Freelance SEO Consultant
If you’re here coz you googled ‘freelance SEO consultant’, SEO isn’t dead. And you want a piece of that. You’d like nothing more than qualified leads knocking on your digital door.
SEO fundamentals still matter
Generative AI hasn’t murdered the SEO industry. Instead, it’s created an additional route for clients to find your website. However, junk mail is bamboozling you with ‘AI-driven’ promises. Yes, SEO feels mental right now.
Here’s the reality: many businesses don’t pass basic SEO benchmarks. And when they don’t, no one finds those sites on Google, let alone on ChatGPT. Keywords are SEO 101. They remain a ranking factor and the gateway to search traffic, but you’d be amazed by how many websites fail to target them. Is that a description of your business website? Maybe.
Build on the basics
As a business owner, you’re in one of two camps:
- A business that never tried SEO
- A business that did, but the results were disappointing

About me
Freelance SEO consultant. WordPress tinkerer. Sarky commentator. Liked by UK and international clients. But wait. I wasted twenty years as an office administrator. No, that bit of intel doesn’t scream ‘hire an SEO consultant’. I know, I sound decidedly unqualified…

Nice things people said…
“A potty-mouthed whirlwind. An idiosyncratic workaholic and an obsessive genius. She really cares about making sites better. No corners were cut, or steps skipped, or tasks skimped. It must be because she knows her stuff so well that she can so speedily provide such sage advice.”
Graham PUGH, BRAND VOICE AGENCY
“The girl who finally got SEO to click in my brain via some of the funniest copywriting I’ve ever seen. Sarah managed to achieve what no other SEO expert I have encountered has managed: to get the information into my brain in a funny, accessible way.”
Siobhan Fox, Marketing Strategist
“If you’re looking for someone to cut through the noise and tell you exactly what your website needs to perform better, Sarah’s your person. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Her work was thorough, clear, and most importantly, actionable. No fluff, no jargon, just a focused breakdown. What I really appreciated was how easy she made the process. She listens, asks smart questions, and works fast. There’s no ego, no over complication, just deep knowledge, straight answers, and a sense of humour that makes even the driest parts of SEO feel manageable.”
RICHARD GODFREY, SYNCITY
“It feels like you actually get it. You’re not typing keywords into the void; you’re speaking to people and making real connections.”
Anumitha Apollo, Therapy Notes
“She not only breathes life into dry business language but makes it easy to digest.”
LINA NAVICKAITE, SMARTUP VISUALS

Find long-tail keywords and unlock your traffic potential
Long-tail keywords (LTKs) are specific keyword phrases. For example, you might search for ‘pink rubber inflatable dinghy’—that would be an LTK. You’re probably more familiar with broad, competitive, or head keywords. The kind of industry terms that attract lots of search traffic.

It’s the Google top spot, Jim, but not as we know it. Ah, the days when bagging the first organic result was all that mattered. SEOs promised it, and businesses expected it, but now, landing numero uno ain’t straightforward.

An SEO-friendly blog should be two things: 1) optimised for crawler bots (the digital insects that inspect content for indexing) and 2) interesting enough to be read by humans. In almost every instance, what’s good for the bots is good for the humans.
