Sometimes you don't need a full SEO package — you just need someone to look at your situation, answer your questions, and point you in the right direction. That's where I come in as an SEO consultant for local businesses.
SEO consultancy makes sense when you don't need someone to do everything for you — you just need expert guidance to help you make the right decisions.
This is for local business owners and trades who already have a website, maybe already working with someone on SEO, or handling it yourself — but you're stuck, not getting traction, or just want a second opinion on what's actually worth doing.
Unlike big agencies that want to sell you a £2,000/month package, I offer practical, hourly support. You pay for the time you need, get straight answers in plain English, and walk away knowing exactly what to do next.
Maybe you've got a specific problem you need solving:
You don't need a monthly retainer for this — you just need someone who knows what they're doing to give you a straight answer. That's what consultancy is for.
Your website's been live for months (or years), but you're not showing up in Google, you're not getting calls, and you're not sure what's wrong.
Common issues I see:
I can audit what's going on, tell you exactly what's holding you back, and give you a clear action plan to fix it. No waffle, no upselling — just practical advice.
You've tried a few things — maybe paid for Google Ads, posted on social media, asked a web designer to "do SEO" — but nothing's working and you don't know why.
Here's the truth: Most local businesses struggle with SEO because they're working on the wrong things. They're obsessing over their website when their Google Business Profile is a mess. They're chasing rankings when they have zero reviews.
What I help you understand:
After a consultancy call or audit, you'll have clarity — you'll know what to do, what to ignore, and what to prioritize. No more guessing.
No packages. No pressure. No long-term tie-ins. Just practical help when you need it.
I don't send you generic reports with charts you don't understand. I look at your business, your Google setup, your competition — and tell you exactly what you need to do.
What "hands-on" looks like:
My advice is actionable — not theoretical. You'll walk away knowing what to do, not just what's wrong.
I specialize in helping local businesses get found on Google — particularly Google Maps and local search. That's my area of expertise.
I focus on:
If you're a local business trying to get customers from Google, this is where I can help. If you need national SEO for an e-commerce store, I'll tell you — and point you to someone better suited.
Straightforward, pay-as-you-go support
SEO consultancy is available on an hourly basis for business owners who want clear, practical advice without long-term contracts.
Current rate: £75 per hour
Most clients use this for audits, second opinions, Google Business Profile advice, or to unblock specific issues.
If you're not sure whether consultancy or ongoing support is the right fit, we can figure that out together.
If I think you'd be better off with a package (like Google Business Profile optimization or local SEO for trades), I'll tell you. But only if it makes sense for you, not me.
You get honest, practical advice from someone who's been doing local SEO for years. No waffle, no upselling, no contracts. Just clear guidance that helps you make better decisions and stop wasting time and money on things that don't work.
Here are the most common areas where my consultancy helps local businesses:
Your Google Business Profile is the most important thing for local visibility — and most businesses get it wrong.
I can help you with:
If you want full ongoing optimization, check out my Google Business Profile optimization packages. But if you just need advice on how to fix something yourself, consultancy is perfect.
Not sure what to focus on or how to actually rank for local searches? I can help you build a clear plan.
Strategy advice includes:
After a strategy call, you'll have a clear roadmap of what to do next — prioritized, practical, and actionable.
Your website doesn't need to be perfect — but it does need to support your local SEO, not work against it.
I can advise on:
I won't tell you to rebuild your entire website — I'll tell you what's actually holding you back and what's fine to leave alone.
Already working with an SEO agency or freelancer? Not sure if they're doing a good job? I can review what they're doing and tell you if it's worth the money.
Common questions I answer:
I'll give you an honest opinion — no bias, no sales pitch. If they're doing a good job, I'll tell you. If they're wasting your money, I'll tell you that too.
Not sure what you need? That's fine. Message me and we'll figure it out together. Sometimes a 10-minute chat is all you need to get clarity.
Whether you need a one-off call, a full audit, or just someone to answer a quick question — I'm here to help.
Hourly consultancy available — no contracts, no commitments. Just practical advice when you need it.
No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a friendly conversation to see if I can help.
