Search Engine Optimisation Consultant:SEO consultancy direct from the person
doing the work.

Need SEO help? You talk to me, the consultant, not an account manager.

Most SEO ends up filtered through a few layers. You speak to a salesperson, then you're handed to an account manager, and the actual work happens somewhere you never really see.

I do it differently. I'm an SEO consultant, and when you work with me, you work with me. No middle layer, no being passed around, and no jargon designed to keep you in the dark.

§ The Role

Someone who knows your site personally, not a generic report pulled from a template.

Clarity First

What a search engine optimisation consultant actually does

A search engine optimisation consultant (or SEO consultant) helps your website show up when people search for what you do, and just as importantly, explains what's going on in language that actually makes sense.

That covers the technical side of your site, your content, how everything is structured, and the strategy that ties it together. The real difference with a consultant, rather than a big agency, is that you get advice from someone who knows your site personally, not a generic report pulled from a template.

So instead of a list of tasks you don't understand, you get a clear picture of what's working, what isn't, and what to do about it.

How It Differs

SEO consultancy without the agency layers.

When you hire a large agency, a fair chunk of what you pay covers overheads, account managers, and a process built for scale rather than for you. Your site becomes one of many.

SEO consultancy with me is simpler. You get my time, my advice, and a clear plan, without the markup or the middle layer. If you've got a question, you ask me directly. If something changes, I'll tell you, and I'll explain why it matters in plain terms.

It's a smaller, more personal way of working, and for a lot of business owners it's a far better fit.

Direct

You talk to the person doing the work, not an account manager.

No lock-in

No long contracts. You decide how much support you need.

Plain English

Every recommendation explained so you actually understand it.

§ What You Get

What you get working with me

Whether you want me to guide your team or get hands-on with the work myself, the starting point is the same: an SEO strategy built on what needs doing and why.

01 A clear, honest picture of where your site stands right now
02 Advice you can actually understand and act on
03 A prioritised plan, not a 90-page report that gathers dust
04 The same person every time, who already knows your site
05 Someone who picks up the phone and answers your questions
Who I Work With

Business owners who want SEO explained properly.

Service businesses, local operators, and plenty of people who've been burned by an agency that overpromised and then went quiet.

If you want to understand what you're paying for, and you'd rather deal with a person than a portal, we'll get along well.

I work with people who've had enough of jargon, enough of being passed between account managers, and enough of not knowing whether anything is actually happening with their SEO.

§ Consultant vs Agency

You get the senior person, not whoever the agency has spare that week.

Why work with a consultant instead of an agency

Agencies have their place, especially for very large projects with a lot of moving parts. But for most businesses, independent search engine optimisation consultants give you more for your money.

You're paying for expertise and time, not overheads. You get direct access to the person making the decisions about your site, and the advice is tailored to you rather than run through a one-size-fits-all process.

Put simply, you get the senior person, not whoever the agency has spare that week.

§ SEO Consultant FAQs

Questions we hear often

What does an SEO consultant do? ▼

An SEO consultant reviews your website, works out why it is or isn't showing up in search, and gives you a clear plan to improve it. That can cover the technical side, your content, your site structure, and your wider strategy. The main thing is that you get expert advice tailored to your site, explained in a way you can understand.

What's the difference between an SEO consultant and an SEO agency? ▼

With an agency, you usually deal with an account manager while the work happens behind the scenes, and you're one client among many. With a consultant, you work directly with the person doing the thinking. SEO consultancy tends to be more personal, more flexible, and often better value, because you're not paying for layers of overhead.

How much does SEO consultancy cost? ▼

It depends on what you need, whether that's a one-off strategy, ongoing advice, or hands-on work. The best way to find out is a quick chat, where I can understand your situation and give you a clear idea of what's involved before you commit to anything.

Do you do the work, or just advise? ▼

Both, and it's up to you. Some clients want a clear plan they can hand to their own team. Others would rather I handle the work myself. We'll sort out which suits you best, and you're never locked into more than you want.

Can you help if I'm not in Perth? ▼

Yes. I'm an SEO consultant in Perth, but I work with clients right across Australia. Most of the consulting happens by call and email, so your location isn't a barrier.

How long does SEO take to work? ▼

SEO takes time. Search engines need to crawl your site, understand the changes, and build trust before rankings move. Some improvements show fairly quickly, others build over months. I'll always be honest with you about timeframes rather than promising overnight results.
