Expert SEO audits for recruitment agencies. Identify technical, content, and AI visibility issues holding your site back and get a clear action plan.

SEO Audits

<h3><span style="color: #ff9354;">Nine times out of ten, your website is preventing your success.</span></h3><p>Before you can grow, you need to know what&rsquo;s slowing you down. An SEO Audit gives you that clarity. It&rsquo;s a one-off, expert review of your website&rsquo;s performance - uncovering the technical issues, visibility gaps, and missed opportunities that quietly limit your leads and placements. You&rsquo;ll see what&rsquo;s working, what&rsquo;s wasting effort, and where to focus next to turn your site into a consistent source of candidates and clients.</p><p>We have hands-on experience across multiple website platforms, including BOLD, HubSpot, RecruiterWEB, Recsites, Recwebs (Wave), SourceFlow, Squarespace, Venn, Volcanic, and WordPress.</p><p>We will show you what to fix and how, including, if needed, which vendor you should move to.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><span style="color: #e67e23;">▷ Small site audit &pound;499 + VAT</span></h3><p>For smaller recruitment agencies, this audit gives you a clear, professional diagnosis of what&rsquo;s holding your site back. We run a full technical crawl to uncover hidden issues with speed, indexing, and duplicate content, then benchmark how your pages perform in search and AI results. You&rsquo;ll get a concise, plain-English report showing exactly what to fix, why it matters, and which actions will deliver the quickest performance lift. It&rsquo;s the fastest route to understanding your site&rsquo;s health without a long-term commitment.</p><h3><span style="color: #e67e23;">▷ Medium site audit &pound;699 + VAT</span></h3><p>This audit digs deeper into the technical, content, and visibility layers that influence your agency&rsquo;s online performance. We analyse crawl data, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, and keyword rankings across your core service and sector pages. The report highlights structural weaknesses, missed ranking opportunities, and how your site currently surfaces in AI search results. You&rsquo;ll walk away with a prioritised action plan showing which fixes will have the biggest impact on traffic, conversions, and visibility - giving your internal team or developer a clear roadmap to improve results fast.</p><h3><span style="color: #e67e23;">▷ Large site audit &pound;999 + VAT</span></h3><p>Our most comprehensive audit is built for multi-brand or enterprise-scale recruitment websites. We assess every technical and visibility factor that drives performance: crawl efficiency, schema coverage, page experience, AI surfacing signals, and content authority. You&rsquo;ll receive a detailed report quantifying the commercial impact of key issues - from lost ranking opportunities to conversion barriers. The output turns complex data into business intelligence, giving your leadership team a clear, evidence-based view of where to invest and how to unlock meaningful growth across your digital estate.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2><span style="color: #ff9354;">FAQs</span></h2><p><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Q: What is an SEO Audit?</strong></span><br />A: An SEO Audit is a full health check for your website. It shows how well your site performs, what&rsquo;s stopping it from ranking, and where you&rsquo;re missing out on visibility in search and AI results. You&rsquo;ll see exactly what&rsquo;s slowing you down - from broken pages to weak content - and what to fix first to drive more traffic, leads, and applications.</p><p><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Q: How will an SEO Audit help me get placements?</strong></span><br />A: Placements start with visibility. If your job pages aren&rsquo;t being found or loaded quickly, candidates never apply and clients never see your roles. The audit pinpoints why jobs aren&rsquo;t ranking or converting and gives you a clear path to fix it. Once these issues are resolved, more candidates find and apply for your roles, directly increasing your placement potential.</p><p><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Q: How will an SEO Audit help me get new clients?</strong></span><br />Answer: When your service pages are easy to find and load fast, clients trust you more and enquire sooner. The audit highlights where you&rsquo;re losing traffic to competitors and shows what needs improving to win it back. Better visibility means more client leads coming through your website rather than cold outreach or job boards.</p><p><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Q: How will an SEO Audit help me get better candidates?</strong></span><br />A: Strong visibility attracts stronger candidates. The audit uncovers gaps in how your roles are indexed and how search engines understand your content. Fixing these gaps makes your jobs easier to find for the right people - not just more applicants, but better quality ones who are actively searching for what you offer.</p><p><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Q: Will I need more SEO services?</strong></span><br />A: Not necessarily. Many agencies use the audit to guide their internal team or web developer. You&rsquo;ll get clear, prioritised actions to improve results even if you don&rsquo;t invest further. But if you prefer ongoing support, we can build on the audit with a full strategy or retainer to accelerate growth and maintain progress.</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h2><span style="color: #ff9354;">Still guessing where to start with SEO?

