Ethical SEO Services for Growing Businesses

Over a career spanning more than 20 years, I have helped hundreds of businesses improve their visibility in search, working client-side, agency-side, and as a freelance consultant. My SEO services are designed to give growing businesses access to the same level of strategic and technical expertise normally found inside specialist agencies, without the significant overheads often associated with larger SEO firms.

Most clients work with me on a monthly retainer that combines several of the services below. The balance is shaped around your specific objectives, the issues uncovered during the website audit, and the resources available within your team.

My SEO services can help you:

Fix the technical issues that are holding your site back – from crawling and indexing problems to site performance, structured data, and international SEO setup.
Optimise your existing pages and new content for search – with thorough keyword research, content quality improvements, and on-page best practice applied throughout.
Build long-term visibility through strategic content marketing – with content plans grounded in research, created in collaboration with your team, and aligned with Google’s E-E-A-T principles.
Earn visibility in AI-generated search results – including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, applying the same SEO best practices that AI systems most reward.
Build lasting authority through earned editorial links and citations – with strategic link building, content planning, and outreach support that focuses on quality over volume.
Access experienced SEO support without hiring in-house – with flexible monthly retainers tailored to your specific requirements and budget.

The right mix of services for you will depend on your website’s current authority, your sector, and your goals. If you are based in Brighton or close by, I am happy to meet you in person to discuss your requirements. Alternatively, we can chat over a video call.

You can arrange our initial chat via my contact page.
