Big-brand search experience.
Without the big-agency bill.
I'm Paul Myers, an SEO consultant based near Liverpool. I do the SEO, the AI search work, the content and the Google Ads myself, for businesses that want senior expertise without the layers of account management.

Who you'll work with
Nearly 20 years in search.
Now working for you.
I started in 2006 running an ecommerce operation, then spent 13 years in agencies working up to Head of Search and Digital Marketing Director. Along the way I've built content sites, apps, product configurators and more than 25 SEO agents of my own. Now I bring all of that to businesses directly, without the layers of account management.

Tell me what's happening with your website, where you want to be, and I'll come back with an honest view. Every enquiry comes directly to me. No sales team, no hard sell.
Services
What I actually do
SEO
Technical fixes, content that answers a real search, and the structure to make both count. The unglamorous half is usually where the traffic is.
AI search visibility
Getting named and cited in AI Overviews, AI Mode and assistants like ChatGPT. Google says the same SEO fundamentals apply, so this is done properly rather than through tricks.
Content and Google Ads
Articles and product pages written to be found, plus paid search where it earns its place. Paid can test an idea before SEO commits to building for it.
Web builds, tools and apps
Sites built with search in the specification from the first template, not retrofitted after launch. Plus calculators, configurators and try-on tools that answer the question stopping a sale, where a tool does more than another page of copy would.
How I work
Automation does the legwork.
I do the thinking.
Data first
Crawl, Search Console, Google Ads and AI visibility data, pulled and analysed by tools I've built.
Reviewed by me
Every finding checked, prioritised and explained in plain English. Nothing goes out unread.
Built and measured
Fixes, content, schema, sites and tools delivered, then tracked in Google and in AI answers.
Standout results
Some wins come from doing the fundamentals properly.
Others are harder to ignore.

How it works
What working together looks like
STEP 1
A free initial assessment
I look at your website, your data and the businesses you're actually competing against. Then I'll tell you the three things I'd tackle first. There's no obligation and no lengthy report that needs translating.
STEP 2
A clear, prioritised plan
You'll know what needs doing first, what can wait and why. Each action comes with a complexity rating, realistic timing and any dependencies, such as developer support or internal approval.
STEP 3
The work, done by me
You deal directly with the person doing the work. Each month, I'll explain what changed, what effect it had and what happens next, not simply repeat numbers you can already see.
Writing
What's happening in search
Keep up with the changes that matter, why they matter and what, if anything, you should do about them.
Does llms.txt matter for SEO?
Google says its Search doesn't use llms.txt files. Here's what llms.txt is, what it can and can't do, and when it's worth a small business adding one.

What OpenAI documents about how ChatGPT searches the web, what's observed but not confirmed, and what a small business can do to be recommended.
AI searchHow to appear in Google AI Overviews
What Google says it takes to appear in AI Overviews and AI Mode, what you can ignore, and the practical steps that got a small business named first.

Most clients are nowhere near me and it makes no difference. If you are local, there's a page on what changes when your customers are searching with intent to visit.
