SEO Consulting Process

What is it like to work with an SEO consultant?

Above all, I strive to make the SEO consulting process as easy as possible and provide education throughout to help you understand how your SEO is working to help your business succeed. While each process is unique to each client, I generally follow this process.

Step One

Inital SEO Consultation

We start off with an initial consultation to take a quick peek under the hood of your website and SEO to make recommendations about how you can achieve your business goals with SEO. I get to know you and your goals, the competitor landscape, and what you’ve done so far to improve rankings. You’ll end the consultation with a clear picture of what’s required for success and to improve your search traffic. Consultations typically last 45 minutes.

Step Two

Develop an SEO Consulting Plan

After our SEO consultation, I’ll develop a plan for your SEO goals that addresses the most important factors for your traffic improvement. We typically start off with a kick off call to discuss your unique SEO plan developed for your business and get clarity on the big picture of what work will be done, when you can expect progress, and anything required of you throughout the process.

Step Three

SEO Consulting Work

Depending on the kind of SEO work being done, I create a production calendar for you to follow along with that includes any approval deadlines and progress goals along the way. SEO is a constantly evolving process and I make adjustments to SEO plans throughout the work, as needed, to help your business get the best results with your search marketing. My marketing team may also work on your project, giving you the full capabilities of an SEO agency with the accountability and approach of a consultant.

Step Four

SEO Reporting & Transparency

Transparency is paramount to SEO success on both ends of our partnership. I check in with you throughout our engagement at regular intervals to talk through SEO progress and take into account business plans, marketing campaigns, and other information that impacts SEO. I help you understand the impact of SEO work on organic search results and how your search engine rankings are improving. Additional factors like conversion rates, business awareness metrics, and other insight also helps you understand the financial impact of SEO for your business.

Common Questions About SEO Consulting Services

SEO consulting tends to focus on one-time or limited-scope engagements focused on solving a specific problem related to rankings or best practices.

Who generally needs consulting services?

  • You’re experiencing a specific problem, like a sudden traffic drop, a new site design causing SEO issues, or progressive decrease in traffic despite your best efforts
  • You want help with a one-time project, like a site audit, backlink audit, site migration, analysis, or strategy development
  • You have your own team of marketers who can implement an SEO plan but you need to know what to do from an pro
  • You need help with a specific campaign or engagement with a time-limited element

Consulting services aren’t the same as ongoing SEO, which focuses on improving SEO through content creation, link building, and ongoing technical fixes. Typically clients who need monthly SEO services don’t have a marketing team and are looking to outsource professional SEO services. I also offer an SEO Roadmap for people who want to DIY their SEO and Google Ads consulting for comprehensive search marketing.

There are a lot of factors that go into how much SEO needs to be done for your website to improve rankings, including the current state of your SEO, your competitors' SEO, your business goals, and other factors that influence rankings. Since SEO is entirely relative to your competitors, what your competitors are doing for SEO is a good gauge of how much SEO needs to be done.

I start off with an initial consultation where I take a look at the current state of your website, SEO, and the competitor landscape to make informed recommendations about what you need to do. Usually, I can make a recommendation of which services are right for you in a few minutes, thanks to lots of experience working with a variety of businesses across a number of industries. I also make sure that you fully understand the package options, SEO process, pricing, and how long it may take to see results.

I price my SEO consulting services based on the scope of the project and the complexity of the work. After an initial consultation, I create a customized consulting package that outlines the work that will be done, costs, and timelines individual to your business.

My SEO consulting packages vary in cost but are designed to be an affordable SEO package for most businesses while delivering a high quality of work. My team is also in-house so the work is under my direction and members of my team have been personally trained and mentored by me.

We’re based in Arkansas, which allows me to charge a lower rate than some of my competitors while still providing a high level of service (because the cost of living here is great!).

Throughout our work together, you’ll interact directly with me and occasionally with members of my team. My team is entirely in-house and work is completed under my supervision. One of my core business values is that my SEO agency provides quality for my clients and a great place to work for my employees.

Not all SEO agencies are designed that way and many outsource work while charging a premium to you for low quality work. Ask who will be actually doing the work and what supervision is like throughout the SEO consulting process—what you learn might surprise you.
