I am Senior SEO Consultant based in London.
If you’ve hired an SEO consultant before and didn’t see results, here’s why, and here’s what I do differently. I start every engagement with a full data audit before spending a penny on strategy. That audit has never once failed to find the reason a site isn’t growing.
I am different from other SEO consultants because my advice is posted on top of the best SEO blogs like Moz, SEMRush, SearchEngineLand, Smart Insights, SiteBulb, Front Recruitment, LimeLight Digital and many more. This recognition reflects the quality and credibility of my advice, not just within my client base, but across the global SEO industry.
My days are filled with SEO: I regularly speak at and attend international SEO conferences, like BrightonSEO for example, track every Google algorithm update, and experiment with new techniques. I am captivated by SEO, and I voraciously consume podcasts, devour SEO books, and continually test new ideas. On top of that, I qualified in Conversion Rate Optimisation with a course from the leading cxl.com institute, to turn more organic traffic into leads and conversion.
I’ll walk you through the process and show you how we can work together and build better performance into your website.
I’m trusted by the best of the best Digital Marketing experts.

How do I compare to other SEO options
There are broadly three types of SEO consultants a London business will encounter. Here is an honest, side-by-side view of what you are actually buying in each case.
| Luca Tagliaferro | London SEO agency | Cheap freelancer | |

| Who does the work | ✓Me, personally, on every engagement — strategy, audit and execution | ✗A junior assigned after the pitch meeting | ✗Variable — often outsourced to lower-cost contractors |
| Experience level | ✓15 years, active client portfolio across 6+ industries | Depends entirely on who gets assigned to your account | Often 2–5 years with limited vertical experience |
| Contract terms | ✓30-day rolling — I earn your business every month | Typically 6–12 month lock-in before any results are visible | Project by project — often disappears mid-campaign |

| Transparency | ✓Full live access to Teamwork.com — every task visible in real time | Monthly PDF report. Limited visibility between updates. | Inconsistent. Often a spreadsheet or nothing. |

My Guarantee
Most agencies tie you to 12-month contracts before they’ve earned your trust. I work on 30-day rolling terms, which means I have to deliver results every single month to keep your business. Also, with me, you have the transparency guarantee. You know exactly what I am working on, at every time because I list all tasks into my project management tool to which you have full access.
Specialist SEO Consultant London
Are you searching for an SEO consultant in London who delivers serious results? You’ve come to the right place. I began as a solo SEO freelancer a few years ago, but pretty early on, I realised the demand outstripped what one person could manage. That’s why I am building my own SEO team. Today, I am able to provide you with a top-notch SEO service, including editorial backlinks, Digital PR, Tech SEO, content marketing and Local SEO.
Over the years, I have personally consulted with many business owners, consistently lifting their rankings, boosting traffic, and fueling growth. I also deliver high-value SEO conferences across the U.K. and beyond.
I am here to be your long-term SEO partner.
Why SEO Matters More Than Ever in 2026
With AI-generated results dominating Google’s search landscape, having your site show up organically requires more strategic SEO than ever. According to Search Engine Journal, AI overviews are dramatically shifting how traffic is distributed, with fewer clicks going to traditional organic results.
That’s why a tailored, intent-based SEO strategy matters.
If you’re unsure how your current setup compares, start with an SEO audit to pinpoint opportunities. Or check out how I helped one client increase their qualified leads by 120%.

Does your website have any of these issues?
I work with businesses that are serious about growth and tired of generic SEO advice.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients, from small businesses to global brands. Over the years, I’ve identified consistent patterns behind why many websites struggle to achieve sustainable SEO success. Regardless of how much you invest in SEO, if fundamental technical and on-page issues are left unresolved, no amount of marketing or sales effort can compensate for them.
Calculate the real SEO value with this in-depth SEO ROI calculator.
To prevent clients from facing these challenges, I personally triple-check every on-page optimisation before anything goes live. During the first month of collaboration, I also conduct a comprehensive website audit to uncover technical gaps and detect any toxic backlinks that could hinder long-term performance.
By combining this rigorous process with years of hands-on experience, I ensure every client benefits from a strong technical foundation and a strategy built for consistent, measurable results.

