"My retreat filled up seven months early"

I am a yoga teacher whose primary business is leading retreats. The biggest change that I have seen since starting to work with Clare is that my retreats are filling way earlier than they were a year ago.

One of my retreats recently filled up seven months early. Three or four years ago, I was in tears after a retreat that I felt I worked hard to fill and I actually lost money on. I was close to quitting and finding other work. My rankings are improving and my visibility is much higher.

With Clare’s help, my local ranking has been high for some time, and now I am getting more visibility regionally and even nationally.”

Hi, I’m Clare

I’m an SEO strategist located in Stockport, Greater Manchester, working with established coaches and retreat leaders throughout the UK, the USA and worldwide. Your ideal customers are searching for your services online - I can help your website show up there.

Does this sound good?

As a former wedding and event florist who built and ran my own business, I understand the realities of wearing every hat. I know how frustrating it can feel when you're putting your heart into your work but struggling to get found online. I also understand that marketing can feel overwhelming when you're already managing clients, projects, admin, and everything else that comes with running a business.

My approach is collaborative, practical, friendly and designed to make SEO simpler. I’ll help more of the right people discover you online in traditional search and AI overview, whilst saying true to you and your business, build trust in your expertise, and support your long-term growth.

HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER

It all starts with an audit of your SEO - you choose the service that works best for you
and if you’re not sure let’s talk it through first…

"Clare makes a complex, opaque world feel more manageable. "

“Hiring Clare was a no-brainer for me. As a creative mentor, my energy is meant to go toward working directly with my clients—not trying to understand or keep up with SEO. Clare brings a rare combination of deep expertise and true accessibility: she helps me understand what we’re doing while taking the labor off my shoulders. She also makes a complex, opaque world feel more manageable. Working with her has freed me to focus on the creative work that’s at the core of my business. I plan to work with Clare for the foreseeable future, and can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Monthly SEO service

Consistent monthly support, content & strategy

The main way I work with clients is via a monthly retainer - with a minimum four month commitment - to give you ongoing, hands-on support across SEO, content and marketing – so everything works together.

Perfect if you’d like long-term partnership designed to support steady, sustainable growth, plus SEO maintenance plans with monthly reports.

Not quite ready for monthly support? Let’s start with an SEO audit.

For your business to show up online, where your ideal customer is searching, your website needs three things:

1. A clear SEO foundation - so Google and AI overviews understand who you are and what you do.

2. Content that answers the questions your clients are already asking - with human messaging and copy that remains true to you and your business. This is what builds trust and search visibility.

3. A simple, supportive plan so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to be seen.

That’s what I help with!

"Clare was attentive to the core of my values, and didn't ask me to sacrifice my authenticity in order to work on ranking for searches."

“Clare has provided exceptional support for my business. As someone entirely new to SEO, I needed a lot of help to even give her access to the back end of my webpage;) Clare was patient, creative, and resourceful in how she communicated with me, even sending short how-to videos so that I could keep the ball rolling on our work together. She was attentive to the core of my values, and didn't ask me to sacrifice my authenticity in order to work on ranking for searches. Clare is warm, funny, and very talented. I unhesitatingly encourage anyone who needs SEO help to hire Clare Ashbrook today!”
