I’m Naeem, an SEO Freelancer London, Businesses hire me when they want one senior person on the account instead of a team of five — the same person who runs the audit, writes the strategy, fixes the technical problems and picks up the phone when traffic dips. No account manager relay. Whether you need SEO freelance London support or the same thing remotely from anywhere in Britain.
UK sites audited
campaigns run end to end
median organic growth over 12 months
Most people who contact me say the same thing: “We’re on page three and nobody can tell us why.” Sometimes it’s boring. A migration dropped 400 redirects. A theme update stripped the H1s. A previous agency bought 200 links from Fiverr and the site’s been suppressed since. Other times the content exists but answers a question nobody’s asking.
Freelance SEO London services suit companies with a real business that now need search to pull its weight — SMEs feeding a sales team, ecommerce brands watching Meta costs climb, firms in Central London competing against five identical rivals in one postcode. As an SEO consultant London businesses brief directly, I sit inside your team rather than reporting into it.
Paid acquisition gets pricier every quarter. Organic compounds instead: the page you fix now still earns in three years, and you’re not renting the click each time.
AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity pull from the same pool as Google — crawlable, credible, well-structured pages. Generative Engine Optimisation isn’t a secret discipline, despite what LinkedIn says.
Three things did change. Answers get extracted rather than clicked, so being the cited source matters. Entity clarity beats keyword repetition. And quotable structure wins: clear definitions, real numbers, proper schema, a named author. AEO work is built into everything I do, not sold as an extra.
Agencies earn their fee when you need six specialists at once — enterprise migrations, fifteen-market rollouts, daily publishing. That’s a team job.
For everyone else the maths rarely works. A £2,500 retainer typically buys eight to twelve hours of senior thinking; the rest funds account management and offices. Hire a freelance SEO expert UK businesses can reach directly and that ratio flips.
There’s also nowhere for me to hide. Flat traffic in month six means you’re talking to the person responsible, not the person summarising them.
Seven services, sold individually or combined into one roadmap. Full detail on each dedicated page.
A prioritised plan built from how your buyers actually search — not a spreadsheet of 800 keywords.
Deliverables: keyword and intent map · competitor gap analysis · 6–12 month calendar · internal linking architecture · cannibalisation report
Ideal for: teams producing content who can’t prove it’s working.
Pages written for someone in a hurry and slightly sceptical. British English, your real pricing, written by me.
Deliverables: researched pages 800–2,500 words · titles and metas · schema-ready FAQs · internal links · two revision rounds
Ideal for: service businesses, SaaS and ecommerce needing copy that converts as well as it ranks.
Replatforming without losing what you’ve built. I join at the planning stage, not after launch day goes wrong.
Deliverables: pre-launch benchmark · URL-level redirect mapping · staging audit · developer review · launch monitoring · 30-day recovery report
Ideal for: anyone replatforming, rebranding or merging sites.
Technical and on-page diagnosis, including a full SEO content audit that scores every URL against three years of data.
Deliverables: URL inventory with scoring · keep/improve/merge/remove calls · duplication mapping · decay analysis · redirect plan
Ideal for: sites over 100 pages carrying legacy blog content.
Crawl waste, empty category pages and duplicate product copy, fixed at template level rather than one page at a time.
Deliverables: crawl budget strategy · category optimisation · product and review schema · stock handling policy · template speed work
Ideal for: retailers over £250k who’ve outgrown plugin-level SEO, and any SEO consultant for ecommerce brief that’s stalled.
Map pack visibility, done properly. Category choice alone moves more than most people expect.
Deliverables: Google Business Profile optimisation · citation cleanup · location pages · review workflow · postcode-level competitor analysis
Ideal for: trades, clinics, solicitors and estate agents — anyone whose customers search “SEO consultant near me” style local queries.
Organic SEO services priced for a business that isn’t venture-funded. A proper audit, ten fixes that matter, and help or instructions.
Deliverables: focused audit in plain English · top ten priority fixes · realistic keyword targets · profile setup · tracking configured · one hour of training
Ideal for: owner-run businesses and teams under ten needing an SEO expert for small business work, not enterprise theatre.
Two weeks of diagnosis. Full crawl, three years of Search Console and GA4, log files where available, Core Web Vitals from field data rather than lab scores. Plus what tools miss — does your commercial copy answer the question a buyer is holding? You get findings ranked by impact and a walkthrough call.
An audit that isn’t sequenced is an expensive list of complaints. Work splits into quick fixes, quarterly structural jobs and the compounding stuff. No point commissioning twenty pages while the site can’t be crawled. Your developer gets tickets in their tracker, not a PDF they’ll ignore.
Two-week cycles rather than a monthly report. We agree what ships, you get a written mid-cycle check-in, nothing waits for a scheduled call. When an update lands or priorities shift, we adapt in a fortnight instead of renegotiating a year-long plan.
A live Looker Studio dashboard wired to GA4, Search Console and your CRM. Enquiries and revenue lead; rankings are diagnostic. Monthly commentary explains what moved — not “we published four blogs” but “March’s rewrites now drive 22% of form fills, so we’re applying that structure to the rest.” See conversion tracking and GA4 setup.
Eight reasons clients give when I ask why they stayed. I’m a technical SEO freelancer first, which shapes most of them.
Every recommendation traces to something measurable. No number, no suggestion.
Same dashboards, documents and time logs I use. What didn’t work goes in the report too.
Nine years as a UK SEO consultant — British SERPs, British directories, British English.
Conversion tracking is fixed before the first optimisation ships.
Entity work, structured data and citable content built in as standard.
Log files, JS rendering, crawl budget. Straight answers when your CTO asks a hard question.
One number, one thread, same-day weekday replies. Never handed to a new starter.
Nothing I’d be embarrassed to explain to a Google engineer. You can leave without collapsing.
More on my background and certifications: nine years in UK search.
Published openly, because an SEO specialist London businesses can’t get a straight number from isn’t worth calling.
Full technical and on-page audit, keyword research, competitor benchmark, GA4 and Search Console health check.

