When people ask me what I do, I often say, “I help businesses get found online before their competitors even know what’s happened.”
My name’s Ryan Walsh, and I run Walsh & Partners, a leading SEO agency based right here in Cardiff, South Wales. We don’t just “do SEO” — we make our clients impossible to ignore.
Over the last 14 years, I’ve worked with businesses across dozens of industries, from local Cardiff startups to established UK brands. Along the way, I’ve built a team that’s obsessed with results. And I mean obsessed — the kind of people who get excited about search engine algorithms the way some folks get excited about football finals.
I’ve got a deep fascination with AI (and yes, a healthy interest in aliens — because who doesn’t love the idea we’re not alone?), plus a soft spot for high-performance cars. In a strange way, all three of these passions connect. AI is about speed and precision. Aliens are about exploring the unknown. And supercars? They’re about engineering perfection. That’s exactly how I see SEO — a blend of speed, exploration, and meticulous engineering to get unbeatable results.
Why Walsh & Partners is One of the Best SEO Agencies in Cardiff
We’re not just claiming that for fun. We’ve earned it, client by client, campaign by campaign.
Here’s why we stand out:
1. Local Roots, National Reach
We know Cardiff inside out — the markets, the competition, and how people here search for products and services. That local knowledge, combined with national and international SEO expertise, means we create strategies that dominate both locally and beyond.
2. 14 Years of Relentless Learning
I’ve been in SEO since the days when keyword stuffing was a thing (don’t do it now — please). I’ve seen every major Google update, survived them all, and learned exactly how to keep clients’ rankings strong through each change.
3. We Play the Long Game
SEO isn’t about quick wins that disappear overnight. We focus on building sustainable, long-term authority for your brand — so when Google changes the rules (again), you’re still at the top.
4. We’re Entity-Builders
Google’s AI is looking for more than just keywords — it’s looking for entities. That means brands and people who are recognised as leaders in their field. We make sure you, your business, and your team are cited, mentioned, and visible in all the right places, so Google (and your customers) see you as the authority.
AI Overviews: The New Frontier in SEO
If you’ve noticed Google’s AI Overviews popping up in searches lately, you’re seeing the future of search in action. Some agencies panic about changes like this. We don’t.
We study them, experiment with them, and figure out how to make them work for our clients.
A recent Ahrefs study showed there’s a 0.347 correlation between ranking high in organic results and being featured in AI Overviews. In plain English: if you’re ranking well, you might get featured, but it’s not guaranteed. That’s why we focus on entity building and thought leadership, not just keyword rankings.
We make sure your business sends the right signals to Google’s AI — so when it’s deciding which voices to include, yours is loud and clear.
What Makes Working With Me Different
When you hire Walsh & Partners, you’re not just getting a faceless agency. You get me, Ryan Walsh — a hands-on SEO strategist who’s as comfortable running technical audits as I am brainstorming creative campaigns.
I take the time to understand your business, your audience, and your goals. Then I build a strategy that blends:
Technical SEO – So your site runs like a finely tuned sports car.
Content Marketing – So your brand speaks with authority and earns attention.
Link Building – So your site gains the trust signals Google loves.
Multi-Channel Presence – So your name and your expertise show up everywhere that matters.
And yes, I’ll explain it all in plain English — no jargon, no smoke and mirrors.
A Cardiff Agency with a Different Mindset
We’re not a “churn and burn” operation. We don’t take on hundreds of clients and give them all the same cookie-cutter plan.
At Walsh & Partners, we work with a select number of businesses at any one time. That way, every client gets real attention and a strategy that’s 100% tailored to them.
We’ve helped Cardiff-based companies:
Outrank national competitors for competitive keywords.
Triple their organic traffic in under a year.
Turn AI Overviews into a new lead generation channel.
My Philosophy: Be the Brightest Light
Whether it’s on the semantic web, in the Knowledge Graph, or in your industry as a whole, you need to shine brighter than your competitors. That’s how you get chosen — by Google’s AI, by journalists, and by customers.
It’s the same principle I apply to every project. In SEO, you can’t just “be present” — you have to be memorable.
