8+ years growing search traffic in tough UK and US markets. I work from the data: I find what moves rankings, build a system that keeps producing them, and back every result with the numbers.

What I work on

Common problems, and what the work produces

Where growth gets stuck
Traffic that stopped growing, whatever the team tries
Rankings damaged by a previous agency's shortcuts
A market too small or too niche for the usual playbook
Producing enough good content is too slow and too expensive
No clear read on which marketing efforts drive results
Bigger competitors carrying more trust with Google
What the work produces
3x to 10x organic traffic growth, including in small and niche markets
Head terms on page one, including clusters that sat past position 40
Traffic that turns into leads and sales
Rankings that hold through core updates, 10 of them survived in 2022
Content output raised from 10 texts a month to 10 a day, at 12x lower cost
A system the in-house team keeps running after handover

40+ → Top-10
A UK broker's high-volume "car finance" cluster, in 4 months
Month 1: ranking climbingMonth 2Month 3: entering top-10Month 4: top-10 reachedPost-update: position held
What was doneAudited why the site had stalled short of page one, then redesigned the homepage around the main money keyword, rebuilt a natural anchor-text profile across existing backlinks, added author bios and trust signals to close the E-E-A-T gap with bigger competitors, and tightened internal linking to the priority page.
ResultThese are high-competition head terms: "car finance" alone runs ~74K searches a month. The cluster's pages had sat past position 40, invisible and drawing no clicks; in 4 months they broke into the UK top-10, where impressions and traffic jumped. Positions held through a Google core update.

ResultDaily organic traffic grew 9x, from 155 to 1,424 visits, while surviving 10 Google algorithm updates through 2022.

900%
Steady 900% traffic growth for a video editing platform over 18 months
Month 1Month 6Month 9Month 12Month 15Month 18: 900% growth
What was donePushed 50–80 keyword-difficulty terms into the top-3 to drive subscription growth, built new narrow-intent pages to cover more related keywords, ran multilanguage optimization across ES/PT/FR/IT/DE/PL, built anchor links for the most competitive terms, optimized page speed, refined on-page copy, and separately optimized strictly-tool pages with zero content strategy behind them.
Result900% traffic growth over 18 months of slow, steady compounding, plus a 12% profit increase from ad-banner clicks driven purely by the page-speed work.
0→20K
Fastest-growing UK health insurance site, outpacing sites built in the pre-AI era
LaunchMonth 4Month 7Month 10Month 12: 20K trafficClient sells shareNew team: gradual decline
What was doneBuilt the site from scratch: collected and clustered 20,000+ keywords for service and blog pages, built topical authority, optimized service pages end to end (copy, internal links, CTAs, an E-E-A-T audit, and CRO), prepared copy briefs for copywriters, interlinked blog and service content, and built out the funnel top to bottom, deliberately targeting lower-volume topics competitors skipped, since low search volume didn't mean low traffic.
ResultGrew from 0 to 20K monthly traffic in 1 year: 800 keywords in the top-10, 300 in the top-3. The engagement ended when the client sold their share of the business; rankings gradually declined under the new team after each subsequent update.
500+ websites
Local-SERP domination strategy, scaled
Built and rolled out one local-business SEO strategy across 500+ client websites: the same 5-step system, repeated site after site.
Keyword research
Collected the local commercial keyword set for each service across the target cities.
City selection
Picked target cities on demand, competition and client coverage, so each site went after the locations it could win.
Content at scale
Templated landing copy for the service × city matrix and mass-produced it, holding quality consistent across thousands of pages.
Competitor analysis
Read the local SERP leaders city by city (page structure, GBP signals, link profile) and folded the findings back into the template.
CTR optimization
Rewrote titles, snippets and breadcrumb paths from Search Console data to lift click-through on the positions already won.
Result3–5 client sites in the top-10 for one and the same local keyword. Page one occupied, taking the majority of the clicks in that SERP.
