SEO Consultant in Leeds
Expert advice for teams who do the work themselves.
Our SEO consultant service in Leeds gives in-house marketers and founders a clear plan from a specialist with 14+ years in search. Start with a £275 Kickstart audit, then add monthly support only if it helps.
What an SEO consultant does
An SEO consultant looks at your site, your market and your team, then tells you what to change and in what order. The value is in the priorities: most sites have dozens of small issues, but only a handful decide whether you rank.
You keep control of the work. Your developer makes the technical changes, your writer handles content, and the consultant checks the result and adjusts the plan as rankings move.
If you later decide you would rather hand the work over, the same team can take it on through our SEO agency in Leeds service without starting from scratch.
Work with an SEO expert in Leeds
Hiring an SEO expert in Leeds by the hour can get expensive fast, and session packages often end before anything is fixed. We keep it simpler: one Kickstart audit with a written plan and a video walkthrough, then an optional monthly plan.
The Kickstart covers technical health, on-page issues, your keyword map and your Google Business Profile. Each finding is ranked by impact so your team knows exactly where to start.
- Technical and on-page audit
- Keyword map for your main services
- Google Business Profile review
- Priority fix list ranked by impact
- Video walkthrough of the findings
Specialist, freelancer or team?
Three common ways to get SEO help, compared honestly.
When to bring in an SEO consultant
These are the moments when outside advice tends to pay for itself.
Before a redesign
A migration without an SEO plan can wipe out years of rankings in a week.
After a traffic drop
A sudden fall usually has a clear cause that can be found and fixed.
When hiring in-house
A consultant can set the plan and check the first months of a new hire's work.
When agencies disagree
A second opinion helps when two suppliers give you opposite advice.
Entering a new market
New services or towns need research before content is written.
When AI answers ignore you
If ChatGPT or AI Overviews recommend competitors, there are clear reasons why.
Typical findings from a consultation
Problems we often find in a first review of a Leeds business website.
Pages competing with each other
Two or three pages targeting the same search, so Google ranks none of them well.
Service pages that say too little
A 200 word page trying to rank against competitors with useful, detailed answers.
An unclaimed or messy profile
Wrong categories, old opening hours or duplicate Google Business Profile listings.
Blocked or orphaned pages
Important pages with no internal links, or blocked from indexing by mistake.

Free audit
A short audit in one working day so you can judge the approach before paying anything.
