SEO Consulting
Senior SEO guidance for teams that do the work themselves: strategy, reviews, training, and a second opinion on the decisions that carry the most risk.
Where this fits in the funnel
A clear SEO strategy
You get a documented plan with priorities, owners, and measures of success, so the team stops reacting to tips and works toward defined goals.
Fewer costly mistakes
Redesigns, migrations, and major content changes are reviewed before launch, when problems are cheap to fix rather than after traffic has dropped.
A more capable team
Your marketers, writers, and developers learn why recommendations matter and how to apply them, reducing reliance on outside help over time.
What SEO Consulting involves
Not every business needs an agency to run its SEO. Many already have writers, developers, and marketers who can execute. What they lack is someone senior to set direction, check the plan, and answer hard questions when they come up. Should we move to a new platform? Why did traffic fall after the last release? Is this agency's link building safe? Consulting gives you that experience without handing over the whole channel.
Engagements are flexible. Some clients book a strategy project that ends with a documented roadmap. Others keep us on a monthly advisory retainer with regular calls, reviews of briefs and tickets, and quick answers by WhatsApp or email in between. We also run training for marketing, content, and development teams. In every case the advice is specific to your site and data, written down, and honest about uncertainty where it exists.
Deliverables you can point to
SEO strategy document
A written strategy covering target audiences, keyword themes, site structure, content priorities, technical requirements, and authority building, with a phased roadmap.
Advisory calls
Scheduled working sessions to review progress, unblock decisions, and plan next steps, with written notes and action items sent after each call.
On-demand questions
Direct access by WhatsApp or email for day-to-day questions, from a redirect decision to a second opinion on a content brief.
Brief and ticket reviews
We review your content briefs, page drafts, and developer tickets before work starts, catching SEO issues while changes are still easy to make.
Migration and redesign review
Pre-launch checks of site architecture, redirect maps, templates, and staging environments, plus a post-launch review of indexing and rankings.
Vendor and agency assessment
An independent review of work done by your current SEO provider, including link quality, reporting accuracy, and whether activity matches what you pay for.
Team training workshops
Practical sessions for writers, marketers, or developers on topics such as keyword research, on-page basics, technical SEO, and reading Search Console.
Measurement framework
Agreed KPIs, a reporting template, and dashboard setup so your team can track organic performance consistently and explain it to leadership.
How the work runs
Initial conversation
We discuss your goals, team, resources, and the questions you need answered, then recommend a project, a retainer, or training, whichever fits the situation.
Review the evidence
With read access to Search Console, analytics, and your site, we assess current performance, past work, and constraints before offering any opinion.
Set the strategy
We agree on priorities, define what your team will do and in what order, and document it so everyone works from the same plan.
Guide the execution
Your team does the work while we review outputs, answer questions, and adjust the plan as data comes in or business priorities change.
Review and hand back
At agreed intervals we assess results against the KPIs, update the roadmap, and reduce our involvement as your team grows more confident.

SEO Consulting FAQ
What is the difference between consulting and managed SEO?
With managed SEO, we do the work: audits, fixes, content, outreach, and reporting. With consulting, your team executes and we provide direction, review, and expertise. Consulting suits businesses that already have writers and developers but lack senior SEO experience. Some clients start with consulting and add hands-on help for specific tasks where their team is short on capacity.
How much does SEO consulting cost?
Pricing starts at $150 /hour. Pricing is scoped per project through a custom proposal. Strategy projects and training workshops are quoted as fixed scopes. Advisory retainers are based on the expected number of calls, reviews, and on-demand support each month. Tell us about your team and what you need help with, and we will suggest the lightest arrangement that solves the problem.
Can you assess our current agency without them knowing?
Yes. With read-only access to Search Console, analytics, and their reports, we can review what has been done without contacting them. We look at the quality of links built, the accuracy of reporting, technical changes made, and whether activity matches the scope you pay for. You receive a candid written assessment. Sometimes the finding is that they are doing fine.
Do you offer SEO training?
Yes. Workshops are built around your site and tools rather than generic slides. Common topics include keyword research and content briefs for writers, technical SEO for developers, and Search Console and GA4 reporting for marketers. Sessions run remotely, are recorded if you wish, and come with reference notes your team can return to.
What if we need hands-on help later?
That is easy to arrange. Because we already know your site, strategy, and team, moving specific tasks to us, such as a technical cleanup, a batch of content, or a link campaign, takes little ramp-up. You can add project work alongside the advisory retainer or switch to managed SEO. There is no obligation to do either.
