About Blink SEO
What is Blink SEO?
Blink is an eCommerce SEO and PPC agency based in Norwich, UK, trading as Gladstone Street Ltd. The team specialises in Shopify-focused search marketing for direct-to-consumer brands and multi-brand eCommerce operators, with a particular focus on technical SEO, Shopify SEO migrations, and paid search. Sam Wright leads the agency as Managing Director, with James Macnamara as Operations Director, Elodie Partridge as Head of SEO, Lauren Harris as Head of Delivery, and Jess Morgan as Head of PPC.
Where will I work?
The agency is based at Fuel Studios, Pottergate, Norwich, NR2 1DX. The careers page describes a Norwich city-centre office with a breakout space including table tennis, standing desks, showers, and other amenities. Remote working is supported within the UK alongside the in-office team.
What is the Blink team like?
Blink describes its environment as one focused on personal and professional development, with what the team calls "extremely low" staff turnover — keeping institutional knowledge in the business. The agency is a committed member of The 5% Club (a UK pledge to invest in apprentices and graduates) and a regular donor to charities worldwide. Services are delivered in close collaboration with clients via structured discovery, proposal, onboarding, roadmap, kick-off and delivery stages, with weekly emails covering completed work, in-progress items, and upcoming communication.
Work-Life Balance
Blink operates a 32-hour 4-day work week, with the team off every Friday. The agency's 2022 about page captured this directly: "Our 4-day week schedule means efficiency is essential to the way we work." Rather than compressing five days into four, Blink redesigned its processes to maximize focus and minimize waste. Twenty-five days of paid holiday including UK public holidays are provided. The agency's communication cadence is built to keep ad-hoc calls to a minimum (typically 1–4 client calls per month), giving the team protected blocks of uninterrupted work.