After 3 months on the Advocate plan, we restructured and optimised their "Education Leadership" service page. They began ranking for "MAT executive search specialists" and secured a consultation with a trust, leading to a retained search project worth over &pound;10,000.<br /><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">Client 2: Healthcare Recruitment Agency</span><br />An established firm wasn't getting any client leads from its website. By optimising their primary "Healthcare Staffing Solutions" page with structured data and clear internal links, they saw a 25% increase in organic clicks to that page within two months. This generated two qualified inbound client leads directly from organic search.</p><p><span style="color: #e67e23;">Client 3: Renewable Energy Recruiter</span><br />A niche recruiter had deep market expertise that their website failed to communicate. We overhauled their "Offshore Wind Recruitment" sector page, optimising it for commercial keywords. Their page began appearing in the 'People Also Ask' box, and they received their first-ever inbound lead from a Project Director at a major energy firm.</p><p><span style="color: #e67e23;">Client 4: Legal Recruitment Boutique</span><br />A boutique firm struggled to compete against larger agencies for high-value client searches. We focused on their "Partner Placement" service page, optimising its content and Google Business Profile for the London market. Impressions for the page grew by 40% in sixty days, leading to a direct enquiry from a Managing Partner at a City law firm.</p><p><span style="color: #e67e23;">Client 5: Public Sector Recruitment Firm</span><br />A basic internal linking overhaul and metadata optimisation for their "Interim Leadership" service pages improved search relevance. Organic sessions to these key B2B pages rose 30% in two months, and they began ranking for valuable searches like &ldquo;interim council director recruitment,&rdquo; which led directly to a discovery call with a local authority.</p><p><span style="color: #e67e23;">Client 6: Public Sector Recruitment Firm<br /></span>A tech recruiter struggled to establish authority for their key Fintech sector. Their expertise was fragmented across blog posts, failing to rank for high-value client searches. We consolidated their insights onto a central "Fintech Recruitment" sector page, optimising the content and implementing FAQ schema to answer common client questions directly in the SERP. Within the first quarter, the page began ranking for "fintech headhunters UK," generating a direct enquiry from a PE-backed challenger bank.</p><p><span style="color: #e67e23;"><span style="color: #000000;"><br /></span><strong>What clients say about Advocate Retainer:</strong></span><br /><br />&ldquo;<em>We didn&rsquo;t have the time or budget for a big SEO contract, and cheap marketing never worked. Advocate actually fixed our site and started bringing in leads</em>.&rdquo;&nbsp; Founder, Tech Recruitment Agency</p><h2 data-path-to-node="21"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Why Agencies Struggle with SEO</span></h2><p data-path-to-node="22">What holds teams back from making progress? Most agencies, big or small, are already stretched across delivery, marketing, and BD. SEO gets pushed aside until visibility drops or leads slow down. By then, they&rsquo;re searching &ldquo;how to fix recruitment site SEO&rdquo; - but lack the time or expertise to do it properly.</p><p data-path-to-node="23">What causes SEO efforts to stall? DIY fixes and generic <strong>affordable SEO agency</strong> packages rarely solve the core problems. Pages remain invisible because they&rsquo;re not being crawled, indexed, or structured correctly. Without strong internal links, even great content never gets seen by search engines - or by clients and candidates.</p><h2 data-path-to-node="24"><span style="color: #e67e23;">What the Advocate Retainer Delivers</span></h2><p data-path-to-node="25">The Advocate Retainer is designed to be the most practical among <strong>affordable monthly SEO packages</strong>. It provides 4 hours of junior-led delivery focused on:</p><ul><li data-path-to-node="26,0,0">Page copy analysis and optimisation</li><li data-path-to-node="26,1,0">Meta data analysis and optimisation</li><li data-path-to-node="26,2,0">Internal linking to connect similar pages and demonstrate relevancy</li><li data-path-to-node="26,3,0">Creation of new pages to capture higher-intent searches</li><li data-path-to-node="26,4,0">Restructuring pages and blogs for better AI surfacing</li></ul><p data-path-to-node="27">How does it help you show up in AI search results? We make your site easy for Google and AI tools like ChatGPT to understand. That means your roles, insights, and services are more likely to be mentioned when someone searches or asks a question about your market. In plain terms: you get seen by more of the right people, more often.</p><h2 data-path-to-node="28"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Who Is This Package For?</span></h2><p data-path-to-node="29">The Advocate Retainer is for any recruitment agency that needs reliable <strong>affordable SEO services</strong> at a realistic cost. It&rsquo;s ideal for teams that want steady, professional progress&mdash;not quick fixes or overcomplicated strategies. Whether you&rsquo;re testing SEO before scaling, managing a tight budget, or need expert help to keep visibility strong, this plan fits around your goals.</p><p data-path-to-node="30"><strong>You&rsquo;ll get value from this plan if:</strong></p><ul><li data-path-to-node="31,0,0">You&rsquo;re tired of your jobs or pages not showing up in Google.</li><li data-path-to-node="31,1,0">You&rsquo;ve tried to handle SEO yourself but never see lasting results.</li><li data-path-to-node="31,2,0">You want <strong>affordable SEO packages</strong> that actually drive traffic and leads.</li><li data-path-to-node="31,3,0">You&rsquo;ve spent on marketing that overpromised and underdelivered.</li><li data-path-to-node="31,4,0">You want to safely test Kaizen as an SEO partner.</li></ul><p data-path-to-node="32">If this sounds familiar, Advocate gives you professional SEO foundations, early ROI proof, and a path into AI visibility - without overstretching.</p><h2 data-path-to-node="33"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Pricing, Onboarding, and Quick Wins</span></h2><p data-path-to-node="34"><strong>What do you get each month?</strong> <br /><br />The Advocate Retainer delivers four hours of junior-led, foundational SEO work each month. This time is focused on critical on-page and content improvements, including page copy analysis, metadata optimisation, and strategic internal linking to demonstrate relevancy. We also create new pages to capture high-intent searches and restructure existing content to ensure your site is perfectly positioned for better visibility in both traditional SERPs and new AI-powered search results. It&rsquo;s a tight, purposeful scope built to strengthen your site&rsquo;s visibility and performance without unnecessary extras.</p><p data-path-to-node="35"><strong>What can you expect in the first thirty days?</strong> <br /><br />You&rsquo;ll start seeing real progress fast. Google begins finding and indexing your jobs and service pages properly, so your site starts showing up where it wasn&rsquo;t before. The early wins prove that small, focused improvements can quickly create visible results.</p><h2 data-path-to-node="36"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Proof and Next Steps</span></h2><p data-path-to-node="37"><strong>Small agency case study:</strong> A 5-person recruitment agency used the Advocate Retainer to tackle the basics - structuring pages for AI-extraction, optimising copy for high-intent, high conversion rate keywords and rolling out extra pages to capture additional search queries. Within eight weeks, their organic clicks jumped <strong>36%</strong>, and their website began appearing in Google&rsquo;s People Also Ask results for &ldquo;affordable finance recruiters UK.&rdquo;</p><blockquote data-path-to-node="38"><p data-path-to-node="38,0">"Many recruiters get stuck Googling &lsquo;affordable SEO for recruitment agencies&rsquo; because they&rsquo;re overwhelmed by where to start. Advocate gives them a clear, practical route forward - affordable, structured, and focused on proof." -<strong>&nbsp;Dan, Founder, Kaizen SEO</strong></p></blockquote><h2 data-path-to-node="39">How to Choose an Affordable SEO Retainer for Your Recruitment Agency</h2><p data-path-to-node="40">Choosing the right SEO partner isn&rsquo;t about finding the cheapest option&mdash;it&rsquo;s about getting genuine value that delivers results. Here&rsquo;s how to identify a retainer that&rsquo;s worth your investment:</p><ol><li data-path-to-node="41,0,0">Look for transparency: You should know exactly what&rsquo;s being done each month and why it matters to your site&rsquo;s performance.</li><li data-path-to-node="41,1,0">Check their recruitment experience: SEO for recruiters is niche. Choose a provider who understands job boards, ATS systems, and how candidates search.</li><li data-path-to-node="41,2,0">Ask for proof of quick wins: A good retainer should deliver visible improvements in search visibility or indexing within the first month or two.</li><li data-path-to-node="41,3,0">Ensure scalability: Pick a plan that can grow with you, starting light but allowing for deeper optimisation as results build.</li><li data-path-to-node="41,4,0">Prioritise predictability: Consistent, fixed monthly pricing gives you progress without cash flow surprises.</li></ol><h2 data-path-to-node="42">&nbsp;</h2><h2 data-path-to-node="42"><span style="color: #e67e23;">FAQs</span></h2><h3 data-path-to-node="43"><span style="color: #e67e23;">What does an affordable SEO retainer for recruiters actually include?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="44">Our Advocate plan focuses on high-impact on-page fundamentals. You get 4 hours of junior-led delivery for page copy analysis, metadata optimisation, strategic internal linking, and creating new pages to capture long-tail, high-intent searches. It's the essential "house-keeping" that gets your content visible.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="45"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Can a &pound;395 monthly SEO plan actually generate client leads?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="46">Yes, by focusing with precision. A small budget can't fix an entire site, but it can perfect your <strong>most valuable</strong> service page. As our case studies show, optimising one key page can lead to a &pound;10,000 retained search. We target your high-value pages first to generate measurable ROI quickly.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="47"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Why isn't my recruitment website generating any leads?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="48">Your key service pages likely aren't optimised for what clients are <strong>actually</strong> searching for. Generic marketing and DIY fixes fail to align your page copy, metadata, and internal links. Without these foundational signals, Google can't understand your expertise, so high-value clients and candidates can't find you.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="49"><span style="color: #e67e23;">How do you optimise a recruitment site for AI search (SGE)?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="50">We make your expertise clear and easy for AI models to understand. This means restructuring your page copy and blog content to directly answer the specific questions your clients are asking. This makes your content the most logical source for an answer, helping you get surfaced in AI Overviews and People Also Ask.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="51"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Who is an entry-level SEO retainer best for?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="52">The Advocate Retainer is for agencies needing professional, light-touch support without a heavy commitment. It&rsquo;s perfect for founder-led teams, agencies with tight budgets, or anyone wanting to "test the water" with SEO. If you're tired of failed DIY efforts and want measurable progress, this is the starting point.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="53"><span style="color: #e67e23;">What's included in the 4 hours of the Advocate Retainer?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="54">Those 4 hours are pure on-page execution. A junior specialist will deliver page copy analysis, metadata optimisation, new page creation for high-intent searches, and strategic internal linking. It also includes restructuring existing content to improve your visibility in both traditional SERPs and AI-powered search.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Still guessing where to start with SEO?

