Hire a Dedicated SEO Consultant Who Also Builds the Fix

Strategy, technical audits, and the on-page work to back it up, from one SEO consultant who also happens to be a developer. Most SEO consultants stop at the recommendations. I can also build them. Working remotely with clients across the US, UK, UAE, and Australia.

Why It Works

Most SEO Consultants Hand You a To-Do List. I Do the List.

Hire a typical SEO consultant and you get a strategy document, an audit, a list of recommendations, then a handoff to your developer to actually implement it. That handoff is where most SEO plans quietly stall. Your developer doesn't fully understand the SEO reasoning, three weeks pass, priorities shift, and the fix that was supposed to move your rankings sits in a ticket queue.

I skip that handoff entirely. When I tell you your site needs faster Core Web Vitals, better crawlability, or cleaner structured data, I'm not writing a recommendation for someone else to execute weeks later. I'm building it myself, the same week, as part of the same engagement.

That's the whole reason the monthly retainer exists: SEO strategy and the technical execution behind it, owned by one dedicated person instead of split across a consultant, a developer, and the gap between them.

The Honest Answer

How Long Until You Actually See Results?

Anyone who promises you page one in thirty days is selling something. Here's what realistic looks like, and what I tell every client on the first call.

🔧

Weeks 1–4: The Fixes

Technical issues that are actively holding you back, speed, crawlability, broken pages, indexing problems, get addressed in the first month. These often show measurable movement in Search Console within weeks.

🗺️

Months 2–3: The Foundation

Keyword strategy, on-page optimization, content, and structured data compound. Rankings for individual pages start shifting as Google recrawls and re-evaluates your site.

📈

Months 4–6: The Organic Growth

Meaningful, sustained organic traffic usually shows up in the three-to-six-month window. That's how long Google takes to fully trust and reward consistent, correct work. Anyone who says faster is guessing.

You get a plain-language monthly report so you can see what was done, what changed, and what's next, rather than taking my word for it.

Technical SEO

What Technical SEO Actually Fixes

The half of SEO that happens in your codebase, not your content calendar.

Core Web Vitals & Speed

Google measures how fast your pages actually load for real visitors. Bloated themes and stacked plugins are usually the culprit.

🕷️

Crawlability & Indexing

If Googlebot can't efficiently crawl your site's structure, your best content may never get properly indexed at all.

🏗️

Site Architecture

Clean URL structure, logical internal linking, and a sitemap that actually reflects your priorities, not an afterthought.

🏷️

Schema & Structured Data

The markup that helps Google (and increasingly, AI Overviews) understand and directly cite what's on your page.

📱

Mobile Experience

Google indexes mobile-first. A site that merely "works" on mobile isn't the same as one built for it.

🔐

Security & Uptime

A hacked or frequently-down site loses rankings fast, and loses visitor trust even faster.

🧹

Clean, Semantic Code

Hand-written markup that says what it means, instead of div-soup a page builder generated for you.

🔗

Redirect & Migration Health

Broken redirects and botched migrations are one of the most common, and most preventable, ways sites lose rankings overnight.

Sound Familiar?

Does This Sound Like Your Situation?

If even two of these are true, the call is worth having.

😤

"I've paid for SEO content for months, and organic traffic still hasn't moved."

🐌

"My PageSpeed score is in the red and I don't know why, or what to do about it."

📉

"Rankings dropped right after a redesign or migration, and nobody can tell me why."

🤷

"An agency quoted me for 'SEO' and I genuinely can't tell what they'll actually do."

🧩

"I'm juggling a separate developer, SEO consultant, and hosting company who never talk to each other."

😮‍💨

"I just want one person accountable for whether my site actually performs."

Madhurjya, web developer
Who You're Talking To

Hi, I'm Madhurjya.

I've spent the last 5+ years building websites for consultants, agencies, and small businesses across India, the US, UK, and UAE. Along the way, "can you also look at our SEO" became one of the most common requests I got, usually after someone had already spent months on content that wasn't moving the needle.

