Demand that already exists
You are not persuading a scrolling stranger. You are answering someone who typed the question.
SEO
SEO that puts you in front of people already searching
Search is the one channel where demand already exists. SEO is the work of making sure that when someone types what you sell, your business is one of the answers.
What this service is
SEO is not a single task. It is three jobs running together: making the site technically readable, matching pages to what people actually search, and earning enough authority that search engines are willing to rank you.
I start with the second one. There is no point speeding up a site that has no page targeting the searches your buyers use. So the first deliverable is always a keyword map: which searches matter, what stage of buying they represent, and which page should own each one.
After that, the work is unglamorous and steady — fixing structure, writing or briefing pages, cleaning up indexing problems, tightening internal links, and keeping local listings accurate. It compounds, but it does not compound quickly.
Problems this solves
- Your website exists but does not appear for the terms customers use.
- Traffic arrives on blog posts that never turn into enquiries.
- Competitors outrank you for searches you should own locally.
- Pages are slow, duplicated, or invisible to search engines.
- You publish content with no plan for which search it targets.
Deliverables
What you get
The deliverables below are the standard scope. Anything outside it is quoted separately, in writing, before it starts.
- Technical audit. Crawl, indexing, speed, mobile usability and structured data issues, listed by priority rather than dumped as a raw report.
- Keyword and intent map. Search terms grouped by buying stage, each assigned to a specific page so nothing competes with itself.
- On-page optimisation. Titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal links and copy adjustments across your key pages.
- Content briefs. Outlines your writer (or I) can work from: target search, angle, questions to answer, links to include.
- Local SEO setup. Google Business Profile, categories, service areas, citations and review prompts, where local search matters.
- Monthly reporting. Rankings for tracked terms, organic traffic, and — more importantly — enquiries that came from search.
Benefits
Why it is worth doing
Cost per lead falls over time
Unlike paid media, traffic does not stop when you stop paying. The asset stays.
Trust by position
Ranking well reads as credibility to most buyers, particularly for local services.
Better foundations everywhere
Faster, clearer pages improve your paid campaigns and social traffic too.
Process
How the work runs
SEO follows the same four stages as every other service, just on a longer clock.
01
Discover
Audit the site, review Search Console data, study who currently ranks and why.
02
Plan
Build the keyword map, decide the page structure, and agree the publishing order.
03
Execute
Fix the technical issues, optimise existing pages, add the missing ones, sort out local listings.
04
Optimise
Track movement, refresh pages that stall, expand the clusters that gain traction.
Fit
Who this suits
SEO earns its place when people are already searching for what you sell and you can wait a few months for the return.
Where it is not the answer
- Brand new products nobody is searching for yet — create demand with paid or social first.
- Businesses that need enquiries this month. SEO is the wrong tool for urgency.
- Anyone expecting guaranteed positions. No one controls the ranking algorithm.
If that describes your situation, say so in your first message and I will point you at the channel that fits instead.
FAQ
SEO questions
Expect early technical and on-page gains within weeks, and meaningful ranking movement over three to six months, depending on competition and how much authority your site already has. Anyone promising faster is guessing.
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. I commit to the work and to reporting honestly on what it produces.
I write or brief it, depending on scope. Briefs give your team the structure; full writing is quoted separately per page.
Yes, and the two feed each other. Ads show which search terms convert, which sharpens the SEO plan; SEO reduces reliance on paid clicks over time.
