ANALYSIS / SEO / WEB DESIGN

Search marketing.
Clear thinking.

Analysis, SEO, and web design for businesses that want to understand what works.

Let’s talk

Analysis

Turn website and search data into clear, practical recommendations.

More

I look at how people find your business, what they do on your website, and where the data points to opportunities or problems.

  • Website and search performance analysis using Google Analytics and Search Console.
  • Research into customer questions, competitors, and search topics that matter to your business.
  • Clear recommendations, with the evidence and limitations explained, so you can decide what to do next.

SEO

Improve search visibility through useful content, sound technical work, and a sustained approach.

More

I help local service businesses become easier to find in search, with a particular focus on independent medical practices.

  • Technical audits, on-page improvements, and internal linking.
  • Content planning, research, writing, and editing based on what your customers need to know.
  • Local search work, including Google Business Profile, directory consistency, and review collection.
  • Media outreach and opportunities to earn relevant mentions and links.
  • Performance reporting to help us decide what to work on next.

Web design

Design and build focused, accessible websites that are easy to use and maintain.

More

I build straightforward websites that explain your business clearly and help visitors take the next step.

  • Clear structure, readable copy, and layouts for phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
  • WordPress builds using Kadence, or lightweight Astro sites when a static site fits the project.
  • Contact forms, analytics setup, and a foundation for articles and search landing pages.
  • Website migrations with attention to existing content, URLs, and redirects.
