The business
MEES Compliance is one of our own businesses: energy performance and MEES compliance for landlords. We designed, built and operate it. That is why it is here. Every service we sell was tested on businesses like this one first.
What we built
A compliance website that explains the rules and captures enquiries.
On the live site today the homepage leads with "MEES compliance. Plan your next move." and the search result title reads "MEES Compliance UK | EPC Audits, Exemptions & Upgrade Plans".
Measured, not claimed
We ran the homepage through Google PageSpeed (mobile test) and the VAULT Business Audit on 12 November 2026. These are the numbers as measured on that day. Scores move from test to test, so treat them as a snapshot, not a promise.

Search visibility
We track this site's Google rankings in the UK (English, desktop results) with Semrush Position Tracking across 100 target keywords. Figures below are for 12 August to 12 November 2026, read on 12 November 2026.
| Measure | Result |
|---|---|
| Visibility | 18.14% (up 1.33 points over the quarter) |
| Keywords in the top 3 | 21 of 100 |
| Keywords in the top 10 | 35 of 100 |
| Keywords in the top 20 | 45 of 100 |
| Keywords in the top 100 | 56 of 100 |
| Improved vs declined | 30 improved, 29 declined |
It has the highest visibility in its tracked competitor set, ahead of law firms and national energy organisations (the next is 12.01%), and ranks first for searches including "mees audit", "commercial mees compliance london" and "improve epc rating from d to c".
Only 56 of the 100 tracked keywords rank in the top 100 yet, so there is plenty of room to grow, and searches such as "mees cost cap exemption" and "mees compliance check" lost ground this quarter.
Visibility estimates the share of possible clicks the site wins across the tracked keywords, so 100% would mean first place for every one. It moves daily, so we read it as a trend.
What our own audit told us
We point the same audit at our own work that we point at yours. On this site it flagged these priorities:
- Analytics installed: Without analytics you cannot see where visitors come from or which pages produce enquiries.
- Enquiry form on this page: A short form on key pages removes a click. Every extra step loses some visitors.
- Live chat or assistant: Visitors with a quick question often leave rather than fill in a form. A chat assistant can answer at any hour and capture the enquiry.
We are not hiding them. Fixing them is the next step on this project, and it is exactly the kind of work we do for clients. The most important one across our portfolio is tracking: without analytics you cannot prove which pages and channels bring enquiries, so you cannot invest with confidence.
Business results
Pending verified figures. We will add enquiry volumes, response times and jobs won only when they can be checked against real records. We do not publish estimates as results. Read our editorial policy.
