Build a starting plan

Working together

You know who is doing the work.

You work directly with me. We agree what matters, document the plan and keep track of what changes.

  1. 01

    Understand the website

    I review what you sell, who your customers are, and what you want to improve. Your pages and existing search data help me see where to start.

  2. 02

    Research the opportunities

    I compare your content and technical setup with the search results. I look for missing information, underperforming pages, and problems that make the site harder to use or find.

  3. 03

    Make the changes

    We agree on the work and fee before starting. I update content and WordPress pages, or work with your team on changes that need a developer.

  4. 04

    Check and report

    I check the published changes and report on relevant search performance, traffic, and customer inquiries where tracking is available. That helps us choose the next priorities.

FAQ

A few useful answers

How much does SEO consulting cost?

The fee depends on the website, the work needed, and whether you want an audit, implementation, or ongoing support. Send me a short description of the project; I’ll explain the proposed work and price before we start.

Can we work together without calls?

Yes. I work remotely with teams worldwide, mainly through email and shared documents. My written English is strong; speaking and listening are still improving. If you prefer Turkish, we can also arrange a call.

Do you offer one-time projects?

Yes. You can start with an audit, a content plan, a technical investigation, or a set of WordPress updates. Regular support is also available if you need someone to keep working on the site.

How do you measure SEO progress?

I track completed work separately from search results. Depending on the project, I review relevant queries, page traffic, indexing, and recorded inquiries or sales. We agree on the measures at the start. Rankings and results cannot be guaranteed.
