SEO ConsultancyExpert SEO advice for businesses that want direction without handing everything to an agency. We audit your site, set the strategy and guide your team, then stay on hand to check the work and answer the hard questions.
An SEO consultant diagnoses what is holding your search visibility back and tells you exactly what to do about it. Unlike a full-service retainer, SEO consultancy is built for businesses that have people to do the work, such as developers, writers or a marketing manager, but need someone experienced to decide what matters most.
Our SEO consultancy is run from our studio at 174 Wilmslow Road in Manchester, and we advise businesses across the UK. The advice comes from people who also do the work every day: technical fixes, content, digital PR and migrations for our own clients.
That matters because consulting advice is only useful if it can be implemented. We write recommendations your developers can build from and your writers can follow, ranked by impact and effort.
A full technical, content and link review, turned into a prioritised plan rather than a list of every possible warning.
Working sessions to agree target keywords, page structure and what to stop doing.
Clear tickets for your developers on crawling, indexing, Core Web Vitals, structured data and redirects.
Keyword research and briefs so your writers produce pages that match what searchers want.
Redirect maps, pre-launch checks and post-launch monitoring for redesigns and platform moves.
Practical SEO training for marketers, writers and developers, using your own site as the example.
Advice on how pages are cited in Google AI Overviews and AI assistants, and what you can influence.
A set number of hours each month to review work, answer questions and adjust priorities.
We learn your goals, team, platform and what has been tried before.
Crawl, Search Console, analytics and competitor review.
A prioritised plan with owners, effort estimates and expected impact.
We walk your team through the plan and turn it into tickets and briefs.
We check implemented work before and after release.
Ongoing support as results come in and priorities change.
You have the people but not the plan. Many businesses already have a developer and someone writing content, but no one sure which of a hundred audit warnings actually matter. Good consultancy cuts that list down to the changes that will move rankings.
You are about to make a big change. Redesigns, new platforms, domain changes and merging sites are where organic traffic is most often lost. Independent SEO advice before launch is much cheaper than recovering rankings afterwards.
Your agency results have stalled. A second opinion can show whether the problem is strategy, execution or something outside SEO altogether, such as the product, pricing or the website itself.
When a full agency makes more sense. If there is no one in-house to implement recommendations, consultancy on its own will not change much. In that case a managed SEO services retainer is usually better value. Consultancy is typically priced by project or by monthly hours; audits sit in the £900 to £2,500 range depending on site size.

An SEO consultant audits your website and search performance, identifies what is limiting your rankings, and gives you a prioritised plan. They then guide and review the work your team does, rather than doing all of it themselves.
Consultancy is priced by project or by monthly hours. Our SEO audits cost £900 to £2,500 depending on the size and complexity of the site, and monthly advisory is quoted on the hours you need. See our UK SEO pricing guide.
A consultancy mainly advises and your team implements. An agency usually does the work for you. We offer both, and many clients start with consultancy and move parts of the work to us later.
