SEO process
My SEO process, step by step
How I take a website from audit to steady growth in search, what you can expect each month and what I need from you to get started.
Step by step
Four steps from audit to results
01
Step 1: Audit
I start by reviewing your website, your rankings and your competitors. I crawl the site the way Google does, check your Search Console data and look at what top-ranking competitors are doing differently.
You get
- A full SEO audit
- A list of quick wins
- A clear picture of where you stand
02
Step 2: Strategy
Together we agree on goals, target keywords and the pages that matter most. I turn the audit into a prioritised action plan, so we both know what will happen and in what order.
You get
- A keyword-to-page map
- A prioritised action plan
- Agreed goals to measure against

Step 3: Implement
I work through the plan in order of impact: technical fixes first, then on-page improvements, content and links. Where a change needs your approval or your developer, I explain exactly what’s needed.
You get
- Technical and on-page fixes
- Content and link building
- Updates as work is completed
04
Step 4: Report & refine
You get regular reports on rankings, organic traffic and enquiries, written in plain language. I review what is working and adjust the plan, because SEO is never one-and-done.
You get
- Plain-language reports
- Clear next steps
- A plan that adapts to results

- Access to your website (WordPress or another CMS)
- Access to Google Search Console and Google Analytics, or help setting them up
- A short call about your business, your customers and your goals
- Quick answers when a change needs your approval

FAQ
Questions about the process
How long does SEO take to show results?
SEO builds over time. Technical fixes can have an effect within weeks, but most websites need a few months of steady work before rankings and traffic grow noticeably. The timeline depends on your competition, the current state of your site and how quickly changes can be made.
How will I know SEO is working?
You get regular reports in plain language covering rankings, organic traffic and the enquiries that come from search, plus what was done and what is planned next. Your Google Search Console and Analytics data stays in your own accounts, so you can always check it yourself.
What do you need from me to get started?
Usually access to your website, Google Search Console and Google Analytics, plus a short conversation about your business, your customers and your goals.
Will SEO work for a brand-new website?
Yes, but it takes longer because a new site has no history or links yet. The best approach is to target specific, lower-competition searches first, get the technical basics right from day one and build authority steadily.
