Chris Smith – ClickPower™
Chris Smith is an SEO consultant and the founder of ClickPower, a digital marketing agency based in the Midlands that helps businesses increase visibility, improve search performance, and generate sustainable organic growth. With more than fifteen years of experience in web design, technical SEO, and digital strategy, Chris has built a reputation for delivering clear, measurable results for companies across a wide range of industries.
Chris began his career in IT as a computer technician, gaining a deep understanding of systems, security, and troubleshooting. His early work configuring networks and diagnosing systems gave him a strong technical foundation that would later become a major strength in his SEO work. After retraining in web design and digital development, he transitioned into front-end development and creative design, spending more than a decade leading projects at inLIFE, a web design and marketing agency in Burntwood.
During his time at inLIFE, Chris moved from designer to director and later to SEO consultant, developing a strong skill set in search optimisation, analytics, content strategy, and technical site performance. He gained hands on experience across hundreds of projects, helping businesses grow through smart, data driven digital marketing.
In 2022, Chris founded ClickPower to bring a more transparent, results focused approach to SEO for local and national businesses. Since then, ClickPower has grown into a trusted Midlands based agency known for its practical solutions, clear communication, and strong return on investment. Chris works closely with marketing managers, e commerce teams, and business owners who need a dependable partner to handle ongoing site improvements, SEO strategy, and regular reporting.
His work spans technical audits, content optimisation, keyword strategy, site speed improvements, internal linking systems, Google Ads, and analytics configuration. Chris was a SEMrush partner and holds certifications from SEMrush, Google Academy, Google Ads, Google Analytics, and the Google Digital Garage. His background in design and development helps him bridge the gap between optimisation, user experience, and technical implementation.
Chris has helped businesses across retail, professional services, manufacturing, and B2B industries scale their organic traffic and improve lead generation. His case studies include successful projects such as Redwood Products, Three Spires Financial, fire safety companies, landscaping firms, specialist manufacturers, and multiple e commerce brands. His work has driven improvements in visibility, revenue, and measurable search performance month after month.
Outside of his client work, Chris creates SEO content, tutorials, and tools to help business owners understand search in simple terms. He is known for making SEO accessible, avoiding jargon, and focusing on what genuinely moves the needle.
Chris lives in Tamworth and works with companies across Staffordshire, the Midlands, and the wider UK. When he isn’t analysing data or improving websites, he enjoys technology, digital trends, and spending time with his family.