Somewhere along the way I stopped thinking of "SEO" and "development" as two different jobs. Most of the SEO work that actually moves rankings, speed, structure, crawlability, technical fixes, is development work anyway. I built the retainer around doing both under one roof instead of splitting it across two vendors who rarely talk to each other.

This Is What "Fixed" Actually Looks Like

Real screens, not stock promises.

Performance and traffic analytics

Speed, Measured Honestly

Before and after Core Web Vitals, not vague "we improved performance" claims.

Google search rankings

Built to Get Crawled

Clean architecture and structured data so Google has no excuse to skip your pages.

Analytics dashboard

You'll See the Numbers Move

Search Console and analytics set up properly from month one, not requested three months in.

Behind the Work

Diagnosis First. Code Second.

From a technical audit to a measurable fix.

Planning a technical audit Clean code implementation Mobile performance testing Development workspace
The Actual Offer

One Monthly Retainer. Everything Connected.

Instead of a developer, an SEO consultant, and a maintenance plan who've never spoken, one person owns all three.

🛠️

Ongoing Development

Updates, fixes, and small feature work, handled continuously instead of queued behind a new project scope every time.

📊

Technical Health Monitoring

Monthly checks on Core Web Vitals, crawl errors, broken links, and mobile performance, before they quietly cost you rankings.

🔐

Security & Uptime

Backups, monitoring, and hardening so a hack or outage doesn't undo months of ranking progress overnight.

🏷️

Schema & On-Page Technical SEO

Structured data, metadata, and page structure kept current as your site and Google's expectations both evolve.

📈

Monthly Reporting

A plain-language report on what changed, what moved, and what's next, not a 40-tab spreadsheet nobody reads.

One Point of Contact

Me, directly, for the development and the technical SEO side both, so nothing falls into the gap between two vendors.

Scope gets confirmed on the call based on what your site actually needs.

The Guarantee
🛡️

The Call Is Worth Your Time. Guaranteed.

If you get on the call and walk away without at least one concrete, useful thing you didn't know before, about your site's speed, structure, or why it isn't ranking, I've failed to hold up my end. That's happened maybe twice in five years. I'd rather lose the sale than waste your 30 minutes.

Real Results

What Clients Say

Real feedback after the technical work actually got done.

★★★★★

We'd paid an SEO agency for content for eight months with barely any movement. Madhurjya found the actual problem in one call, our site took nine seconds to load.

Amit S.
Digital Agency Owner, India
★★★★★

Every other SEO consultant we'd used handed us a PDF and disappeared. He actually built the fixes himself, the same week we talked about them.

Priya R.
Brand Consultant, US
★★★★★

Our rankings tanked after a redesign from another agency. He found the broken redirects within the first week of the retainer.

Even If You Don't Hire Me

Freelance Consultant, Agency, or In-House Hire?

Honestly, it depends on the size and shape of the problem.

A Freelance SEO Consultant

Direct access to one specialist, faster decisions, usually more cost-effective than an agency. The best ones, like this retainer, also handle the technical execution, not just the strategy.

An SEO Agency

Makes sense for large-scale, multi-channel campaigns with a real budget for a full team. You'll typically work through an account manager, not the person doing the work.

An In-House Hire

Fits when you need someone embedded full-time long-term. Comes with salary, benefits, and hiring overhead a retainer skips entirely.

For most businesses my size clients work with, a dedicated freelance consultant who can both diagnose and build the fix covers more ground per dollar than any of the alternatives.

Before You Book, Think Through These

If you can answer these, we'll spend the whole call on diagnosis, not basics.

1️⃣

What have you already tried?

Content, an SEO agency, a redesign. Knowing what didn't work tells me as much as knowing what did.

2️⃣

Do you have Search Console access?

Not required for the call, but real data beats guessing every time once we get further in.

3️⃣

Is this a technical question or a content question?

