Distilled, a U.K. based SEO and digital marketing firm, has struck a partnership with SEOmoz in which Distilled will take over the SEO consulting practice. Striking up a formal partnership with SEOmoz, worth an anticipated $1m in the first year, Distilled will be joining SEOmoz in Seattle in its first US based office. The new office will enable Distilled to expand its client base and operate the custom SEO consulting practice formerly run by SEOmoz, whilst enabling SEOmoz to focus all its energy on developing tools and resources for the search engine optimization community.

This partnership is a natural extension of collaboration between the two companies since 2007 and whilst many of the day to day operations of SEOmoz website remain unchanged, it is a move that is bound to be extremely exciting for both companies. Will Critchlow of Distilled says the “the US is a big opportunity for us” and he expects to double their UK business over the next two years.

“Distilled’s partnership with SEOmoz has worked perfectly because of our shared vision of SEO in clients’ boardrooms,” comments Will Critchlow, Co-founder of Distilled. “The opportunity to take over their consulting business as their subscription platform takes off presents us with a fantastic opportunity to expand in the US and we look forward to rapid growth in 2010.”

Giving up $1m worth of clients may seem difficult to stomach for most consulting firms, but SEOmoz, who have been seeking second round funding from investors, have good reason to change its focus - 85% of its latest revenue figures was from the SaaS SEO tools subscription products they offer. The smooth transition of consulting clients from SEOmoz’s books to Distilled is likely boost its valuation as a pure play SEO tools company.

“At SEOmoz, we like to have our cake and eat it, too. We’re thrilled to have Distilled taking over our consulting business and growing its operations here in the US. The partnership with Distilled lets us focus on what we do best--build great SEO software and tools--while continuing to gain the experience and insight that comes from an experienced consulting team working across diverse projects.”
