Score breakdown

Website Presence

Weight: 20%

82/100

Digital Next’s site appears substantive and professional based on the evidence, with a clear Manchester positioning, contact details, and a broad, detailed service set spanning SEO, PPC, paid social, web development, hosting/cybersecurity, email, consultancy, and AI-related offerings, though the bundle does not include deeper evidence like case studies, team pages, or conversion elements.

Search Visibility

Weight: 20%

58/100

The strongest search-related evidence is that digitalnext.co.uk is an established domain registered in February 2013 with the homepage last updated in February 2025, but no actual organic rankings, traffic, keyword visibility, backlink, or directory visibility metrics were provided, so this should be scored only moderately.

Trust & Credibility

Weight: 20%

64/100

Credibility is supported by verifiable firmographic details in the bundle—Manchester location, founded 2009, team size 51-200, full address/phone/email, and a LinkedIn presence plus a Clutch listing—but there are no verified client reviews or ratings, which limits how strongly trust can be evidenced.

Market Presence

Weight: 15%

68/100

Digital Next shows a decent footprint from its long-running operation since 2009, 51-200 employee range, LinkedIn presence, Clutch listing, and broad B2B/B2C service coverage, but market presence evidence is still incomplete because the bundle does not provide broader media mentions, awards, multiple directory profiles, or measurable share-of-voice data.

Customer Satisfaction

Weight: 10%

18/100

Customer satisfaction is difficult to validate from this evidence because the Clutch profile is unreviewed and no matching reviewed profiles were verified on G2, Trustpilot, Google, Capterra, or BBB, leaving analyzedReviewCount at 0 and no positive or negative review signals.

Pricing

  • Pricing model: Custom-quoted monthly retainer / ongoing campaign management for digital marketing services (SEO, PPC, Paid Social, social media, web and related services), with bespoke scope rather than published packages. Directory evidence also suggests they may price some work on an hourly basis, but the agency’s own site emphasizes tailored strategy engagements and consultations rather than fixed plans.
  • Typical range: $100-$149/hr
  • Billing: Primarily custom quote for ongoing digital marketing engagements; likely retainer-based for recurring campaign work. GoodFirms lists an hourly rate band of $100-$149/hr, but that is a directory listing, not a price published on Digital Next’s own website.

I found no direct published prices, packages, retainers, setup fees, or minimum commitments on Digital Next’s own website at digitalnext.co.uk after checking service and contact-oriented pages. The clearest public pricing signal is third-party directory data: GoodFirms lists Digital Next UK at $100-$149/hr, while Clutch shows both hourly rate and minimum project size as undisclosed. Based on the agency’s own site language around consultations, tailored strategy, audits, and custom reporting, the strongest evidence is that pricing is custom-quoted for ongoing engagements rather than sold as fixed public plans.

Reviews & reputation

Digital Next (digitalnext.co.uk) has a confirmed third-party profile on Clutch, but that Clutch listing is not yet reviewed. I could not verify a matching profile for this specific UK company on G2, Trustpilot, Google, Capterra, or BBB from search results without risking confusion with other companies named "Digital Next" using different domains/countries, so its visible review-platform presence appears limited.
