Freelance SEO Consultant Bristol & Somerset
Get Found by Customers
Searching Online
Strong SEO improves your visibility, helps you get found in search, and ensures your brand shows up not only on Google but also within AI powered search experiences.
As a freelance SEO consulatant, I provide specialist SEO services to independent businesses and brands with a particular focus on local services SEO and e-commerce SEO. I work with businesses in Bristol, Bath in Somerset and have clients from all over the UK.
For service-based businesses, I help you get found locally and become the obvious choice when customers are searching nearby. For e-commerce brands, I can help increase relevant traffic sources and optimise your website so your products are discovered by people actively looking to buy.
I also support lifestyle businesses and DTC brands with Pinterest to drive high-intent traffic from visual search and further strengthen SEO efforts.
From keyword research and on-page optimisation to content planning and performance tracking, my services are designed to increase traffic, strengthen your search presence, and position your brand to be found wherever your audience is searching.
Not getting found in search? I’ll carry out a comprehensive SEO audit to identify technical issues, content gaps, and key website optimisations. You’ll receive clear, prioritised recommendations that improve visibility, strengthen rankings, and create a solid foundation for sustainable organic growth.
If you run a local business, you need to be found where your potential customers are searching. I’ll optimise your website and local listings to help you rank higher in local search results, including in Google Maps and Bing Places. From keyword targeting to profile optimisation, I’ll position your business to attract nearby customers who are ready to buy.
For many UK e-commerce business owners, organic search traffic is one of the most cost-effective ways to drive product sales. I’ll optimise your store layout, category pages, and product listings to improve visibility and user experience. By targeting high-intent keywords and building your site’s authority, I’ll help grow your brand’s visibility and convert visitors into online sales.

If your customers are searching online for what you offer, then yes, your business needs SEO.
Whether you’re a local service provider relying on enquiries in a specific area, or an e-commerce brand competing nationally, search engines are often the first place people turn when they’re ready to buy. SEO ensures your business shows up at the right moment, in front of the right audience, with the right message.
For local businesses, SEO helps you appear in map listings and location-based searches like “near me” or “[service] in [town]”. That visibility directly influences calls, bookings and footfall.
For e-commerce brands, SEO builds sustainable, long-term traffic. Instead of relying solely on paid ads, you attract high-intent visitors who are actively searching for your products. That means more qualified traffic, stronger conversion potential and better return on investment over time.
SEO isn’t just about ranking higher. It’s about:
If your competitors are investing in SEO and you’re not, they’re likely capturing demand that could be yours.
I work best with established small businesses, local service providers, retailers and lifestyle brands in the UK who are ready to invest in sustainable growth.
If you’re looking for overnight rankings or guaranteed first positions in competitive markets, SEO probably isn’t the right channel. Search visibility is built through strategy, consistency and technical precision.
Before we start working together, I assess whether SEO is genuinely the right fit for your goals. If it isn’t, I’ll tell you. The aim is always commercial impact, not just traffic for traffic’s sake.
It’s a fair question. SEO can feel opaque if you’ve worked with agencies that promised a lot and reported very little.
Trust comes from clarity and process.
I focus on:
You’ll understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and how it connects to your business objectives.
I don’t promise “page one in 30 days”. Instead, I set realistic expectations based on competition, market size and your current website performance. SEO is cumulative. Improvements build on each other, and the results compound over time.
Most importantly, I align SEO activity with commercial outcomes: enquiries, sales, bookings and revenue, not just vanity rankings.
