eCommerce · Fashion retail · AU / UK / US

How I work

A clear process, from first look to fixed

  1. Strategy First

    Every engagement starts with research — your business, your audience, your competitors and your current site — before I recommend anything. No templated 12-month plans handed out before I've looked at your actual data.

  2. Hands-On Delivery

    I do the work myself: technical fixes, content, local optimisation, reporting. No juniors learning on your account, no work quietly outsourced overseas.

  3. Honest Reporting

    Clear monthly reports covering traffic, rankings, enquiries and revenue, with plain-English explanations of what changed and why. No jargon, no padded decks.

  4. Built for What's Next

    Search now includes AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini alongside traditional results. I build visibility across all of it, not just the classic ten blue links.

If you’re looking to boost your website’s visibility online, then SEO (Search Engine Optimization) could be the answer you’re searching for. SEO focuses on enhancing your website’s visibility in search engine results pages by using specific keywords that potential customers are searching for.

To achieve this goal, an effective SEO strategy requires thorough research to identify the keywords that your target audience is using, understanding the intent of these keywords and what search engines are trying to show users.
