Straight-talking SEO advice, from the person who’ll actually do the work
No account managers, no junior hand-offs, no vague monthly reports. You get us, directly, looking at your actual site.
What “consultancy” actually means when it’s just us
We’re not a large agency with account managers passing your site between departments. When you hire us for SEO consultancy, you’re hiring one person who has been doing this since 2006 — and that person is who audits your site, writes the strategy, and answers your emails.
Technical Audits
Crawl errors, indexing problems, site speed and Core Web Vitals, structured data and mobile usability — the foundations that let the rest of your SEO actually work.
Keyword & Content Strategy
What your customers are actually typing into Google, where the realistic opportunities are, and what your pages need to say to earn the click.
Straight-Talking Link Guidance
We won’t sell you a bulk link-building package. We’ll tell you plainly which link opportunities are worth chasing and which are a waste of your budget.
Analytics & Reporting
Real numbers from Google Search Console and Analytics, explained in plain English — not a glossy PDF full of vanity metrics.
Why businesses come to us for consultancy specifically
Most of our work is full SEO delivery — we do the technical fixes, write the content, and manage the campaign ourselves. But some businesses already have an in-house marketing person, or a web team, and just need an experienced outside eye: someone to audit what’s there, point out what’s actually holding rankings back, and hand over a clear plan the in-house team can run with.
That’s what SEO consultancy means here. It’s not a watered-down version of the full service — it’s the same technical depth and the same directness, scoped to advice and strategy rather than ongoing delivery.
Us vs a bigger SEO agency
We’ll say this plainly: We’re not the right fit for every business, and a bigger agency isn’t either. Here’s how we actually compare.
Working with us
- You deal with us directly — no account manager relaying messages to someone else doing the actual work
- Deep WordPress specialism, built up since 2006
- Upfront day-rate pricing, not a black-box retainer
- Limited capacity — we take on a set number of clients so quality doesn’t slip
- Best suited to WordPress sites, and to businesses who want a specialist rather than a full in-house-style team
A larger agency
- More people, more specialisms under one roof — useful if you need large-scale execution across many channels
- Often better suited to enterprise sites or multi-platform builds beyond WordPress
- Typically higher overhead, reflected in retainer pricing
- Your day-to-day contact usually isn’t the person doing the technical work
When consultancy makes sense
Every business on this list has already tried something first — a plugin, a checklist, or a few months with someone else. The traffic numbers afterward were usually the same as before.
Your traffic has plateaued
Something specific is usually holding a site back — a technical issue, a content gap, or weak internal linking. An outside audit finds it faster than staring at your own site.
You’re launching a new WordPress site
Getting site architecture, internal linking and technical structure right from day one is far cheaper than fixing it after launch.
You have an in-house team who need direction
We audit, prioritise and hand over a plan your own team can implement — useful when you don’t need (or want) to outsource delivery entirely.
Your content isn’t ranking
Often it’s not the writing quality — it’s a mismatch with what people are actually searching for. That’s a strategy problem, not a copywriting one.
Why eco seo, specifically
We’ve been doing this since 2006, and we’ve built up real experience across a wide range of sectors — you can see some of that history, including specific results, on our industry experience page.
We specialise in WordPress. That’s a deliberate choice — it means we go deep on one platform rather than spreading ourselves thin across every CMS, and it’s why our WordPress speed work and technical audits tend to catch things a generalist would miss.
We also run eco seo as a solar-powered agency, which isn’t a marketing line — it’s just how we’ve chosen to run the business.
And pricing is upfront: see current day-rates and packages rather than being asked to “get in touch for a quote” before you know if this is even in your budget.
