SEO built into the site, not bolted on after

Most SEO work happens after the site is already live — patching a structure that was never built to rank. I build the technical foundation in from the start, because in most cases, I'm the one who built the site.

Why bolted-on SEO stalls

You can't plugin your way out of bad architecture

Meta tags and an SEO plugin fix the surface. They don't fix a site that loads slowly, has no content structure, or was never built with crawlability in mind. I start there instead.

Technical foundation

Site speed, clean code, and proper markup handled at build level, so there's nothing for Google to trip over.

Keyword & content strategy

Research into what your actual customers search for, then content built to answer it properly, not just mention it.

On-page optimisation

Structure, headings, and internal linking done properly across every page, not just the homepage.

Local & ongoing SEO

Rankings tracked, reported in plain English, and adjusted as search behaviour and your business both change.

SEO that starts after launch is just repair work on a site that was never built for it.
How the work actually happens

From audit to ranking

01

Audit

A full technical and content review — what's holding the site back, ranked by impact.

02

Foundation

Site speed, structure, and on-page fundamentals fixed at the source, not patched with a plugin.

03

Content & keywords

Pages built or rewritten around what people are actually searching for.

04

Monitor & report

Rankings and traffic tracked monthly, in plain English, with next steps rather than just numbers.
