About SV Dev

We build the digital infrastructure that makes businesses grow.

We started SV Dev because we were tired of agencies that over-promised, under-delivered, and sent monthly PDFs full of irrelevant graphs. We do it differently — fewer clients, deeper work, and results you can actually see.

Our Story

From freelancers to a full-stack agency

SV Dev started in 2019 as a two-person freelance operation — a developer and a designer who kept collaborating on the same client projects. We formalised the partnership after realising that the work was better when the whole team was aligned from day one.

By 2021 we had a full-time SEO team. By 2022, AI and automation services. Today we're a specialist agency of 9 people, working with e-commerce brands, SaaS startups, law firms and restaurants — any business that takes their online presence seriously.

We deliberately stay small. It means every client works with seniors, not juniors. It means we understand your business deeply before we touch a single pixel. And it means when something needs fixing at 11pm, it actually gets fixed.

We don't want to be the biggest agency in London. We want to be the one you actually recommend to a friend.

How We Work

The principles we refuse to compromise on

Honesty about timelines

We'll never promise SEO results in 2 weeks or a website in 3 days to win the contract. We quote realistic timelines and hit them — or we tell you early if something changes.

Seniors on every project

There are no junior handoffs here. The person who scopes your project is the person who builds it. You never get passed down the chain once you've signed.

Revenue over vanity metrics

We don't celebrate a #1 ranking for a keyword nobody searches. We track conversions, revenue, and leads — and we connect those numbers directly to our work.

Clients, not accounts

We cap our client roster deliberately so no one gets neglected. You'll have our number. We'll know your business. This isn't an account manager relationship — it's a partnership.

Full transparency

Every link we build, every keyword we target, every hour we log — you have access to all of it. No proprietary black boxes. If you ever leave us, you own everything we made.

Continuous improvement

We run internal retrospectives every month. We invest in training. We stay ahead of algorithm updates, framework releases, and AI developments so your investment stays current.

Where We Are

Based in London. Working worldwide.

Our studio is in East London. We meet clients locally for coffee, and we meet international clients over video — both work equally well. What doesn't work is 9-to-5 agency culture, so we don't do it.
