, content and backlinks at the same depth.
TEAM
SEO agency
- When it fits
- For corporate and e-commerce sites where technical work, content and authority need to move together; team depth and established reporting provide continuity.
- Watch out for
- Ask from the start who will run your project and who will prepare the reports; an agency’s size alone is not a sign of quality.
If you are looking for an SEO specialist or SEO consultant, in the first call we make clear who will run your project, how we will report and which tools we will measure with.
SEARCH IN THE AI ERA
Being found in AI assistants too
Search is no longer just Google’s ten blue links. Surfaces such as ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews also mention brands within their answers. As an SEO agency, we set up your content so that it is findable and quotable on these surfaces too — with our GEO and AI SEO service, as an extension of classic technical SEO.

Note: what we mean here is your brand being findable on AI search surfaces. Installing a chatbot or automation on your website is a separate job; we handle that on the AI Solutions side.

SELECTION GUIDE
How to choose the right SEO agency — 5 criteria
When looking for an SEO agency or SEO company, follow these five criteria, not attractive promises. These are exactly the principles we work by.
- 01
Transparent, regular reporting
A written monthly report + a live dashboard; you should be able to see rankings, traffic and conversions clearly, with Google Search Console and Ahrefs data.
- 02
Real tool data
Not guesses and claims; look for a team that makes decisions with data from professional tools such as GSC, GA4, Ahrefs and Screaming Frog.
- 03
No promise of guaranteed rankings
No honest SEO agency can guarantee “you will be number one”. Stay away from companies selling guaranteed rankings.
- 04
A brand-specific strategy
Not a copy-and-paste package; a roadmap built around your brand’s sector and its real challenge.
- 05
White hat & Google guidelines
PBNs and low-quality link networks are a penalty risk in the long run. Choose an agency that works with white-hat methods in line with Google’s guidelines.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions
about SEO
If your question is not answered below, we will reply to you personally within 24 hours.
Ask a question → What does an SEO agency do?
An SEO agency runs technical SEO audits, keyword strategy, content optimisation, backlink acquisition and ongoing reporting together to grow your brand’s organic visibility in search engines. At Mars Creative, we do this not with promises of guaranteed rankings, but with data from real tools such as Google Search Console and Ahrefs, and a strategy specific to your brand.
What is the difference between SEO consultancy and an SEO service?
SEO consultancy means setting up the strategy, audit and roadmap, then guiding your team as they implement it. An SEO service is end-to-end work where we also handle the implementation, from technical fixes to content production and backlink acquisition. Depending on your needs, we can offer consultancy only or a full-scope SEO service.
When do the results of SEO work start to show?
The effect of technical fixes shows within 4–8 weeks; organic growth driven by content shows in 3–6 months. It varies with the state of the brand and the sector — once we have met, we draw up a timeline specific to you.
Which tools do you work with?
Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Semrush and our own dashboard. We make decisions based on data from professional-grade tools, not guesswork.
How is the backlink strategy run?
Organic link acquisition through relationships with high-authority sites in your sector, content collaborations and digital PR. We never touch low-quality link networks — we do not accept the risk of a Google penalty.
How often do you report?
A monthly written strategy report + weekly dashboard updates. Clients can open the live dashboard whenever they like to track traffic, keyword rankings and conversions.
How is SEO set up for my e-commerce site?
In e-commerce SEO, we prioritise the architecture of category, product and filter (facet) pages, product schema, canonical tags and crawl budget. The aim is for your product and category pages to appear for the right queries with purchase intent. We run the technical audit with Screaming Frog and Google Search Console data.
What does a technical SEO audit include?
A technical SEO audit covers crawling and indexing, site speed (Core Web Vitals), URL and architecture, internal linking, structured data (schema.org), canonical and hreflang tags, the XML sitemap and robots.txt. We identify these with Google Search Console, Ahrefs and Screaming Frog data and put them in order of importance.
How does SEO work for local businesses in Istanbul?
For Istanbul-based businesses, local SEO means working on Google Business Profile optimisation, local search queries, location-based content and consistent business details (NAP). In Istanbul, we can meet in person; otherwise we work online with the same discipline.
Do you offer a free SEO analysis?
Yes. In the free SEO analysis, we share in plain language your site’s most important technical issues, the opportunities that can bring results fastest, and the roadmap we would follow in the first 90 days if you work with us. The analysis does not commit you to any service.
