The SEO Growth Program is the six-step plan behind every engagement I take on. It was built for B2B and SaaS companies going after competitive non-branded keywords, where the sites ranking above you have years of backlinks behind them and the work takes months, not weeks.

What you get from an independent SEO consultant here is not a strategy deck. I build the keyword map, fix the technical issues, optimize and write the pages, and then go and earn the backlinks myself. Most consultants stop at the recommendations and hand execution back to your team. Most agencies keep link building outside the retainer and invoice it separately, or quietly skip it. In this program the links and the AI search work are part of the same plan and the same price.

1. The keyword and prompt map. I map the keywords your buyers type into Google and the questions they ask ChatGPT and Perplexity, then assign every one of them to a page you already have or a page we need to build. You get the map before any work starts, so you can see what we are going after and why.
2. Technical fixes. Crawl errors, indexing, page speed, site structure, internal links. This is the part that quietly holds good pages back, so it comes first.
3. On-page optimization of the pages you already have. Titles, headings, copy, and internal links on every page with a real shot at ranking. I give you the changes page by page as concrete suggestions, and where you want me in the site, I make them myself.
4. New pages and a content calendar. Solution pages for the commercial keywords, long-form guides for the informational ones, published on a steady monthly calendar rather than in bursts. I write or brief each one, your team checks it for technical accuracy, then it goes live.
5. Backlinks and brand mentions. Guest posts and digital PR on real blogs with organic traffic, plus mentions in the roundups, directories, and forum threads that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite for your category. Good links are expensive and slow to earn, and that is exactly why they still decide rankings. They are included in your plan, not billed as an extra.
6. Reporting and corrections. A monthly report with keyword rankings, organic traffic and leads, every backlink published with its URL, and AI mentions for a fixed set of buyer prompts. We go through it on a call, and anything that is not moving gets reworked the month after.

My blunt view after 15+ years as an SEO consultant: on competitive B2B keywords, backlinks decide most of the outcome. You can fix every technical issue and publish every week and still sit on page two, because the pages above you have a 70 domain rating and twenty referring domains pointing at that one URL. Earning links at that level is slow and costs real money. Any program that suggests otherwise is selling you the easy half of the job.

Existing pages usually start moving in the first two months, and meaningful lead growth on competitive keywords takes six to eighteen. That timeline is why I work with a small number of companies at a time rather than running 30-day sprints.

What are some of the benefits of working with an independent SEO consultant vs. SEO agency or in-house SEO?

Hiring independent SEO experts is a very popular option for many B2B and SaaS business leaders who are looking for SEO services. An SEO consultant/SEO expert knows organic search engine optimization extremely well and keeps up to date on the latest strategies, tactics, and future trends. You will work directly with an SEO consultant and usually save 50% of the cost of having an employee on your team. Since you hire SEO consultants for a specific project based on their skills, they are also generally more experienced than full-time staff.

• Independent SEO experts have more experience than marketing generalists you can find on the job market. Consultants work with multiple companies and projects and exposed to different strategies, tools, budgeting methods, marketing, and sales data and know exactly how to build and execute your SEO strategy to deliver the best results.
• Independent SEO consultants provide a personal level of service, the same as you would expect from your employees. They become trusted advisors that provide unique perspectives, challenge assumed strategy, help to avoid missed opportunities or potential issues, and continuously train and educate your team. You won’t get access to SEO experts at SEO agency and will work with account manager.
• Independent SEO experts are not treated as employees, and you will save around 50% of your budget as a result of not having to cover payroll taxes, medical insurance, paid vacations, stationary holidays, and sick leave pay. They are also generally less expensive than SEO agencies and companies.
• It’s much easier to budget, plan, and negotiate your contract with an independent SEO consultant than committing to hiring an employee. You can end a contract with no strings attached if you don’t like the services or communication with an SEO consultant.
