SEO Consultant: Senior SEO Consulting for In-House Teams
SEO consulting for in-house teams that can build but need someone senior to choose the work. Brenden House sets the plan across technical SEO, content, links, GEO and AEO, so your team's effort turns into rankings, AI answers and pipeline.
SEO consulting in short
Technical SEO and on-page SEO
With technical SEO and on-page SEO, we fix whatever stops Google and the AI engines reading your site, then build the comparison, industry and integration pages your buyers are already searching for. It all sits on a website you own, connected to Search Console and GA4, so you can see which pages bring in enquiries.
AI SEO, GEO and AEO
Through AI SEO, GEO and AEO, we make your pages and the facts about your company the ones ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers quote. We keep checking what those answers say about you, and fix whatever keeps your name out.
Link building, reviews and citations
Through link building and digital PR, we earn the links, reviews, citations, press and mentions that back up your pages on other sites. Google ranks pages with that backing, and AI answers recommend companies that other sources agree on.
Should you hire an SEO consultant, an SEO freelancer or an agency?
An SEO consultant fits when your team can build pages and change code but needs someone to set the plan. An SEO freelancer fits a set job, like a one-off project or a second opinion on your agency. An agency fits when nobody on your side has time to build. Advice only pays once someone acts on it, so match the hire to who will build. Whoever you pick, ask who does the work and make sure you own the site and analytics.
What does an AI SEO consultant cover?
An AI SEO consultant at Searchmaxxed directs four kinds of work: SEO, AEO, GEO and technical SEO. Google says the same SEO basics apply to AI Overviews and AI Mode. A page must be indexed and eligible for a snippet before those features can link to it. So we plan rankings and AI answers together, and judge both on one scoreboard: qualified enquiries.
SEO consulting that wins your buyers' Google searches
AEO consulting that gets you named in AI answers
GEO consultant work that gets ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity quoting you
Technical SEO calls before they cost you
What do our SEO consulting services include?
Our SEO consulting services cover six jobs, from the first read of your data to the review of what went live. Each one ends in work your team can build, or work we build for you.
Diagnosis from your own data
We read your Search Console and GA4 first. Then we check rankings, live results, competitor pages and what AI tools say about you. You see the searches worth winning, the order to take them in and the work to skip.
A plan your team can build
You get a 90-day plan ranked by what each move is worth. Each item names the page or fix, the buyer search it targets and the effect we expect. Your developers and writers know what to build, and in what order.
Migration and rebuild calls
Site migrations, platform changes and recovery after an update are the calls where a mistake is hardest to undo. We weigh the evidence and the risk, then recommend a path in writing. When a new site is the answer, our Agentic Migration moves it to a repository you own.
Content and page direction
We decide which pages should exist and what each one must answer for the buyer. Google says SEO helps when it's applied to people-first content. So we review every draft against the search it targets before it goes live.
Off-page SEO direction
Rankings and AI answers both lean on what other sites say about you. We plan the links, reviews, citations, press and mentions that back up your pages. Your team runs them, or we do.
Working sessions with your team
We work with your people on live pages and write playbooks for your stack. Review gates keep quality steady as more pages go live. The aim is a team that needs us less each quarter.
How does SEO consulting with Searchmaxxed run?
Every person on our team works with AI agents, so we can go deep on your data and your market. We weigh what we find against your plan and choose what to build next. Your team builds it, or we do. When we build, the website is yours from day one. Off your site, we win the links, citations and mentions that back it up. You see every change and what it moved.
- STEP 01
A 30-minute call
You talk to the people who would run the work. We open your Search Console and rankings live if you share them, and if search is the wrong fix right now, we tell you. - STEP 02
The AI SEO Audit
In five business days we map where buyers search without finding you and what the site is doing to itself. You get every fix in order of value, and the plan. If you start within 14 days, we credit the audit to your build or first month. - STEP 03
Direction from your own data
We keep pulling fresh data and ranking what to build next. Your team builds it, or we do, and every change goes live on a site you own. - STEP 04
A monthly decision memo
Every recommendation goes in writing with the effect we expect. Each month we check it against the result and against your competitors, so you can see which advice paid off.
