Not every business needs someone running a campaign every month. Plenty just need an experienced set of eyes on a specific problem, a decision that’s about to be made, or the work someone else is being paid to do.

That’s what consulting is. You bring the question, I bring twenty years of doing this across independent consultancy and enterprise technical work, and you leave with a straight answer and something you can act on.

A Second Opinion on Your Current Provider

If you’re paying an agency and can’t tell whether you’re getting value, I’ll look at what they’re actually doing and tell you.

Sometimes the answer is that the work is sound and the timeline is simply longer than anyone explained to you. Sometimes it isn’t. Either way you’ll know where you stand, and you’ll know which questions to ask on the next call.

I’m not trying to win the account off them. If they’re doing good work, I’ll say so.

SEO Audits

A full technical and content audit of your site. Where you sit against the competitors ranking above you, what’s holding the site back, and what to do about it, ordered by what will actually move the needle.

Most clients take the audit and implement it themselves, or hand it to their web developer. That’s the intent. It’s a one-off engagement with a couple of meetings to walk you through the findings, not the opening move in a retainer pitch.

Planning a New Site or a Rebuild

The cheapest time to fix a website’s SEO is before it’s built. Structure, URLs, and content planning settled at the wireframe stage will save you paying someone to unpick it eighteen months later, usually for more than the planning would have cost.

I work alongside your designer or developer on this. I’m not replacing them, and I’m not building the site.

Training and Workshops

I’ve guest lectured at Curtin University, run workshops for CQU across Queensland, and trained tourism operators for Tourism Tropical North Queensland. If your marketing is handled in-house and the person doing it is learning from blog posts, I can shortcut that.

Format and group size vary a lot, so training is quoted per engagement rather than priced on the page.

What Consulting Isn’t

Consulting is advice and one-off work. If you want the ongoing work handled month after month, with someone monitoring, fixing and building as they go, that’s an SEO campaign.
