Why Should You Work with Me?

Working with me as an SEO consultant means you get a decade of experience working on ranking websites and businesses within search engines. My approach is a comprehensive one and very much to the point. It starts with keyword research and includes SEO audits, on-page optimisations, link-building, and a meticulous understanding of analytics.

In 2024 and beyond it’s a brutally competitive digital marketplace, and if you want your website to show up on the first page of search results, you’ve got to take this stuff seriously… Google has evolved, and it’s no longer good enough to stuff a bunch of keywords into your copy and figure you’re good to go. Search engine algorithms are smarter now, and they’re penalising those who try to take the easy way by using A.I or “black hat” techniques.

On top of that, search engine results have become a helluva lot more competitive. The potential of reaching first-page status (or Results Page Zero) is even more strained when you consider how saturated the internet has become with other businesses and their websites.

By collaborating with me, you can expect not only improved search engine rankings and increased traffic but also optimized site performance to enhance conversions, revenue, and visitor engagement. My expertise will help your business stand out in the crowded online space, driving meaningful and measurable results

My Approach to SEO

Choosing me as your SEO consultant means that you will be working with a professional who is dedicated to a methodical and personalized approach that will improve your website’s visibility and drive natural traffic.

  • Initial Consultation: The first step is a lengthy conversation about where you are now and what you want for the future. Through that discussion, I bridge the information gap between your knowledge and my own. I can start to see where your actual needs lie, comprehend your current situation, and understand what you want to achieve.
  • SEO Audit and Analysis: I meticulously examine all aspects of your webpages. This includes an inspection of your current rankings, technical performance, content, etc. I do this to undertand the “why” for your current search engine rankings. This allows us to properly measure the difference that our optimization is making.
  • Keyword Research and SEO Strategy I use sophisticated tools to complete in-depth keyword research that pinpoints high-impact words for your industry. From there, I develop a comprehensive, custom-tailored SEO strategy designed to hit those keywords effectively.
  • On-Page Optimisation: In this stage I make sure that all the hugely important parts of your website are as optimized as possible. Examples of these parts are meta tags, headings, internal links, and the content. By optimizing these parts, your website or webpage will be as “attractive” to search engines as possible.
  • Content Creation and Enhancement:I can assist with anything involving publishing. This may mean writing “SEO optimised” sales copy for your webpage, or it could mean restructuring your existing pages into a more user-friendly way that search engines love.
  • Link Building: Building links is how I enhance your site’s authority and, in turn, your search engine rankings. My primary strategy is acquiring backlinks, from high-quality businesses and publications.Examples of sites I’ve been mentioned in are Hubspot, Databox, CSQ.com, The Guardian and many more.
  • Monitoring and Reporting: I use analysis tools to keep an eye on how your website is doing, for something might be going wrong, and to keep a handle on figures like organic traffic, search rankings, and conversions. Regular reports keep you in the loop, so you are never uninformed about the current state of your site’s SEO performance or anything else that could affect your business.
  • Ongoing Optimization: SEO is a perpetual process. I make it a point to keep up with the most recent changes to algorithms and trends in the industry. I do this to refine and adjust your strategy and ensure success through continued growth.

This process doesn’t reinvent the wheel. I don’t claim to have proprietary methods that will make you the next Elon Musk. It’s simply a repeatable, proven process that has worked for me and hundreds of clients I’ve worked with over my 10+ years in SEO.
