I FIX SH*TTY SEO.

If your site isn’t showing up on Google, there’s usually a reason.

I find it. Fix it. And get you ranking.

I also build the site and write the words, so the fix doesn’t stop at a report you have to hand to someone else.

No buzzwords. No nonsense. One person, not an agency.

Or just tell me what’s broken.

MOST SEO IS… NOT GREAT.

  • Agencies promising page 1
  • Monthly reports that say a lot but mean nothing
  • Blog posts written for robots
  • A developer, an SEO and a copywriter who never speak to each other

Meanwhile your site still isn’t ranking. I’m not into that.

THREE THINGS, ONE PERSON.

WEBSITES

I build and rebuild sites that load fast and are put together properly underneath. WordPress, Squarespace, or hand-built when that suits the job better. The point is a site search engines can read and people can actually use.

SEO

Keyword strategy, technical audits, schema, site architecture, location pages, analytics. I go through a site properly and tell you exactly what’s holding it back, then fix the things that move rankings rather than the things that pad a report.

CONTENT AND COPY

Words written for people and structured for search. Service pages, location pages, and posts that answer the question somebody actually typed, rather than three thousand words about nothing.

HERE’S WHAT I DO INSTEAD.

01

Find what’s broken

Technical issues, weak content, confused structure. I go through your site properly and tell you exactly what’s holding you back.

02

Fix the important stuff

Not the maybe-this-helps stuff. The things that actually move rankings. Prioritised by impact, not by what’s easiest to write up.

03

Make Google understand your site

Clear signals. Strong pages. Proper structure. When search engines understand what you do and who you serve, rankings follow.

SELECTED WORK.

Some of this is under other people’s names, so it sits here without one.

COPY

Nanny placement agency, US

Site copy and service pages, written to match how families actually search for childcare. Client name withheld.

THINGS I DON’T DO.

  • Promise instant rankings
  • Sell mystery packages with unclear deliverables
  • Write three thousand words about nothing and call it content
  • Quote numbers I can’t back up

SEO is mostly systems, structure and good decisions. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to justify their retainer.
