Tim at South Lakes SEO is an excellent, practical and results-driven SEO expert, who I consult with regularly. Every time I meet with him he gives me something to think about, and take action on - that always generates results. I would 100% recommend contracting or retaining South Lakes SEO if you're looking to get more leads and/or convert more sales online. Tim has run and sold his own successful ventures that were dependent on internet search traffic, so with South Lakes SEO you're dealing with someone who knows what it's like to be a business owner, and knows that it's real results that matter. Superb!

Working with an SEO Consultant Step by Step

1. Initial research

We will have a chat so I can understand your current search engine optimisation situation.

  • Do you have a website yet?
  • Have you tried any SEO services before?
  • What would you like to achieve from our work together?

I want to understand where you are, where you want to be, and how quickly you want to get there.

The more I understand your business, the better able I am to help you get the success you are looking for from search engine optimization.

2. Strategy

I will create an SEO services strategy for your business.

This can include in-depth keyword research along with suggestions for improving both your on-site and off-site optimization.

If you want to rank locally (aka local SEO), nationally, or internationally this will all be built into the strategy.

I will explain this SEO plan to you.

Ensuring sure I have understood your needs and have created an approach that you are happy with

3. Implementation

I will start work on generating organic traffic to your website.

I will use a combination of market research, fine-tuning your website (on page seo). Then promote your site with a high-quality backlink building campaign.

Each month you will receive a progress update. Letting you know what I have done and how the site is progressing.

I will be open to your feedback and can alter my SEO approach to suit your needs should they change.

Feedback from my Kendal SEO Consultancy clients:

James Humbled

“I run a large SEO agency. With local, national, and international clients.

The consultancy Tim delivers has helped me to make more money both for my clients and myself.

Working with Tim is an absolute pleasure. His SEO audit of our website was extremely thorough.

He took the time to explain how to get my site into the search engine results pages and answer any question I had over Skype.

He is really professional and good at explaining the ins and outs of his SEO services.

I highly recommend using Tim’s services to grow your website traffic and build a strong brand!
