SEO consulting services for Google search, done personally
Search engines are still where most of your customers look, and most sites leave a lot of organic traffic on the table. I work as your senior SEO consultant month to month: an SEO strategy built on your own Search Console data, technical SEO, content and search intent, and reporting tied to leads and sales. You work with one consultant, with no account managers in between.
Where the clicks actually are
Most of the work in classic search engine optimization is moving pages that already rank into the positions people click in the search results. In my October 2026 study of 15 sites' Search Console data, positions 4 to 10 held 58% of non-branded impressions at the median site, but the top 3 collected the clicks.
Click-through rate by position, non-branded queries (median site)
Search Console data from 15 sites, mostly Bulgarian search, web, all devices, September 26 to October 23, 2026. Full method and open data: Why is your site-wide CTR so low?
The same pages feed AI answers too. In my October 2026 citation study, the result in position 1 was cited in Google's AI Overview 34% of the time and the result in position 11 only 7%. Solid Google rankings are still the base that AI search builds on; the extra layer has its own service.
What monthly SEO consulting covers
Strategy and priorities
An SEO strategy read from your Search Console data rather than a generic keyword list: which queries and pages are worth the effort, and what comes first. Every month starts with what moved, what broke and what to do next.
Technical SEO
Crawling and indexing, redirects and canonicals, Core Web Vitals, JavaScript rendering, structured data, migrations and international setups with hreflang. I do the analysis personally and write specifications your developer can implement directly.
Content and search intent
Which page should answer which query, where pages compete with each other, what to refresh, merge or retire, and briefs for new pages built from what actually ranks for your topics.
On-page and internal linking
Titles, headings and page structure checked against the results for your queries, and internal links that send weight to the pages that earn money instead of the ones that happen to be in the menu.
Local SEO
For businesses with locations: Google Business Profile, location and service pages, reviews and consistent business details across the directories that Google and AI assistants read.
Reporting on outcomes
A monthly written report that leads with leads, calls or sales, then shows visibility, rankings and organic traffic as the supporting detail, with a log of every change made to the site.
SEO consultant or SEO agency?
| Independent SEO consultant | SEO agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | The person you hired, every time | A team, often with an account manager in between |
| Strongest at | Diagnosis, priorities, technical depth, oversight | Producing content and links at volume |
| Fits best | Startups, SaaS and B2B, small teams that can implement, second opinions | Larger budgets with no in-house marketing team |
| Main risk | Limited hours for heavy production work | Junior staff running a template on your account |
The two combine well: a consultant sets the direction and checks the SEO work, while an agency, a freelancer or your own team produces it. A full digital marketing agency adds ads and social media on top, which is overhead if all you need is SEO services.

How SEO consulting works
- You write to me. Your site, your markets, what you sell and what search should do for you. A few sentences is enough; the first SEO consultation happens over email.
- Diagnosis first. Either a full SEO audit or a lighter onboarding review with read-only access to Search Console and analytics. You get the findings in writing before any monthly commitment.
- The monthly cycle. Priorities for the month, technical analysis and specifications, content briefs, review of what your team ships, and a written report at the end of the month.
- No lock-in. A fixed monthly fee, scoped over email, with no long contract. If the numbers stop justifying it, you stop.
Everything runs over email; no calls or meetings are needed. Technical fixes can move numbers within weeks, while competitive rankings usually take 3-6 months to build momentum.
Who I work with
Companies that sell online and get their customers from search, in the USA, the UK, Belgium, Switzerland, Australia and Bulgaria. Sites I work on include Survalyzer (survey software, Switzerland), StarsDesk (luxury hotel booking, USA), SGT Auto Transport (vehicle shipping, USA), Induct For Work (induction software, Australia), Zapiano (online piano courses) and YPI Yachts (superyachts), and I've spent more than ten years on tourism and luxury travel sites.
The work suits SaaS and B2B companies, online stores, international and multilingual sites, and businesses in competitive niches where technical depth decides whether SEO efforts pay off. Small businesses get the same work in smaller doses: see small business SEO.
SEO consulting questions, answered
What does an SEO consultant do month to month?
Starts from your data: what moved in Search Console and analytics, which pages matter, what broke. Then sets priorities, does the technical analysis, writes specifications and briefs, reviews what your team ships and reports on outcomes - leads and sales first.
Should I hire an SEO consultant or an SEO agency?
An agency for content and links at volume on a larger budget; an independent consultant for diagnosis, priorities and oversight when you or your contractors can implement. Startups and small teams usually get more from the consultant.
How long does SEO consulting take to show results?
Technical fixes can move numbers within weeks; competitive rankings usually need 3-6 months to build momentum, longer in hard niches. Page one in 30 days is a red flag.
Do you do technical SEO yourself or only advise?
I do the technical analysis personally and write specifications your developer can implement directly. Where access and scope allow, I implement changes myself.
Do you work with international and multilingual sites?
Yes - clients in the USA, the UK, Belgium, Switzerland, Australia and Bulgaria. Hreflang, per-market content and Search Console per market are a regular part of the work.
How much does SEO consulting cost?
Scoped over email and priced as a fixed monthly fee, depending on site size, markets and how much implementation you need from me. No hourly billing, no long lock-in.