Rolling monthly, 30 days’ notice.

Maintenance: technical monitoring · Core Web Vitals · index and crawl error triage · algorithm update analysis

Global and international SEO across multiple domains or markets · hreflang architecture and localisation · dedicated search engine optimisation consultant with guaranteed capacity · forecast modelling and share-of-voice reporting · BigQuery-backed dashboards · in-house training and technical due diligence.
Ideal client: multi-market businesses, 10,000+ URLs, or internal teams needing senior direction.
No SEO freelancer London can promise you position one, and nobody credible tries. This is the shape of a normal engagement; yours will differ by starting point, competition and how fast your team ships.
Core updates happen. A stable channel means recovering faster than the people around you. See real UK client results.
Most are London businesses buying freelance SEO London support. The rest hire me as an SEO consultant UK companies work with remotely — SEO freelance UK engagements run identically, just over video instead of coffee.

£500 for the audit sprint, £800 a month ongoing, custom for enterprise. London market rates run £500–£5,000. Under £300 buys automated reports, not strategy.
Three to six months for meaningful movement, six to twelve for results that change how you see the channel. Speed depends on domain history, competition, technical debt and how fast your team implements.
If you need senior thinking rather than volume output, yes. A freelance SEO expert UK businesses hire directly gives you more hours of experienced work per pound. If you need forty pages a month, hire an agency.
Diagnoses why a site underperforms, then fixes it — technical issues, content strategy, on-page work, local visibility and links. Plus reporting that ties organic to enquiries rather than to rankings.
Most of your budget buys senior hours rather than overheads, and you talk to the person doing the work. It’s also easier to leave — no lock-in protecting someone’s revenue forecast.
They’re most of my client base, from Shoreditch startups to clinics in North London. London SERPs shift by neighbourhood, so ranking for “accountant Clapham” usually earns more than “accountant London”.
It’s the part I enjoy most. Crawl budget, indexation, architecture, Core Web Vitals, JavaScript rendering, schema, hreflang, log files. Tickets go straight into your developer’s tracker.
Yes, as standard. GEO and AEO share most foundations with traditional SEO — the differences are extractable answers, entity clarity and author credibility. See AI search optimisation and GEO services.
The £500 sprint is exactly that. Prioritisation is what separates a useful audit from a worthless one — tools hand you 400 “issues”, most of which don’t matter.
I cut the risk substantially; I’d distrust anyone claiming to eliminate it. Well-planned migrations dip 5–15% briefly, then recover. Bring me in at planning, not after launch.
It’s usually the best lead source a local business has, because “near me” searchers are ready to buy. Map pack presence plus a decent landing page typically beats paid social on cost per enquiry.
Usually the fastest return available — categories, services, reviews, citations and location content. Check your primary category today; it’s wrong more often than you’d think.
Often your highest-margin channel. Category pages carry more commercial volume than most owners expect, and search data doubles as merchandising insight.
Both write and advise. Two to four pieces monthly in the retainer, in British English, written by me. Have an in-house writer? I’ll brief them instead — better value.
They’re votes of confidence, and quality beats volume comfortably. Digital PR, journalist requests, genuine directories, partnerships. No PBNs, no paid placements. Every link disclosed.
Revenue and qualified enquiries first; everything else is diagnostic. Tracking gets configured before optimisation starts, because bad data produces confident, wrong decisions.
Everything transfers to you on payment, permanently, no licence or clawback. Accounts stay in your name. If you leave, you keep it all.
About half my clients are outside the M25, so SEO freelance UK work is a standing part of the business. Regional markets often offer better value — less competition, and firms that haven’t invested seriously in search.
No pitch deck. I’ll have crawled your site and arrive with two or three specific observations. If SEO isn’t right for you, I’ll say so — sometimes paid search management is the better first move.
No. Rolling monthly, 30 days’ notice. Twelve-month lock-ins protect the agency’s forecast, not your results. I do ask for a quarter before you judge it.
Frequently. Tickets in their format, calls direct with them. Paid media teams too — their conversion data sharpens organic targeting.
Wait for the rollout to finish before concluding anything, then segment damage by page type and intent. Sites built on quality usually recover. Retainer clients get this included.
Recovery is a decent share of my work and rarely hopeless — toxic links, thin content, botched migrations. First step is a manual action check. Timeline: three to nine months.
Based in London, covering Central, North, South, East and West London in person and the rest of the country remotely. Clients in Glasgow or Cardiff get the same service as the London ones — they just miss out on the coffee.
SEO is one of nine channels I plan and run together. See how it connects to the rest on the digital marketing services hub — or read why one digital marketing strategist across every channel beats four separate suppliers.
Book a 30-minute call. I’ll crawl your site beforehand and turn up with two or three specific things I’ve noticed. You tell me what you sell and what growth looks like in numbers. Between us we work out whether organic is worth your money right now.
Sometimes it isn’t, and I’ll say so. Unhappy clients don’t refer anyone.
If it does make sense, you’ll leave knowing what I’d do first, what it costs and when you’d see something. No contract, no pitch deck — just a conversation with the SEO freelancer London firms call when the last agency didn’t work out.
