SEO
I build fast, conversion-focused WordPress websites and provide revenue-focused SEO for established businesses in Newcastle and the Hunter region.
Strategic SEO for Newcastle and Hunter Region businesses
Newcastle has come a long way from its steel city roots. Today it’s a diverse economy built on health, education, professional services, defence, and a growing tech sector. The businesses that are winning online are the ones investing in proper search strategy — not relying on word of mouth alone or hoping their website will just “get found.”
I work with Newcastle and Hunter Region business owners who are ready to use their website as a genuine growth tool. My approach is practical: I analyse your local competitive landscape, identify the search terms that will drive enquiries, and build a strategy that moves the needle month by month.
The way I work
Most of my Newcastle clients commit to 12–18 months because meaningful SEO results compound over time. Every month you’ll get an itemised report detailing every task I’ve completed, plus a strategy call where we go through your rankings, traffic, and what’s coming next. You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for.
I don’t use lock-in contracts — you pay as you go. That keeps me accountable and gives you the flexibility to walk away if the results aren’t there. In practice, most clients stay for years because the return on their investment keeps growing.

Who i Work with in Newcastle
- I want to work with passionate business owners that understand the importance of a long term strategy for Search Engine Optimisation.
- Every month I’ll need about an hour or two of your time for our strategy meeting to achieve the best results. I’ll be in constant communication with you and require regular feedback and direction. You know your business better than I, so I’ll need time to extract that knowledge from you and reflect that in my work.
- SEO is a long term investment. If you expect results overnight; I can’t help you. I want to work with established businesses that plan to invest for the long term success of their business.
Our first phone call
If you call me, I’ll make sure you’re aware of my rates and ask some basic questions about your business – this is to determine if SEO is a good strategy for your business. I’m not interested in taking on clients I can’t generate a positive Return on Investment for.
I’ll learn more about your business, namely, to identify the direction you want to take the business, where’s the money in your industry, and what you’ve done in terms of digital marketing.
If I think we’ll be a great match I’ll ask for a few days to audit your website and prepare a presentation.
The Presentation
I’ll need about 40 minutes of your time to cover a sales presentation so you can learn more about me, my processes, and the results I’ve produced previously.I’ll be talking about:
- My past experience and results
- My process and why I’m different to other SEOs
- A quick audit of your site to show you where your website is at, where you need work and recommendations
- Long term Strategy & Pricing.
Moving forward and measuring results
Unlike other SEO agencies, you’ll be dealing directly with me and won’t be juggled between staff. You’ll be aware of everything that I’m doing each month in terms of:
Onpage optimisation; things like implementing conversion tracking, improving content and keyword optimisation to the really technical stuff of reverse engineering your competitors.
Offpage optimisation; link building (Google My Business, Bing Places, online directories) and performing outreach to other websites related to your industry requesting links or inclusions and sharing recently published content.
I hear you say – “I don’t have time to be writing content” Don’t stress – I take care of that too.
End of MonthAt the end of each month I’ll send you an itemised work summary sheet that shows you what I’ve covered in that month, planned work for the upcoming month and a list of recommendations. You’ll also receive a Google Analytics report detailing the overall performance of your website, no confusing charts or diagrams, just the things that matter: enquiries, sales and revenue. I’ll also organise a strategy call for an hour or so worth of your time so I can show you what’s been done, confirm you’ve closed all the leads and to confirm if my figures align with your accounts, as well as pick your brains for the upcoming month of work.
