Everything starts with a chat, so feel free to pop me an email with your questions, challenges, thoughts or musings and we’ll go from there. We can talk over email, through video chat, or with a good old-fashioned phone call. Whichever works best for you!

I hear you, and I hear that a lot! Being let down can really shake you, but your trust is precious to me. To give you more confidence, you can take a look at the glowing reviews and testimonials on my website, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google My Business page. You can also check out my previous clients: they are all real people, with real businesses. And for that added bit of transparency, you’ll be able to keep tabs on everything I’m doing for you through the Milk it Hub.

Very! I have over ten years of experience in SEO, and I live and breathe it daily. There isn’t much I don’t know about search ranking, and if anything’s new, I find out sharpish. Staying up-to-date with search changes is all part of the job.

I work across a varied network of freelancers and business owners - from Ecommerce, service providers, insurance companies and booksellers, to florists, business coaches, psychotherapists, and artists. My clients are spotted all over the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland and everywhere in between.

Not on your nelly. In the same way you don’t work for free, neither do I. I’m a consummate professional, with scores of testimonials to give you confidence in what I do (and what I can do for you). If you’d like a taster, feel free to try out my SEO audit.

Not even the Almighty Google can do that, I’m afraid. But I can promise to build you a solid SEO strategy, based on your business. Good SEO is a long game, and instant results aren’t guaranteed. I will say this though: I’m yet to have a client who hasn’t made it to page one, so there’s that.

Because SEO never stops. Honestly, it’s exhausting. You can’t just ‘SEO’ a website and expect to be found, in the same way you can’t stop promoting and marketing your business. SEO is about continual development, and if you want to be top of Google, you have to be top of the SEO game.

Yes, but you’ll soon find yourself at the bottom. Tricking Google isn’t a smart move; you might fly under the radar for a little while, but you will get found out and at that point you can wave bye-bye to your ranking. I only work with Google. What Google wants, Google gets.

Honestly? Because organic SEO takes time, and anything less than six months won’t see any meaningful results - especially on the lowest package. Dipping in and out of SEO doesn’t work either; in fact, it can make things worse. I only work with people who really are ready to invest in their business.

I got you to page one for some keywords - but did we hit them all? What about your new services, or the new keywords searchers are now using to find you? Getting to page one is the first step, but we want to be walking down the path, not stopping to look at the view.

That’s not a great way to build backlinks. Spammy backlinks are harmful to your ranking and won’t make a jot of difference to search engines. I only offer quality backlink opportunities through my Milk It Hub. The hub contains PR requests and blogger callouts, which enable you to pitch directly through my platform - then PR puts you directly in front of your ideal clients. Spiffy!

Sure you can. There are loads of training courses out there. I work with clients who don’t have the time, or who would rather leave it to an expert so they can carry on running their business, without the never-ending SEO headache.
