SEO help that actually moves the needle.

Nine years in SEO, three leading teams, and one hard-earned lesson: work that doesn’t connect to business outcomes is just busywork with a nice deck attached.

Every engagement starts with understanding what’s actually happening on your site — not assumptions, not templated playbooks. From there, we agree on what’s worth doing and why.

What I can help with

Pick what fits where you are right now.

Not every engagement needs to be a six-month retainer. Some teams need a sharp audit and a clear path forward. Others need ongoing strategy. Below is an honest breakdown of what I offer — and what each actually involves.
One-time · 1 hour

1:1 Consultation

One hour, one focused topic. Bring a specific question, a problem you’re stuck on, or a decision you need a second opinion on — and we’ll work through it properly. No slides, no fluff. Just a direct conversation with someone who’s been in the weeds on this stuff for nearly a decade.

Good for questions like

Why is my organic traffic dropping?
Should I rebuild my content strategy?
How do I structure my first SEO hire?
What’s actually blocking our growth?
How do I get started with AI search visibility?
Deep dive

SEO Audit

A proper look under the hood — technical health, content gaps, internal linking structure, crawlability, and what’s actually holding rankings back. You get a prioritised list of what to fix first, not a 200-item spreadsheet with equal weight on everything. I’m transparent about what’s critical versus what’s just “nice to have” — and honest when something you thought was a problem isn’t.

Strategic

SEO or Content Strategy

Whether you’re building a content programme from scratch or want to make what you already have work harder — this is about creating a strategy that ties to your product and business goals, not just keyword volume. Topics, intent mapping, competitive positioning, content types. Built to actually be executed, not just presented once and forgotten.

AI search

AI Search / GEO Visibility

This is where I’ve spent a lot of the last two years. If your brand isn’t showing up in ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, or Gemini — or you don’t know if it is — that’s worth looking at now, not later. I work on AI citation auditing, brand visibility across LLM platforms, and practical strategies to improve your presence in AI-generated responses. At SE Ranking, ChatGPT became one of our top traffic channels after scaling these initiatives. I can help you get there too.

Execution

Build an SEO Project

Need an SEO function built from the ground up — or a specific project run end-to-end? This covers scoping, planning, tooling, and execution: keyword research frameworks, site migrations, content programmes, digital PR and backlink acquisition. I’ve built these functions inside companies; I can help you structure and run them properly.

Ongoing

Fractional SEO Lead

You need senior SEO leadership — someone who can own the strategy, work cross-functionally with product and engineering, and actually get things done — but hiring a full-time Head of SEO doesn’t make sense yet. This is an ongoing engagement where I act as your embedded SEO lead: setting priorities, managing execution, reporting to founders or marketing leadership, and building the function properly from the start. Based on my experience leading SEO at SE Ranking with a team of eight, I know what this role looks like when it’s working well — and what commonly goes wrong.

Team building

Hire a Team

Building an SEO team and not sure what roles you actually need, or what good looks like when interviewing candidates? I can help you define the scope, shape the job descriptions, advise on what skills matter for your context, and give an honest read on candidates. I’ve hired and built SEO teams — including creating brand-new roles that didn’t exist before.

Help with AI and Claude

AI tools — especially Claude — have genuinely changed how SEO and content work gets done. I use them daily: for data analysis, building dashboards, automating workflows, generating research outlines, and speeding up audits. If your team wants to adopt AI more effectively without turning into a prompt-chasing mess, I can help you figure out what’s actually worth automating — and how.

Let’s talk about AI workflows
AI search visibility (GEO/AEO)
Getting your brand cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, and Gemini — with a repeatable process, not guesswork.
SEO workflow automation with Claude
Building automations, dashboards, and AI-assisted workflows that actually save time — not just demos that never get used.
AI content strategy
How to use AI in your content production without tanking quality or E-E-A-T. What to automate, what to keep human, how to measure the difference.
Team AI adoption
Helping SEO teams actually integrate AI tools into their day-to-day — not just a one-off training session but real process change.
How I work

Two things I won’t compromise on.

01
Bringing real value

Vanity work — audits that get filed away, recommendations nobody acts on, deliverables that look impressive but don’t change anything — isn’t something I’m interested in. If something won’t move metrics that matter for your business, I’ll tell you. That sometimes means a smaller scope than expected. I’m fine with that.

02
Full transparency

I share what I actually find — even when it’s not what you hoped to hear. If your site has a serious technical problem, I’ll lead with that, not save it for slide 14. If the strategy you’re running has a flaw, we’ll talk about it directly. No sugarcoating, no inflated timelines, no scope that gets added just to make an engagement feel larger.
