Manchester FREELANCE SEO CONSULTANT
The SEO Expert Manchester Businesses Keep Coming Back To
I’m Cristian, an independent SEO consultant in Manchester. No agency overhead, no cookie-cutter campaigns, just tailored SEO services built around your goals.
Whether you need a full SEO strategy, a quick SEO audit, or someone to finally explain why your competitors are outranking you, I can help. Ready to find out what’s holding your site back?
Not Every SEO Problem Looks the Same. Good Job I’ve Seen Most of Them.
I work with different types of clients in different ways. Here’s where most people who contact me tend to fit.
Growing Brands and Ecommerce
You’ve got traction but you need someone experienced enough to take your SEO seriously and build something that scales. I work directly with your team to develop and execute an SEO strategy that matches your ambitions.
Agencies and Consultancies
Got more work than your current setup can handle? I work with agencies and consultancies that need a reliable, experienced SEO expert to collaborate with on client projects. Flexible arrangements, solid work, no dropped balls.
WHAT I DO
SEO Services in Manchester. Strategy First, Results Always.
I offer a full range of SEO services tailored to where your business is right now and where you want it to go. No jargon, no fluff, just a clear strategy and the work to back it up.
Get Found By People Who Are Already Looking
If you’ve got an existing website, you’re sitting on more opportunity than you probably realise. I dig into what’s already working, find the keywords you’re almost ranking for, and fix what’s quietly holding you back. If you’re starting from scratch, I build the foundation the right way from day one.
Know Exactly Why Your Competitors Are Ahead
I dig into what your competitors are doing, find the gaps, and build an SEO strategy that puts you ahead. Thorough competitor analysis, smarter keyword targeting, and link building that builds real authority.
Rankings Are Vanity. Revenue Is the Point.
Getting traffic to your website is only half the job. I make sure the right people are finding you for the right search terms, so when they land on your site they already want what you offer. Because rankings that don’t generate revenue aren’t worth chasing.
WHO YOU’RE REALLY HIRING
Not Another SEO Agency. Just Cristian. And That’s the Difference
I don’t outsource. I don’t delegate the strategy. I don’t disappear after the discovery call.
When you work with me, you get the person who actually does the work. The one who finds your missed opportunities, identifies what’s holding your site back, and builds the SEO strategy that fixes it. No junior staff. No account managers passing messages back and forth.
It’s direct, personal, and focused on what actually matters. Your results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is SEO important for my business?
If your customers are searching for what you offer on Google and you’re not showing up, someone else is getting that business. SEO helps you show up for the right search terms at the right moment, building a source of organic traffic that doesn’t disappear the second you stop paying for ads. Done properly, effective SEO compounds over time and becomes one of the highest ROI digital marketing investments a business can make.
What is the difference between hiring a freelance SEO consultant and an SEO agency?
It comes down to what your business needs. Agencies suit businesses that need a full team across multiple disciplines under one roof. Working with me directly suits businesses that want focused SEO expertise and direct access to the person actually doing the work. There are no layers in between, communication is faster, and the strategy gets tailored specifically to you rather than fitted into a standard process.
Where are you based?
I’m based in Greater Manchester. I work with clients across Manchester city centre, the wider Greater Manchester area, and throughout the UK. Location has never been a barrier to doing great SEO work.
Can we work together if I’m not based in Manchester?
Absolutely. While I’m a Manchester based SEO consultant, I work with clients remotely across the UK and even globally. Most of my clients prefer it that way as it means faster communication, more flexibility, and no time wasted on unnecessary meetings. Everything is handled clearly and efficiently online. If you’re local to Greater Manchester and want to meet face to face at some point that can be arranged, but it’s never a requirement.
Do you offer one-off projects or ongoing support?
Both. Some clients bring me in for a one-off SEO audit or a specific project, while others prefer ongoing SEO consultancy for continuous growth. I tailor the engagement to what your business actually needs rather than pushing you into a package that doesn’t fit.
I’m not super technical. Is that a problem?
Not at all. I simplify the complex so you don’t need to speak SEO to make good decisions. You’ll always know what I’m doing, why it matters, and what it means for your business. No jargon, no confusion, just clear communication throughout.
Can you guarantee results?
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who says they can. Search engines change constantly and keeping up with algorithm updates is part of what I do. What I can promise is a smart, ethical SEO strategy built around your goals, informed by solid keyword research and competitor analysis, and designed to deliver meaningful long-term growth.
How much does your SEO consultancy cost?
Every project is tailored so there is no one-size-fits-all answer. What I will say is that I charge based on deliverables and outcomes, not hours. You know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before we start. If you want to understand what that looks like for your specific situation, book a free consultation and we can talk it through properly.
Do you work with small businesses or only larger companies?
I work with businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a small business owner looking to get found locally, a growing ecommerce brand that needs a proper SEO strategy, or a larger organisation with more complex requirements, I tailor my approach to your situation and budget.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. If you want to understand what’s possible for your business, get in touch and we’ll have a straightforward conversation about where you are, what’s holding you back, and what good SEO could do for you. No sales pitch, no obligation.
How long does it take to see results?
It depends on where you’re starting from, how competitive your market is, and what the strategy involves. Most of my clients start seeing meaningful movement within three to six months of consistent SEO work. Technical fixes and on-page improvements can show results faster. Building organic authority through content and link building takes longer but compounds over time.
This isn’t for everyone — and that’s the point.
It’s for you if:
✅ You want more organic traffic that actually converts
✅ You’re running a real business and you’re serious about growth
✅ You want to work directly with the person doing the SEO
✅ You’re ready to invest in something that compounds over time
It’s not for you if:
❌ You’re looking for quick hacks or guaranteed overnight rankings
❌ You want the cheapest option on the market
❌ You’re not ready to treat SEO as a long term investment

Whether you have a specific project in mind, want to understand what’s holding your site back, or just want a straight conversation about your SEO options, get in touch. No sales pitch, no obligation.
