Chris Simmance, The Agency Coach, speaks with Anthony Barone, the co-founder and managing director of StudioHawk UK, an SEO agency based in London. After overcoming scheduling hurdles, the two finally delve into a revealing conversation about the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of launching and running an SEO agency in one of the world's most competitive markets.
Anthony candidly shares his experience of starting from below zero, moving to the UK with only 18 months of SEO experience, and taking the plunge to start an agency. Despite the initial challenges of facing some of the best SEOs in the world, he and his team have managed to thrive, carving out a niche as dedicated SEO specialists.
As Anthony and Chris navigate the journey of StudioHawk UK, they also touch upon the importance of community and networking within the industry. They discuss the Agency Social Club, a networking initiative started by Anthony, aimed at fostering relationships among agency founders in Shoreditch, the creative heart of London.
