Freelancers and consultants
SEO freelancers and consultants
Independent SEO consultants for online stores: technical audits, category page work and content plans from one person, and why patience is part of the price.
When you need this
- Paid traffic is carrying the store and organic has not grown in a year.
- A replatform or a theme change dropped rankings and nobody knows which change did it.
- You want a technical audit and a prioritised plan you can hand to a developer.
What it costs, in general terms
Freelancers and consultants usually charge a flat monthly fee, an hourly or day rate, or a percentage of ad spend, with shorter notice periods than agencies and often no minimum spend. Ask for the fee model, the notice period and the hours you get in writing before you compare. SEO consultants often quote a fixed fee for an audit and a monthly retainer for ongoing work, and results take months either way.
How to choose
- 01Ask for an audit sample on a store, not a blog. E-commerce SEO is about templates, filters and duplicate content, not articles.
- 02Ask how they will measure progress month by month before rankings move.
- 03Confirm who implements the changes and whether that is in the quote.
The questions every freelancer is compared on are on how we grade.

Frequently asked questions
What does an e-commerce SEO consultant actually do?
Crawl and index health, site speed, category and product templates, internal linking, duplicate content from filters and variants, structured data and a content plan for category and buying-guide pages. Ask which of these the quote covers.
How long before SEO work shows results?
Technical fixes can show within weeks; content and authority work takes months. A consultant who promises fast rankings is a red flag. Ask what you should see at month one, three and six.
Can the SEO consultant and the Google Ads person work together?
They should. Paid search terms show which organic pages to build, and organic rankings change what paid needs to cover. Ask both to share data monthly.
