SEO Maxing helps businesses and publishers diagnose SEO problems, build search-ready WordPress websites, and grow through SEO and content.
Start with your situation, not a menu of jargon. Three clear routes, plus a custom path for bigger ideas.
Traffic looks fine but enquiries stay flat. Find exactly what is holding it back with a manual audit and a prioritized 90-day roadmap.
SEO Audit + Roadmap 02 · BuildA fast, custom WordPress site with technical SEO built in from day one. Clean code, real performance, no page-builder bloat.
WordPress Development 03 · GrowYour site works, but visibility has stalled. A focused 90-day SEO and content pilot with real on-page work and honest reporting.
SEO + Content PilotIdea-to-Launch: strategy, brand, build and SEO for founders starting from scratch, scoped around one clear goal.
Tools you can run yourself, free. Each one shows the evidence behind every finding, so you can check the claim instead of taking it on trust.
If traffic or rankings have fallen and you cannot see why, this runs a technical SEO audit of up to 25 of your important pages and reports only what it can prove.
The list I work through by hand on a paid audit, including the Search Console reports no automated scanner can open on your behalf.

Most SEO fails because people run tasks without understanding the goal. I work in the opposite order.
I find the real business goal and the true search intent behind the work.
Business + website reviewI rank what will actually move the needle, so you are not handed a list of 100 fixes.
Clear action planI implement with clarity, following Google’s guidelines, not shortcuts.
Visible implementationI track what changed, learn what moved, and refine from evidence.

Pick a starting point, or scope something custom. Every project starts with understanding your goal.
What you get working with a founder who goes to the backend of every problem, in plain terms.
Most SEO fails from generic work. I dig into the backend of every task to understand the goal first, then implement with clarity.
You work directly with me from the first call to delivery. No handoffs, no junior team learning on your budget.
Honest reporting tied to enquiries and outcomes, never inflated numbers that look good but mean nothing.
Your site, content, analytics and accounts stay in your name. No lock-in, no hostage situations, ever.
You know exactly what’s included, what’s not, and when. No scope creep, no vague forever-retainers.
If search isn’t the best use of your budget, I’ll say so. Honest advice beats an easy sale every time.
Both models do good work. The difference shows up after the pitch, because SEO strategy is only worth what actually gets implemented. Hiring an independent SEO consultant removes the layer between the person you brief and the person who changes your site.
| What changes | With an SEO agency | With me |
|---|---|---|
| Who answers your question | A senior strategist wins the work. After that an account manager holds the relationship and carries your questions to someone else. | You ask me. I either know, or I open your site and look while we are still talking. |
| Who opens the site | The person who impressed you in the pitch is rarely the person working in your admin panel afterwards. | One person audits, decides and implements, so nothing is lost in the handover between those three steps. |
| What happens to a finding | Diagnosis and repair are usually separate. The audit arrives as a document, then the fixes are quoted again or passed to your developer. | I build WordPress as well as diagnose it, so most of what an audit finds gets fixed rather than forwarded. |
| What you are told | Monthly reporting tends to be shaped around justifying the retainer. | You see your own Search Console numbers, including the months when they are flat and why. |
One person has one person’s capacity. If you need paid media, PR, design and search running at once, or guaranteed cover while someone is on leave, an agency is built for that and I am not. If you are a small business looking for an SEO consultant, the question is usually not agency or independent. It is whether the person you hire can also fix what they find.
How I actually workI help businesses grow with strategy, custom websites, WordPress systems, web apps, content and technical execution that turn attention into qualified leads and long-term growth. Before I touch a project, I research deeply and understand the real goal. That clarity is why my work gets results, not guesswork.

The things people ask me most, answered honestly.
Practical notes on search, content and building sites that convert.
Google found a duplicate and picked the canonical itself. Here is how to tell whether it picked correctly, what causes it, and when the honest answer is to leave the report alone.

Name the file after what the image shows, before you upload it. Why that small habit matters, what it will not do, and the WordPress trap that catches people who rename images afterwards.
