When To Use Consulting
High-Stakes SEO Problems Need a Strategist, Not a Tool
Every session is scoped to your situation. These are the problems clients bring to us most.
Traffic Dropped and You Don't Know Why
Rankings fell after a core update. Or traffic is slowly bleeding out with no clear trigger. We diagnose the root cause using GSC, Ahrefs, and Sitebulb data before recommending anything.
Google Penalty Recovery
Manual action or algorithmic hit. We identify the penalty type, isolate contributing factors, and build the recovery plan. Backlink cleanup, content quality fixes, reconsideration requests.
Rankings Stalled Despite Doing "Everything Right"
You've built links. You've published content. Nothing moves. The problem is usually topical authority gaps and weak semantic signals. Competitors outrank you because Google trusts their content structure, not just their backlinks.
Second Opinion on Existing SEO Work
Your current agency says things are "on track" but results aren't showing. We'll review their strategy, audit the actual data, and tell you what's working, what's not, and what they're missing.
Site Migration or Redesign Planning
Migrations destroy rankings when SEO isn't involved from day one. We plan URL mapping, redirect strategy, content preservation, and post-launch monitoring before anything goes live.
AI Visibility and Search Strategy
Google AI Overviews appear in up to 60% of US queries. Your content needs to be structured for both traditional rankings and AI citation. We build strategies that cover both.
Choose Your Session
Three Ways to Work Together
Pick the format that matches the problem. All sessions are 1-on-1 with a senior strategist, recorded, and followed by written notes within 24 hours.
One-off Sessions
30-Minute Strategy Call
Fast tactical feedback. Quick clarity on a specific problem.
- One focused topic or question
- Pre-call review of your site and data
- Live recommendations on the call
- Recording + action notes within 24 hours
1-Hour Deep Dive
A full strategic deep-dive with a 30-60 day action plan.
- Multi-topic strategy session
- Full pre-call audit of GSC, Ahrefs, and content
- 30-60 day prioritized action plan
- Recording, written summary, and follow-up Q&A
Monthly Engagement
Monthly Advisory
Ongoing strategic leadership without a full-time hire. A recurring partnership for teams that want a senior strategist embedded in their decision-making, not bolted on after the fact.
- Recurring monthly strategy sessions
- Async Slack or email access between calls
- Quarterly roadmap reviews and re-prioritization
- Direct line to a senior strategist, no account manager
- Ad-hoc reviews of new content, links, or technical changes
- Pause or cancel month-to-month after the first 90 days

FAQ
Common questions about seo consulting.
Do you prepare before the call?
Yes. We do pre-call research on every session. By the time we meet, we've already reviewed your site structure, keyword positions, backlink profile, and top competitors. You're not paying for us to learn your site on the clock.
Is the call recorded?
Yes. You receive the full recording and a written summary with action items within 24 hours.
What if I only need help with one specific thing?
That's exactly what the 30-minute session is for. Whether it's a link strategy question, a technical issue, a content prioritization decision, or a penalty diagnosis, we'll focus the entire session on your most pressing problem.
Can you help my content or dev team directly?
Yes. We build strategy that your internal teams can execute. The action items are written clearly enough for developers, content writers, and marketing managers to implement without needing additional interpretation.
What's the difference between consulting and a technical audit?
A technical audit is a comprehensive written report delivered as a document. Consulting is a live strategic session where we work through your problems together in real time. Many clients do both: an audit for the full diagnostic, then consulting for ongoing strategy and execution support.
Can you help with Google penalty recovery?
Yes. Penalty recovery is one of the most common reasons clients book consulting. We diagnose whether it's a manual action or algorithmic hit, identify contributing factors, and build the recovery plan. For more detail, see our penalty recovery page.
Do you offer implementation after consulting?
Yes. If you want us to execute the strategy rather than hand it off to your team, we offer monthly SEO and technical implementation services. We'll scope this based on what we find during consulting.
