Freelance SEO Services for SMEs

Struggling to rank higher on Google or attract more website visitors?

As a freelance SEO specialist with over 13 years’ experience, I work closely with local, e-commerce, and service businesses to deliver clear, practical SEO solutions that drive real results - without the overhead of a big agency.

Why SEO is Important for Your Business Growth

In today’s digital landscape, ranking well on Google isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s a must-have. Effective SEO drives more qualified visitors to your website, helps you stand out from competitors, and turns casual browsers into loyal customers. But SEO can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re juggling running your business alongside marketing efforts.

That’s where I come in.

As a freelance SEO specialist, I focus on delivering tailored, practical SEO strategies designed specifically for small and medium-sized businesses. I cut through the jargon and complexity to give you clear, actionable guidance that fits your goals and budget – without the overhead and rigid contracts of a big agency.

Working together, you’ll get expert insights, personalised support, and ongoing optimisation to help your website get found, attract more visitors, and grow your business organically.

Freelance SEO Services

Whether you’re looking for quick expert advice, a detailed site audit, or ongoing SEO management, I offer flexible services designed to meet your business goals. Each option provides clear, actionable strategies to help your website perform better in search results and attract more visitors.
