London isn’t like most places. Whatever your business does, someone else in the city is probably doing it too, often several streets away, sometimes in the same building, so a dentist in Clapham isn’t competing with one or two other practices but dozens, all fighting for the same handful of searches. Whether you’re an accountant near Liverpool Street or a boutique selling homeware out of Peckham, the underlying work is the same as it is anywhere else, a technically sound site, keyword research grounded in how real customers actually search, and content that genuinely answers their questions. What changes in London is the sheer volume of competition, so a term that would take a few weeks to rank for in a smaller town can take months here simply because everyone else is chasing it too.

London is also where most of my ecommerce and B2B client work happens to be based, alongside local, service-based businesses. If you’re a freelance SEO consultant search away from finding someone, the honest pitch is the same either way: one person, handling the whole thing directly, no account managers and no work quietly passed down to someone junior.

Problems I solve

What's usually holding a site like yours back

Lack of local presence

Competing against larger rivals while building a local presence can be daunting. From managing your Google Business profile to penning copy for your landing pages, I'll help you tap into your local target audience in London.

Competing against national and global brands

Smaller UK towns mostly mean competing with other local businesses. In London, you're often up against national chains and global brands who also target London specifically. The strategy has to account for that, not pretend it isn't happening.

Ranking for the right keywords is a headache

Whether you want to target top-of-funnel keywords that grab the most traffic or bottom-of-funnel keywords that attract buying customers, we'll work together to perfect your keyword strategy.

Struggling to convert visitors into leads and customers

Traffic doesn't matter much if it doesn't lead to business results. That's why I also work hard to push your conversions up along with your traffic.

How it works

How this engagement starts

Website audit

I'll dive deep into your website and run an SEO audit to identify strengths, weaknesses, areas for improvement, and threats. We'll go through this report in our first meeting.

Consultation

We'll jump on a call where I introduce myself, break down the report, and gather more intel about your business goals, target audience, current SEO efforts, and challenges.

SEO proposal

I'll draft up an SEO proposal that sums up the services I'll provide, timelines, deliverables, and pricing. Once we're both happy, we formalise the agreement and I get to work.

Implementation

Armed with fresh insights, I'll roll up my sleeves and start working on your personalised SEO campaign, handling all the SEO optimisations and keeping you updated on progress.

✓ Written for your business, not a template with the city name swapped in
✓ One point of contact, no account managers, no outsourcing
✓ Clear pricing, no bloated retainers
✓ Remote-first, but happy to meet in person if that's what you'd prefer

FAQ

Questions people ask before we start

How much does SEO cost for a London business?

If you want work that moves the needle, expect to invest at least £1,000 a month, covering the basics done properly, technical fixes, content, and local optimisation. Bigger businesses that serve multiple areas across Greater London usually spend £1,500 to £3,000. Before we start, I’ll walk you through what’s realistic and what kind of return you can expect.

What makes SEO in London different from other UK cities?

Mostly the competition. A term that would take a few weeks to rank for in a smaller town can take months in London, simply because everyone else is chasing it too, including national and global brands, not just local rivals. The fundamentals don’t change, but the timeline and the level of technical and content work needed to win usually does.

Can you help if my business covers multiple London boroughs?

Yes. Each area you genuinely serve gets its own properly built page rather than one generic page trying to rank everywhere at once. That’s what helps Google, and the people searching, understand exactly which part of London you actually cover.

Do you work with London businesses remotely, or in person?

Remotely by default, since most of the work (audits, content, technical fixes) doesn’t need to happen in person. If you’d genuinely rather meet, that’s fine too, just say so when we first talk.

I've been burned by an agency before. How is this different?

You get the same level of expertise without the account manager layer, the generic packages, or the work getting quietly handed off to someone junior. I handle everything myself, from strategy through to implementation.

How long does it take for SEO to work in London?

If your website has been around for a while and Google already knows it exists, you’ll usually start to see small improvements within four to eight weeks. Leads often follow after three to six months, once the technical work, content, and local signals start to kick in. If your site is brand new, it can take longer.

Can you guarantee page one rankings?

No, and no one credible should. I can show you what’s achievable and what other London businesses are ranking for, but Google decides who shows up first. What I do guarantee is consistent, transparent work that moves you toward more leads.

How do you choose which keywords to target?

I start with your goals, what services bring profit and what areas you want to grow in, then research how people in London actually search for those services, and map the best keywords to specific pages based on search intent and conversion.

Do you offer ongoing SEO maintenance after initial optimisation?

Yes. I offer ongoing maintenance to make sure your website holds onto its rankings, monitoring performance, making adjustments, and staying on top of Google algorithm changes.
