Welcome

The company is owned and run by myself, Nick Gent. I love the outdoor life and spend most of my free time by a lake fishing or walking in the countryside with my family, dog and three kids.

My post high school education was studying graphic design at art colleges in Surrey and London. After graduation I ventured out into the scary wide world of freelancing in town with various advertising agencies. This was exciting at the time and I had plenty of work but after a few years of doing long hours, commuting and seeing the agency fat cats pulling in all the money I thought I needed to step things up a bit. Around this time the internet was just starting to become a reality and shortly afterwards print design started to decline as more advertising budget was being spent online so I started to learn web design and coding, this was a massive change at the time as I wasn’t very technically minded but I persevered, read all I could find and started to build more and more websites and my coding skills went from strength to strength.

Online marketing was the next obvious step. Google was just starting to become the giant that it is now and I quickly realised that I needed my sites ranking in the search engines so again I read everything I could about pay-per-click advertising and search engine optimisation and tested, tested and tested until I got results. In those early days SEO was much simpler than it is today and there was a lot less competition and I soon had sites ranking on page one for some very big search terms.

Over the years Google has made it much tougher but I like to think myself and my team are at the forefront of what is working in SEO today as we have conquered all the Pandas and Penguins (Google algorithm updates) and we still getting our clients massive amounts of traffic from page one positions today.

Helping start-ups seemed to give me the most customer satisfaction and I love it when someone comes to me with a new idea and we help turn it into a reality, it became clear that I should start up an agency focused on helping local businesses online, so Gent Digital was born.
