When you need a starting point
Audits and priorities
A fixed-price SEO audit from £950 + VAT, with fixes ranked by impact. It is the usual first step, and it tells us both whether ongoing help is worth it.
Freelance SEO consultant
A freelance SEO consultant who works alongside your team
You get the person doing the work, not an account manager relaying messages to someone junior. I have spent twenty years in agency delivery, and I run SEO the way I would want it run for my own business: find what matters, fix it, and stop reporting on things nobody will act on.
Who this is for
Teams that need senior SEO without an agency retainer
In-house marketing teams, small businesses and agencies who need experienced SEO help for a project or a few days a month.
- You have a marketing team but no SEO specialist.
- An agency retainer has produced reports rather than results.
- You are planning a redesign or migration and cannot afford to lose rankings.
- Your agency has won work that needs technical SEO the bench cannot cover.
What I do
SEO work that ends in changes to the site
When the fixes need doing
Technical SEO implementation
Redirects, canonicals, sitemaps, schema, internal linking, Core Web Vitals and metadata. I can make the changes directly or brief your developer precisely.
When the site is changing
Migrations and redesigns
URL inventory, redirect maps and post-launch checks, so a new site keeps the traffic the old one earned.
When content is not ranking
Content and structure
Keyword research tied to what you actually sell, page briefs, and fixing overlap where several pages compete for the same search.
When AI answers matter
AI search visibility
Making sure ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can read and accurately describe your business, as part of the same work rather than a separate product.
Send me the URL and what is not working. I will tell you where I would start.

Fit
This is for you if
- You want to speak to the person doing the work.
- You care about fixes shipped more than reports produced.
- You want someone who can also design, build and manage the site when needed.
What I do not do
This is not
- Guaranteed rankings or first-page promises.
- Bought links, private blog networks or directory submissions at scale.
- Monthly reports that restate the numbers without saying what to do next.
Questions
Common questions
Why hire a freelance SEO consultant instead of an agency?
You get senior experience on every piece of work, with no account-management layer and no overheads for a team you do not use. The trade-off is capacity: a freelancer suits focused projects and a few days a month, not a large content or link-building programme.
How much does a freelance SEO consultant cost in the UK?
Most UK freelance SEO consultants charge by day rate or fixed project. My SEO audits start from £950 + VAT at a fixed price. Implementation and ongoing support are quoted as fixed pieces of work or a set number of days each month, agreed upfront.
Do you work with agencies on a white label basis?
Yes. I often work alongside agency teams on technical SEO, audits and migrations. I am happy to work under the agency's name with the client, as long as the arrangement is clear to everyone involved.
Can you work with our in-house developer?
Yes, and that is often the best setup. I write fixes as tickets your developer can act on without an SEO translation step, and review them once they are live.
Where are you based?
Clevedon, North Somerset. I work in person across Bristol and North Somerset when it helps, and remotely with teams across the UK.
