Freelance SEO Services

Professional SEO services from a consultant with 17+ years of hands-on experience. I have helped 850+ businesses rank higher, drive organic traffic, and turn visitors into revenue. Whether you need a complete SEO overhaul or targeted improvements, I deliver measurable results without the agency markup.

Why Work With an Independent SEO Consultant

Large agencies juggle dozens of clients with junior staff executing cookie-cutter strategies. When you work with me directly, you get senior-level expertise on every aspect of your campaign. No account managers, no handoffs, no diluted attention.

I have personally managed SEO for Fortune 500 companies, fast-growing startups, and local businesses across 40+ industries. This breadth of experience means I can quickly identify what works for your specific situation rather than applying generic playbooks.

Complete Technical SEO Audit

Every engagement starts with a comprehensive technical audit covering 50+ ranking factors. I analyze your site architecture, crawlability, indexation status, Core Web Vitals, mobile usability, and server performance. You receive a prioritized action plan with specific fixes, not vague recommendations.

What the Technical SEO Audit Covers

• Site Speed Analysis: Page load times, Largest Contentful Paint, First Input Delay, and Cumulative Layout Shift measurements with specific optimization recommendations for each metric
• Crawl Efficiency: Robots.txt configuration, XML sitemap health, internal linking structure, crawl budget optimization, and log file analysis
• Indexation Review: Coverage issues, duplicate content problems, canonicalization errors, thin content identification, and index bloat cleanup
• Mobile Optimization: Responsive design issues, touch target sizing, viewport configuration, mobile-first indexing readiness, and AMP considerations
• Security Assessment: HTTPS implementation, mixed content warnings, security header configuration, and vulnerability scanning

Strategic Keyword Research and Mapping

Effective SEO starts with understanding what your potential customers actually search for. I focus on keywords with genuine buyer intent, not vanity metrics. A keyword with 500 monthly searches and high commercial intent often delivers more revenue than one with 50,000 searches and zero buying signal.

My research process combines multiple data sources including Google Search Console historical data, Ahrefs keyword explorer, SEMrush position tracking, and direct competitor gap analysis. I map keywords to specific pages and identify content gaps where you can capture traffic your competitors miss entirely.

Keyword Research Deliverables

• Primary keyword targets for each page with search volume and difficulty scores
• Long-tail keyword clusters for content expansion opportunities
• Competitor keyword gap analysis showing untapped opportunities
• Search intent classification for proper content alignment
• Seasonal trend analysis for content timing optimization

On-Page Optimization That Converts

Rankings mean nothing without conversions. I optimize every element of your pages for both search engines and human readers. The goal is not just traffic but qualified traffic that takes action.

• Title Tags: Compelling, keyword-rich titles that earn clicks from search results while accurately representing page content
• Meta Descriptions: Persuasive summaries that differentiate you from competitors and drive click-through rates
• Header Structure: Logical H1-H6 hierarchy that guides both crawlers and readers through your content
• Internal Linking: Strategic links that distribute authority, guide users to conversion points, and establish topical relevance
• Schema Markup: Structured data implementation for rich snippets, FAQ boxes, review stars, and enhanced SERP presence
• Content Optimization: Keyword placement, entity optimization, and semantic relevance improvements

Ethical Link Building That Lasts

Backlinks remain one of the strongest ranking factors, but quality matters far more than quantity. I build links through legitimate outreach, digital PR, and content partnerships. No private blog networks, no paid links, no tactics that risk penalties or algorithmic devaluation.

My link building focuses on relevance and authority. One link from a respected industry publication delivers more value than hundreds of low-quality directory submissions. I document every link acquired so you maintain full visibility into your backlink profile growth.

Link Building Methods

• Guest posting on authoritative industry publications
• Digital PR campaigns for news coverage and mentions
• Resource page link acquisition through valuable content
• Broken link building and link reclamation
• Strategic partnerships and co-marketing opportunities

Content Strategy and Execution

Content drives organic traffic, but only when executed strategically. I develop comprehensive content calendars based on keyword research, competitive gaps, and your business objectives. Each piece of content targets specific keywords while providing genuine value to readers.

I can work with your existing content team or recommend trusted freelance writers. Either way, I provide detailed briefs covering target keywords, content structure, internal linking requirements, competitive positioning, and optimization guidelines.

Transparent Reporting and Communication

You deserve to know exactly what is happening with your SEO investment. I provide detailed monthly reports covering:

• Keyword ranking movements with historical context and trend analysis
• Organic traffic trends and page-level performance breakdown
• Technical health metrics and Core Web Vitals scores
• Backlink acquisition and profile growth metrics
• Completed tasks and upcoming priorities for the next month
• Revenue and conversion attribution when tracking is configured

Reports are delivered via shared dashboards with real-time data access. No waiting for monthly PDFs when you want to check progress.

Industries and Verticals I Have Served

My SEO experience spans B2B software, eCommerce, professional services, healthcare, finance, education, travel, and local service businesses. This diversity helps me apply proven tactics while avoiding industry-specific pitfalls. I understand the unique challenges of YMYL content requirements, affiliate compliance rules, and heavily regulated industries.

How SEO Engagements Work

1. Discovery Call (Free, 30 Minutes): We discuss your business goals, current SEO status, competitive landscape, and determine if we are a good fit for working together
2. Proposal and Audit: I deliver a detailed proposal with scope, timeline, and investment requirements. Upon approval, I conduct the comprehensive initial audit
3. Strategy Development: Based on audit findings and business goals, I create a prioritized roadmap for the first 90 days with clear milestones
4. Execution and Optimization: I implement technical fixes, optimize content, build links, and continuously refine the approach based on data
5. Monthly Reviews: Regular check-in calls to discuss progress, review metrics, adjust priorities, and plan next steps together

Investment and Engagement Options

SEO is an investment, not an expense. My pricing reflects the senior-level expertise and personalized attention you receive. I offer both project-based engagements for specific needs and retainer arrangements for ongoing optimization.

All prices are in USD. Every engagement begins with a free discovery call so we both understand the scope before any commitment is made.

Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Services

How long until I see SEO results?

Most clients see measurable ranking improvements within 3-4 months, with significant traffic gains by month 6. SEO is a long-term investment that compounds over time. Anyone promising overnight rankings is selling snake oil or using risky tactics.

Do you guarantee specific rankings?

No legitimate SEO professional can guarantee specific rankings because Google controls the algorithm and makes hundreds of changes annually. I guarantee transparent communication, ethical practices, and a proven methodology that has delivered results for hundreds of clients across diverse industries.

Can you work with my existing marketing team?

Absolutely. I regularly collaborate with in-house marketers, content teams, developers, and agencies. I can lead strategy while your team handles execution, provide training and guidance, or manage everything end-to-end depending on your needs.

What makes your approach different from agencies?

You work directly with me, not junior account managers or offshore teams. I bring 17+ years of hands-on experience to every client engagement. My approach is customized to your specific situation rather than templated processes applied universally.
