Monthly SEO Support
You want your small business to show up in online searches - but you don’t have the time (or any desire!) to learn SEO to make that happen. The good news is that you don’t have to. That’s where I come in.
Hi, I’m Clare, an SEO consultant
I specialise in SEO for creatives and service based businesses that serve a community locally or work in a specific physical location.
I’m here to help the right people find your creative business online.
My background as a floral designer and small business owner means I genuinely understand the realities of running a business — the long hours, the many hats, and the need for marketing that doesn’t drain your energy.
When you hire me, you can stop even having to think about SEO (let alone having to take the time to learn how to DIY it effectively). Month by month, your business will start climbing the rankings in Google and you’ll start getting more website traffic, more online inquiries or phone calls, more foot traffic - more ideal customers finding you online.
I take care of it all (content strategy, keyword research, blog writing, sorting tech issues with Google analytics, etc etc) freeing you to spend time doing what you love.
“Clare is thorough and understands the back end - you don’t have to! I don’t really want to spend my time even thinking about SEO. I want to spend it doing what I’m good at and what I love. With Clare, she takes care of all of it and truly cares about my business and the progress that is being made.
Clare’s competence, creativity and reliability have transformed my relationship to my business, freeing me up to focus on the aspects that I enjoy while she takes care of so many details that I don’t want to do, or have the expertise to do.
What Clare does for my business is way beyond my expectations and worth every penny.”

What results can you expect from Monthly SEO Support?
Rather than one-off updates or sporadic efforts, this is about building visibility over time. Month by month, we strengthen your search presence, publish purposeful content, and support it with thoughtful distribution.
Over time, here are the kinds of results my clients have seen:

Increased foot traffic, phone calls and enquiries
What’s different about my approach?
Here’s what you get when we work together:
Tailored strategic marketing strategy, not templates
Your business isn’t one-size-fits-all, your SEO shouldn’t be either. Every strategy I create is built around your specific goals, industry, and audience.A deep understanding of your business
I take the time to really get to know your world - your services, your customers, and what success looks like to you - so every step we take is intentional and aligned with growth.Fully focused on your website
No distractions, no add-ons you don’t need. I focus on building strong SEO foundations so your website works harder for you, and takes the pressure off constant posting on social media by helping ideal clients find you organically.Clear, honest communication
With my SEO maintenance services there’s no jargon, no mystery. I explain what we’re doing and why, so you always understand how SEO is moving your business forward.
I come from a strong creative background - I understand the community and I’m passionate about it!
Hiring me is not like working with a big digital agency. You get direct access to me. You won’t get passed from one account manager to another and your work won’t get delegated to assistants or interns - you’ll get my personal attention. You work one-to-one with me from strategy to implementation.
SEO is my thing — full stop. I don’t run ads, or offer social media packages. My focus stays on what I’m best at: the foundations that help your business show up in search.
How does monthly SEO maintenance work?
My Monthly SEO Support is designed for businesses who want consistent, ongoing visibility without having to manage SEO alone.
When you first sign up for five months of support, I’ll carry out an SEO audit of your site. This is essentially a health check for your website. It tells us what’s working, what’s holding you back, and where the real opportunities are.
It’s a deep dive into how your website is currently performing and includes keyword research, on-page optimisation (titles, meta descriptions and headings), blog and content opportunities, technical checks, user experience research, competitor insights, Google Business Profile recommendations and analytics setup where needed
Personalise your Monthly SEO Support
I tailor your strategy to your goals each month.
Choose what's included.
Keyword mapping
Tracking and mapping your keywords so Google understands what each page is about, who it's for and where it should rank, bringing more of the right visitors to your site.
Ongoing onsite SEO
Continual small tweaks to your onsite SEO – refreshing copy for clarity, improving internal linking and more – all supporting your visibility in the background.
Google Profile management
Managing and optimising your profile, including replying to reviews. Often the first impression people have of your business, it directly impacts your visibility in local search and Google Maps.
Blog research and writing
Two blogs per month included in your retainer: one 800-word and one 1,300-word. Researched and written to support pillar topics, answer key questions and strengthen your authority in your niche.
Clear monthly reporting
Straightforward, easy-to-understand reports delivered each month, so you always have a clear picture of what's working, what's improved and why it matters.
When we meet for our discovery call, we can also discuss whether you would benefit from optional add-ons such as an audit and optimisation of previous blogs, e-commerce product optimisation, or set-up for either Google Analytics or Google Search Console.
Monthly SEO maintenance investment
This is a hands-on, collaborative service with an initial five-month commitment
starting at £450 per month
SEO takes time. While every website is different, most businesses begin to see meaningful progress within 4–6 months of consistent SEO and content work. This timeframe allows space for strategy, implementation, testing and measurable results — not quick fixes.
“Clare supports Simple Life Things on a month-to-month retainer, helping with SEO, blog optimisation, and Google Business Profile management. Her long-term, calm and consistent approach has helped increase our local visibility and led to more event and workshop bookings. Having ongoing support has taken the pressure off and given us confidence that our online presence is working quietly in the background.
If someone was to ask me whether to work with Clare, I’d say: rush, go do it! It’s had a more positive impact on my business than I would have believed would be possible. I’ve seen more return on investment with her than with anything else I’ve done for leads or customer acquisition. She’s amazing and anyone would be lucky to work with her."
