SEO consultant in Sydney. Same playbook I run on my own businesses.

Technical audits, content strategy, link building and local SEO. From someone who runs SEO across an agency, a brokerage, news sites and service businesses, not from a junior reading a report template.

WHO THIS IS FOR

If one of these sounds familiar.

The website looks fine but the phone does not ring.

Traffic is flat or the wrong people are finding you. Usually a structure, content or local problem, and fixable.

We pay an agency and get a monthly report.

You want a second opinion from someone with no retainer to protect, who can tell you what is working and what is not.

We want to own our SEO in-house.

Your team can do the work. They need a plan, priorities and someone to check it.

WHAT IS COVERED

The work, specifically.

Every item here is something I run on my own sites, with the same tools: Ahrefs, Semrush and Screaming Frog.

TECHNICAL

Technical SEO audits and fixes

Crawling, indexing, speed, structure and the errors that quietly hold a site back. Then the fixes, in order of impact.

CONTENT

Keyword strategy and content architecture

Which pages you need, what each one targets, and how they link together so Google understands the site.

AUTHORITY

Link building strategy and execution

I run Link Building Marketplace, a guest post marketplace for SEO agencies, so I know what a good placement looks like and what a bad one costs.

LOCAL

Local SEO for Australian service businesses

Google Business Profile, location pages that do not compete with each other, and the citations that matter.

AUDIT

Digital marketing audits: what is working, what is not

A plain-English look at your SEO, ads and website together, so you stop paying for the parts that do nothing.

HOW IT WORKS

Start small. Keep going only if it is useful.

Four ways to work together. Most people start with the first and decide from there.

1

A 15-minute intro call

Tell me what is going on with the site. You will walk away with at least one useful thing, whether we work together or not.

Free, no pitch
2

A consulting call

A focused 60 to 90 minute session on your site, a specific problem, or a decision you need to pressure-test.

Recording and follow-up notes included
3

Project work

A defined scope with a clear deliverable: a technical audit and fix list, a content plan, or a full SEO overhaul.

Scope and deliverables agreed up front
4

Ongoing advisory

Regular access each month for strategy, oversight of your team or agency, and a second set of eyes on what ships.

Minimum three months
CONSULTANT OR AGENCY

You might not need an agency.

If you do, the agency side is covered too.

QUESTIONS

Straight answers.

Do you do the work or just advise?

Both, depending on what you need. The consulting gives you a plan, priorities and someone to check the work. If you want it done for you, the build and SEO execution run through Core Creations, the agency I founded.

Is there a minimum engagement or lock-in?

No. A single consulting call has no ongoing commitment. Project work is scoped up front. Ongoing advisory has a minimum of three months.

How is SEO consulting priced?

It depends on the work: a single call, a scoped project or ongoing advisory. Send an enquiry or book a call, tell me what you need, and you will get a straight quote.

Can you guarantee rankings?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What I can give you is a clear view of what is holding the site back and the order to fix it in, based on what works on my own sites.

Do you only work with Sydney businesses?

No. I am based in Sydney and work with businesses across Australia. Calls run over the phone or video.

ENQUIRE
