- Kickstart £295
- Written findings
- No hourly fees
What an SEO consultant does
A consultant looks at your site, your market and your rivals, then tells you what to do and in what order. Some stop there and hand you a report. Others stay on to do the work or guide your own team through it.
Our consultants are the same specialists who run client campaigns, so the advice comes from work that is live today rather than theory. You get the findings in writing, in order of impact, with a clear note on what each fix is worth.
Many Birmingham firms come to us after a drop in traffic, before a new website goes live, or when they want someone outside their current provider to check the work. Those are exactly the moments a consultant earns their fee, and most of them come down to technical SEO in Birmingham as much as content.

SEO specialist or freelancer?
An honest look at both. A good freelancer can be the right choice.
Where a freelancer shines
- Small, single projects with a clear end
- Deep skill in one area, such as technical audits
- Often the lowest day rate
- Direct contact with the person doing the work
Where a specialist team helps
- Work that needs technical, content and link skills together
- Cover for holidays and sickness
- Tools and data already paid for
- A second pair of eyes on every change
When to bring in a consultant
- 01Act within weeks
Traffic has dropped
We check updates, technical changes and lost links to find the cause, then rank the fixes.
- 02Before launch
A site move is coming
Redirect maps, template checks and a launch day checklist so rankings carry over.
- 03First 3 months
A new site has launched
Indexing, titles and internal links checked while it is still cheap to change them.
- 04Any time
You want a second opinion
An outside view on your current provider's plan and reports, without the sales pitch.
What our audits usually find
Three anonymised findings from recent audits, and what fixing them did.
| Finding | What it meant | What the fix did |
|---|---|---|
| Service pages blocked from Google after a redesign | Key pages missing from search for weeks | Pages back in the index within days of the fix |
| Same title on every location page | Google picked one page and ignored the rest | Each area page started ranking for its own town |
| Business Profile in the wrong main category | Missing from the map pack for the main service | Profile started appearing for the core search |
SEO expert advice built on Birmingham searches
Advice is only useful if it fits your market. Before a consultation we check page one for your main searches from inside the city, note which rivals hold the map pack and look at how your site compares on speed, content and links.
That way the call is about your business, not a generic checklist. If the honest answer is that SEO is not the right channel for you yet, we will say so. Our SEO Birmingham team would rather lose a sale than sell work that will not pay back.
What a consultant checks
The areas every Kickstart audit covers, with the questions we answer for each.
Technical health
Can Google crawl and index every page that matters? Are there redirect chains, slow templates or duplicate pages wasting attention?
Search demand
Which terms do your buyers use, how many people search for them each month and which ones you already rank for.
Content
Does each key page answer the search behind it, and is anything thin, outdated or competing with another of your own pages?
Local presence
Business Profile category, services, photos and reviews, plus whether your name and details match across directories.
Links and mentions
Who links to you and your rivals, which links help and whether any risky links need attention.
Tracking
Whether calls, forms and sales are measured properly, so future decisions are based on real numbers.
What happens once you have the findings
Every audit ends with a ranked fix list. The top of the list is the work most likely to bring more enquiries soonest, with a short note on why. Lower down are the jobs worth doing when time allows, and anything we think is not worth your money.
With the Kickstart we fix up to 10 of your pages ourselves, so the most important changes are live before the report is in your inbox. After that you can hand the rest to your own developer, carry on with one of our monthly plans, or simply keep the report. There is no follow-up pressure either way.
Some firms come back months later for a second check, especially after a redesign or a change of provider. We keep notes from the first audit so a later review starts from where we left off.
Firms that use our consultancy
| Type of firm | Typical reason | Usual outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Clinics and dental practices | Losing map pack places to new rivals | Profile and service pages rebuilt around treatments |
| Trades and home services | Plenty of calls in one area, none in others | Area pages and citations for each patch served |
| Professional firms | New website launched, enquiries dropped | Redirects repaired and old rankings recovered |
| Online shops | Product pages indexed, categories missing | Category pages rewritten and crawl waste removed |
What good SEO advice looks like
Good advice is specific. Instead of "improve your content", it says which page, which search it should rank for, what is missing and roughly how long the change will take. Instead of "build links", it names the kinds of sites that link to your rivals and how to approach them.
It is also honest about cost and payback. Some fixes take ten minutes and are worth doing today. Others need a developer or weeks of writing, and only make sense if the search behind them brings enough work. We put a rough value next to each item so you can decide what to do yourself and what to hand over.
Finally, good advice is written down. Calls are useful for questions, but a written report means your team, your developer or a future provider can follow the reasoning long after the call has ended.
