SEO Consultation

In 1-2 hours online you walk away with a real answer for your business. Why traffic dropped. How to launch a site from scratch. Whether your contractor is actually delivering. How to push routine SEO onto Python. No generic advice here: I dig into your site and your niche, nothing borrowed from a template. You leave with the call recording, a written action plan sorted by priority, and 7 days of support over email. Formats run from a single $120/hr call to ongoing monthly support.

Who needs a consultation

A consultation earns its keep when the decision can't wait months for a full-time hire to ramp up. Here are the situations that bring people to me most often. Recognize yours? One session gets you a clear plan, plus the reasoning behind it.

Traffic dropped after a Google update

We line up the drop date against Core and Spam updates and find the real culprit: a filter, thin content, or something technical. Then a recovery plan, ranked by what matters first. No more guessing.

Technical issues are holding the site back

Bad indexing, slow pages, failing Core Web Vitals, a clunky mobile version. Each one quietly chips away at your rankings. We pin down what's actually blocking growth and what to fix first for the biggest payoff.

There's no clear strategy

Lots of tasks, no system. You can't tell what comes first or what will actually move the needle. You leave with a ranked roadmap instead of a scattered list of just-in-case fixes.

Traffic has hit a plateau

The site used to climb, now it's flat. We spot the drivers that have run dry and open new ones: semantics, structure, content, whatever gets traffic and leads moving again.

You need quality backlinks

Your link profile trails your competitors' and you'd rather not torch the budget finding out why. We audit what you've got, dig up real opportunities, and map out growth without the risky schemes.

Routine is eating your hours

Reports, rank tracking, parsing, manual exports. All of it eats hours that belong to strategy. I'll show you what Python can take over, and how that frees your team from busywork and slip-ups.

Consultation formats

1-2 hours $120/hr

One-off consultation

A quick answer to a specific question

Come in with one clear question, leave with a clear answer. Best when a single decision is on the line: what caused a drop, which strategy to start with, whether your contractor is worth keeping, or which direction to pick.

Includes:

• A 1-2 hour call on Zoom or Google Meet
• A deep dive into your one priority area
• The call recorded, so nothing slips away
• A short write-up of what we decided
• Your questions answered on the spot

2-3 hours $350

Strategy session

A deep dive + a 90-day plan

The full workup. Before we talk I go through your site and your competitors. On the call we lay it out step by step. You leave with a written plan you can start on the same day, solo or with your team.

Includes:

• Upfront analysis of your site and competitors
• A 2-3 hour deep-dive call
• A written 90-day action plan
• A task list ranked by priority
• 7 days of support over email

monthly from $500/mo

Monthly support

Regular work side by side

For teams that want to keep moving, not fix one thing and vanish. I keep the focus on priorities, check the work against the plan, and keep your team or contractor on track. Growth stays in hand.

Includes:

• Regular calls (2-4 per month)
• Priorities reset every month
• A review of what got done, and course corrections
• Team support over email
• Results tracked against the metrics

Discuss your project

What you'll get after the consultation

The consultation doesn't end when the call does. You don't leave with a warm feeling that you "had a good chat." You leave with real materials you can act on the next morning, alone, with your team, or with a contractor.

1 Call recording:
- The whole call recorded, so you can jump back to any moment.
- No frantic note-taking, it's all saved.
2 Written action plan:
- A tidy document with the decisions and my recommendations.
- Timelines and the results to expect for each area.
3 Prioritized task list:
- What to tackle first and what can wait, ranked by impact.
- A ready checklist to hand your team or contractor.
4 7 days of support over email:
- For a week I answer your implementation questions.
- I help with the details and with picking tools and services.

Together these close the usual risk of any consultation: the "we talked and forgot" trap. You keep everything you need to turn the advice into results.

How the consultation works

1 Brief and access
- You give me a short brief: the project, your goals, the problem you want solved.
- If it helps, you grant access to Search Console and analytics - so the review runs on your real data.
2 Site analysis
- Before the call I dig into your site, your competitors, and where the traffic's been going.
- I jot down hypotheses and bottlenecks so we spend the call on solutions, not setup.
3 Deep-dive call
- An online meeting on Zoom or Google Meet, 1-3 hours.
- We work through the problems, make the calls, and I answer your questions live.
4 Written plan
- I turn those decisions into an action plan with priorities and timelines.
- Paired with the call recording, that's everything you need to start implementing right away.
5 Support
- For 7 days I answer your implementation questions over email.
- You're not left alone with a document, you move forward knowing someone's got your back.

Why me

You're talking to someone who does this daily, not someone who read about it. I make SEO calls on live projects, and I bring specifics and numbers, not stock advice. Want the results in more detail? Look through my case studies, or book an SEO audit as a separate step.

8+ years in SEO

Dozens of projects behind me, from local shops to big online stores. I've seen what works and what just burns budget, so you skip months of trial and error.

SEO Team Lead at Netpeak

I run a team at one of Ukraine's top agencies. That means tight processes, a steady diet of reviewing other people's strategies, and projects of every size. All of it feeds into your consultation.

Python automation

I write scripts that clear the routine off your desk: rank tracking, reports, parsing, API work. I'll point out what's worth automating in your setup so the team spends its time on strategy, not copy-paste.

E-commerce and SaaS

I work with online stores and B2B/SaaS, the US market included. I know how different models behave, from product cards to tangled funnels and selling in cut-throat niches.

Talks and publications

I speak at conferences and write articles, which keeps my thinking organized and my explanations plain.

Data-driven decisions

Every recommendation sits on Search Console, analytics, and competitor data, not a hunch. You'll know not just what to do but why this way, and you can check the logic yourself.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the consultation last and in what format?

The meeting runs on Zoom or Google Meet and lasts 1 to 3 hours, depending on the format. I study your site and competitors beforehand, so we spend the time solving things instead of getting acquainted with the project.

What will I get after the consultation?

A call recording, a written action plan, a task list sorted by priority, and 7 days of support over email. Real materials you can work from the next morning, not just "we had a chat."

How much does the consultation cost?

Consultations start at $120/hr. A one-off session is $120/hr, a strategy session with a 90-day plan runs $350, and monthly support starts from $500/mo. We settle on the format based on your task and how deep the review needs to go.

Will a consultation help if traffic dropped after a Google Update?

Yes, it's one of the most common reasons people call. We line the drop up against update dates, work out whether it's a filter, content, or something technical, and build a recovery plan with clear priorities.

I already have a contractor or team - is it still worth it?

Yes. A second, independent set of eyes tells you whether the work is pointed the right way, where budget is leaking, and which tasks deserve to jump the queue. One session often saves months spent rowing in the wrong direction.

Consultation or a full audit - which should I choose?

Need a quick decision or a direction? Take the consultation. Need a deep technical dive with a list of errors and dev tasks? Start with an SEO audit, then use a consultation to sort out how to put it into practice.
