His digital journey started at just nine years old, creating digital assets and getting them to rank before he even knew what SEO was.

His content and insights have reached marketers and businesses in nearly every country worldwide.

What exactly do I do?

In a nutshell, I help businesses reach their target audience effectively through search engine optimisation. Since the pandemic, online competition has skyrocketed in pretty much every industry. My job is to help websites get higher rankings, targeted traffic and more leads.

I’ve been in the SEO industry for several years - working both in-house and at agencies. I know what it takes to learn about a business, identify SEO opportunities and communicate how best to implement them. Currently, I’m collaborating with WhitePress as their Head of Marketing and Growth (UK).

As an SEO consultant, I love helping people improve their websites organically. I’ve spent countless hours creating content that helps people, from blog posts and YouTube videos to my latest SEO book. I also regularly contribute my advice to some of the largest industry publications, and have been featured in the likes of Semrush, Search Engine Land, and Search Engine Journal.

Industries I've Worked Across

Over 15+ years and 100+ brands, I've delivered SEO across a wide range of industries. The methodology stays consistent - understand how people search, build the strongest answer on the web, and prove credibility - but every sector has its own competitive landscape, and knowing those landscapes first-hand is what separates strategy from guesswork.

🛍️ Ecommerce & Retail

From household sportswear names to specialist DTC stores, I've grown organic revenue across Shopify, Magento and WooCommerce builds - category architecture, product content and the technical work underneath. See my ecommerce SEO services.

💻 SaaS & Technology

I've worked directly with Wix on the platform's SEO functionality, and with software brands from seed stage upwards on the comparison, integration and content strategies that drive signups. See SaaS SEO.

💳 Fintech & Financial Services

Working with brands from startups to £1B+ enterprises has included financial services - a sector where YMYL standards, compliance and aggregator competition demand a different playbook. See fintech SEO.

✈️ Travel

I've advised established travel businesses including a 4-million-visitor independent travel site, where I presented to travel industry leaders on how AI is changing travel search. See travel SEO.

🎓 Higher Education

My work with Brunel University London and Northumbria University covered international student recruitment, course page visibility and institutional brand authority in one of the most competitive search spaces there is.

⚖️ Legal & Professional Services

Law firms, consultancies and accountancy practices all sell trust, and my professional services work centres on practice-area depth, local visibility and the credentials Google expects. See law firm and accountant SEO.

🩺 Healthcare

Healthcare providers face Google's strictest content standards, and my work in the sector builds the expertise signals, medical review processes and local presence that YMYL rankings demand. See healthcare SEO.

🏢 B2B & Enterprise

Long sales cycles, buying committees and template-level SEO at scale - I've worked inside organisations up to £1B+ and know how to get SEO shipped in big companies. See B2B and enterprise SEO.
