The main benefit to working with a freelancer is that I’m cheaper than hiring a full service digital marketing agency and because I work for myself, you can be assured work on your website will be completed by a Technical SEO professional and not a recent Graduate or Intern. Your project will also never get pushed down the priority list because the New Business Director needs support with their latest pitch.

Frequently Asked questions
How much does Technical SEO cost?
There is no set answer here as the price I propose is dictated by your business goals and the current condition of the website – both of which have to be examined on a case by case basis with the initial website audit
However, roughly speaking order for me to carry out work that’s of the quality required to generate better long-term exposure, I recommend spending at least £300 per month for localised search campaigns and £500 for national campaigns.
That being said, I can work with almost any budget but it is important for clients to be realistic about what can be achieved with a low spend.
Will you tie me into a contract?
The short answer is no. I operate on a rolling monthly basis but I do ask that you commit to your campaign for at least 3 months. This is because improvements in SEO are not normally instantaneous and it can take a number of weeks for the changes I have made to be crawled and indexed by the search engines. Larger, more complicated campaigns require an initial commitment of 6 months but again, this is not contractual or legally binding.
How important is technical SEO
Simply put, technical SEO is the most important aspect of SEO.
Too often people forget this because it is more likely to be an effective PR campaign or the optimisation of a key landing that will get a page to the top of SERPs, however these practices will only work if the technical foundations of a website are sound. If they’re not, it does not matter how much is spent on other forms of search marketing, a website will not reach its potential.
Like building a house, it won’t matter how well the walls have been painted or how effectively the electrics have been installed if the house’s foundatios aren’t sound.
Will you need access to my website?
Ideally, yes. To provide a swift and comprehensive technical SEO service, I will need access to your website’s CMS.
If you would prefer to not give me your site’s login details, I can provide you or your development team with the necessary details to carry out changes yourself.
What is your on-boarding process?
I begin with an SEO audit for a one-off flat fee which depends on the size and complexity of your website.
Upon completion, I will send the audit to you and present its findings on a call. From, there you can decide if you’d like me to make the changes I have proposed over the course of an agreed time period (typically a minimum of 3 months).
For more stand alone projects such as migrations or new site build support the process is largely dependent on the individual client needs
How long before I see improvements?
With SEO there can be no guarantees that you’ll see improvements within a particular timeframe. The pace of your campaign will depend on the competitiveness of the targeted keywords and the strength of your website’s existing backlink profile.
However the good thing with technical SEO is that most of the best practices aren’t subjective; an issue is either fixed or it isn’t. Meaning that once they are – provided measures have been taken to stop them occurring again – the website is instantly in a better position to take advantage of an effective backlink campaign or content optimisation.
