About Spec
Profitably Growing Businesses Since 2011
Spec is a data-led PPC, SEO, Meta Ads and GEO agency. Founded in February 2011 and led by Nick Trueman, we help ecommerce and lead-gen brands grow profitably - with no middle management, daily monitoring and a relentless focus on revenue.
Our Ethos
Growth That Actually Pays
Spec was founded in February 2011 with a simple belief: marketing should grow a business profitably, not just look busy. Nearly everything in digital marketing can be measured - so we measure it, and we focus on the metrics that move revenue.
We don't chase vanity rankings, clicks or impressions. We dig into your data, find where your profitable growth is hiding, and build a plan to get it. Then we execute - daily. No middle management means you work directly with the specialists doing the work, and decisions happen fast.
It's why our clients stay with us for over five years on average. We're not a faceless agency; we're an extension of your team, watching your numbers every day and keeping your campaign moving.

Nick Trueman
Director
Started as a PPC exec in 2007, I've been working in this space for nearly 20 years. I realised quickly that focusing too heavily on 'PPC or SEO' itself misses the 'why', which is to acquire customers to grow a business or organisation. With that in mind, I built Spec to quite simply, help businesses profitably grow. I enjoy challenges and the range of diverse businesses we help scale. From education to ecommerce and insurance, businesses throughout the world are growing with us at the helm.
