I use search demand to build useful pages, remove technical barriers and improve the journey from first visit to qualified enquiry.
Selected teams I have worked with
Foundation
I check crawl access, canonicals, redirects, internal links and rendering so search engines can reach the pages that matter. Fixes are ordered by customer and commercial impact, not by the length of an audit report. If the problem is unclear, the website audit turns search, content and conversion issues into one practical backlog.
Programmatic SEO
Reusable templates can turn useful data into focused pages for locations, integrations, products or use cases. Each page still needs a real customer question and something specific to add, such as first-party data, a comparison or a working tool. See how I build and check these systems on the programmatic Webflow page.
Conversion rate optimisation
I define the commercial action, measure the important steps and use the evidence available, from experiments to session recordings, forms and customer conversations. The result is a clear record of what changed and what happened, not testing for its own sake. See how the loop works on an existing site with the Webflow CRO page.
The feedback loop
Search demand shows the problem someone is trying to solve. Page behaviour, CRM outcomes and customer feedback show whether the answer and offer helped. I use both to improve the content, proof and next step, including answer engine visibility, without treating rankings as the final result.
Performance
I fix meaningful problems with speed, stability, mobile usability and third-party scripts when they interrupt the customer journey. Core Web Vitals are useful evidence, but a higher score is not automatically a better business result. The aim is a fast experience that stays out of the way.
Use search data, customer questions and commercial context to understand the problem behind the query.
Answer the intent clearly and add first-hand experience, useful data, proof, a tool or a point of view.
Use discovery and ranking data to diagnose, then use qualified enquiries, sales and revenue to judge the work.
Share the site and the commercial goal. I will separate the important work from the tempting busywork.

Need a website or app built, improved, managed or automated? Tell me what is getting in the way and I'll get back the same working day.
Common questions about connecting search visibility and conversion work.
Yes. Search data helps explain why somebody arrived and conversion data shows what happened next. I use both to decide which pages deserve attention, what the visitor needs from them and whether the work is producing qualified enquiries or revenue.
I start with anything that can stop an important page being discovered, indexed, understood or used. Then I look at search intent, page quality, internal links, proof and the route to conversion. The output is a short, ordered backlog tied to commercial value, not a long list of technically true but low-impact observations.
There is no honest fixed timeline. A blocked page can become crawlable as soon as the fix ships, while discovery, links and sustained demand usually take longer. I agree the commercial outcome first, record the baseline and report the leading signals without pretending that a ranking movement is the result the business hired me for.
It can be. The platform matters less than whether the site publishes useful pages, exposes them through crawlable links, gives you sensible control over metadata and redirects, and stays easy to maintain. I work with Webflow, Astro and other stacks, then fix the constraints that are actually affecting the site instead of blaming or praising the platform by default.
No. Competitor pages are useful for understanding the result type, questions and expectations around a query, but their average word count is not a content brief. I write as much as the answer needs, use the language a customer understands and look for something worth adding that is not already in every other result.
Programmatic SEO uses structured data and reusable templates to publish many genuinely distinct pages. The template is the production method, not the strategy. Each page still needs a specific audience, a useful answer and something unique such as first-party data, a working comparison, a real example or a meaningful combination of information.
I work across product marketing and engineering, turning ideas into useful digital products and improving how they perform after launch.
