Problems I solve

Sound familiar?

Most websites aren’t broken. They just never get the steady work that makes them rank and bring in customers.

“It looked fine five years ago. It looks dated now.”

The fixWeak pages rebuilt one section at a time, so the site looks current without a costly relaunch.

“We don’t show up on Google for what we actually do.”

The fixA page for each thing you sell, planned around what customers search for, plus the technical fixes holding them back.

“The blog’s full of AI posts nobody reads.”

The fixFewer, better posts written by a person, and the old ones rewritten or merged so they earn their place.

“We pay someone monthly. Not sure what for.”

The fixA short monthly report from Search Console and a list of exactly what got done.

Services

One plan, the whole website

Hand over the site you have, or start with a new one. Either way it gets the same work every month.

Option one

Website management: leave it with me

I take on your existing site. Month one is the audit and the fixes, then new pages and steady improvements.

Option two

New website: start fresh

A small, quick site planned from keyword research, then looked after every month so it doesn’t go stale.

What’s included →

SEO and technical fixes

A full audit first, then the fixes made: speed, indexing, broken links, structure.

New pages and blog posts

Service pages and guides planned around what your customers search for, written by a person.

Upkeep and updates

Old pages rewritten, internal links kept in order, content refreshed before it goes stale.

“I was looking for someone to go through my website and determine why my pages weren’t ranking with Google. Mike did exactly that and was able to pinpoint the issues and come up with a solution. He even fixed the ones he could before we moved onto the next project.”

— FAQs

Fair questions

Do I have to move my website or change platform?

No. I work on WordPress, Shopify and custom builds as they are. I only suggest a rebuild when the site is holding the work back.

Who owns the website?

On a managed site, you do: your domain, your hosting and your content stay in your name.

How long before it makes a difference?

Fixes show within weeks. Rankings and enquiries usually take a few months. How long SEO takes has real timelines.

What if I want to leave?

There’s no minimum term. It’s rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice. Everything I’ve built or fixed stays on your site.

What does a freelance SEO consultant do?

Grows a website’s traffic and enquiries from search: keyword research, technical fixes, new and rewritten pages, and reporting on what changed. Mine also covers looking after the site month to month.

How much does it cost to hire an SEO consultant?

My monthly plans run from £499 ($649) to £1,199 ($1,549) with no setup fee, and the first look is a free review. See pricing or read what SEO costs in the UK.

Should I hire a freelance SEO consultant or an agency?

An agency gives you a team and an account manager. A freelancer gives you the senior person doing the work, usually for less. For most small and mid-size businesses, one experienced person running the whole programme is the better use of the budget.

Do you work with businesses outside the UK?

Yes. Clients come to me from the US, Europe, Australia and further afield. Many are based in non-English-speaking countries and sell to English-speaking customers, so I handle the English side of the site alongside their own team. Every price has a fixed US dollar figure in brackets, and I can invoice in pounds or dollars.

Is SEO still worth it with AI search?

Yes. Google states there are no extra requirements to appear in AI Overviews beyond normal SEO, and the searches that lead to a purchase still end on a website.
