👋 Hey, I'm Colin

A Freelance SEO Consultant & WordPress Specialist

I've been building and ranking websites for 20+ years. I use WordPress for new builds and optimise any platform for SEO.

I'll get straight to it 🚀 I'm here to add value to your business and to collaborate closely with you and your team to ensure your website performs and achieves its goals. You can think of me as your in-house web and SEO consultant, working as an extension to your company or organisation.

I'm a UK-based freelance SEO consultant and WordPress expert with 20+ years of experience, including agency-side and freelance roles. Based in Bournemouth, I've worked with creatives, marketing teams, entrepreneurs, and businesses of all sizes.

Over the years, I've contributed to WordPress builds and SEO projects for well-known brands, including The Furniture Market, England Netball, St John's Ambulance, GoodOaks Home Care, Crowdfunder, Aqua Stewardship Council, and New York Bakery Co.

I provide SEO services for any platform, including WordPress, Shopify, and custom CMS setups. I also build new WordPress sites from scratch and offer ongoing WordPress development and support, perfect for clients who need both SEO expertise and technical delivery under one roof.

🔍 I'm a Freelance SEO Consultant

I'm an SEO specialist with a background in web development. I don't just understand technical SEO, I live and breathe it. From information architecture to structured data and site speed to complex migrations and indexing issues, I bring a level of technical insight and implementation that most SEOs can't offer.

I work on both sides of the SEO spectrum, delivering comprehensive website builds with SEO integrated from day one, and providing ongoing SEO strategy and implementation for established websites. Explore recent projects and services below.

📈 My SEO Freelancer Services

As a freelance SEO consultant I offer the following services:

A complete health check for your website, I'll uncover what's broken, slowing you down, or blocking your rankings. From crawl errors to poor linking structures, you'll get a clear action plan without any guesswork.

It's not about cramming in the most-searched words. I find the terms your real customers use and match them to the right pages. From quick-wins to long-term search strategy, I'll map out where each one belongs.

Selling online? I optimise product pages, category listings, and seasonal campaigns to ensure they work effectively for both Google and your customers. I've delivered results on WooCommerce, Shopify, and fully custom platforms.

Switching platforms or domains? I've managed smooth migrations between WordPress, Shopify, Magento, and bespoke builds without losing traffic. Redirects, metadata and indexing checks are all covered from day one.

Technical SEO is all about making your site optimal for search engines to read and index. I streamline code, fix crawl issues, improve load times, and structure your pages so Google can understand and rank them.

I create content that connects with your audience and gets noticed by search engines. From persuasive service pages to keyword-rich product descriptions and blog posts, every piece is designed to rank and convert.

I solve WordPress-specific SEO problems that can hold your site back. That means fixing slow load times, resolving theme and plugin issues, reducing index bloat, and improving technical setup, so your site runs fast.

Shopify's flat URL structure and default settings can limit your search potential if left untouched. I optimise your store's collections and product pages, refine site structure, improve speed, and target the right keywords.

🖥 I'm a WordPress Expert

I build bespoke WordPress websites that are fast, flexible and built to perform.

My WordPress development services cover everything from custom Gutenberg components and complex content structures to third-party API integrations and WooCommerce development, creating solutions that go well beyond a standard WordPress build. 💪

My development workflow uses modern tools and practices, including Gutenberg, ACF, Twig, WP-CLI, version control, package management and automated Git deployments.

I regularly work from Figma designs, taking projects from prototype through to responsive, production-ready WordPress websites. I’m equally comfortable jumping into existing platforms, workflows and page builders to improve, extend and maintain them.
