Search Engine Optimisation
Technical SEO, content strategy, structured data and schema markup, and local SEO. Built around search intent and commercial outcomes — not keyword density.
Independent Digital Marketing Consultant
20+ years across in-house, agency, and freelance. I work with UK brands to build digital marketing tied to revenue — not just reach.
About
I'm an independent digital marketing consultant with over 20 years of experience across in-house marketing roles, agency-side strategy, and long-term freelance engagements. Previous in-house experience includes Edrington Group and Energy Saving Trust; current clients are primarily UK-based SMEs and established brands.
My methodology is straightforward: audit what exists, fix the fundamentals, then scale what the data supports. I don't recommend channels for their own sake — only where the commercial case is clear and measurable.
Clients come to me when they need someone who sees across SEO, paid search, paid social, and analytics simultaneously — and who can give a straight answer on where their budget is best placed.

How I work
Every engagement starts with an honest assessment — traffic, spend, attribution, and conversion. No assumptions, no generic recommendations.
Tracking gaps, structural account issues, and technical blockers addressed first. Scaling broken campaigns wastes budget faster.
Campaigns, content, and dashboards built to a clear brief. Ongoing testing with a bias for commercial outcomes — ROAS, CAC, and CLV over vanity metrics.
Clear reporting against agreed KPIs. Strategy adapts as the data evolves. What's working, what isn't, and what's next — every month.