You may not know yet, that's fine. Just come with the symptom, not a pre-decided diagnosis.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you book.

How do I hire an SEO consultant? +
Start with a clear picture of the problem: is it rankings, traffic, or conversions? Then look for someone who can show real technical understanding, not just a list of past clients. Ask how they'd diagnose your specific site before promising anything. Book a short call, come with your actual numbers, and you'll know within thirty minutes whether they can actually help.
Should I hire an SEO company, or a dedicated individual consultant? +
Depends on scale. A company makes sense for large, multi-market campaigns with a real budget for a full team. For most small and mid-sized businesses, a dedicated consultant who owns the whole picture, strategy and execution, moves faster and costs less than a company will.
Why hire an SEO consultant instead of handling it in-house? +
Most in-house teams are stretched across marketing, content, and everything else, SEO becomes the thing that gets deprioritized every sprint. A dedicated consultant makes it their actual job, and brings pattern recognition from having diagnosed the same problems across dozens of other sites.
How much does it cost to hire an SEO consultant or company? +
Across the industry, individual consultants typically run $1,500 to $8,000 a month on retainer, or $75 to $200 an hour for project work. Agencies usually start around $3,000 a month and climb well past $15,000 for larger scopes. Where this retainer lands depends entirely on your site's size and condition, which is exactly what the call is for.
How do I hire a technical SEO specialist specifically? +
Ask for specifics: Core Web Vitals, crawl budget, structured data, log file analysis. Vague answers about "improving your SEO" usually mean content-and-keywords focus, not technical depth. This is precisely the specialty I lead with.
What does an SEO consultant actually do day to day? +
Audits your site's technical health, researches what your market is actually searching for, prioritizes fixes by impact, and then either builds or oversees the implementation, on-page changes, structured data, site speed, content structure. Good ones stay involved past the audit; a document nobody implements doesn't move rankings.
How long does it take to see SEO results? +
Technical fixes, like a speed or crawlability issue, can show measurable movement within weeks. Broader ranking shifts typically take three to six months to fully show up, since Google needs time to recrawl and re-evaluate your site. Anyone promising overnight results isn't being straight with you.
Do I really need to hire someone for SEO, or can I do it myself? +
You can, if you have the time to actually learn it properly and the discipline to keep at it for months before seeing results. Most business owners who try find it's a second full-time job squeezed into evenings, which is usually when they end up looking for someone to hand it to.
Can you do a one-time audit instead of a monthly retainer? +
Yes. A one-time audit and fix makes sense if you just need the current issues resolved. The retainer exists for businesses that want that health actively maintained month over month instead of slowly drifting back to where it started.
What's included in the monthly retainer? +
Ongoing SEO strategy and development work together: technical health monitoring, on-page and structured data work, security and backups, and a plain-language monthly report on what changed and what's next. Full breakdown in the retainer section above.
How do I know if my rankings dropped for a technical reason? +
Common signs: the drop coincided with a redesign, migration, or hosting change; Search Console shows a spike in crawl errors or "excluded" pages; or your PageSpeed score is noticeably worse than competitors in your space. Bring whatever you've noticed to the call.
Do you handle AI Overviews and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)? +
Yes. Clean schema, clear semantic markup, and well-structured content are exactly what helps AI systems like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity cite a page accurately. This is folded into the same technical work, not sold as a separate add-on.
Do you work with clients in the UK and other countries outside India? +
Yes, entirely remotely. Most of my current clients are in the US, UK, UAE, and Australia. Time zones get scheduled around, not treated as a blocker.
Can you hire a dedicated SEO consultant for just my WordPress or WooCommerce site? +
Yes, this pairs especially well with WordPress and WooCommerce sites since I can go directly into the codebase and CMS rather than filing a ticket for someone else to action.
What if I book a call and this isn't the right fit? +
No problem, either way. If I'm not the right person for what your business specifically needs, I'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction rather than trying to sell you something that won't fix your actual problem.
