Senior SEO retainers from £950/mo: built to rank you on Google and get you cited in AI search. Technical SEO, content and digital PR. Plus social, AI agents and hand-coded websites from £490 (was £700). London-led studio. No templates, no lock-ins, no guaranteed-rankings nonsense.
SEO is the foundation. AI and custom web builds are how I ship outcomes in 2026, all connected, all from the same hand.
Crawl audits, schema that validates, internal linking, postcode-level landing pages, GBP, Map Pack, the foundation that makes everything compound.
Custom WhatsApp and web agents handling enquiries, quoting, booking, and dispatch. N8N, OpenAI, Gemini.
Custom sites hand-coded on Next.js + React (Vercel default), Shopify for DTC commerce, WordPress on request. Fast, SEO-ready, Core Web Vitals green from day one.
Topical maps that close ranking gaps. Editorial briefs your writers can follow. Digital PR that survives core updates.
Reporting, lead routing, content pipelines. If a task is repetitive and mechanical, I'll automate it with N8N.
Written SEO diagnostic with a ranked fix list. Two-week turnaround. Often the right starting point.
Replatforms, redesigns, rebrands. I protect rankings through the change, the riskiest work in SEO, done right.
Most agency SEO deliverables end at a recommendations document the client's developer never gets around to implementing. We write the schema, ship the SSR refactor, and merge the internal-link rebuild ourselves. The SEO work that needs code ships in the same sprint the audit flagged it.
Four tiers. Every tier is hand-coded, no Wix, no Elementor, no copy-paste from a template marketplace. Schema, sitemap, Search Console and Analytics configured on every project. 90+ Lighthouse speed target where technically possible. Express turnaround on sites up to 10 pages: 2 to 3 working days for an extra £500, or same-day launch for £1,000, subject to all content and brand assets supplied on day one. Lower than traditional UK agencies, because we don't carry London agency overhead.
Hand-coded 5-page site for founders validating a new business or single-service local operators.
Most common tier for growing SMEs. Full sitemap, services, about, blog shell, custom UI/UX designed directly in code.
Full UI/UX system plus hand-coded Next.js or WordPress build for businesses with multiple service lines.
Shopify / Saleor headless, multi-language hreflang, CRM / CMS / ERP API integrations.
Every client gets the same senior operator from first call to monthly review. Continuity is the product.
Two weeks. Crawl, keyword gap, backlink profile, on-page health. Written report, ranked fix list.
Schema, technical debt, site build or repair, internal linking. The work that makes everything compound.
Close topical gaps. Earn links honestly. Deploy AI agents where they save real hours, not just look clever.
Monthly call. Plain-English report. What moved, what didn't, what's next. Leave any time.
Receipts available on request, happy to show live Search Console on a call.
Built 40+ postcode-level landing pages, cleaned up a messy schema stack, deployed a WhatsApp AI dispatch agent, earned local press across east London recovery services. Live domain linked above, not a stock stat.
Rebuilt an ageing site, added product & review schema, rewrote category pages in plain English.
180-page city-service template that reads human, plus a WhatsApp agent handling 60% of intake.
Four quotes from real, ongoing engagements. Ask on a call and I will show you the live Search Console data behind any of them.
Three years in and still the best SEO money I have ever spent. Map Pack visibility across 40+ London postcodes, zero nonsense in the reporting, and I can text Syed directly when something breaks.
Organic revenue up 185% in 14 months. Product schema rebuild alone lifted rich-result capture by ~40%. No 12-month lock-in, month-to-month, which meant I could judge the work on results rather than on contract friction.
Moved from an NYC agency that billed $9k/month for junior-delivered work. Two years later, 23 practice-area terms on page one and qualified demos up 180%. Senior time, in USD, month-to-month, what US SaaS SEO should be.
Four-clinic group across Sydney. GBP work, postcode landing pages, review pipeline that actually complies with Google's rules. Patient bookings from organic up 3x in the first year. Remote but genuinely responsive.
Syed leads the strategy and personally runs the technical and on-page SEO on every account: 7+ years specialist SEO experience since 2019, Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads Search certified (full background on the about page). Behind him is a well organised remote crew handling off-page (link building, digital PR), social media marketing, and web build implementation, built over six years. Everything ships fast, nothing is outsourced to an AI bot that will earn your domain a penalty in the next core update.
The difference between a pitch deck and the people shipping your work is the difference between “scalable” and delivered.
Every placement is negotiated and published by hand through a six-year network of editors and journalists. We never use AI bots or PBNs, they get detected, they get demoted, and your domain pays the price.
Ten contextual do-follow links from real UK and international sites with Domain Rating 50 and above. Topically relevant. Placed inside genuine editorial content, not link-farm footers. Index report delivered within 4 weeks.
Ten earned placements on national UK and US media with Domain Rating 70 and above, the kind of coverage that shifts rankings in competitive verticals and doesn't disappear in the next core update. Written, pitched, and placed by our PR team.
