SEO consultant
A senior SEO who audits your site, writes the plan and guides your team or agency. You don't pay for a big retainer you don't need.
Is this for you?
A good fit if
- You have a team or developers, but nobody senior is steering SEO
- Traffic has stalled or dropped and nobody can tell you why
- You're planning a migration, a redesign or a new market and want it right the first time
Not the right fit if
- You want someone to "do SEO" without access to your site or team
- You need a guaranteed ranking by a certain date
- Your product hasn't found its market yet. Sort that out first
How I do it.
-
Diagnose
I review your technical setup, content and links against your real search data, and rank the problems by how much each one costs you.
-
Plan
You get a short written roadmap: the five or six moves that matter, who does each one, and how we'll know it worked.
-
Guide
Weekly or fortnightly calls with your team. I review tickets and approve changes before they go live.
-
Report
A monthly report tied to leads and revenue, with next month's priorities.
What you get.
- SEO audit sorted by priority
- Written 6-month roadmap
- Tickets your developers can work from
- Content and internal linking briefs
- Checklists for migrations and launches
- Monthly report tied to revenue
The details.
If your organic traffic has stalled, dropped, or grown without bringing in more business, the useful first step is a diagnosis. A sales proposal can wait.
I work as an independent SEO consultant. There’s no account manager in between, and no reason for me to recommend more work than the problem needs.

Who this is for
Your traffic has flattened
You’ve been publishing regularly and the line has gone flat. The problem is usually the topics, the site structure or something technical. Publishing more rarely fixes it.
Your rankings dropped
A core update, a migration, or a change nobody flagged. The priority is an accurate diagnosis before anyone starts fixing things.
You’re launching or rebuilding
The cheapest SEO work there is happens before launch. The most expensive is fixing a migration after it has gone live.
Your products aren’t visible
Online stores where most category and product pages aren’t indexed or don’t rank.
Search isn’t bringing leads
You rank, but for searches that don’t turn into customers. That’s an intent problem, not a ranking problem.
You want a second opinion
Your team or an agency is doing the work, and you want someone independent to confirm the plan is right.
The honest limits
Worth saying plainly, because it saves us both time:
- SEO is slow. Real movement usually takes three to six months, and longer in competitive industries.
- Nobody can guarantee rankings. Anyone who does is either wrong or lying.
- If your product, pricing or sales follow-up is the problem, more organic traffic won’t save it.
- Some sites need a rebuild before they need SEO. If that’s you, I’ll say so instead of selling you an audit.
On cost: monthly SEO runs from $300 to $4,000, depending on the size and type of the site and how competitive the category is, and the range is the same in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The article on what SEO costs in Egypt and Saudi Arabia breaks the price down by type of site.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes, including under the agency’s name. Some of my projects are senior support on one specific client problem, where the agency owns the relationship and needs the depth.
In their words.
Clients asked not to be named. Each quote links to the case study with the numbers behind it.
See the numbers (Editor, Arabic lifestyle publisher)Our monthly clicks from Google went from about 113 thousand to more than 190 thousand in three months.
See the numbers (Owner, online store, Egypt)Much more of our catalogue shows up in Google now. Impressions went up by more than a third, and clicks followed.
See the numbers (Manager, services company, Saudi Arabia)We started with almost no visits from Google. Now people find us every month when they search for our services.
Common questions.
Do you replace my agency?
Not always. Many clients keep their agency and use me to set direction and check the work. If the agency is the problem, I'll tell you.
How hands-on are you?
As hands-on as the work needs, from a monthly review to doing the work myself. We agree on it in the proposal.
Do you work in Arabic?
Yes, it's my first language. Arabic keyword research and content are written for people searching in the Gulf and Egypt, not translated from English.
Do you work with businesses in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai or Cairo?
What does it cost?
It depends on the scope. After a first call you get a written proposal with a fixed monthly fee and a clear list of what you get.
Your next move.
Tell me where things are now and where you want them to be. I reply within one business day, in Arabic or English. If I'm not the right person for it, I'll say so.
