A New Era, a New Approach

FirstMotion is a technology enabled B2B search consultancy built from the ground up around the changing landscape of AI search, launched in 2025 by a team who previously built and successfully exited a B2B SEO agency.

AI has changed search, but it's also changed the traditional brand <> agency engagement model. We're building FirstMotion for the new world - AI first, technology enabled, lean & fast.

We're hyper-specialist, working exclusively with established B2B software companies to fill pipelines with leads.

We only work through VC investors, delivering organic growth as a pillar of platform support and value creation.

We're a technology first consultancy, with our own platform, automations and internal AI and SEO tooling.

We're founded by an experienced team who've successfully advised, built & exited B2B businesses.

SEO vs GEO

Is SEO dead?

We don't believe so. It's not a choice between SEO or AI Search. What we do believe is that AI search tools are now part of the B2B buying unit, influencing every buyer journey at some point, and so your search strategy has to evolve.

Built for the AI era

Our founder built & sold a leading B2B SaaS SEO agency in the pre-AI era. Now we're building FirstMotion as a challenger to the traditional SEO agency model.
