What our SEO consultancy covers
Good SEO consultancy isn't a report full of jargon. It's working out the handful of changes that will bring you more customers, then making sure they happen. For a local business in Milton Keynes, that usually comes down to six things.
1. Finding the searches that bring customers
We research what people in Milton Keynes actually type into Google for your services, how many search each month and how hard each one is to win. You get a short list of searches worth chasing, not hundreds of keywords that bring visitors who never buy.
2. Your Google Business Profile and Maps rankings
For most local searches, the Google Maps 3-pack appears above the normal results. The right categories, services, service area, photos and regular posts make the biggest difference here. See how we handle this on our local SEO Milton Keynes page.
3. A website Google can understand
One clear page for each main service, page titles and headings that match what people search, fast loading on a phone and proper schema markup. If your current site holds you back, we'll build a new one for free as part of the package.
4. Reviews and local trust
Reviews help you rank and help customers choose you. We set you up with a simple way to ask happy customers, and help you reply well. We never buy or fake reviews.
5. Local listings and links
Your business name, address and phone number need to match everywhere, from Yell and Bing Places to Apple Maps and industry directories. We also look for genuine local links, such as suppliers, partners and Milton Keynes business groups.
6. AI search
More people now ask ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and other AI tools for recommendations. We make sure your business information is clear and consistent so those tools can find you and recommend you too.

- A clear plan. The searches we'll target, what we'll change first and a realistic timeline.
- The work gets done. Website, Business Profile, content, listings and social media, handled by our team and checked by Sam.

SEO consultant Milton Keynes FAQs
What does an SEO consultant in Milton Keynes do?
An SEO consultant works out why your business isn't showing on Google for the searches that matter, then fixes it. For a Milton Keynes business that usually means your Google Business Profile, your website's pages and speed, your reviews, your local listings and your content. Sam does the strategy and stays your contact, and our team carries out the work.
Should I hire an SEO consultant or an SEO agency?
A consultant gives you one expert who knows your business. An agency gives you a team, but you often get passed between account managers. With us you get both: Sam is your consultant from the free audit onwards, and the Lillian Purge team builds your website, writes content and manages your Google Maps listing.
How much does an SEO consultant cost in Milton Keynes?
Freelance SEO consultants often charge by the hour or day for advice, then charge again to carry it out. Our SEO consultancy is part of one package: £350 a month with no setup fee and no tie-in, including the work itself, a free website build, Google Maps management, social media and monthly reporting. See our SEO packages in Milton Keynes for the full details.
Can I speak to the SEO expert directly?
Yes. That's the point of working with a consultant. You can call Sam on 01234 958802, message on WhatsApp or email info@lillianpurge.co.uk. You won't be handed to a sales team.
Do you offer one-off SEO consultancy or an SEO audit?
Every relationship starts with a free SEO audit. Sam looks at where you rank, what your competitors in Milton Keynes are doing better, and the three changes that would bring you the most customers. You can take that advice and do it yourself if you prefer. There's no obligation.
Do you only work with businesses in Milton Keynes?
Most of our clients are in and around Milton Keynes, Bedford and Northampton, but the approach works for any local business targeting one town or area.
Are you an SEO specialist for small businesses?
Yes. We work with trades, clinics, shops and service businesses, from sole traders to businesses with several sites. The package is built for small and local businesses rather than big national brands.
