SQ Digital Celebrates 20 Years In Business

Founded back in 2000, in Lancaster, Lancashire by brothers Vilayte and Husen Essa, the full-service agency is among the first UK SEO agencies to open, and it has consistently provided high-quality digital marketing solutions to small and large businesses in the UK and around Europe.

Speaking of the company’s humble beginnings, CEO and Founder Vilayte Essa said:

“I was just 23 at the time of starting the company, and over the years, the long term working relationships we’ve forged in this fast-paced industry are a testament to us for continually looking ahead and keeping our clients ahead of their competition.

“I am proud that we continue to service several clients that we took on board at the very beginning of our journey. These long-lasting relationships highlight just how much of an impact our digital marketing services have had, and continue to have, on our clients overall business performance.”

In 2016, Kamal Essa joined the team as Managing Director to help accelerate business growth. Kamal brought a wealth of experience from his time working in strategic roles for large Bluechip organisations.

Over the last four years, the company has adopted several new process management and marketing tools to improve efficiency while ensuring that clients continue to receive the highest levels of service and campaign reporting.

The company rebranded from SearchQuest to SQ Digital in 2016 to better represent all of the digital capabilities that the company possessed while also staying true to the origins of the business. The company now offers a full range of digital marketing services including, SEO, PPC, Content Marketing, Social Media and Web Design.

SQ Digital has maintained a spot in the highly sought after Prolific North Top 50 Digital Agencies list for five years running and is one of just 200 Google Premier Partners in the UK. Speaking of the journey, Husen Essa said:

“Despite being in the business for more than 20 years now, I’m still as passionate and enthusiastic about our client’s campaigns as I was back in 2000.

“With the team we currently have in place, along with continued investment in the latest and best marketing tools and technologies, there’s no doubt that exciting times lie ahead for SQ Digital.”
