What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Digital advertising and search visibility work define the assignments that clients bring to this Oxford team based in Osney. Long-running collaborations recur throughout the feedback, with several customers describing partnerships stretching across four or five years in both organic search and paid campaigns, during which the agency is said to act as an extension of the in-house marketing function. One thing mentioned again and again is the clarity of reporting, where dashboards and video walkthroughs turn performance data into practical next steps.

Named individuals, among them Sam, Karen, Tom, Dan, Matt and Shane, are singled out for specialist knowledge, responsiveness and a friendly manner. Reviewers often mention the measured, realistic guidance offered alongside ambitious targets, describing advice shaped around specific goals rather than generic recommendations. Improved organic traffic and online visibility, together with stronger paid campaign results, feature prominently among the outcomes reported.

Communication across projects is praised, particularly the willingness to explain each stage to clients who are relatively new to digital marketing. The team also handles work referred by existing customers, which indicates trust built through repeated engagements. Well-researched advice presented in an accessible format and continued support with both organic and paid activity stand out as the qualities most often cited by those who have worked alongside the team.

I've worked with Common Ground for almost four years on both SEO and PPC, and they've been a brilliant partner throughout. The team is friendly, proactive and highly knowledgeable, as well as being committed to driving measurable results - they've felt like an extension of our marketing team. Their reporting is clear, with easy‑to‑follow dashboards and video walkthroughs that highlight insights and recommended actions. We've seen strong, consistent improvements year-on-year, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Common Ground have worked with us on our paid activity for over five years and have been like an extension of the team. Sam and Karen have been instrumental in the delivery and growth of our digital ads – supporting with insights and specialist knowledge.

I’ve worked with the team at Common Ground across two roles and organisations now, initially on SEO and more recently on PPC. They’re extremely diligent, thorough, and genuinely a pleasure to work with - I always look forward to our catch-ups. Most importantly, they’ve had a significant impact on organic performance, helping to increase visibility and establish both organisations as authorities in their sectors. In our current partnership, they’ve also really tightened up our PPC strategy, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with our SEO work. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed working with Common Ground. Sam (and the team) was very responsive, engaged, and tailored the advice and support to our specific needs and goals.

We have really good advice and support, clearly expressed and then carried out with the minimum of fuss. We've found that the team really listen, ask good questions and then use that information in their plans and campaigns - and are super responsive when circumstances change (as they often do). Definitely recommended.

Well-informed, researched, expert advice - delivered in an easy to understand format. Ambitious but also realistic and measured in terms of what is achievable. It is early days with Common Ground but so far so good! SEO can be minefield - Shane definitely makes you feel like you are in safe pairs of hands. Thank you!
