ProfileTree

From WikiAlpha

ProfileTree Web Design and Digital Marketing Limited, trading as ProfileTree, is a digital marketing and web design agency established in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 2011. The company is headquartered at the McSweeney Centre, 31 Henry Place, Belfast, BT15 2AY, and employs 30 staff across web development, SEO, content marketing, video production, and AI training.

History and Background

Ciaran Connolly founded ProfileTree in 2011 following a career in digital marketing that took him from Northern Ireland to positions in Kent (England), Dubai (UAE), and Cairo (Egypt). On returning to Belfast, Connolly built ProfileTree initially around content marketing and online brand development. The company expanded progressively into web design and development, SEO, video production, and AI training as those services became central to how businesses build online visibility and generate leads.

Before taking on client work, the ProfileTree team built and scaled its own portfolio of online properties, giving the agency direct, commercially tested experience of the strategies it recommends. That practitioner background has remained a defining characteristic of how ProfileTree works.

By 2026, ProfileTree had grown to a 30-person team and reported over 1,000 completed client projects, a 5-star Google rating from more than 450 reviews, and AI training delivered to over 1,000 businesses through its Future Business Academy platform.

Services

ProfileTree's service portfolio covers six core disciplines.

WordPress web design and development covers business websites, WooCommerce e-commerce platforms, Shopify development, and bespoke web applications.
