My Story
SEO that's built on experience, not promises
I started out in digital marketing back in 2006, long before "SEO" was a household term. Over the years I've worked with everyone from small local tradespeople in Norfolk to national brands needing specialist ecommerce SEO - and the lesson has always been the same: sustainable growth comes from understanding your audience and giving Google a reason to trust you.
I'm based in Thetford and run an independent SEO consultant in Norfolk - no overheads, no account managers, just me working directly on your site. That means you get honest advice, faster execution, and someone who genuinely cares about your results.
I also handle website migrations — helping businesses move platforms, relaunch sites, or restructure URLs without losing the rankings they've worked hard to build.
Whether you need a SEO consultant in Thetford, an SEO consultant in Bury St Edmunds, or you're an online store looking to grow organic revenue, I'd love to have a no-obligation conversation about what's possible.
Every recommendation I make is tied to a business outcome - more enquiries, more sales, more growth.
You'll always know what I'm doing and why. No black-box mystery. No hiding behind jargon.
You work with me, not a team of juniors. I handle strategy, implementation, and reporting myself.
I build SEO foundations that compound over time, not short-term tactics that collapse with the next algorithm update.