You choose this package because you want to stop reacting to the market and start dictating it.</p><ul><li data-path-to-node="18,0,0">You want to own the future: You need to rank for new roles <em>before</em> they become competitive and expensive.</li><li data-path-to-node="18,1,0">You need "Sniper" Precision: You don't want mass-produced blog spam. You want high-fidelity content clusters that survive rigorous client scrutiny.</li><li data-path-to-node="18,2,0">You are losing to AI: Your competitors are appearing in AI Overviews and Voice Search, and you are not.</li><li data-path-to-node="18,3,0">You operate in complex markets: You have multiple divisions or locations and need a unified authority strategy that scales across all of them.</li></ul><h3 data-path-to-node="20">&nbsp;</h3><h3 data-path-to-node="20"><span style="color: #e67e23;">What the Dominate Retainer Delivers Each Month</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="21"><em>30 Hours of Senior-Led Strategy &amp; Execution</em></p><h3 data-path-to-node="22"><span style="color: #e67e23;">1. Predictive Market Intelligence</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="23">We don't just guess keywords; we follow the money. We analyze VC funding rounds, GitHub repository trends, and macro-market signals to tell <em>you</em> what roles you&rsquo;ll be recruiting for next. We then build the roadmap to capture those terms first.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="24"><span style="color: #e67e23;">2. "Sniper" Cluster Deployment</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="25">Each month, we deploy a high-fidelity Predictive Content Cluster (4 interlinked, deep-dive pages) targeting a specific emerging trend. We manually engineer these pages with advanced Microdata Schema to ensure they are indexed as the "Source of Truth" for that topic, bypassing restrictive CMS limitations to deliver superior ranking signals.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="26"><span style="color: #e67e23;">3. AI &amp; LLM Visibility Engineering</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="27">We treat your site as a database for AI. We implement advanced schema (JobPosting, FAQPage, Organization) and structure your data specifically for Large Language Models (LLMs). This maximizes your chances of being the "cited source" in Google SGE, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="28"><span style="color: #e67e23;">4. Topical Authority Silos</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="29">We build deep, interlinked content silos around your specialist niches. By covering a topic from every angle&mdash;Salary, Skills, Hiring Guides, Trends&mdash;we force Google to recognize you as the "Subject Matter Expert," boosting rankings for every keyword in that cluster.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="30"><span style="color: #e67e23;">5. Authority &amp; Backlink Acquisition</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="31">Dominate includes proactive link acquisition. We identify opportunities to get your unique data and salary insights featured in industry press, building the high-level "E-E-A-T" signals that make your site unshakeable during algorithm updates.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="32"><span style="color: #e67e23;">6. Commercial Impact Reporting</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="33">Forget "Traffic" reports. We track "Trend Velocity" and "Revenue Impact." We show you which new trends are gaining traction, how your "Share of Voice" is growing in AI answers, and exactly how many qualified leads this system is generating.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="35">&nbsp;</h3><h2 data-path-to-node="35"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Who Is This Package For?</span></h2><p data-path-to-node="36">Dominate is for recruitment leaders who treat their website as a revenue engine, not a brochure.</p><ul><li data-path-to-node="37,0,0">You are tired of fighting for saturated keywords like "Sales Jobs London."</li><li data-path-to-node="37,1,0">You want to own a niche so completely that the aggregators can't compete.</li><li data-path-to-node="37,2,0">You have the budget to invest in "Future State" revenue, not just "Maintenance."</li><li data-path-to-node="37,3,0">If lost visibility is costing you placements and millions in fees, the Dominate Retainer gives you the enterprise-grade system to take market share back.</li></ul><h3 data-path-to-node="39">&nbsp;</h3><h3 data-path-to-node="39"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Proof That Market Leaders Choose our Dominate Plan</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="40">Case Study: A national finance recruiter struggled to appear in AI Overviews despite strong rankings. We identified a rising trend in "Quant Trading" regulation. We deployed a Predictive Cluster surrounding this 3 months before the regulation hit. The Result: When the market reacted, they held the #1 spot for all related queries, achieved the primary citation in ChatGPT, and added &pound;300K in additional fee income from a trend their competitors hadn't even noticed yet.</p><p data-path-to-node="41">What clients say: "<span style="color: #e67e23;"><em><strong>Kaizen SEO didn't just improve rankings. They transformed our pipeline. They told us what we needed to rank for before we even knew we were recruiting for it.</strong></em></span>" - <em>CMO, National Agency.</em></p><h3 data-path-to-node="44">&nbsp;</h3><h2 data-path-to-node="44"><span style="color: #e67e23;">FAQs</span></h2><h3 data-path-to-node="45"><span style="color: #e67e23;">What is the main difference between Elevate and Dominate?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="45">Scope and Horizon. Elevate (&pound;1,495) is about optimizing your current assets to rank for <em>current</em> search demand. Dominate (&pound;2,495) includes everything in Elevate, but adds Predictive SEO - a proactive strategy where we identify and capture future job trends before they have search volume, securing your market share before competitors arrive.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="46"><span style="color: #e67e23;">What is "Predictive SEO"?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="46">Traditional SEO looks at historical data (what people searched for last year). Predictive SEO uses signals like VC funding, tech adoption curves, and government grants to forecast what candidates will search for in 6 months. We build the content <em>now</em> so you rank #1 when the trend hits.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="47"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Why do I need to rank for keywords with "Zero Volume"?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="47">Because "Zero Volume" today often means "High Revenue" tomorrow. By targeting these terms early, we face zero competition. When the volume arrives, you have age and authority on your side, making you impossible to displace.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="48"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Can this work on my restrictive CMS (Volcanic/Venn/SourceFlow)?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="48">Yes. We use a proprietary "Manual Injection" protocol. We hand-code high-fidelity content blocks with embedded schema that bypasses the limitations of restrictive CMS platforms, ensuring you get enterprise-grade technical performance without needing a new website.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="49"><span style="color: #e67e23;">How do you measure ROI from the Dominate Retainer?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="49">We track "Trend Velocity" alongside standard conversions. We show you exactly how early access to these keywords converts into high-value placements, often delivering ROI from a single placement in a new niche.</p><h2>&nbsp;</h2><h2><span style="color: #e67e23;">Still guessing where to start with SEO?

