SEO ConsultantAn independent search optimization consultant for businesses that need expert SEO direction. Audits, strategy, training and ongoing advice — senior expertise without agency overhead.
Sometimes you do not need an agency — you need an expert. Someone to audit your site, tell you what is actually wrong, prioritise what matters, and guide your in-house team or existing agency.
As an independent search optimization consultant, I work directly with business owners, marketing directors and in-house SEO teams across the UK. No account managers, no juniors learning on your budget.
Engagements range from one-off technical audits to ongoing strategic consultancy. I tell you what I would do if it were my money — because my reputation depends on your results.
If you already have an agency and want a second opinion, or an in-house team that needs senior direction, consultancy is often the highest-ROI option.
Comprehensive crawl-based audits with prioritised, actionable recommendations.
12-month roadmaps aligned to your business goals, resources and competitive landscape.
Independent review of your agency's work — are they delivering what they promise?
Training and ongoing guidance for your internal SEO and content teams.
Diagnosis and recovery plans for algorithmic or manual penalties.
SEO oversight for redesigns, replatforms and domain changes to protect rankings.
Keyword research, content gap analysis and editorial planning.
Board-level SEO reporting that connects organic performance to revenue.
We discuss your goals, current situation and what you need from a consultant.
Deep analysis of your site, competitors and current SEO performance.
Clear presentation of issues, opportunities and priorities — no jargon.
A prioritised action plan your team or agency can execute.
Ongoing advice as recommendations are implemented.
Progress measured against agreed KPIs.
If you have execution capacity in-house, a consultant gives you senior strategy at lower cost. If you need hands-on delivery, an agency is better. Many businesses use both.
Day rates for experienced UK SEO consultants range from £500–£1,500. Project audits from £1,500. Ongoing retainers from £1,000/month.
Yes — this is common. I provide independent oversight, strategy direction and quality assurance while your agency handles execution.
No ethical consultant guarantees specific rankings. I guarantee thorough analysis, honest advice and measurable improvement in the metrics that matter.
