Search is at the heart
of everything we do

Discover how an eclectic mix of search marketing gurus came together to form a powerhouse agency.

Our story

Chillibyte, based in Horsham, West Sussex, just around the corner from London Gatwick Airport, has grown from a start-up into one of the most highly experienced search marketing agencies in the UK.

Founded in 2013 by Sam Trousdale and Tim Watney, Chillibyte has evolved into a multi-department agency, delivering a comprehensive suite of search marketing services for ambitious brands.

We like to do things a little differently at Chillibyte. Rather than be a jack of all trades and master of none, we specialise in SEO as a core discipline, incorporating ContentPPC services, and Web Development as part of a client’s ongoing campaign with us.

As a small local business, we love the fact we get London service at local rate – and a great friendly team we can meet with to discuss new ideas and strategies.

How we work

From our idyllic HQ in rural West Sussex, a favourite retreat with clients, we work with companies of all sizes. We have helped over 200 companies improve their search visibility, developing local business with a handful of employees through to global enterprises. With a current portfolio of clients from over 50 different industries, Chillibyte are best placed to deliver organic traffic that converts.
From our SEO technicians and content creators to our web developers and PPC experts, we all have one goal – to help you grow your business. We understand that search marketing needs to be harnessed differently for every business and a package approach will bring limited success. At Chillibyte we create a bespoke strategy for each client that utilises the search marketing tools best suited to achieve the results you want.

As an integrated search agency our multi discipline approach enables us to deliver an end result of quantifiable growth for your business through increased leads or customers.

And then there were more

In October 2022, we were proud to be the 4th agency to join the Broadlight Group. Being part of Broadlight allows us to keep doing what we do best, but with a wider network of like-minded colleagues. Broadlight is a team of 60+ marketing specialists and support staff. Bigger is better! Broadlight was recently shortlisted by the UK Company Culture Awards as Best Agency to Work For.

Proud of our achievements

We’ve recently made the B2B Marketing league table – in at number 63 out of 83 agencies. We’re in good company!

Our sister agencies Incite and Generate UK also featured at 57 and 67 respectively.
