I’m an SEO specialist in Hampshire, having lived in Fleet, Church Crookham, and now Farnborough. I have family in Portsmouth and Waterlooville, so my connections with the county are deep and long-held.
I’ve been “doing SEO” for 27 years now, or 25 years in professional SEO if you exclude the 2 years when it was a hobby and obsession. I’ve conducted SEO for personal websites, sole traders, small businesses, national charities and even global corporations.
As for the sectors I’ve conducted SEO for, they have ranged from automotive, construction, and financial services, to healthcare, IT, law, manufacturing, and telecommunications.

Case Studies/Testimonials
- A client in the communications industry was not ranking for the very initiative that was the bedrock of their existence. By writing a news article and backdating it to the time of the launch, I managed to position them #2 in Google, second only to the page of the initiative itself. Traffic is fairly low (When it was previously zero) but I also managed to gain them positions in and links from Google’s AI Overviews, thus cementing their name as a highly prominent organisation in their field.
- I wrote a blog article for a local IT Support business in 2023 celebrating Microsoft Word’s 40th birthday. It was a simple, fun piece merely demonstrating the company’s finger on the pulse and yet in late 2024 it was again used in Google’s AI Overviews, massively increasing the company’s visibility with a huge spike in impressions in Search Console.
- Back in 2017 I started working for a digital marketing agency who were going to “bin” all their previous blog posts. They only dated back to 2014 despite the agency having been around since 2007. I retained the old content, built upon it, and gained them both the top 10 ranking and traffic increases for digital marketing blog. I even won business for them off the back of some of these blog posts such as the How to Optimise Megamenus for SEO article.
- A client for the above agency worked in the electronics industry. The website designer had built and launched the website with an error in the robots.txt file – I fixed this and saw immediate increases in visibility, traffic, and clicks. Earning immediate 800% increases may sound flattering but then the website had been “on the floor” for years.
- The same with a financial services website for the same agency and with their same previous designer – a problem in the robots.txt file was fixed and the firm saw sudden increases in crawling, indexing, and ranking, bringing in more enquiries than the years that they’d been almost invisible in search.
- Working for a London law firm I referred them as the alternative solicitors for another legal firm that had closed down, winning them new business as former clients sought substitute services.
- Again, for the same firm of solicitors in London, I created content that rapidly earned them topical authority on a specialist service and had them ranking in the top 3 of Google search for that legal service which their competitors had dominated for years. Business started to come in for that service. Another win.
