SEO consulting services

SEO consulting is expert advice for people who will do the work themselves. A consultant reviews your site and market, sets priorities, answers hard questions and checks what your team produces, but does not run the day-to-day tasks. It suits in-house marketers, developers and founders who need direction more than extra hands.

What's included

6 Deliverables

  • Strategy and priorities session

    We go through your goals, site and competitors and agree what to do first, what to leave alone and what success looks like, so your team starts with a clear, realistic plan.

  • Written roadmap

    A step-by-step plan broken into tasks your team can assign, with reasoning for each, so people who are not SEO specialists understand why a job matters before they start. Each task has a short rationale.

  • Recurring advisory calls

    Scheduled calls to review progress, unblock decisions and answer new questions as they come up, such as algorithm changes, tool choices or how to handle a redesign. Notes follow every call.

  • Work reviews

    We check content briefs, key pages, redirect maps and release plans before they go live and give specific feedback, catching expensive mistakes while they are still cheap to fix. Feedback is specific.

  • Team training and playbooks

    Workshops and short guides for writers, developers and marketers covering the parts of SEO they touch, so good practice becomes routine and does not depend on one person. Materials suit mixed experience levels.

  • Second opinion on agencies and tools

    An independent look at proposals, reports or existing vendor work, so you can judge whether what you are paying for is sound, necessary and well executed. We keep it factual and constructive.

How it works

4 Steps

  1. Step 1: Intake call

    We learn about your business, your team’s skills and capacity, and the decisions you are stuck on. We also ask what has been tried already.

  2. Step 2: Assessment

    We review the site, search results and analytics to find where the biggest opportunities and risks sit. Findings come with evidence from your own data.

  3. Step 3: Roadmap and handover

    You receive a prioritised plan and a walkthrough, with training for the people who will carry it out. Nothing is left to interpretation.

  4. Step 4: Ongoing advice

    We stay available for scheduled reviews and questions while your team delivers, and adjust the plan as results come in.

Frequently asked questions

5 Questions

How is consulting different from a full SEO service?

With consulting you keep control of execution. We advise, review and train; your team writes, builds and publishes. A full service means we carry out the tasks as well. Many clients start with consulting and add hands-on help later. The right level depends on your team.

Who is it best suited to?

In-house marketing teams, developers who own the website, founders learning SEO and agencies that need a specialist on a tricky project. It works best when someone on your side has the time to do the work. It can also suit one-off projects such as a redesign.

What do you need from our team?

Access to analytics and Search Console, a named contact who can make decisions, and capacity to carry out agreed tasks. Without internal time to implement, a hands-on service is usually a better fit. We are upfront if the time is not there.

Can you review another agency’s work?

Yes. We can examine reports, audits, links and recommendations from another provider and tell you plainly what is useful, what is weak and what is missing. We keep the review factual and based on your site’s data. We do not nitpick for the sake of it.

Will consulting improve my rankings?

It can help your team make better decisions, but results depend on how well the plan is carried out and on your market. We cannot guarantee rankings, and we will say so if a plan is unlikely to deliver what you want.
