One of Northampton’s longest-running digital agencies has had a refresh. Freetimers Digital, founded back in 1997, has launched a new site at freetimers-digital.co.uk, and it’s worth a look if you’re weighing up who to work with locally for SEO, PPC, or wider digital marketing.
Nearly Three Decades In Northampton
Freetimers has been operating out of Northampton since long before “digital agency” was even a common phrase, and the new site leans into that history rather than hiding it. The agency says it’s worked with well over 500 clients, some relationships running as long as 20 years, which is no small thing in an industry where agencies come and go fairly regularly.
What’s On Offer
The core services haven’t changed much in substance – SEO remains the flagship offering, alongside PPC management, social media marketing, email and SMS marketing, and web development. What has been added is AI Search Marketing, aimed at helping businesses stay visible as more people search through tools like Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity rather than typing keywords into a traditional search box. It’s a sign of where the wider SEO industry is heading, and it’s good to see a Northampton-based agency building it into their offering rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Case Studies Worth A Look
The new site includes a handful of results the agency is happy to put its name to – including work with The Garage Door Centre and Lifting Gear Direct, both cited as examples of significant growth in enquiries and search visibility. Worth checking out if you want a sense of what working with a local agency like this can actually look like in practice, rather than just taking marketing copy at face value.
Based Here, Working Further Afield
While Freetimers is rooted in Northampton, the new site makes clear they’re serving businesses right across Northamptonshire and into neighbouring counties – Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Leicestershire, and beyond. That’s fairly typical for agencies based here; Northampton’s location means a genuinely regional client base is often within easy reach without needing a London postcode.
If you’re a Northampton business thinking about your digital marketing and haven’t looked at what’s changed in this space locally, a new website from an agency that’s been doing this since the late nineties is as good a prompt as any to take stock.