Protect rankings and revenue during your site migration. Kaizen’s Migration Sprint ensures clean redirects, schema transfer, and zero post-launch visibility loss.

A focused migration programme that preserves rankings, protects revenue pages, and launches your new site cleanly.</strong></span></h4><p data-start="159" data-end="470">The Migration Sprint is a short, high-control engagement that guides your replatform, redesign, or domain change from planning to go live. We map redirects with precision, carry over schema and internal links, validate crawl and index rules, and monitor post-launch to ensure visibility and applications do not drop.</p><h3 data-start="472" data-end="488"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Key takeaways</strong></span></h3><ul><li data-start="491" data-end="564">Master URL mapping that protects services, sectors, jobs, and locations</li><li data-start="567" data-end="642">Clean 301s, updated sitemaps, and robots rules that keep crawl paths open</li><li data-start="645" data-end="727">Schema transfer for FAQPage, JobPosting, Organisation, LocalBusiness, Breadcrumb</li><li data-start="730" data-end="801">Content and intent parity so top performers keep winning after launch</li><li data-start="804" data-end="877">Staging safeguards, launch day checks, and daily monitoring in week one</li><li data-start="880" data-end="951">Google Business Profile landing pages retargeted for local continuity</li><li data-start="954" data-end="1013">GA4 and GSC verified with pre- and post-launch annotations</li><li data-start="1016" data-end="1086">Clear owner list, timeline, and a handover that your team can run with</li></ul><p data-start="1088" data-end="1262">Make your migration a low-risk and measurable process. The Migration Sprint gives you a proven checklist, a precise redirect plan, and hands-on support at the moments that matter most.</p><p data-start="1264" data-end="1484">A short sprint that maintains equity, removes technical blockers, and delivers a seamless cutover. You get redirect coverage, template checks, schema validation, local SEO continuity, and reporting that proves stability.</p><h3 data-start="1486" data-end="1520"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Why migration readiness matters</strong></span></h3><p data-start="1522" data-end="1889">A site move touches every ranking signal.

