SEO Consulting

SEO Consulting From a Practitioner Who Still Does the Work

Most SEO consulting is one of two disappointments: a strategist who hands you a deck and vanishes, or an agency that sells you a retainer and assigns a junior. I run the third thing. Senior judgment and hands on the actual work, from the same person, accountable for the outcome rather than the deliverable.

Eighteen years, fifty-plus brands, and a body of published work you can check before you call: case studies with real numbers, teardowns of my own failures, and field notes from live client emergencies. SEO consulting should be provable before it is paid for, and mine is.

How I Consult

Three Ways to Work With Me

Matched to what you actually need, not a fixed package.

Fixed-scope engagements

A defined problem with a defined outcome: a full audit, a growth roadmap, a migration plan, a funnel rebuild. Delivered in weeks, priced upfront, no open-ended retainer required.

Ongoing consulting retainer

Monthly senior ownership of your SEO: strategy, priorities, execution or oversight, and the number reviewed every month. For companies that want the direction and the hands in one place.

Advisory and coaching

For teams that execute well but need senior judgment: priority calls, campaign reviews, hiring input, and a sounding board that has seen your problem before at other companies.

Why This Over an Agency

What Independent Consulting Gives You

The structural advantages, stated plainly.

1
The person you hired does the thinking
No account manager layer, no bait-and-switch from the pitch to the delivery. You get the senior brain every session, because there is no junior to hand you to.
2
Cross-industry pattern recognition
Fifty brands worth of what works and what fails, applied to your problem. A single-company in-house hire cannot have seen this range; a busy agency rarely applies it.
3
No conflict of interest
I have no ad spend to inflate, no link inventory to sell, no in-house team to keep billable. The recommendation is the one that helps you, because nothing else pays me.
4
Exit in a month
One month notice, no lock-in. Consulting that has to earn its place every month tends to be consulting that stays worth keeping.
Common Questions

SEO Consulting Questions

Consultant, agency, or in-house, how do I choose?

If you know exactly what to execute and need volume, an agency fits. If you need it owned full-time and can afford it, hire in-house, and I will help you hire well. If you need senior direction, judgment, and accountable execution without either overhead, that is consulting, and that is me.

Do you only advise or actually implement?

Both. For SEO and content I often execute directly; for paid and email I direct your team or vendors and stay accountable. What I never do is deliver a strategy document and disappear.

What does consulting cost?

Fixed engagements are priced by scope; retainers by the level of ownership. One call gives you a number. There is no penalty pricing designed to force you into a retainer you did not want.

Explore specific disciplines: technical SEO, e-commerce SEO, SaaS SEO, and the fixed-scope audit.
