Freelance SEO consultant: a plan that names every fix

Search Console, your site's code and your team's time are the three things my SEO consulting works with.

I'm Sandipan Das, a web developer and freelance SEO consultant. I audit your site, write the plan in plain words for your team to carry out, and check the work every month against Google's own numbers.
For SEO done entirely for you, the SEO services page is the better fit. If you'd rather hand over the whole job, my SEO specialists and developers take it on under the SEO services scope.
What you actually getphase one
  • Technical SEO audit: crawl, indexing, speed, structured data, redirects

  • The plan: fixes in order of effect, new pages in order of opportunity — written
  • A read-through on a call, so your team knows why each line is there
  • Search Console and rank tracking set up in your name
  • Monthly: what moved, what to do next — one page

Overview

What a freelance SEO consultant does for your site

A freelance SEO consultant reads your site the way Google does, then tells your team what to do in an order they can follow. I start with the audit, crawling the site and reading it alongside Search Console for indexing, speed and structured data (the code that labels each page for Google). Then I measure your pages against the searches you want and write the plan in plain words, with the work ranked by effect and the missing pages named. Every month after that, I check in Search Console whether any of it moved.

I build websites for a living, and that shapes the advice. The audit and tracking tools come from DevsKing, the SEO tool company I founded in 2026.

Your team does the work. I check it.

  • Indexing: which pages Google has, and which it's skipped
  • Speed: the image, script or plugin holding each page back
  • Rank tracking in Google and in AI answers
  • Structured data: the markup each type of page needs

Process

How SEO consulting runs

Six steps, and the first one is a conversation.

Tech stack

What the advice is built on

Google's own data first, then the audit tools, then a developer's reading of the code.

AuditSite audit tool; the free SEO checkerEach issue, weighted by its effect
KeywordsKeyword research; Search Console's own queriesWhat people type, matched to your pages

Why it matters

Why a developer writes the plan

A finding helps your team when it arrives with its fix. "Improve Core Web Vitals" becomes "resize this hero image, defer this script, replace this plugin", in the order that moves the number most. I've built websites for 9+ years, so I read the theme and the plugins before I write a line of the plan.

Then the numbers decide what's next. Search Console shows, page by page, whether a change moved anything. When a page hasn't moved, I'll rewrite its line in the plan.

Every line names the file, the plugin or the page it touches, so whoever picks it up knows where to start.

  • Fixes named down to the file or the plugin
  • A line rewritten when its page doesn't move
  • Google's own numbers as the measure

What the research says

Four published figures on speed, trust and checkouts

Speed, trust and checkout figures, each from a separate published study.

Developers on hand for the code fixes

When a line in the plan needs code, a developer on my team can take it. Your team takes the lines it can, mine takes the rest, and each is quoted separately.

Case study

Who the SEO work has been for

Daly Middle East, an industrial supplier in the UAE, completed three SEO engagements in 2025 and agreed to be named. Six builds on this site carry the SEO tag too — Activus Energy Advisors, Go Cleaning Brisbane, Green Rhino Restorations, Hanna Tax and Business, IMX Maintenance and Dr Adrienne Little — each launched SEO-ready.

The work comes from my team: three developers, a designer and three SEO specialists in the Kolkata, India office, plus around six people working remotely.

Client feedback

What clients say

  • ★★★★★
    “This seller was AMAZING! He was very quick to answer my questions and to make changes to my site. The website is beautiful and he did a fantastic job. Highly recommended and will use him again for sure!”

When the first fixes are live

Google picks up the changes, and you can see which ones counted

The missing pages exist now, and the slow ones draw quickly on a phone. When a change needs code, a developer at the next desk makes it. Search Console shows which pages are drawing clicks, and you'll know which line of the plan to take on next.

Pricing

How SEO consulting is priced

The audit and the plan happen once. The check happens monthly. Both are written as lines before the work starts, and the monthly line stops when the plan is done or when you choose.

The fixes are ranked by effect, so the first lines your team takes on are the ones that'll count most.

How the lines add up is set out on the quote page, and the SEO services page covers the done-for-you version.

  • Audit + plan: one line, once
  • Monthly check: one line, stop any time
  • Execution: your team — or mine, quoted separately

FAQ

Questions people ask before hiring me

Ask something else

When should I hire an SEO consultant, and when the done-for-you service?

Hire an SEO consultant when your team has people to do the work and wants direction: the read, the plan and the monthly check, from the same person throughout. When you'd rather your team stayed on other work, my team's done-for-you SEO services carry the whole job instead.

Do I need a technical SEO consultant or a content writer first?

A technical SEO consultant comes first when Google can't read the site properly — slow pages, broken redirects, missing structured data, pages it can't find. Content writing comes first when the site reads well and the pages your customers search for don't exist yet. The audit shows which one your site needs, and the plan puts both in order.

How do you charge for SEO consulting services?

SEO consulting services are priced as two lines written before the work starts: the audit and the plan, once, and the monthly check against Search Console, stopped whenever you like. Execution by my team is quoted separately when the plan names it, and you'll find how each line becomes a figure on the quote page.

Can you guarantee rankings as an SEO consultant?

Rankings are Google's decision, so the guarantee an SEO consultant can give is about the work: a full read of what's broken and what's missing, a plan ranked by effect, and Search Console to show what each change did.

Is an SEO consultant for small business worth it?

An SEO consultant for a small business is worth it when the site already brings in some enquiries and you want more of them from search. The plan names the handful of fixes and pages that matter most for a site that size, so a small team can work through it one line at a time.

Do you offer SEO consulting as an SEO consultant in India for clients abroad?

SEO consulting is run from Kolkata, India, for clients abroad: the SEO client named on record is in the UAE, and my team has completed 600+ projects for US clients. The team works on your schedule, in your time zone. The audit is read together on a call, and the plan lives in a shared document you can both edit.
