Expert advice

SEO Consultant in Leicester

SEO consultant support in Leicester for firms that want expert advice and a clear plan, not a long retainer. Our agency has 11+ years in search, with a one-off Kickstart for £295 and ongoing help from £249 a month.

What we do

What an SEO consultant does

SEO consultants diagnose why a site is not ranking and set out what to fix, in what order. The work covers technical health, content, local search and links, and ends with a plan your team or ours can follow.

SEO consultancy in Leicester is often bought at a turning point: a drop in traffic, a new website, a site move or a new marketing hire who wants a second opinion.

SEO consultants Leicester firms work with should explain findings clearly and price them up front. Every option on this page has a fixed price, so you know the cost before we start.

Consultancy options

SEO consultancy options

SEO consultant support from our agency comes in two forms. We do not sell hourly strategy sessions, because a fixed scope gives you more for the same budget.

One-off audit and fixes

SEO expert help with a fixed scope: the Kickstart audits your site, fixes up to 10 pages and leaves a 90 day plan, done in 10 working days for £295.

  • Technical and on-page audit
  • Business Profile optimisation
  • Fixes to up to 10 pages
  • 90 day plan

Ongoing consultancy

SEO experts on call through a monthly plan from £249, with the work done for you and a monthly call to review results and set priorities.

  • Monthly work and report
  • 20 minute call each month
  • Rolling monthly terms
  • Move plans at any time

When to call

When you need a consultant, not an agency

SEO consultant work fits these six situations best. If you need steady work every month, a monthly plan usually gives better value.

Traffic drop

SEO traffic drops after an update or a site change need a clear diagnosis fast.

Site migration

SEO checks before and after a site move protect rankings you already have.

New website launch

SEO reviews before launch avoid the common mistakes that cost months.

Second opinion

SEO second opinions help in-house marketers check their plans.

Due diligence

SEO checks before buying a business or a website show what you are paying for.

Agency review

SEO reviews of current agency work show what is being done for the fee.

Your choice

Freelance SEO consultant or specialist team?

Freelance SEO consultants in Leicester can be a good fit for small, one-off jobs, and many are highly skilled. The trade-offs are cover during holidays and the range of skills one person can offer.

SEO consultant work from a specialist team means technical, content and link specialists all look at your site. You get the same fixed price, with no pause in the work if one person is away.

SEO consultant fees in the Midlands are often charged at £120 to £150 an hour. Our Kickstart covers a full audit, fixes and a plan for £295, with no VAT added.

What we check

What an SEO consultant checks

SEO consultant audits from our agency cover four areas, and each finding comes with the fix and how much it matters.

Technical health

SEO checks for indexing, speed, redirects, schema and mobile layout.

Pages and content

SEO checks for titles, headings, thin pages and pages that compete.

Local presence

SEO checks for your Business Profile, citations and reviews.

Links

SEO checks for the links you have, the ones you lost and quick wins.

From our audits

Example findings from our audits

SEO audit findings like these come up again and again. Each one is anonymised and typical, not a named client.

Pages blocked from Google

SEO audits often find key pages set to noindex or blocked after a redesign.

Pages competing

SEO audits find several pages chasing the same search, so none ranks well.

Profile gaps

SEO audits find Business Profiles with the wrong category or missing services.

FAQ

SEO consultant FAQs

How much does an SEO consultant cost in Leicester?

SEO consultants in the Midlands often charge £120 to £150 an hour. Our Kickstart is a fixed £295 for an audit, fixes and a 90 day plan, with no VAT added.

How long does an SEO audit take?

SEO audits in the Kickstart take 10 working days from access to the final call, including fixes to up to 10 pages.

Will you carry out the fixes?

SEO fixes to up to 10 pages are included in the Kickstart. Further work can run on a monthly plan, or your team can follow the plan.

Can you train my team?

SEO training is not a separate service, but the 90 day plan and the final call are written so your team can follow them.

Do you sign NDAs?

SEO consultancy work often involves private data, and we are happy to sign a reasonable NDA before access is set up.

Can I move from the Kickstart to a monthly plan?

SEO Kickstart clients can move to any monthly plan after the 10 working days, and the 90 day plan becomes the starting point.

Can you help after a Google update hit our traffic?

SEO consultant work after a Google update starts by checking which pages and searches lost traffic, then comparing them with the pages that gained, before any changes are made.

Is the Kickstart the same as the free audit?

SEO Kickstart work goes much further than the free audit. The free audit lists problems and three quick wins; the Kickstart fixes up to 10 pages and leaves a full 90 day plan.

Can you review work done by another agency?

SEO reviews of another agency's work are a common reason firms book the Kickstart. We check what was done, what it achieved and what should come next.
