Train Your Agency Team to Think and Deliver Like a Head of SEO — Without Hiring One at £85K
SEO agencies across the UK are desperately hiring “Head of Strategy” and “Head of SEO” roles at £60K–£85K+ because their teams can execute tactics but can’t own strategy. This training gives your senior SEO managers the exact frameworks to close that gap, so you stop losing pitches and start delivering what you actually sell.

Why Agencies Struggle to Scale Strategy
You’re investing in marketing, but organic search isn’t delivering the results you expected.
- Your team delivers solid SEO work, but can’t articulate a 12-month strategic vision to senior client stakeholders You win pitches on reputation, but what you sell and what you deliver don’t always connect
- There’s no internal process for commercial scoping — every new client starts from scratch Your managers are technically strong but lack confidence in pitch rooms
- You’re watching search evolve with AI and don’t have a clear POV to sell to clients
- You’d need to hire a £85K Head of SEO to fix this, or you can train the team you already have
That’s where the Hands-Off SEO Strategy comes in, your custom roadmap to predictable organic growth.

Here are answers to the frequent questions
Do you work with businesses outside the UK?
While my primary focus is UK businesses, I work with select international clients in English-speaking markets. The strategy principles are universal, though local SEO tactics may vary by region.
What happens after 6 – 8 weeks?
You’ll have a complete, ready-to-execute roadmap and your team will be fully trained. I provide 2 weeks of post-delivery support for questions. After that, you can choose to implement independently or engage me for ongoing strategic oversight via retainer.
Can you help with implementation?
Yes! While the strategy is designed for your team to execute independently, I offer optional retainer packages for ongoing implementation support, monthly check-ins, and strategic guidance as you execute the plan.
How long does the SEO process take?
The complete strategy is delivered within 6-8 weeks from kick-off. This includes discovery, audit, research, roadmap creation, team training, and final documentation. The timeline may vary slightly based on your business complexity.
What kind of results can we expect?
While every business is different, our clients typically see 3-5× ROI within 6-12 months of implementation. You can review our case studies above showing results like +120% organic leads, +80% local rankings, and significant improvements in qualified traffic and conversions.
Is this suitable for our company size?
This strategy is specifically designed for mid-size companies (40-200 employees) that have in-house marketing resources but lack senior SEO leadership. If you’re producing content but not seeing ranking improvements, this is perfect for you.
