Freelancer vs agency
What you get from a freelance SEO consultant
When you hire an agency, the strategist who wins the pitch is rarely the person who does the work. Accounts are passed to junior executives, communication runs through an account manager, and a large share of your fee pays for offices, sales teams and management layers.
As a freelancer, my time goes on your website. I do the audit, write the plan, fix the technical problems, create the content, build the links and report on results. When you have a question, you message me and get an answer from the person who knows your site best.
The trade-off is capacity: I take on a limited number of monthly clients so each one gets proper attention. If I am full, I will tell you when I next have space rather than rush the work.

FAQs
Freelance SEO consultant: FAQs
What does a freelance SEO consultant do?
A freelance SEO consultant plans and carries out the work needed to improve a website’s search rankings: audits, technical fixes, content, local SEO and link building. Unlike an agency, one experienced person handles your account from start to finish.
How much does a freelance SEO consultant cost in Liverpool?
UK freelancers typically charge £40–£80 an hour or £300–£1,500 a month. My monthly SEO starts at £399, and my hourly consulting rate is £50.
Is a freelancer or an agency better for SEO?
For most small and medium Liverpool businesses, an experienced freelancer offers better value and more senior attention. Agencies suit very large campaigns that need many people working in parallel, such as big PR or paid media alongside SEO.
What happens if you are on holiday or ill?
Holidays are planned around client work and agreed in advance. Your monthly deliverables are scheduled so they are never missed, and you always have access to your own data, logins and reports.
Can I meet you in person?
Yes. I work from Liverpool Innovation Park on Edge Lane and regularly meet clients across Liverpool and the City Region, or by video call if that is easier.
