About us
Not Your AverageSEO Agency.Not Even Close.
We are a small team in Swindon that decided the agency model was broken and built something smaller on purpose. Two practices under one roof, engineering and search, with senior people on every account and no work sold that we cannot defend with data.
Who are The Cubas?
The Cubas is a UK web development and SEO agency based at 28 Hodges Close, Swindon. Registered as The Cubas Limited, company number 16344754. Engineering is led by Ashraful Islam Hridoy, and the client roster is capped so senior people deliver every build and every campaign personally.
Our approach
Evidence First, Always
Every engagement opens with a comprehensive audit covering technical health, content gaps, authority signals and competitive positioning. From there we build a roadmap that is measurable, transparent and tied to business outcomes rather than to dashboard decoration.
Our process follows Google's framework for experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust, which is also what answer engines assess when deciding which sources to quote. Doing that work properly serves both channels at once.
Who we work with
Founders Who Treat Search As An Investment
Our clients are ambitious brands and owners who understand that premium search work compounds. They are selective about who they trust with organic growth, and so are we.
If you want a long term search position that becomes harder for competitors to take every month, that is exactly what we build. If you want a cheap retainer and a monthly PDF, there are plenty of agencies for that and we are not one of them.
How we operate
Six Principles We Do Not Bend
These are not values on a wall. They are the reasons we turn work down.
Audit before opinion
We do not tell you what is wrong until we can show you. Every recommendation traces back to something measurable in your data or your competitors' data.
Senior people, small roster
The strategist who plans your campaign is the one who runs it. That only works if the client list stays short, so it stays short.
Mechanism over promises
We explain how something will work rather than guaranteeing a number we cannot control. Anyone promising a position is either bidding on your brand or guessing.
Honest scope
If your budget cannot support what your market requires, we say so at the first call rather than accepting the work and underdelivering for six months.
Both sides of the problem
Search strategy and engineering under one roof. No arguments between the agency and the developer about whose fault the traffic drop was.
Reporting you can read
Rankings, map positions, AI citations and enquiries. Live, shared, and never a filtered screenshot chosen to flatter a bad month.
Engineering lead
Ashraful Islam Hridoy
Lead Engineer
Ashraful works across backend decisions and frontend detail. He designs typed REST APIs and data models, builds background jobs and authentication flows, then brings those pieces into Next.js and React interfaces that stay usable under real conditions.
The experience that shaped how he works came after launch rather than before it. Investigating a connection leak that only appeared under load. Closing a privilege escalation path found in his own audit. Fixing a race condition that dropped cart updates during rapid clicks. Those taught him to verify how a system behaves, not how it reads in code.

Client Words
Reviews That Describe A Result, Not A Mood
We are not interested in testimonials that say nice things in vague terms. The reviews worth reading are the ones that describe something specific that was not there before.
We reached out to The Cubas for SEO and website optimisation and the results blew us away. Within weeks we were climbing Google rankings, appearing in Google AI search results, and their CRO work meant that traffic actually converted into real enquiries. Professional, transparent, and ahead of the curve.
Before working with them, my website had low visibility, slow indexing, and most keywords were not ranking. They started with a full audit. Within a few months, my website started ranking on the first page for multiple keywords. They helped me rank faster through technical fixes, content optimisation, smart keyword targeting, and quality backlinks.
Saif recommended I use this company for my SEO, and they did not disappoint. The team is professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Definitely happy with the results so far.
I hired The Cubas after noticing our website had completely stalled in organic search. Their team ran a full technical SEO audit, fixed crawlability issues, resolved duplicate content problems, and restructured our internal linking. Within a few months our rankings improved noticeably and we even started appearing in Google AI Overviews for several of our main keywords.
You Are One Audit Away From Knowing Exactly Where You Stand
We will look at your site, your map visibility and the businesses currently outranking you, then tell you what is actually holding you back. No pitch deck, no retainer pressure.
