SEO Consulting Digital Agency Hire By The Hour
Over 17 years I’ve been handling migrations of all kinds; platform to platform, domain to domain, rebranding even negative SEO Google recovery on three occasions. Digital Agencies and website owners alike hire me, I oversee larger scale projects including rebranding – a domain and platform simultaneous migration with no loss of SEO rankings loss.
Sometimes all tasks can be completed in this 4 hours, here’s what has usually happened in my experience:
– 1 hour video call, I will record a Zoom chat and upload to YouTube as Unlisted so it’s a private video that only we can access and recap at any time. This is useful for Digital Agencies who want to share my recommendations with their team, or sometimes, the client themselves.
– 1 hour for me to write a breakdown for your development team, a comprehensive list of tasks that is easy to follow
– 2 hours of my time on standby, for additional calls, messages and email support, to walk your team through the process
with ad-hoc tasks along the way from myself. This involves Google Search Console actions and daily monitoring.
Project Management Hourly Fees – Ecommerce and Penalty Recovery Operations
For team consultations and technical SEO do get in touch for a bespoke cost quotation.
2025 pricing: £70/hour consulating services for websites who have suffered a manual penalty from Google and require a backlink disavow and recovery / request reviews. Constant monitoring and evaluation from the project start date to client satisfaction (KPI is usually search phrase ranking recovery)
I’ve demonstrated in just 90 minutes of a multi-website project I assisted an agency team of highly skilled developers and their Team Manager identify a large issue related to the technical setup of Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools. Overnight their rankings and website traffic increased significantly.
eCommerce Google Ranking – Organic Traffic Recovery or Improvement
This scenario is actually a lot trickier and time consuming than the above situation of a manual penalty recovery. Sometimes it’s not possible to black and white verify exactly what when wrong, when, and how to resolve – in cases like these the implementation of positive on-page SEO methods combined with technical exercises such as toxic backlink identification with a view to a possible Google Disavow needs to be ruled out.
It’s my primary job to run a detailed manual audit and data mining exercises in Google to backtrack and pinpoint the possible date of the depreciation and possible solutions.
This includes regular consultations purely to discuss the history of marketing techniques that have been employed in the past with the website and to take some of the guesswork out of my findings.
Speaking in-depth with a client is essential, I’ll be asking exactly what SEO tasks have been carried out, for copies of previous SEO reports, historical ranking tracking for search phrases, utilising the Wayback Machine and applying today’s SEO methods to test stage by stage, sometimes over a period of months.
The Relationship Between Website Developers and an SEO
Web design agencies don’t know SEO just as I don’t know how to create a logo or build a website with HTML. It’s an industry standard rule that skilled website developers and designers don’t have (or need) the knowledge for the more intrinsic settings of Google Webmaster Tools and GA4 analysis. This is absolutely identical to the fact that I have no idea about design and have limited coding, JSON and CMS development skills.
White Labelling SEO Services
I have had agreements with many design agencies in the UK and Europe, white labelling my services and working under their brand to provide tutoring, ad-hoc advice and project fixes. Price is dependent on each project so on this occasion I can’t offer a flat fee as the cost is variable.
