In brief: SEO consulting is a service for companies with their own marketing or SEO team that need expert guidance, a second opinion, and a review of their decisions and work. Execution remains with your team. We work hourly from €150/hour, with 5- and 10-hour packages, or through monthly strategic support from €700 without hands-on execution on our side.
We also offer migration consulting from €750, mentoring, and team training. If you need a comprehensive site analysis with documented findings and a prioritized implementation plan, the appropriate service is our SEO audit. We have more than 15 years of experience and have been operating since May 2010. The initial discovery meeting is free.
SEO consulting is the right choice when you have the capacity to carry out the SEO work yourself but need expert guidance, feedback, or an independent opinion. Typical cases in which clients contact us include:
If you want to outsource hands-on SEO execution, see our monthly SEO optimization service. If you need a standalone comprehensive analysis with documented findings and a prioritized plan, choose our SEO audit.

A useful analogy
We have structured our consulting services into six formats according to what you need:
For one-off questions, an independent opinion on a specific decision, or an expert review when needed. It suits you if you have a specific question (for example, "is it worth moving from WordPress to a headless architecture?") that you want to discuss with an expert for an hour or two.
A consulting review of a specific issue with a clearly defined scope. Examples include a second opinion on a rebranding plan, a review of research for a new product line, or an assessment of risks in a prepared migration plan. We provide recommendations and next steps, while execution remains with your team. The price and scope are determined during the free initial meeting.
Ongoing strategic support without hands-on execution on our side. It usually includes two 60-90 minute meetings per month, email contact, and a review of results and upcoming decisions. It is suitable for companies with their own team that need external SEO expertise and consistent feedback.
Regular working sessions with your marketing or SEO team to discuss priorities, review completed work, and prepare upcoming decisions. We help your team build a process, evaluate results, and avoid recurring mistakes without taking over operational execution.
Before a domain change, redesign, CMS migration, or move to another platform, we review the plan prepared by your team, the redirect map, and the pre- and post-migration checklists. We identify risks and required checks, while technical execution remains with your team or developer.
One- or two-day training for your marketing departments. Topics are tailored to the team's level - from SEO fundamentals for junior marketers to advanced topics such as log file analysis, SEO for JavaScript sites, or AI search optimization strategies. A recording is included so the team can review the material later.
It depends on the format, but consulting engagements usually include a combination of the following activities. They focus on your team's decisions and work, not on a standalone comprehensive site audit:
A comprehensive technical and content analysis with documented findings and a prioritized plan is the separate SEO audit service.
We have experience with the following types of organizations:
We understand that working with an external consultant requires clear boundaries and responsibilities. That is why our process is transparent:
| Format | Price | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery meeting | Free | Initial contact and clarification of the need |
| Single consulting hour | €150 | A specific question, second opinion, or brief review |
| 5-hour package | €750 - €150/hour | Review of a plan or completed work, several related questions, or short-term mentoring |
| 10-hour package | €1,500 - €150/hour | Extended consulting support and work with an in-house team |
| Monthly consulting retainer | From €700 | Ongoing strategic support without hands-on execution |
| Migration consulting | From €750 | Review of the plan, risks, and checks before and after migration |
| In-person training (1 day) | By agreement | Training for marketing and SEO teams |
| In-person training (2 days, intensive) | By agreement | In-depth training for advanced teams |
All prices include VAT. There are no hidden fees. For a more specific scope, we prepare a custom proposal, while the consulting engagement remains without hands-on execution on our side.
Several things distinguish us from independent SEO consultants and large agencies:
An SEO agency takes on the agreed hands-on execution - site changes, content, and other activities. An SEO consultant provides expert guidance, a second opinion, work reviews, and training, while execution remains with your team.
It depends on the format. A single consulting hour is €150. The 5-hour package is €750, and the 10-hour package is €1,500. Monthly strategic support without hands-on execution starts from €700, while migration consulting starts from €750.
Yes, this is standard procedure for corporate clients. The agreement is signed before the kick-off meeting, before we gain access to any data or strategic documents.
Yes. We have several digital agencies as ongoing clients, for whose clients we provide SEO expertise. We maintain full confidentiality and do not contact the end client directly if the agency does not wish it.
With the monthly consulting retainer, we usually hold two 60-90 minute meetings per month, plus email contact. With hour packages, meeting frequency depends on the specific issue.
The tools depend on the specific question. When needed, we work with Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, and structured data validation tools. We use them for the agreed consulting issue, not as a promise of a full technical, content, or backlink analysis.
SEO consulting is interactive expert support for specific decisions and work carried out by your team. An SEO audit is a standalone comprehensive analysis with documented findings and a prioritized plan. If you need a full site analysis, choose an SEO audit rather than a package of consulting hours.
Yes. We work with clients in the European Union, the United Kingdom, the USA, and Asia.
Hands-on work is contracted as a separate service with a different scope, responsibilities, and price. If you want to outsource execution, see our monthly SEO optimization service. The consulting engagement itself remains without hands-on execution on our side.