The Migration Sprint addresses these realities, ensuring that consultants continue to receive qualified CVs and your pipeline remains active.</p><h3 data-start="1891" data-end="1922"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>The risk of a poor migration</strong></span></h3><ul><li data-start="1925" data-end="1998">Ranking loss when high-value URLs are not redirected with intent parity</li><li data-start="2001" data-end="2054">Soft 404s, loops, or chains that waste crawl budget</li><li data-start="2057" data-end="2128">Staging noindex copied to live or blocked assets that break rendering</li><li data-start="2131" data-end="2191">Canonicals that reference old paths and suppress new pages</li><li data-start="2194" data-end="2247">Sitemaps that list redirected or non-indexable URLs</li><li data-start="2250" data-end="2315">Removal of FAQs or copy blocks that drove wins in People Also Ask</li></ul><h3 data-start="2317" data-end="2332"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>What do you get?</strong></span></h3><ul><li data-start="2335" data-end="2423">Master URL Sheet and complete 301 map for services, sectors, cities, and job templates</li><li data-start="2426" data-end="2502">Technical remediation across crawl, index, speed, mobile UX, and rendering</li><li data-start="2505" data-end="2560">Schema carryover and validation on priority templates</li><li data-start="2563" data-end="2623">Content and intent parity checks with fixes where required</li><li data-start="2626" data-end="2689">Google Business Profile retargeting and local citation review</li><li data-start="2692" data-end="2741">Launch day support and daily checks in week one</li><li data-start="2744" data-end="2784">Post-launch report with clear next steps</li></ul><h3 data-start="2786" data-end="2810"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Who does this sprint suit?</strong></span></h3><ul><li data-start="2813" data-end="2873">Agencies planning a replatform, redesign, or domain change</li><li data-start="2876" data-end="2933">Teams that cannot afford a ranking loss during a relaunch</li><li data-start="2936" data-end="3005">Brands with complex architectures for roles, sectors, and locations</li><li data-start="3008" data-end="3066">Firms that want specialist support without a long retainer</li></ul><h3 data-start="3068" data-end="3093"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>Why choose this sprint?</strong></span></h3><p data-start="3095" data-end="3276">Most migrations fail on the basics. This sprint assigns a specialist to your team, introduces discipline to mapping and staging, and provides a controlled launch with proof of continuity.</p><h3 data-start="3278" data-end="3301"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>How the sprint works</strong></span></h3><h4 data-start="3303" data-end="3339"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Phase 1: Discovery and mapping</span></h4><p data-start="3340" data-end="3529">Crawl the current site and build the Master URL Sheet.

90 Day AI Sprint

Fast, fixed-scope SEO sprints for recruitment agencies. Solve technical issues, boost AI visibility, and drive measurable growth in weeks.

SEO Sprints

<h2 data-start="0" data-end="40"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><strong>SEO Sprints: fast wins, lasting impact</strong></span></h2><p data-start="42" data-end="370">Most agencies treat SEO like a one time clean up. Real growth comes from focused execution that ships improvements quickly and compounds. An SEO Sprint is a fixed scope, fixed timeline project that makes your site faster, clearer, and more visible across Google and AI search. No fluff. Just meaningful upgrades you can measure.</p><p data-start="379" data-end="653">A Sprint is a short, concentrated burst of SEO and AI readiness work that fixes technical blockers, strengthens content, adds schema, and improves internal linking.

