Search engine optimisation is the work of making your website the best answer Google can show for the searches your customers make.

Freelancer vs agency
Why Liverpool businesses choose a freelance SEO consultant
Most SEO agencies in Liverpool sell a senior strategist in the pitch and then hand your account to a junior executive. With me, the person you meet is the person who audits your site, writes the plan, fixes the technical issues and reports to you every month.
Because there is no agency overhead, you pay for SEO work rather than office space and account management. That is how my prices sit around 50% below the typical Liverpool agency retainer without cutting the work itself.
| Waseem Ali (freelance) | Typical Liverpool agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | Senior consultant, 10+ years | Often a junior executive |
| Monthly SEO from | £399 | £800–£2,500 |
| Contract | Rolling monthly, 30 days’ notice | Often 6–12 months |
| Point of contact | Direct phone and WhatsApp | Account manager |
| Reporting | Monthly, with Search Console data | Monthly dashboard |
| Response time | Same working day | 1–3 working days |

Local knowledge
SEO built around how Liverpool searches
Liverpool is not one market. A café on Bold Street, a solicitor in the Commercial District, a digital studio in the Baltic Triangle and a trades business in Kirkby each compete in a different search landscape. The map pack changes from one postcode to the next, so a plan that works for L1 can fail in CH41 or WA8.
I build every campaign around the searches that happen in your part of the City Region: the areas you serve, the local terms people use and the competitors who actually show up for them. That is why this site has a dedicated page for each of the 58 areas I cover.
AI search
Be the answer in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT
More Liverpool customers now ask AI tools for recommendations before they click a website. Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity choose sources that rank well, answer the question directly and show clear expertise.
My SEO work covers these answer engines too: answer-first page structure, entity-rich content, schema markup and a consistent business profile across the web. One law firm site I manage is currently cited in 40 Google AI Overviews.
Transparent pricing
SEO prices in Liverpool, published
None of the top-ranking Liverpool SEO agencies publish their prices. I do, so you can budget before we speak. All prices are fixed monthly fees with no set-up charges.
| Service | Typical agency | My price |
|---|---|---|
| Local SEO | £800–£1,200/month | £399/month |
| Growth SEO | £1,200–£2,000/month | £699/month |
| Ecommerce / competitive SEO | £2,000–£3,000/month | £999/month |
| One-off SEO audit | £300–£1,000 | £299 |
| Google Business Profile set-up | £400–£1,200 | £249 |

FAQs
SEO services in Liverpool: common questions
How much do SEO services cost in Liverpool?
Most Liverpool SEO agencies charge £800–£2,500 a month. My monthly SEO starts at £399 for local SEO, £699 for growth SEO and £999 for ecommerce or competitive sectors, which is roughly half the typical agency rate. A one-off SEO audit is £299. Every price is fixed and agreed in writing before work starts.
How long does SEO take to work?
Most Liverpool businesses see the first ranking and map-pack movement within 6–12 weeks, with meaningful lead growth between months 3 and 6. The immigration law firm in my case studies went from 489 to 8,960 organic clicks in 6 months. Competitive terms and new websites take longer.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No. Nobody controls Google’s algorithm, and anyone guaranteeing a position is guessing. What I do guarantee is transparent work: a written plan, a monthly report showing exactly what was done, and rankings, clicks and enquiries tracked in Google Search Console.
Why hire a freelance SEO consultant instead of an agency?
You deal directly with the person doing the work. There is no account manager, no junior hand-off and no agency overhead, which is why my prices are about 50% lower than typical Liverpool agency retainers. You get senior-level SEO with 10+ years of experience on every task.
Where are you based?
I work from Liverpool Innovation Park on Edge Lane, Fairfield, Liverpool L7 9NJ. I am happy to meet clients in person across Liverpool and the City Region, or on a video call.
Which areas do you cover?
Every part of the Liverpool City Region: all Liverpool districts from the city centre and Baltic Triangle to Speke and Croxteth, plus Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens, Wirral and Halton. See the full list on the areas page.
Is SEO still worth it now that AI answers questions?
Yes. Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity pull their answers from pages that already rank and are clearly structured. SEO now includes optimising for those citations. One law firm site I manage is cited in 40 Google AI Overviews.
Do you tie clients into long contracts?
No. Monthly SEO runs on a rolling monthly agreement with 30 days’ notice. I recommend a minimum of 6 months to judge results fairly, but you are never locked in.
