Overview

Some teams do not need an agency, they need an experienced voice to check decisions before they become expensive mistakes. Our consultants work alongside founders, marketers and developers on the questions that matter most.

In depth

What is SEO consulting?

SEO consulting is an expert advisory service where an experienced SEO specialist assesses your search performance.

Recommends strategy and guides your team or vendors in carrying it out, rather than doing all the hands on work themselves. Consulting suits businesses that have internal marketers, developers or writers but need senior direction, an independent second opinion, help with a specific challenge such as a migration or traffic drop, or training to build SEO skills in house. It focuses on decisions, priorities and knowledge transfer.

Why it matters

Why SEO consulting matters for your team

01

Senior expertise without a full time hire

Hiring an experienced SEO lead is expensive and slow. Consulting gives your team access to senior judgment for strategy and difficult problems, while day to day execution stays with the people who already know your business. You pay for guidance when you need it.

02

An independent perspective

Internal teams and existing agencies can develop blind spots. An outside consultant reviews your situation without attachment to past decisions and gives an honest assessment of what is working and what is not. That clarity helps you decide where to invest next.

03

Build lasting skills in house

Consulting includes explanation and training, so your marketers, writers and developers learn to make good SEO decisions themselves. That knowledge stays with your company after the engagement ends. Your team grows more confident and depends less on outside help for routine decisions.

Every month

What our SEO consulting includes

What you get every month, visible in your dashboard.

Week 1

Strategy and roadmap review

We review your current SEO plan, goals and resources, then recommend changes to priorities, sequencing and focus areas with clear reasoning for each recommendation. You leave with a plan your team can execute.

Week 2

Traffic drop diagnosis

We investigate declines using Search Console, analytics, crawl data and known algorithm update timing, then explain the likely causes and the steps to address them.

Week 3

Team training sessions

Practical workshops for content, development and marketing teams, tailored to your site and tools, covering the SEO decisions each role makes in its everyday work.

Week 4

Advisory calls and work reviews

Scheduled calls to answer questions and review drafts, tickets or vendor proposals before they go live, so problems are caught early while they are still cheap to fix.
