Most SEO consultants send you a 40-page audit, charge you monthly for “strategy,” and never touch your site. The audit sits in your email inbox while your rankings stay flat. I work differently – I am a developer who does SEO, which means I audit your site and implement the fixes directly. No PDFs that go nowhere. No strategy calls that produce no changes. Real technical work on your site that moves rankings.
Whether you need a full technical audit, keyword strategy, analytics setup, or ongoing optimization, you work directly with me. No account managers. No junior consultants learning on your account. One person handling your entire SEO workflow from audit to implementation.
Why Most SEO Efforts Fail to Move Traffic
Audits without implementation produce nothing
A comprehensive audit identifying 87 issues is useful only if those issues get fixed. Most consultants stop at the audit. They provide a document, collect their fee, and move to the next client. Meanwhile, your canonical tags are still broken, your Core Web Vitals are still failing, and your structured data is still invalid. None of those issues fix themselves.
I implement every fix I identify. For WordPress sites, I deploy changes directly. For custom platforms, I provide developer-ready specifications. Every issue gets resolved, not just documented.
Content strategy needs a technical foundation
Many consultants jump straight to content creation – blog posts, guest posts, content marketing. But if Google cannot properly crawl and index your site, that content will never rank. If your site fails Core Web Vitals, Google penalizes you regardless of content quality. If your canonical tags point to the wrong URLs, your content competes against itself. I fix the technical foundation first, then build content strategy on top of it.
What Every SEO Engagement Includes
Technical SEO Audit and Implementation
Full crawl analysis covering index coverage, canonical tag validation, redirect chain mapping, broken link detection, structured data testing, Core Web Vitals assessment (LCP, FID, CLS), mobile usability checks, XML sitemap validation, and robots.txt configuration. Every issue found is accompanied by a clear fix that I implement directly on your site. You see before and after results for each fix.
Keyword Strategy and Content Architecture
Intent-based keyword research organized by search stage – informational, commercial, transactional. Content gap analysis identifies topics your competitors rank for that you do not. Internal linking strategy ensures link equity flows to your most important pages. Topic cluster models help Google understand your content hierarchy and topical authority.
Analytics and Reporting Setup
Proper Google Analytics 4 configuration with conversion tracking, custom events, and e-commerce tracking where applicable. Google Search Console setup and verification. Looker Studio dashboards that connect your traffic, rankings, and conversion data in one view. Reports are tied to business outcomes – leads, signups, and revenue – not vanity metrics like pageviews.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Google Business Profile optimization including accurate categories, complete attributes, regular posts, Q&A management, photo optimization, and service area configuration. Local citation building across major directories with consistent NAP data. Review generation strategy and response templates. Location pages designed for Map Pack visibility.
How SEO Projects Work
1. Initial Audit. I crawl your site, analyze your current technical state, review your keyword landscape, and identify every issue holding back your rankings. You receive a prioritized implementation plan.
2. Technical Fixes. I implement the critical fixes directly on your WordPress site. Technical debt is cleared before any content strategy begins. This phase typically takes 1-2 weeks.
3. Content and Keywords. Keyword mapping, content gap analysis, and internal linking restructuring. A content plan aligned with what your customers actually search for, backed by search volume and competition data.
4. Tracking and Reporting. GA4 dashboards, Search Console monitoring, and regular reports showing keyword movements, organic traffic changes, and conversion data. You see what is working and what needs adjustment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an SEO consultant cost?
I offer both one-time audits and ongoing retainers. A comprehensive technical audit with implementation starts at $500. Ongoing SEO retainers range from $800 to $1,500 per month depending on scope. Every engagement starts with a discovery call where I assess your needs and provide a fixed-price quote. See the SEO retainer page for details on monthly options.
How long until I see results?
Technical fixes show measurable impact within 2-4 weeks. Core Web Vitals improvements, crawl fixes, and indexation changes are visible in Search Console almost immediately. Competitive keyword rankings typically take 3-6 months to show significant movement. I provide transparent monthly reporting so you can track the trend.
Do you only do audits or do you implement the fixes too?
Both. I am a developer who specializes in SEO, so I implement technical fixes directly on your site. I do not hand off audits and expect someone else to do the work. For WordPress sites, I deploy changes immediately. For custom platforms, I provide ready-to-use implementation specs.
What makes your approach different from an SEO agency?
When you hire an agency, you pay for account managers, sales teams, and reporting overhead. You may never speak to the person doing your SEO. When you work with me, you talk directly to the developer implementing your strategy. Decisions are faster, communication is clearer, and there is no layer between the strategy and the execution.
