SEO Consultant Ireland – Independent SEO Advice and Services

Helping Irish businesses cut through the noise, understand SEO clearly, and get real results without agency fluff.

SEO Services in Ireland

As an independent SEO consultant in Ireland, I offer a range of services from local SEO to technical consulting and link building. For businesses needing a complete programme, my full SEO service combines all areas into one but spaces are limited to maintain quality and focus.

Full SEO Service (capacity limited)

A complete organic SEO programme focused on boosting your website’s visibility in Google’s main results. This combines technical SEO, on-page optimisation, keyword research, content strategy, and link building. Works alongside Local SEO but is designed for long-term growth beyond map rankings. Capacity is limited each month.

Local SEO in Ireland

Dominate the local pack. We optimise Google Business profiles, location pages, and citations to increase visibility in Irish map results and local searches leading to more enquiries and local leads for your business.

Technical SEO Consulting

Fix the barriers holding your site back. From crawl issues and indexing errors to Core Web Vitals and structured data, we ensure your site is fast, accessible, and built to perform in search.

Keyword Research & Content Planning

Map out the topics and keywords your business should own. Includes competitor gap analysis, entity-driven keyword research, and a content roadmap aligned with user intent and ranking potential.

On-Page SEO Optimisation

Optimise your existing pages so they rank stronger and attract qualified visitors. Titles, headers, schema, semantic improvements, and internal linking are all refined to maximise performance.

Link Building & Digital PR

Build the site authority needed to compete. Secure high-quality links and coverage that strengthen rankings, grow brand trust, and deliver referral traffic.

Helping You Choose the Right Marketing/SEO Agency

Choosing the right SEO and marketing agencies in Ireland isn’t easy. Proposals often look polished but don’t reveal the real capability. I provide an independent service that reviews agency pitches, translates the jargon, and highlights whether you’re getting real value or wasting money.

Questions to Ask Agencies

I give you a checklist of key questions that quickly reveal if an agency knows their stuff or is bluffing.

Proposal Reviews

I analyse agency decks and proposals to spot hidden gaps, unrealistic promises, or recycled templates.

Jargon Translation

I turn agency-speak into plain English and tell you straight: is this a solid offer, overpriced, or missing the essentials you need.

Trusted Recommendations

Only if agencies don’t measure up, i’ll point you toward the small handful of providers I trust.

Independent Perspective

I’m not tied to any agency. My advice is impartial, focused on your goals, and based on years of SEO experience.

Budget Protection

By catching weak pitches and inflated proposals, the process helps companies avoid wasting thousands on the wrong SEO agency.

Common Questions About SEO Services in Ireland

Answers to frequently asked questions about working with an independent SEO consultant.

What does an SEO consultant do differently than an agency?

An independent SEO consultant provides direct access to the person doing the work, not account managers or junior staff. You get transparent communication, strategic thinking tailored to your business, and honest advice even when it’s not in my immediate interest. Agencies often use standardized packages and processes; consultants build custom strategies based on your specific needs and goals.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Most Irish businesses see initial improvements within 3-6 months, though timelines depend on starting position and competition. Local SEO often delivers faster results—sometimes within 6-10 weeks for Google Business Profile and map rankings. Competitive organic rankings for broader commercial keywords typically develop over 6-12 months. SEO is an investment that compounds over time, not a quick fix.

Can you guarantee first page rankings or specific results?

No ethical SEO consultant can guarantee specific rankings. Anyone promising guaranteed #1 positions is either lying or using tactics that risk penalties. What I can guarantee is transparent communication, strategic work based on proven methods, and clear reporting on progress. I focus on rankings for commercially valuable keywords that drive enquiries and revenue, not vanity metrics.

Do you offer one-time SEO asessments or only ongoing services?

I offer both. Some businesses just need a comprehensive assessment with an action plan they can implement themselves or hand to their development team. Others need ongoing strategic support and execution. If you’re evaluating agencies, I also provide independent proposal reviews to help you make informed decisions. The right approach depends on your situation, resources, and goals. We’ll discuss options during your free consultation.
