He reworked our service pages around what buyers actually search for. Rankings lifted, and the traffic finally turned into enquiries instead of just visits.
When ranking work is the right spend
Search is the slowest channel you can buy and the only one that stops charging per visitor once it works.
You rank for your own name and nothing else
Type your company into Google and there you are. Type what you actually sell and you are nowhere. Every one of those searches is a buyer finding a competitor instead.
Every enquiry arrives with a click charge
Ads work, and they stop the day you stop paying. Nothing you have spent so far is still earning, because none of it built anything you own.
Competitors rank above you and you cannot see why
Their site is not obviously better. Something structural is putting them ahead, and without knowing what it is you cannot argue with it.
You have published content and it changed nothing
Articles went up and no traffic followed. Usually that means they were written for topics nobody searches, or for searches with no buying intent behind them.

How long it honestly takes
This is the timeline that goes in writing before we agree anything, and the one I hold myself to. Anyone promising faster on a domain like yours is selling you something else.
Ranking timeline: months one to three are foundations, movement begins around months three to four, enquiries you can feel arrive from month six, and the work compounds after month nine.
Foundations
First movement
Enquiries you can feel
Compounding
Months one to three are foundations: technical fixes, tracking and the first content, with very little to see. Rankings start shifting around months three to four. Enquiries you can feel in the pipeline arrive from about month six. After that every enquiry gets cheaper than the last, because the work you already paid for keeps running.
What the monthly work includes
From 490 euro a month buys real hours on your site, not a subscription to a dashboard. Here is where the hours go.
Content your buyers search for
Pages and articles mapped to the exact questions your buyers type into Google, written to win the enquiry rather than to fill a blog. For stores that includes product and category pages.
Technical fixes, actually made
Speed, indexing, broken links and messy markup. The unglamorous work that lets Google read your site properly, done rather than handed to you as a list.
Links from places that matter
Earned through work worth citing, not bought, rented or swapped. Slower, and it does not put your site at risk of a penalty that costs more than patience would have.
Tracking set up properly
Search Console and analytics configured under your own email, so you can check what I tell you against the source rather than taking my word for it.
Weekly notes in plain English
Three minutes to read: what was done, what moved, what is next. Not a forty tab dashboard built to look like effort.
A quarterly review of the return
Rankings, traffic and enquiries against what the work cost. If it is not paying, that is the meeting where we say so.
Rather just ask? One question by email or WhatsApp is fine.
What I will not do
Most of the bad reputation this industry has comes from four habits. I have opted out of all of them.
No bought links
Bought links are how sites get penalised, and a penalty costs far more than patience does.
No guarantees of position one
Nobody controls Google, so nobody can honestly guarantee a ranking. Realistic targets go in writing instead.
No locked contracts
Three months to start, because ranking work needs a season to show anything. Then month to month.
No forty tab reports
A report you cannot read is a report designed to stop you asking questions.
Local rankings, if your customers are nearby
If people find businesses like yours on a map, the map results matter more than the blue links. That means a Google Business Profile that is complete and actively looked after, a landing page for each area you serve, and your details kept identical everywhere they appear. Small, boring jobs, and they decide who shows up on the map.
It is part of the monthly retainer when your business serves an area, at no extra cost. For one client in Amsterdam, exactly that work grew phone calls within weeks.
What clients say
Reviews from past client work. Company names stay off the site until I have written permission to print them.

He sorted our Business Profile, built local landing pages and made our details consistent everywhere. Calls from Amsterdam started growing within weeks.
Ready when you are. No form to fill in, and no call required to get started.

A replatform is where rankings are usually lost. This one kept them: same domain, 739 redirects, 68 collections remapped.
Fair questions about hiring a freelance SEO consultant
How long until I see results?
Foundations take the first three months: technical fixes, tracking and the first content. Rankings usually start to shift in months three to four, and enquiries you can feel in the pipeline arrive from about month six. A new domain in a competitive market takes longer.
What is the difference between the two prices?
490 euro a month covers the technical work, one article a month and the reporting. 950 euro covers three articles, link building and a quarterly strategy review. Both run month to month after a three month start.
Why will you not guarantee a ranking?
Because nobody can. Google changes its results constantly and no outsider controls them. Anyone who guarantees position one is either lying or planning tricks that get sites penalised. I put realistic targets in writing instead and report against them every week.
What if it does not work?
Then the work stops, and it costs you the current month rather than a year of contract. The quarterly review exists for exactly this: we look at rankings, traffic and enquiries against what the work cost.
Can I stop at any time?
Yes, after the three month start. No exit fee. Everything built along the way, the content, the tracking and every account, is already in your name and stays with you.
Do I need a new website first?
Sometimes, and I will say so before taking your money. If the site cannot convert the traffic it already has, ranking it higher just sends more people to a page that does not sell.
Who writes the content?
I do, from interviews with you. Your buyers ask specific questions and generic content does not answer them. Nothing is generated and left unread.
