Search Console and crawl review
We read your queries, pages, and indexing reports, then crawl the site to find what holds growth back.
The Problem
Your Team Works Hard on SEO Tasks That Don't Move Rankings
Most teams don't lack effort. They lack a ranked plan, so writers, developers, and marketers spend months on tasks that look busy and change nothing.
01 · Priorities
Checklists get worked top to bottom, with no order of impact.
Every task gets an impact and effort score, so the order is clear.
02 · Busywork
Hours go into tags and tweaks that Google Search ignores.
We name the tasks that won't move rankings, so you can drop them.
03 · Handoffs
Advice arrives as a slide deck your developer can't act on.
Each fix becomes a ticket with the page, the change, and the check.
04 · Reviews
Changes go live without anyone checking them for SEO risk.
Review calls catch risky redirects, noindex tags, and canonicals before launch.
Your marketer read a stack of SEO checklists and started on all of them at once. Your writer publishes two posts a week for keywords a plugin rated green. Your developer added a keywords meta tag that Google Search doesn't use, while important pages sit unindexed. The agency you called wants a monthly retainer, but you're not sure effort is the problem. Six months later, traffic is flat and nobody knows which task mattered.
We start with your data: Search Console, GA4, and a crawl of your site. Then a senior consultant scores every task by its likely effect on leads and the effort it takes. Each recommendation becomes a ticket your developers and writers can ship, and review calls check the work before it goes live. Guesswork stops, and the fixes that count go first.
Tasks ranked by impact
Every recommendation is scored for lead impact and effort, so the work that counts starts first.
Advice written as tickets
Each fix names what to change, where, why, and how to check that it worked.
Work reviewed before launch
We check drafts, pull requests, and staging pages before changes reach your live site.
Our SEO Consulting Process
From First Call to a Ranked Plan in Five Clear Steps
You share read-only access, join one working session, and get a plan your developers and writers can ship, with reviews as the work goes live.
We talk through your goals, your staff, and what you've tried, then confirm which plan fits. If a one-time fix or our monthly SEO services suit you better, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get With Our SEO Consulting Services
A senior review of your data, a working session with your staff, ranked tickets, a keyword map, and reviews of the work, sized to the plan you choose.
Compare Options
DeveloperLook vs a Full-Service Agency vs DIY Tools
DIY tools cost the least and suit teams with time to learn. A full-service agency does the work for a monthly fee. Here's how an SEO consultancy compares.

|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | From $650, one-time | Monthly retainer | Low monthly subscription |
| Who does the work | Your team, with our tickets | The agency's team | You, alone |
| Prioritization | Ranked by lead impact and effort | Set by the agency's plan | Tool scores, not business impact |
| Technical detail | Developer-level tickets | Varies by agency staff | Automated warnings only |
| Know-how kept in-house | Grows with every ticket | Mostly stays with the agency | Grows, if you have time |
| Speed to start | Plan in about 1 week | Weeks of onboarding | Start today |
| Checks before launch | Review calls in engagement plans | Agency checks its own work | Not included |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams whose websites we designed and built.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why In-House Teams Trust Us With SEO Advice
We advise the way we'd want to be advised: plain reasons, written priorities, and respect for the hours your staff have each week.
We teach as we advise
Every ticket explains why the change matters, not only what to do. Your writers and developers get better at SEO with each fix, so you need us less over time.
We name what to skip
Some popular tasks don't change rankings, such as the keywords meta tag Google Search ignores. We say so plainly, so your team's hours go to work that counts.
No promises Google warns about
Google's hiring guide warns about SEOs who promise rankings or claim insider ties to Google. We give realistic targets and show you the data behind them.
Advice a developer can use
Our consultants work beside developers, so tickets name the template, the tag, or the redirect rule. Your developer doesn't have to translate SEO jargon into code.
Honest about done-for-you
If nobody in-house has time to ship the plan, consulting won't help. We'll say so and point you to our monthly SEO program instead.
Read-only access is enough
We ask for read access to Search Console and GA4, not admin rights. Your accounts, data, and decisions stay with you throughout.

