Hands-On SEO Support From an Experienced Consultant
Organic search can bring a steady flow of potential customers to your website, but only when your SEO is focused on the right commercial goals.
I work directly with businesses to find the issues holding them back and identify the best opportunities for growth. This may include technical SEO, content planning, keyword targeting, digital PR and visibility within AI search results.
You won’t be passed between account managers or junior team members. I’ll develop the strategy, agree the priorities with you and stay involved throughout the campaign.
You can choose focused consultancy for a specific challenge or ongoing SEO management covering strategy, implementation and reporting. The level of support is shaped around your website, internal resources and commercial goals.
Flexible Support Without Agency Layers
My work is supported by trusted specialists when a campaign needs extra content, development or outreach.
This gives you direct access to an experienced consultant, with the added resources needed to deliver the work properly.

Freelance SEO Services Built Around Your Goals
Every website has different challenges, so your SEO campaign shouldn’t come from a fixed package. I’ll review your current performance, identify the strongest opportunities and create a clear plan based on your goals and budget.
Support can include technical SEO, keyword research, content optimisation, digital PR, local or international SEO and AI search optimisation. You can use me for a one-off project or ongoing campaign management.
My Approach as a Freelance SEO Consultant
Good SEO starts with understanding the business behind the website. I’ll look at how you attract customers, which services matter most and where organic search can create genuine commercial value.
Every recommendation will have a clear reason behind it. I’ll explain what needs to change, why it matters and which actions should take priority. You’ll always know what’s being worked on and how it supports your goals.
My approach combines technical SEO, useful content, authority building and AI search optimisation. The aim isn’t a short-lived increase in rankings. It’s stronger visibility that continues to attract the right people over time.
I’m based in Suffolk and work with businesses across London and the rest of the UK.

Paul Lymer
Principal SEO Consultant at Improve Marketing
I’ve worked in marketing and advertising for more than 25 years, including 20 years specialising in digital marketing and SEO.
My career includes senior agency and client-side roles. At Rathbone Media, I led the digital team and managed SEO campaigns across a wide range of sectors. As Marketing Director at Go Ape, I developed digital strategies for one of the UK’s best-known leisure brands.
For almost a decade, I’ve worked directly with businesses through Improve Marketing. I’ve helped established brands, growing companies and smaller businesses improve their search visibility and generate more value from their websites.
That experience shapes how I approach SEO today.
I understand the technical details, but I also know that rankings and traffic only matter when they support wider business goals.
When you work with me, you’ll deal with me directly. I’ll assess your website, create the strategy and remain involved in the work throughout the campaign.

I’ll review your website, competitors, rankings, content, technical performance and existing authority. We’ll also discuss your services, customers and commercial goals.

Why Hire a Freelance SEO Consultant?
Hiring a freelance SEO consultant can be a more personal and cost-effective way to improve your search visibility. You work directly with the person responsible for your strategy, so advice and decisions aren’t passed through layers of account management.
A freelance consultant can also provide more flexible support. The work can be shaped around a single SEO problem, an internal marketing team that needs extra expertise or a complete ongoing campaign.
You still benefit from specialist skills and proven experience, but the service remains focused on your business. I can respond quickly, explain recommendations clearly and adjust the campaign as your priorities change.
The result is a closer working relationship, clearer accountability and an SEO strategy that stays connected to your commercial goals.
COST EFFECTIVE SEO
Work directly with an experienced consultant without the management layers and overheads of a larger agency. Your budget stays focused on the work that improves your website.
SEO EXPERTISE
Benefit from more than 20 years of digital marketing and SEO experience. Your campaign will combine technical insight, content, authority building and AI search optimisation.
AGILE SEO SUPPORT
SEO priorities can change quickly. Freelance support makes it easier to respond to new opportunities, ranking changes, competitor activity and updates within search.
SEO RESULTS
Every recommendation should support a clear goal. I’ll monitor performance, explain what’s changing and keep the campaign focused on rankings, valuable traffic and enquiries.
