Simply put, I understand how difficult it can be to get the marketing efforts of a business off the ground. From growing traffic and organic visibility, to ensuring the technical SEO health of your website is thriving, I integrate with business owners to remove any marketing headaches and implement a strategy that works.

I’m James, I’ve worked in SEO in one way or another for the past ten years. Whether that’s been affiliate marketing, working agency-side for firms across Manchester, or operating on behalf of agencies via white-label services, I have extensive experience across digital marketing as a whole.

From working with small businesses on their local SEO strategies and helping startups to grow, to transforming the way eCommerce sites perform online, I have a straightforward approach to both working with clients and delivering the results they’re looking for.

I am now a leading SEO consultant, and from my Manchester-base I provide digital marketing services to companies across the UK, and even overseas.

The complete audit I provide takes on average between 2-3 days, ranges between 10-25,000 words and is incredibly extensive in terms of the issues that are inevitably uncovered regarding the technical SEO ‘health’ of your website.

If you have had a recent rankings drop or have been hit by a manual Google algorithm penalty, get in touch today to learn more about the valuable information an in-depth technical SEO audit can provide.

Audits are a fantastic initial way to work with an SEO consultant as a means of outlining how SEO consultancy works, and also the issues ‘behind the curtain’ that need to be resolved as a high-priority. Whilst an audit isn’t always necessary, for sites serious about their SEO it is a huge help as it allows me to understand (and outline): 

• Your organic search competition 
• The keywords you should be targeting versus those you currently deem as a priority 
• Competitor data gaps – both backlinks and content 
• Technical SEO quick-wins and anything that could be considered a blocker to your SEO success 

Whilst I don’t fix these issues as part of the audit service, I can work with you via my ongoing SEO consultancy offering to resolve priority tasks and implement long-term strategies based on the data findings. 

When it comes to meetings and seeing clients in person, I would naturally prefer to meet at least in the North West! However, as is the nature of SEO work, I can provide my services remotely to any business in the UK looking to develop the presence of their website. In fact, I even have clients overseas, so working on a site remotely is no problem at all (and ultimately it means lower overheads, and a lower cost for the client). Given the current climate, and, at the time of writing, 99% of all meetings tend to be remote, so that is what I prefer. However, if you require us to meet in person then it’s certainly something we can discuss.

None of my services whether SEO, content, link building, PPC etc are tied into a minimum contract length. Based on the current SEO ‘health’ of your website I’m completely upfront about how long it may take you to see results, however I do not believe in having clients sign into a minimum contract length (as I know that the work speaks for itself).

Additionally, I do offer one-off services both via my SEO consultancy and my dedicated, remote white label agency. This could be something like a one-off technical audit, a competitor analysis, or even just a day of outreach to kickstart link acquisition for your website.

It’s a very typical SEO answer but, naturally, it completely depends on three core factors:

• How much you have to spend on marketing each month
• The current authority of your site in terms of historical work that has been actioned
• What you actually need to prioritise, instead of a set scope of work (all my clients have bespoke strategies and no scope of work or strategy is the same)

For example, let’s say you’ve had a bit of SEO work on your site in the past and it hasn’t really gone anywhere for you. I do a quick visual check of your site and see that content is lacking, your site is a little slow, and it also doesn’t have any quality backlinks. I’d then suggest the following:

• A technical audit to outline areas of development for the site e.g. to improve site speed and overall SEO ‘health’
• A competitor analysis, including a analysis of ‘gaps’ in competitor strategies. This is both from a content and outreach perspective, so I can then use this data to put together a strategy moving forward.

Following the findings from the larger initial analysis pieces, a strategy is then put in place based on your budget and what we mutually deem to be a priority moving forward. In an ideal world, all clients would have the time and budget to focus on everything from link building, content, digital PR, technical SEO and even UX… but it’s often unrealistic to do so within budget and time constraints.

Therefore, these larger initial analysis pieces give me the data and justification to outline exactly what your site needs as part of an ongoing SEO strategy, and to get started.

This is just an example approach. Please get in touch with me on 07393 286 400 to discuss putting a bespoke SEO consultancy strategy together for your site.
