What is your background and experience?

I'm a Barnsley-based SEO consultant and web strategist with over a decade of experience helping businesses across Yorkshire and the UK improve their search visibility and grow organically. My background combines technical SEO expertise with practical business understanding, having worked with everything from local Barnsley businesses to enterprise-level clients.

Why do you focus on Barnsley and Yorkshire?

I'm based in Barnsley and understand the unique challenges and opportunities that local Yorkshire businesses face. Whether it's competing with Sheffield or Leeds, targeting local searches in Barnsley, Wakefield, or Doncaster, or supporting broader Yorkshire campaigns, I know what works in this market.

What makes your approach different?

I focus on strategy-led SEO that goes beyond quick fixes. Rather than chasing rankings alone, I work on building sustainable growth through better content, stronger technical foundations, and clearer user journeys.

Do you work with businesses outside Yorkshire?

Yes. While Barnsley and Yorkshire are my core focus, I support businesses across the UK. Many clients want local SEO support in their area while also building broader search visibility.

How do you measure success?

Success is measured by business outcomes, not just rankings. I track organic traffic growth, lead quality improvements, conversion rate changes, and how SEO contributes to your wider goals.

Do you provide ongoing support or just one-off projects?

Both. Some businesses need a one-off SEO audit or website project, while others benefit from ongoing monthly support. SEO works best as a continuous process — I can support either approach depending on your needs.

Strategy-led SEO and web design that delivers

I deliver measurable SEO and conversion-focused web design for businesses in Barnsley and across the UK. Every engagement is built on technical insight, clear reporting, and content that aligns to search intent.

Contact me

Results-driven SEO strategy

I start by agreeing what a valuable enquiry or sale looks like for your business. Search visibility and traffic are reviewed alongside those outcomes, with tracking gaps made clear. That keeps the work connected to the services you want to grow.

Tailored growth plans

Your priorities depend on the website you have, the customers you serve and the resources available. I review those factors before recommending work, then explain which changes should come first and what your team needs to contribute.

Search intent research

I research the questions and service searches your prospective customers use, then assess what they need from the page. The findings guide content structure and targeting, with buying intent and relevance considered alongside search volume.

my approach

Clear strategy for sustainable SEO growth

I start every project with a technical audit, competitor research, and a roadmap that ties visibility to conversions. Sustainable growth, not vanity metrics.

my mission

Help businesses grow

I help UK businesses make their services easier to find and understand online. That means practical work on the website, useful explanations for customers and a clear way to assess whether the changes are bringing better enquiries.

my vision

Trusted SEO partner

I want clients to understand their website well enough to make informed decisions about it. Direct conversations, explainable recommendations and a manageable plan help build a working relationship that can develop as the business changes.

my values

Transparent and honest

I explain what the evidence shows, what remains uncertain and what a recommendation involves before work begins. If a task needs input from your team or sits outside the agreed scope, I make that clear so you can plan around it.

how it works

Step-by-step process to SEO success

Each engagement follows a clear, proven workflow: audit, strategy, implementation, and reporting. You always know what’s being done and why.

discovery & audit

I review your website, available search data and the pages competing for your main services. We also discuss the enquiries you want more of, so the audit reflects the business as well as its technical setup.

strategy & roadmap

I turn the findings into a sequence of practical tasks with clear reasons and responsibilities. We agree what happens first and how the work fits your budget, content approvals and development capacity.

implementation

I deliver the agreed website and content changes, or provide briefs and checks for your existing team. Completed work is reviewed on the live site so we can confirm that the intended changes are in place.

reporting & growth

I review performance against the starting position and discuss the quality of the enquiries received. The next priorities follow that evidence, with realistic expectations about what needs more time and what needs a different approach.

how I help

Support built around your growth

Technical SEO

I handle audits, crawl issues, schema, and performance improvements.

Content strategy

I plan service pages, support content, and internal linking around real search intent.

Reporting & priorities

I keep the roadmap focused on visibility, lead quality, and the next highest-value fix.

Client testimonial

A website Oracle is proud to share

Phil was very responsive throughout the build of our Oracle Training Consultants website. He listened to the challenges we were facing and put practical solutions in place to resolve them. I really appreciated how he took the time to understand what we needed and followed through with solutions that work for our business. I love the look of the new website and how it presents our business. Having a website we're proud to share makes a real difference.
The website is already generating new enquiries for us, which is lovely to see. Customers can now pay using Klarna too, giving them another payment option. I'm really pleased with what Phil has created for Oracle Training Consultants. I'll definitely use Phil again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with their website. It's been a pleasure working with him.
