    HIKE SEO IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE SEO PROCESS WITH THE FIRST IN MARKET TOOL THAT USES AI TO OPTIMIZE YOUR WEBSITE, WITHOUT HAVING TO LOG INTO YOUR CMS – SLASHING SEO TASK TIME BY MORE THAN 50%, SAVING SMALL BUSINESSES 100s OF HOURS OF WORK AND $1000s OF BUDGET.

    Hike SEO, the SEO platform that makes it possible for all small business websites to soar to the top of Google, has launched the Onsite Optimizer. The first in market tool that reduces the time it takes to make SEO changes by more than 50% and simplifies the process with integrated AI.

    This game-changing approach is phase one of Hike’s mission to become the first fully automated SEO suite, allowing customers to set their SEO strategy, define keywords, create content and publish SEO improvements at the click of a button!

    Soft launched to existing customers last month, the Onsite Optimizer has already been used to publish over 7000 SEO improvements across 3000 web pages, saving users hundreds of hours of work.

    Transform Website Performance with Unprecedented Ease and Efficiency
    The Onsite Optimizer is an AI-powered feature that sets a new standard in search engine optimization. The tool empowers users to implement SEO improvements directly within the Hike platform, eliminating the need to log into a separate content management system, a completely unique approach to managing SEO needs.

    Unmatched Innovation in SEO Tools
    “Our Onsite Optimizer is truly a game-changer in the SEO industry,” said Kieran Headley, CTO and Co-founder of Hike. “There is nothing else like it on the market and I am equally as proud of the feature as I am of our in-house development team who built it.”

    The Onsite Optimizer allows users to make real-time SEO changes without ever leaving the Hike platform. This seamless integration means users can instantly action SEO recommendations from Hike (with the help of AI for extra guidance) enhancing their website performance and boosting their search engine rankings.

    Headley continued, “I knew the build would be a challenge due to the lack of similar products to learn from or reverse engineer, but the team were even more motivated by this and exceeded all expectations with what they delivered. We designed this tool to be incredibly easy to use and to save our customers significant amounts of time, allowing them to focus on growing their businesses rather than getting bogged down in the technical details of SEO – and that’s exactly what it does.”

    Efficiency and Ease of Use
    Andy Allen, CEO and Co-founder of Hike, emphasized the user-friendly nature of the new feature: “Our primary goal with the Onsite Optimizer was to simplify the SEO process as much as possible. Whether you’re a seasoned SEO professional or a complete beginner, this tool is intuitive and straightforward. The feedback we’ve received from our customers has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly regarding how much time it saves them.”

    The Onsite Optimizer means Hike users no longer need to juggle multiple platforms to implement SEO recommendations. The Hike platform flags necessary actions users should take to improve their SEO and the Optimizer allows those changes to be actioned directly onto the website pages in real time.

    Positive Customer Feedback
    Early adopters of the Onsite Optimizer have praised its efficiency and ease of use.

    Dale Townsend, Mortgage and Protection Advisor at Finance Advice Centre, has been using Hike for almost two years and called out the impact of the new Onsite Optimizer in a five-star review on Google: “Hike SEO is a game changer. Now with the Onsite Optimizer, they’ve made it even easier for novices like me to make the changes needed to up our SEO game. I’m really starting to see the difference in our rankings.”

    Instant access with no long term commitment
    The Onsite Optimizer is available to all Hike subscribers at no additional cost. To access all the benefits of the Hike SEO platform including free SEO audits, keyword research, blog topic suggestions, AI-driven content creation, SEO reporting, and the Onsite Optimizer, customers can sign up via Hikeseo.co and gain instant access for a monthly fee of just £49/$59.99 for a single website. The subscription is on a rolling monthly contract with no long term tie in.

    About Hike SEO
    Founded in 2018 by experienced SEOs Andrew Allen and Kieran Headley, Hike is an innovative SEO software suite tailored for small businesses, marketers, and those without SEO expertise. Unlike traditional, data-centric SEO tools designed for experts, Hike simplifies SEO by converting complex data into actionable tasks, making it accessible for non-experts.

    Hike’s platform includes features like the ‘Onsite Optimizer,’ which allows users to implement SEO improvements directly within the platform and the ‘Action Engine’ which further breaks down SEO tasks into manageable actions with time estimates and priority levels, supporting a DIY or a ‘done-with-you’ approach. Additionally, Hike offers white-label options for agencies and freelancers enabling them to provide new SEO services and enhance their clients’ Google visibility.

    With over 10,000 customers across the UK, USA, and Europe, Hike is headquartered in Leicestershire, UK, and employs remote workers across multiple time zones and continents.
