Overview

Senior SEO Expertise, On Demand

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.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Consultant or agency — which is better?

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.

How much does an SEO consultant cost?

Day rates for experienced UK SEO consultants range from £500–£1,500. Project audits from £1,500. Ongoing retainers from £1,000/month.

Can you work with our existing agency?

Yes — this is common. I provide independent oversight, strategy direction and quality assurance while your agency handles execution.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No ethical consultant guarantees specific rankings. I guarantee thorough analysis, honest advice and measurable improvement in the metrics that matter.