Google's last five core updates have all sharpened link-spam detection. Bulk-placed links from AI-generated host sites and public blog networks are being flagged faster than they can be bought. Our model is slower and costs more per link, but the placements survive every update and compound in value the longer they stay live.
Most UK and US mid-market SEO programmes underperform because the senior consultant who won the pitch hands the work to a pod of juniors. seo-consultant.co works the opposite way: the senior who runs your first call writes your strategy and implements the work. The person on your first call is the person you escalate to in month six. No junior handoffs, no rotating account managers, no agency-fluff status calls.
Both, deliberately. seo-consultant.co is structured as a company (VAT-registered, invoicing, contracts, the accountability a business needs from a supplier) but delivered like a solo consultant: one senior person, Syed, on your account from the first call through every month after, not a company in the sense of a rotating pod of account managers and juniors. If you searched "SEO consulting company" because you need something more formal than a freelancer but were burned by an agency that handed you to juniors after the pitch, that gap is exactly what this practice is built to close.
The best SEO consultant is the senior who actually does the work, not the one who wins the pitch and hands you to a pod of juniors. Look for named-author E-E-A-T and verifiable case studies, technical SEO depth (Core Web Vitals, schema, crawl and indexation control), content that earns rankings rather than AI-spun filler, digital PR with real DR 60+ placements, transparent month-to-month pricing, and honest timelines instead of top-three-in-30-days promises. seo-consultant.co is built around exactly that: one senior consultant on your account end-to-end, across the UK and US.
Yes. UK is the primary base, but a meaningful share of retainer revenue comes from US mid-market and enterprise clients. Same senior consultant, US-friendly working hours (10am–7pm UK time covers US East Coast morning through afternoon), USD invoicing, and US publication network (Forbes Business Council, Inc., TechCrunch, HubSpot, SearchEngineLand) on the digital PR side. Many US buyers searching for SEO consultant USA, SEO expert America, SEO company USA, or affordable SEO company in USA find us through senior-direct positioning rather than the bigger US agencies that route to junior teams.
The Clutch, DesignRush, and First Page Sage lists rank by aggregate review count and content marketing budget. We rank by what actually moves a small or mid-market business: senior attention every week, technical SEO depth, content programmes Google indexes, and digital PR placements with verifiable DR 60+ publications. Small businesses get a senior who would otherwise charge enterprise rates because the firm is structured deliberately small. Affordable does not mean junior.
Yes, with one caveat. We work best with brands serious about technical SEO, content depth, and named-author E-E-A-T, regardless of size. We are not the right fit for businesses wanting a 50-person agency with weekly status calls, six-deliverable monthly retainers, or AI-generated content at scale. We are the right fit for businesses wanting the named senior consultant directly on their account, written strategy documents you can act on, and a small number of high-leverage work items shipped every month.
UK retainers start at £950/mo for Local SEO and £1,800/mo for competitive national campaigns. Mid-market and enterprise retainers scale to £8,000–£15,000+ per month. US equivalents in USD on the country hub. One-off audits £500, fully refundable on retainer within 30 days.
Starter (5 pages) from £490 (was £700) UK, $560 (was $800) USA. Custom Business (10 pages) from £1,050 (was £1,500) UK, $1,330 (was $1,900) USA. Full Build (15+ pages) £1,960 – £2,450 (was £2,800 – £3,500). Enterprise / e-commerce from £2,800 (was from £4,000). Hand-coded Next.js + React on Vercel by default; Shopify for DTC e-commerce, WordPress on request. Core Web Vitals green on launch.
From £4,500 one-off. WhatsApp and web agents for enquiry qualification, booking, quoting, dispatch and support. Built on N8N with OpenAI's current GPT-5.5 family and Anthropic Claude (Opus 4.7 / Sonnet 4.6 / Haiku 4.5) plus CRM integrations.
No. Month-to-month retainers with 30-day notice. Projects billed 50% deposit, 50% on launch. Cancel anytime.
Syed, senior consultant, runs every engagement end-to-end. The person on your first call is the person writing your strategy and implementing the work. No junior handoffs, no rotating account managers.
Technical wins show in 4–8 weeks. Competitive commercial terms take 4–8 months from page three to page one, 12+ months to hold top-three on competitive queries. AI search and generative engine optimisation citations typically land within 6–12 weeks of structured-data and named-author content rollout.
Roughly 22% of UK and US commercial-intent queries now surface an AI answer (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Gemini) above blue-link results. We treat AI search visibility as a load-bearing workstream alongside traditional SEO: named-author E-E-A-T, claim-level citations, FAQ schema with answerable 40–80-word answers, HowTo schema where eligible, and structured data depth that AI crawlers can extract cleanly. Brands cited in AI answers receive disproportionate referral traffic versus brands ranking page two of organic.