Good fit
In-house marketers who own SEO alone
You're the only marketer, SEO landed on your plate, and you want a senior SEO expert to check your plan before you spend a quarter on it.
Content teams publishing every week
Your writers publish every week, but signups from organic search stay flat, and nobody has mapped which search each article should win.
Companies planning a redesign
You're rebuilding your site on WordPress, Webflow, or Next.js and want someone to check redirects, templates, and staging before launch day.
Owners with a freelancer or junior hire
Your SEO is handled by a freelancer or junior marketer, and you want a second opinion on whether their tasks are the right ones.
Agencies needing a senior second opinion
You run a web or content agency, a client's SEO problem is beyond your staff, and you want advice you can present as your own.
Not a fit
Want it done for you
You want someone else to do the SEO work every month. Our SEO Services program runs it for you, with fixes, content, and links handled by our team.
Shopify store owners
Your store runs on Shopify and you want theme-level fixes from a platform specialist. Shopify SEO Expert covers that platform in more depth.
Technical fixes only
You already know what to fix and need code-level crawl, rendering, and indexing work shipped. Technical SEO Services delivers that as a project.

Send a message or book a call with the team.
DeveloperLook's consulting plans start at $650 for a consultation with a data review, a 90-minute session, and your top 10 fixes. A full engagement adds an audit, a keyword map for up to 30 pages, a 90-day roadmap, and 3 review calls for $1,250. Team Advisory starts at $2,050, and each price is fixed after a free intro call.
A consultation takes about 1 week from access to written plan. We review your Search Console, GA4, and crawl data in 3 to 5 days, then hold the 90-minute session. Ranked tickets follow within 2 business days. Full engagements run 3 to 8 weeks, since review calls follow your pace.
SEO consulting is paid advice on how a website can earn more organic traffic, given as findings, priorities, and reviews instead of hands-on work. A consultant studies your data and site, then tells you what to change and in what order. Google's hiring guide lists SEO training and technical advice among the services one can offer.
An SEO consultant finds what limits your search traffic and tells your team how to fix it, in order of impact. The work starts in Search Console and a crawl: indexing gaps, duplicate pages, slow templates, and pages stuck on page two. Good consultants check changes before launch, since one wrong canonical or noindex tag can hide pages from Google.
The key benefits of hiring a consultant for SEO are senior judgment without a senior salary and a team that learns while it works. You pay once instead of a monthly retainer, and your writers and developers keep the knowledge. The trade-off is time: your team needs a few hours each week to ship the tickets.
Ask SEO consultants for examples of past work, how they measure success, and whether they follow Google Search Essentials. Google's hiring guide adds their experience in your industry and country, and how they'll communicate. Also ask who writes the recommendations and whether they review changes before launch. Be wary of anyone promising a first-place ranking, which Google says no one can guarantee.
Find a good consultant for SEO by buying a short, paid review before any long engagement. The output shows how they think: advice tied to your pages and data, or a generic checklist. Look for someone who reads code as well as content, and check that an SEO consulting company names the person doing the work.
Hire a consultant for SEO with a fixed scope: what they review, what you receive, how many calls, and how long email support lasts. Share read-only access to Search Console and GA4 instead of admin logins. Our SEO consultant services follow that pattern and begin with a free intro call.
Judge a consulting firm's results against the baseline recorded at the start, not against ranking screenshots. Compare clicks, impressions, and indexed pages in Search Console, and leads in GA4, for the pages the plan changed. Allow time: Google says some changes take effect within hours, while others need several months.
After a consulting engagement with DeveloperLook ends, you keep the plan, the tickets, the keyword map, and the call recordings, with no retainer. Email support continues for 14, 30, or 60 days, depending on your plan. When you want more help, you can book another review or hand the plan to our monthly SEO team.
