Our Founder – Ben Murphy
Ben Murphy has been shaping SEO strategies since 2009. What began as a sales role at a UK digital marketing company quickly evolved into a lifelong pursuit of doing SEO the right way. Within a year, he founded his first agency, determined to deliver more value than the companies operating in Manchester.
With a small team, Ben went on to lead one of the top-ranked SEO agencies in Manchester, UK, driving millions in e-commerce revenue and helping market-leading brands achieve sustainable, long-term growth.
Today, those same clients from 2009 are still with him, a rare level of trust that defines the PunkFox philosophy. For Ben, SEO success has never been about selling lengthy contracts; it’s about delivering consistent, data-backed results and building partnerships that last.

In 2024, Ben secured a PR grant to relocate his family to Perth, driven by the goal of giving his children the best possible start and creating something lasting in Western Australia. By September 2025, he launched PunkFox, bringing his proven UK methodology to a new market ready for specialist SEO.
PunkFox isn’t a startup; it’s the next chapter in a 15-year legacy of results. Founded on the belief that great SEO blends strategy with integrity, the agency now helps Perth businesses maximise organic growth through UX-focused SEO.
For local brands, working with PunkFox means direct access to Ben’s senior-level experience, a transparent approach, and strategies built to endure every algorithm shift.