Kaizen SEO helps you stay visible in AI Overviews, featured snippets, and entity results through technical optimisation, answer led content, and verifiable expertise. We ensure you attract clients and candidates while competitors fall behind.</p><h2 data-path-to-node="6"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><br />Key Takeaways</span></h2><ul><li data-path-to-node="7,0,0">Search Intent Has Shifted: Users now get answers directly from Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and People Also Ask boxes.</li><li data-path-to-node="7,1,0">Rankings Do Not Equal Traffic: Your content can satisfy a query in the SERPs without generating a click. You must optimise for visibility <em>and</em> click through.</li><li data-path-to-node="7,2,0">The Three Pillar Framework:&nbsp; Technical Foundation: Fix Core Web Vitals, implement structured data, and build crawlable architecture; Answer Led Content: Focus on topical authority, question based intent, and dual client/candidate journeys; Verifiable Expertise: Use author bios, case studies, and proprietary data to establish E-E-A-T.</li><li data-path-to-node="7,2,0">New Metrics: Shift success metrics from simple rankings to share of voice, cost per acquisition (CPA), and AI visibility.</li></ul><ul></ul><h2 data-path-to-node="8"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><br />The New Reality: Searchers Get Answers, Not Links</span></h2><p data-path-to-node="9">Is your website's organic performance flat despite your marketing efforts? Are you investing in SEO but seeing no improvement in your inbound client pipeline? Perhaps your Google Search Console (GSC) data shows impressions climbing while qualified clicks are falling, and you can't pinpoint the cause.</p><p data-path-to-node="10">You aren't alone. Many recruitment agencies are discovering that the old SEO playbook is broken.</p><p data-path-to-node="11">The reliance on manual outreach, expensive job board advertising, and content strategies that lead to burnout is no longer sustainable. The digital landscape has changed. Search engines like Google have evolved from simple directories into sophisticated answer engines powered by AI and trained on vast datasets.</p><ul><li data-path-to-node="12">For a head of a niche desk, this is why your key term rankings might be stable, but your candidate application volume has mysteriously dropped. Candidates get their answers, like salary benchmarks or interview tips, from SERP features without ever needing to click your website.</li><li data-path-to-node="13">For a Marketing Manager, this explains why impression numbers climb while clicks stagnate. Google uses your content to form an answer, but you receive no traffic. You lose the lead.</li><li data-path-to-node="14">For an Agency Owner using conversational AI like ChatGPT for research, you might discover your own agency is invisible. Large Language Models (LLMs) source information from websites structured to provide clear, authoritative, machine readable answers.</li></ul><p data-path-to-node="15">Relying on an old SEO model is a waste of budget. The audience's attention has moved.</p><h2 data-path-to-node="16"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><br />The New Framework: AI Ready Recruitment SEO</span></h2><p data-path-to-node="17">To succeed now, you need an integrated strategy built on three core pillars. This is not about quick fixes. It is about building a durable digital asset that establishes your agency as a recognized entity in your niche.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="18"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><br />Pillar 1: The Technical Foundation (Trust &amp; Performance)</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="19">Your website's technical health is no longer a "nice to have" IT issue. It is a fundamental signal of trust and user experience (UX).</p><p data-path-to-node="20"><span style="color: #e67e23;">What it is:</span> This involves fixing Core Web Vitals issues, implementing Schema Markup using the <a _ngcontent-ng-c2283779701="" target="_blank" rel="noopener" externallink="" _nghost-ng-c902499358="" jslog="197247;track:generic_click,impression,attention;BardVeMetadataKey:[[&quot;r_32200fee0d3f2cf9&quot;,&quot;c_c08548524443f8b1&quot;,null,&quot;rc_b2ac6e0d676c9fa9&quot;,null,null,&quot;en&quot;,null,1,null,null,1,0]]" href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/intro-structured-data" class="ng-star-inserted" data-hveid="0" decode-data-ved="1" data-ved="0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwiemNKFgqGRAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQmgU">schema.org vocabulary and JSON-LD format</a>, and creating a logical site architecture.</p><p data-path-to-node="21"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Why it matters:</span> A slow, insecure, or confusing website is untrustworthy to users and the algorithms that power search. AI will not cite or rank a source it doesn't trust. For a Managing Director, performance optimisation is an investment in credibility that directly impacts lead generation.</p><p data-path-to-node="22"><span style="color: #e67e23;">The Outcome:</span> You build a fast, secure, and logically organised website. Search engines can easily crawl and understand it. This earns trust and creates a foundation for all other digital marketing efforts. We utilize tools like Screaming Frog connected to the PSI API to diagnose and resolve these issues with precision.</p><p data-path-to-node="22"><em><span style="color: #e67e23;">**Note on Crawling:</span> You must understand how Google discovers your content. Refer to Google&rsquo;s documentation on <a _ngcontent-ng-c2283779701="" target="_blank" rel="noopener" externallink="" _nghost-ng-c902499358="" jslog="197247;track:generic_click,impression,attention;BardVeMetadataKey:[[&quot;r_32200fee0d3f2cf9&quot;,&quot;c_c08548524443f8b1&quot;,null,&quot;rc_b2ac6e0d676c9fa9&quot;,null,null,&quot;en&quot;,null,1,null,null,1,0]]" href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/robots/intro" class="ng-star-inserted" data-hveid="0" decode-data-ved="1" data-ved="0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwiemNKFgqGRAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQmwU">crawling and indexing</a> to ensure your robots.txt and sitemap are flawless.</em></p><h3 data-path-to-node="24"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><br />Pillar 2: Content That Answers (Authority &amp; Engagement)</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="25">The "more is better" content strategy is dead. Success now comes from providing information gain and building topical authority.</p><p data-path-to-node="26"><span style="color: #e67e23;">What it is:</span> Shift from generic, keyword focused articles to creating strategic content clusters. These must directly answer the specific questions your clients and candidates ask at every stage of their journey.</p><p data-path-to-node="27"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Why it matters:</span> You must create distinct content funnels for both clients and candidates. For a marketing manager with limited resources, every piece of content must be a strategic asset designed to answer a high value query for a specific audience persona. This approach builds deep, defensible authority suitable for ranking in PAA boxes.