SEO Consulting Services: Senior Strategic Guidance for In-House Teams
Ongoing strategic guidance — a second set of expert eyes on your organic growth decisions.
Most in-house teams don't lack execution capacity — they lack someone senior enough to tell them what actually matters. SEO Consulting is ongoing strategic input: reviewing your team's plans, catching mistakes before they ship, and keeping your roadmap tied to what's actually moving rankings.
What this covers
- Monthly strategy calls reviewing performance, priorities and blockers
- Review of content briefs, technical specs and CRO changes before they ship
- Direct Slack or email access for quick questions between calls
- Quarterly deep-dive on algorithm changes relevant to your site
- Sanity-checking of agency or freelancer recommendations
How it works
What you'll receive
Monthly Calls
A standing call reviewing what's working, what's not, and what to prioritize next.
Direct Access
Slack or email access between calls — no waiting for the next scheduled session.
Second Opinion
A senior sanity-check on decisions before they ship, not after.
The roadmap review process here follows the same business-goal-first approach laid out in our guide to SEO strategy — the difference is who's driving. Strategy work builds the roadmap from scratch; consulting reviews and sanity-checks a roadmap your team is already building.
Consulting takes a few months to hit its full stride — building a genuine shared understanding of your site, team, and priorities is what makes it possible to catch issues early rather than after they ship.

Yes — many clients use this specifically to sanity-check outside vendors, not replace them.
Three months, since strategic input needs a full cycle to show its value. Month-to-month after that.
Yes — consulting sometimes surfaces an issue substantial enough to warrant a dedicated audit or hands-on implementation work. When that happens, it's scoped as its own piece of work rather than folded quietly into the retainer.
