Independent SEO, AI search and web content strategist

Clearer SEO strategy for organisations at a point of change.

I dream big, think differently and help bring good ideas into reality.

With me, you get ten people for the price of one: the strategist, researcher, search specialist, content planner, editor, designer, practical technical voice and candid sounding board.

The work stays joined up because it starts in one place.

Working across UK and US time zones, with fluent Spanish.

Ways to work together

Start where the real problem is.

There is no generic agency menu here. I can give clear direction, get stuck into practical work or keep the moving parts from wandering off in different directions.

01

Make the website easier to use and choose

Web design direction, usability, conversion journeys and the content around them. I help turn a good offer or tangled site into something people can understand and act on.

02

Fix search before it becomes a bigger job

SEO, technical and content audits, keyword research, site architecture and migrations. You get a clear view of what matters, what can wait and what could go wrong if nobody deals with it.

03

Bring the idea into reality

Content, AI search, messaging, branding and practical web builds. This is for work that crosses disciplines and needs one person to keep it joined up.