</p><p data-path-to-node="28"><span style="color: #e67e23;">The Outcome:</span> Your website becomes a valuable information hub. You attract both high quality candidates and qualified client enquiries. This reduces reliance on expensive channels and lowers your Customer Acquisition Cost.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="29"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><br />Pillar 3: Demonstrating Verifiable Expertise (Visibility &amp; Citations)</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="30">In the age of AI, you must prove your expertise digitally. You must signal authority in ways machines understand.</p><p data-path-to-node="31"><span style="color: #e67e23;">What it is:</span> Embed your unique experience and proprietary data into your digital presence. Create detailed author pages that link to professional profiles. Publish in depth case studies. Showcase testimonials. Structure this information with schema to build your agency's Knowledge Graph entity.</p><p data-path-to-node="32"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Why it matters:</span> AI prioritizes sources that demonstrate strong E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust). Without these verifiable signals, your website is just another generic source. By publishing proprietary data, like your agency's average time to fill or a unique salary survey, you give AI a compelling reason to cite <em>you</em> as the source.</p><p data-path-to-node="33"><span style="color: #e67e23;">The Outcome: </span>You move beyond simply ranking. Your agency starts appearing in AI Overviews and becomes a cited authority. You build a powerful brand with high recall in a zero click environment.</p><h2 data-path-to-node="34"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><br />From Vague Metrics to Tangible ROI</span></h2><p data-path-to-node="35">Adopting this framework means changing your Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Move on from the vanity metrics of old keyword reports.</p><ul><li data-path-to-node="36,0,0">Stop asking: "Where do we rank for X keyword?"</li><li data-path-to-node="36,1,0">Start asking: "What is our share of voice for the key questions our clients ask?"</li><li data-path-to-node="36,2,0">Start measuring: "How has our organic visibility reduced our cost per acquisition from paid channels?"</li></ul><p data-path-to-node="37">For a Head of Marketing or CMO, this translates SEO into the language of the CFO: Return on Investment. It is a strategic shift from a high cost, low control outbound model to a high control, long term asset building model.</p><h2 data-path-to-node="38"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><br />Stop Chasing Rankings, Start Owning Answers</span></h2><p data-path-to-node="39">The rapid adoption of AI led search is a fundamental market shift. It makes traditional marketing models irrelevant. Procrastinating is not a viable strategy.</p><p data-path-to-node="40">Continuing with a broken approach leads to wasted budget, team burnout, and growing invisibility.</p><p data-path-to-node="41">The future of recruitment marketing belongs to agencies that become the most trusted and authoritative source of answers for their niche. Build a strong technical foundation. Create strategic, answer oriented content. Prove your expertise digitally. Don't just survive the age of AI; dominate it.</p><h2 data-path-to-node="42">&nbsp;</h2><h2 data-path-to-node="42"><span style="color: #e67e23;">Frequently Asked Questions</span></h2><h3 data-path-to-node="43"><span style="color: #e67e23;">My rankings are stable, but my leads are down. What is happening?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="44">This is a classic symptom of losing visibility to zero click SERP features like AI Overviews. While your page ranks, the answer is extracted and displayed directly. This satisfies user intent without a click. The solution is to re-optimize your content to "own the answer" and provide additional value that encourages a click through.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="45"><span style="color: #e67e23;">What is Schema Markup, and is it really necessary?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="46">Yes, it is essential. Schema is a shared vocabulary that helps search engines understand the relationships between entities on your website. For an agency with a job board, JobPosting schema tells Google the job title, salary, location, and the Organization. Without it, you are invisible to Google's native job search features. Always refer to the <a _ngcontent-ng-c2283779701="" target="_blank" rel="noopener" externallink="" _nghost-ng-c902499358="" jslog="197247;track:generic_click,impression,attention;BardVeMetadataKey:[[&quot;r_32200fee0d3f2cf9&quot;,&quot;c_c08548524443f8b1&quot;,null,&quot;rc_b2ac6e0d676c9fa9&quot;,null,null,&quot;en&quot;,null,1,null,null,1,0]]" href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/structured-data/search-gallery" class="ng-star-inserted" data-hveid="0" decode-data-ved="1" data-ved="0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwiemNKFgqGRAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQnAU">Google Structured Data Gallery</a> to ensure compliance.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="47"><span style="color: #e67e23;">How can I justify this type of strategic SEO investment to my board?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="48">Frame it as a strategic investment in building a predictable, inbound pipeline. Unlike paid advertising, this approach builds a long term digital asset. It lowers your blended CPA over time and insulates your business from the rising costs of paid channels.</p><h3 data-path-to-node="49"><span style="color: #e67e23;">We have over 100 blog posts but no traffic. Should we delete them?</span></h3><p data-path-to-node="50">Not necessarily. The issue is likely a lack of topical authority and strategic structure. Use Semrush Guru and GA4 to audit your content. This will reveal which posts can be consolidated into authoritative pillar pages, updated to provide information gain, or pruned if they are low value. Read Google's guidelines on <a _ngcontent-ng-c2283779701="" target="_blank" rel="noopener" externallink="" _nghost-ng-c902499358="" jslog="197247;track:generic_click,impression,attention;BardVeMetadataKey:[[&quot;r_32200fee0d3f2cf9&quot;,&quot;c_c08548524443f8b1&quot;,null,&quot;rc_b2ac6e0d676c9fa9&quot;,null,null,&quot;en&quot;,null,1,null,null,1,0]]" href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/consolidate-duplicate-urls" class="ng-star-inserted" data-hveid="0" decode-data-ved="1" data-ved="0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwiemNKFgqGRAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQnQU">consolidating duplicate URLs</a> before making changes.</p><p data-path-to-node="56"><span style="color: #e67e23;"><br />If your recruitment agency&rsquo;s SEO isn&rsquo;t generating the results it should, it&rsquo;s time to evolve.

