Good SEO requires patience,
skill & craft.
So does good science,
good literature,
and good alchemy.

Like any discipline worth its name, SEO rewards accumulated knowledge and craft over shortcuts. It is not a trick, a tool or a one-off fix. Think of it like the dentist — you don't go once and consider yourself done. You maintain it, return to it, and the work you put in compounds over time. It is a practice, built from understanding how search works, what audiences need, and how to connect the two with rigour and precision.

The verdict

"He truly excels at what he does"

— Breeze Furnishings

"We couldn't be happier with the work Alex has done for us. His knowledge and attention to detail have made a huge difference to our website — not only has he helped elevate it back to an excellent standard, but his ongoing support and guidance have been invaluable throughout the process. We would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable and dedicated SEO professional."

Four disciplines. One practice.

Every engagement is different. The approach is always the same — methodical, unhurried and built around what the data actually shows rather than what looks impressive in a monthly report.

Work done.

Named clients, real results. The work that doesn't make for a flashy case study but does make a measurable difference. More case studies added as engagements develop.

Notes from the attic.

Occasional writing on SEO, search and the slow work of building something that lasts. No growth hacking. No hot takes about algorithm updates. Just considered observations from fifteen years in the field.

Astrology

Just Convincing Enough.

A ROM site outranking a genuine game preservation project, a job board built to harvest your inbox, and a returns process built to be unusable — same mechanism, three different masks.

The Controls You Can See Aren't the Controls That Matter.

Our own host was blocking AI crawlers, Shopify was quietly feeding them, and one store was doing both at once. Why the settings page isn't where AI visibility actually gets decided.

Did Mallory and Irvine Make It? The Case for 52%.

A porcelain body, a soggy boot and a mountain that doesn't care what we think happened. A forensic read of the 1924 Everest mystery, worked backwards from the evidence.

You moved the website but forgot the furniture.

530 lost titles. ~400 missing images. Twelve months of recovery work undone in an afternoon by a second migration nobody checked properly.
