A Founder-Led Agency, Not a Faceless One
Dr IT SEO was built on a simple idea: a local business should work with the person who actually does the work, not a junior passed the account after the sale. Vlad Tabaranu has run his SEO work through Dr IT SEO Services since April 2010 and keeps the SEO agency separate from his earlier Dr IT Services computer-repair background.
The frustration that started it is a common one. Too many businesses pay a larger agency, never speak to the specialist again, and receive reports full of numbers that do not turn into phone calls. Dr IT SEO works the opposite way. Vlad handles the strategy, the Google Business Profile work, the web build, and the reporting himself, so nothing is lost in translation between the person who understands the business and the person doing the work.
Based in Harborne, the agency serves Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, and the wider West Midlands, with remote work for businesses across the UK. The focus is deliberately narrow: local SEO and web design for trades and service businesses, done properly, rather than a long menu of services done thinly.
Vlad Tabaranu, Founder
Vlad Tabaranu has computer repair technician experience from April 2000 through Dr IT Services and SEO specialist experience from April 2010 through Dr IT SEO Services. That combination matters: a website built by someone who also understands search ranks better, and SEO run by someone who understands websites goes deeper than surface-level tweaks.
Every client works with Vlad directly. There is no account-manager layer, no handover to a junior, and no call centre. When a client calls Dr IT SEO, they speak to the person running their campaign. This is the core reason businesses choose a founder-led agency over a high-volume one.

Vlad’s hands-on computer-repair work since April 2000 informs how he approaches search, and every Dr IT SEO campaign – strategy, audits, web fixes, and reporting – is run by him personally.
The person you speak to is the person doing the work.
Strategy, audits, web fixes, reporting, and monthly calls stay with Vlad, so context does not disappear between sales and delivery.
Trust signals
Google Digital Garage Qualification
Vlad completed the Google Digital Garage Online Marketing Fundamentals qualification in 2017, a foundational programme covering search, analytics, and online marketing endorsed by IAB Europe. It sits alongside the hands-on local SEO and web design experience he has built running campaigns directly since 2010.
Search Knowledge Used in Client Work
Dr IT SEO Services uses local knowledge bases, Google documentation maps, entity-oriented search notes, and information-retrieval research when planning client websites. These systems help structure pages, schema, internal links, AI-navigation files, and Google Business Profile work around named entities instead of loose keywords.
Our Code of Ethics
Results appear over weeks to months as profiles, service area pages, and local backlinks become indexed and recognized by search engines. Most clients see measurable gains within 90 days, but Dr IT SEO never promises overnight number-one rankings.
Reports show ranking movement, calls, and enquiries in plain English. No vanity metrics dressed up to look like progress.
Plans run on a rolling monthly basis and the scope is agreed in writing. The relationship is kept because the work is good, not because a contract traps the client.
The work follows Google Search documentation. No shortcuts that risk a penalty and undo months of progress.
Businesses We Work With
Dr IT SEO works with local trades and service businesses that rely on being found nearby: plumbers, electricians, builders, clinics, professional services, and multi-location companies that need to rank in each town they serve. The agency is also an inclusive space, LGBTQ+ friendly and transgender safe, with support available in English and Romanian.
The common thread is owners who want the result without becoming an SEO specialist themselves, and who would rather deal with one accountable person than a rotating team. Book your free audit now to see whether Dr IT SEO is the right fit.