The Vanguard Protocol is a predictive SEO service that targets future recruitment trends using VC data. Secure market share for emerging roles before they peak.

The Vanguard Protocol: Predictive SEO Service for Recruitment Agencies

<h2><span style="color: #e67e23;">The Vanguard Protocol&trade;: Predictive Market Intelligence for Recruitment</span></h2><p>Ranking for "Sales Jobs" or "Marketing Recruitment" is a losing battle. The aggregators won that war five years ago. To grow a recruitment agency in the AI era, you cannot rely on historical search volume. You must rank for the job title before the candidate even knows it exists. The Vanguard Protocol is a standalone, <a href="https://www.kaizen-seo.com/blog/predictive-seo-how-to-rank-for-recruitment-trends-before-they-happen-201?navigation=true"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>predictive SEO</strong></span></a> service that forecasts hiring surges and secures your digital real estate while the competition is asleep.</p><h3><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">Key Takeaways</span></h3><ul><li>Vanguard is a Bolt-On: This service runs parallel to your existing SEO, adding predictive capability without disrupting current operations.</li><li>Market Intelligence First: We use VC funding data and government grants to identify future hiring trends, not keyword tools.</li><li>Zero-Competition Ranking: We target "Blue Ocean" keywords with zero volume today but high revenue potential tomorrow.</li><li>AI Defense: Publishing first establishes your site as the "Source of Truth" for ChatGPT and Gemini.</li><li>Integrated Power: Available as a standalone bolt-on, or fully included as standard for forward-thinking agencies on our <a href="https://www.kaizen-seo.com/cm/seo-services/monthly-seo-plans/dominate-retainer" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Dominate Retainer</strong></span></a>.</li></ul><h2><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">The Vanguard Methodology</span></h2><h3><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">What is the Vanguard Protocol?</span></h3><p>The Vanguard Protocol is a specialized market intelligence and content deployment service. Unlike traditional SEO, which optimizes for existing demand, Vanguard optimizes for future demand. We identify upstream economic signals - such as a &pound;50M Series B investment in "Green Hydrogen" - and immediately build the content infrastructure to capture the downstream hiring surge. This secures the #1 ranking for specific, high-fee roles before the market saturates.</p><h3><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">Why do we ignore search volume?</span></h3><p>We ignore search volume because it is a lagging indicator. By the time a keyword shows significant volume in tools like Semrush, the opportunity is gone; Indeed and LinkedIn have already indexed thousands of pages for it. To secure high margins, we must target the "Zero Volume" phase where a trend is funded but not yet famous. This allows us to own the entity relationship in Google's Knowledge Graph uncontested.</p><h3><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">How does the "Bolt-On" model work?</span></h3><p>The Bolt-On model allows you to deploy Vanguard without changing your current marketing setup. Your existing internal team or external agency continues to manage your technical health, core service pages, and brand hygiene. Kaizen acts as a specialist intelligence partner, injecting one high-fidelity "<a href="https://www.kaizen-seo.com/blog/predictive-seo-how-to-rank-for-recruitment-trends-before-they-happen-201?navigation=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Predictive Cluster</strong></span></a>" per month. This ensures you capture future market share without the political or logistical friction of changing providers.<br /><br /></p><p><strong>Looking for Total Market Dominance?</strong> While Vanguard is effective as a standalone bolt-on, it is most powerful when paired with deep technical execution. For forward-thinking agencies, The Vanguard Protocol&trade; is fully included within our <strong><a href="https://www.kaizen-seo.com/cm/seo-services/monthly-seo-plans/dominate-retainer" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dominate Retainer</span></a></strong>, combining predictive market intelligence with 30 hours of enterprise-level SEO strategy.</p><h2><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">The Monthly Execution Cycle</span></h2><h3><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">Phase 1: Signal Mining</span></h3><p>We analyze capital flows to find the money. Using tools like Crunchbase and Perplexity Pro, we scan for significant capital injections in your specific sector. We infer the exact technical roles required to execute these funded projects, identifying job titles that do not yet exist on job boards.</p><h3><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">Phase 2: Cluster Deployment</span></h3><p>We deploy the asset manually. Once a trend is validated, we build a 4-page "Predictive Cluster" directly into your CMS. This includes a Pillar Page (Market Guide), a Definition Page, a Skills Page, and a Location Page. We hand-code the HTML to include specific Microdata Schema, ensuring the content is parsed correctly by AI models even on restrictive platforms like Volcanic or Venn.</p><h3><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">Phase 3: Velocity Tracking</span></h3><p>We measure speed and authority. Instead of tracking generic traffic, we track "Trend Velocity." We monitor how quickly the new term is gaining impressions and verify that AI engines like ChatGPT are citing your brand as the primary source for the new topic.</p><h2><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">FAQs</span></h2><h3><br /><span style="color: #e67e23;">Do I need to fire my current SEO agency?</span></h3><p>You do not need to fire your current agency. The Vanguard Protocol is designed as a standalone bolt-on service that runs parallel to your existing marketing, focusing exclusively on future growth trends while your current team manages day-to-day maintenance.</p><h3><span style="color: #e67e23;">How do you predict recruitment trends?</span></h3><p>We predict trends by analyzing upstream economic indicators rather than search data. We monitor Venture Capital funding rounds, government infrastructure grants, and GitHub repository spikes to forecast specific hiring demands 3-6 months before they hit job boards.</p><h3><span style="color: #e67e23;">What do I get for &pound;1,295 per month?</span></h3><p>The monthly fee covers the full predictive cycle: one Market Intelligence Report identifying a high-value trend, and the manual deployment of one High-Fidelity Content Cluster (4 interlinked pages) into your CMS to capture that trend.</p><h3><span style="color: #e67e23;">Does this work on Volcanic or Venn websites?</span></h3><p>The Vanguard Protocol is fully compatible with restrictive platforms like Volcanic, Venn, and SourceFlow. We use a proprietary manual injection method to deploy high-quality HTML content with embedded schema that bypasses standard CMS limitations.</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h6><span style="color: #e67e23;">Stop chasing the past.

<p>Dan is the real deal when it comes to SEO for recruitment businesses. I know very little about SEO and most of what I do know, I've learned from Dan making it feel approachable and understandable.&nbsp;</p><p>He's easy to get on with, easy to contact if you need him and never thinks any question is too daft. He's made a bunch of strong changes to our approach to SEO and in the six months we've worked with him so far he's helped us shape our approach to make our goals more achievable.&nbsp;</p><p>The content he shares on LI is also top notch if you're interested in getting your head round SEO in 2025.</p><p>Would recommend to any recruitment marketing team!</p>

<p>Huge fan of Dan's work. Provides incredibly detailed information and explains in a clear, concise, and actionable manner. SEO and AIO is a dark art that I believe should be handled by experts, of which Dan is in the top tier of.</p>

Darren Revell, Founder of RecruiterWEB

<p>Dan is the real deal in an ocean of average and make-believe SEO myths. Dan stands alone as a truthful and talented SEO guru. You'll find no better; snap him up while you can.</p><p>I won't work with a supplier until they have proven to me that what they do works, I won't recommend a supplier if they have not proven that what they do works, and I won't work with a supplier if their work will damage RecruiterWEB's brand through their work or their approach to their work.</p><p>Dan has proven himself on all fronts and only enhances our brand to work with him.</p>

Meet Our Recruiter

<p>Dan was excellent to work with. Knows his stuff inside and out. Broke everything down very well, communicated with myself and my team excellent and all round a top guy. Highly recommend!</p>

Josh Peacock, Founder of SEO For Hire

Chloe Stout,  Global Digital & Content Manager at 3Search & 11 Investments

<p>Dan is an excellent partner in our SEO efforts and has truly helped us go from strength to strength across a number of our key terms. Thank you for being a fountain of knowledge and an excellent sounding board for my non-stop questions!</p>

Kieron Mayers, Head of Marketing at Paiger

<p>There's two things that really stand out when working with Dan:<br /><br />1. He's incredibly easy to deal with. Possibly the most patient person I've ever worked with.<br />2. His knowledge is top class. He *knows* what he's talking about.<br /><br />With any technical work, it's easy to get lost in what some of the inner workings mean but Dan takes care of this and filters the important information from the noise for me.<br /><br />I've worked with Dan on several projects over the last year and can only see me working with him more in the future.<br /><br />Kieron</p>

Catherine Henderson, Fractional CMO

<p>As a technical SEO expert, it goes without saying that Dan's ability to analyse the data and implement technical improvements is what every SEO plan needs. Above that though, is his passion for taking that data and turning it in to executional digital strategy. He applies it expertly to website development and content ideas for you to take forward to those parts of your marketing to improve overall performance. His no-nonsense attitude worked perfectly for me! If you value straight-talking advice, then look no further.</p>
