Strategic SEO for creatives + small businesses
I help creative and service-based small businesses get found online through clear, strategic SEO.
Alongside traditional SEO, I also support businesses with GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), helping their content show up in AI-driven search and answer engines — so their website quietly works behind the scenes to drive consistent traffic and enquiries
Located in Stockport, Greater Manchester. I work with creative and small businesses throughout the UK, the USA and worldwide.
“My rankings are improving and my visibility is much higher. Although my local ranking has been strong for some time, I’m now seeing visibility regionally and even nationally.
Working with Clare has made a huge difference to my business and my confidence””
For your business to show up online, where your ideal client is searching, your website needs three things:
1. A clear SEO foundation
So Google understands who you are and what you do.
2. Content that answers the questions your clients are already asking
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.

Joanna Dunn Yoga: SEO Setup +Monthly SEO Maintenance
“The biggest change I’ve seen since working 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 worked so hard to fill and actually lost money on. I was close to quitting and finding other work.”
