SEO Success Story — PK Mortgages & Protection Services

• Zero Search Visibility – The website launched with no indexed pages, backlinks, or keyword presence.
• Highly Competitive Industry – Competing with major brokers, aggregators, and UK banks.
• Low Trust Signals – No structured data, schema, or SEO-optimised content to reinforce FCA credibility.
• Limited Organic Lead Flow – Reliance on referrals and social media without a sustainable inbound funnel.
