Our Story

Good Work Deserves To Be Found.

Studio Sable was founded by Maxim Stephens after watching skilled tradespeople — friends and family who were genuinely great at what they did — struggle to find enough work simply because they were invisible online.

They weren’t losing to better businesses. They were losing to businesses with better visibility. That felt wrong. So Maxim started helping them rank, and the results spoke for themselves.

Studio Sable grew from that simple idea: quality trades work should be easy to find. We’ve built everything around that — the packages, the guarantee, the process.

FAQ

Common Questions.

Everything you need to know about working with Studio Sable.

We’re based in Gateshead, in the North East of England. We work remotely with trades businesses across the UK and New Zealand — location has never been a barrier to getting great results.
Yes, and deliberately so. Specialising in trades means we understand the market, the competition, and what it actually takes to rank in your area. A generalist agency treats every client the same. We don’t.
If you’re not in the top 3 on Google Maps within 90 days, we keep working at no extra cost until you are. On our Standard and Quarterly SEO packages, you can also request a full refund if you’d prefer. We back our work because we’re confident in it.
Because we put our money where our mouth is. Every Standard and Quarterly SEO client gets a 90 day guarantee — top 3 on Google Maps or we keep working for free. We don’t take on clients we don’t believe we can rank. That keeps us honest.
Absolutely. A lot of our clients combine Local SEO with a new website, since a well-optimised site significantly strengthens your rankings. Everything works better together, and we build it all to integrate seamlessly.