Here are answers to the frequent questions
Do you operate as a business?
Yes, I am a registered Sole Trader covered by professional indemnity insurance for multi million GBP amounts. I use a Sole Trader setup to work as a freelancer SEO consultant for brands and a white label partner for SEO agencies and other organisations that require ad hoc projects.
I developed my own network of highly selected partners for my SEO consultancy that help me deliver a superior level of work when it comes to specific areas, such as link building campaigns or industry-specific content writing.
You’ll receive a world class SEO service without the fees you would normally pay if you go to a famous and respected agency in the UK.
How much does it cost to hire an SEO consultant?
It depends on the size of a business.
For a small business in the UK, a typical monthly SEO budget generally ranges from £500 to £2,000/month, though some local or startup packages can start as low as £300 per month.
Because “SEO” can cover everything from simple local business profile management to complex national campaigns, the cost depends on your specific goals and business size.
Typical Monthly Pricing Breakdown
Most businesses fall into these categories depending on the service level:
Agencies typically start higher (often £1,500+) but provide a full team of junior specialists.
Senior SEO Freelancers often charge £120 – £250+ per hour or from £2,000 to £5,000/month but provide growth advice with extensive experience in handling complex SEO projects.
Local / Startup: £300 – £1,200/month
Established Small Business: £1,500 – £2,500/month
Medium Businesses: £2,500 – £5,000/month
Large Businesses: £5,000 to £12,000/month
Freelancer vs. Agency:
You can check my score on Trustpilot or my 5/5 reviews on Google to read some of the testimonials from happy clients (both present and past brands).
Do you work with anyone else?
Yes, I built a selected network of link building companies and freelance contractors helping me deliver large SEO projects for medium and large websites. This is a remote team of freelancers that facilitates the smooth execution of large SEO strategies.
Do you offer SEO packages?
The SEO Consultant job is to adopt a strategic view of your business and to fit SEO straight into it, in order to increase visitors.
But visitors are only as good as they convert and meet your business objectives.
When it comes to SEO services, there is a lot of crap out there recommending buying packages. Today, many SEO agencies are adopting this concept.
When SEO vendors sell packages that pigeonhole their customers into a predetermined collection of results and activities that aren’t tailored to the company, they’re not doing any service to their customers, thus making SEO change a lot.
Bottom line? Service packages aren’t tailored to the business, customers or Google updates and are a waste of time.
What are the 4 types of SEO?
1. On-Page SEO
This focuses on optimising individual web pages to rank higher and earn more relevant traffic. It involves everything you can control directly on your site.
- Key Elements: Keyword research, high-quality content, title tags, meta descriptions, image alt text, and internal linking.
2. Link Building
This refers to actions taken outside of your own website to impact your rankings within search engine results pages. It is primarily about building the authority and reputation of your site.
- Key Elements: Backlink building (earning links from other sites), social media engagement, and online PR.
3. Technical SEO
Technical SEO involves the “behind-the-scenes” infrastructure of your website. Its goal is to make it easier for search engine bots to crawl, index, and understand your site.
- Key Elements: Site speed optimisation, mobile-friendliness, HTTPS security, XML sitemaps, and fixing broken links.
4. Local SEO
Local SEO is a specialised strategy designed to make your business more visible in local search results. This is essential for businesses with a physical location or those serving a specific geographic area.
Key Elements: Google Business Profile optimisation, local keywords, citations, and managing online reviews
What does working with a consultant looks like?
While SEO experts wear many hats, we are at the same time sales executives, project managers and consultants while having very advanced technical, content and communication skills to be able to deliver the results for our clients.
Every SEO consultant should therefore provide you with a clear strategy, he is not expected to be fed with work. My work is to actually set up and advise the SEO strategy for your website.
This is a fundamental difference between working with a solo consultant and an in-house SEO employee. The freelancer also organises the communication with you and he/ she also takes care of urgent and non-urgent issues while at the same time delivering the strategy.
What makes an SEO consultant the best?
An outstanding SEO consultant begins by understanding a client’s business objectives and target audience, then builds a bespoke SEO strategy aligned to those goals. This often involves recommending and implementing improvements to a website’s design, content, and structure, alongside proven tactics to increase visibility and search engine rankings.
A strong consultant will cover all the core elements of an SEO campaign, including competitor analysis, technical SEO audits, and both on-page and off-page optimisation. For service area businesses and local companies, this also means mastering local SEO, targeting nearby towns and cities to capture high-intent regional traffic. This specialised approach is essential for driving meaningful results at a local level.
What truly sets a great SEO consultant apart, however, is attention to detail, particularly in strategy implementation. Rather than focusing on a single tactic and implementing the recommendations, they outperform competitors. For example, if 4 competitors write about the same topic, an outstanding SEO consultant will write something so good, it’s hard to replicate, they’ll use proprietary data, research and internal insights to provide unique content. This depth of strategy and commitment to going beyond the basics is what turns a good SEO campaign into an exceptional one.
