“Abram explained the changes we needed in language we understood. His SEO work put our business on page one for searches and increased our enquiries and online sales.
He broke our problems and goals into bite size pieces, giving us a clear, tangible programme of activity that benefits the whole business.
What started as an analysis and problem solving brief is now a cornerstone of how we share what the gallery is doing with our audience every day.”
“Abram delivered strong organic results on a complex SEO account for us, handling everything from site restructuring to large-scale content strategy.
He brings real technical depth but never loses sight of commercial impact, translating performance into clear reporting for senior, non-technical members of the team.
He was easy to work with throughout the project.”
I work with York and Yorkshire businesses that want senior SEO expertise from someone they can speak to directly, and meet in person in York.
Over 10 years I've worked with enterprise, eCommerce, growth-stage and local businesses.
You deal with one person who knows your business and does the work.
A former agency Head of SEO and Head of Marketing, I still do the hands-on work myself.
I've worked on complex SEO projects with business owners and at C‑suite level.
We can meet at your office in York, at York Guildhall on Coney Street, or on Teams.
You can start with a one-off SEO audit, a site migration or an ongoing retainer.
Over 209,000 people live in York, including tens of thousands of students at the University of York and York St John University. When they need a plumber, an accountant, a dentist or somewhere to eat, they often start with a search, and the city's 9,000 or so businesses compete for those searches every day, across hospitality, retail, professional services, healthcare, trades and the creative industries.
Then there are the visitors to the city. York welcomed 8.88 million of them in 2025, and they spent £2.08 billion in the city, almost a third of it in shops and more than a quarter on food and drink. They search for where to eat, stay and shop before they arrive and while they're here. Good local SEO puts your business in front of both groups at the moment they're looking, so more of that footfall finds its way to you.
That demand isn't spread evenly through the year. Searches surge around York Races, the Christmas markets and the Jorvik Viking Festival, and visitors look for places near the landmarks they're visiting, such as restaurants near York Minster or hotels near the racecourse. Rankings take time to build, so it's worth starting your SEO strategy months before the events that matter most to your business, so you have the visibility in place when the searches arrive.
A first conversation
We meet at your office, at York Guildhall or on Teams to talk through your business and what you want from SEO.
Audit and research
I find out what's holding your site back and where your competitors in York and further afield are winning.
Strategy and forecast
I set out a plan in priority order and forecast the opportunity, so you know what the investment is likely to return.
Delivery and reporting
I do the work myself and report in clear terms on the results that matter to your business.
Throughout our work together, I fit around the way you like to work.
Many clients like an ongoing conversation on WhatsApp or Slack.
Larger teams often prefer email and an Asana or Jira board.
Reporting is tailored to you as well. Rather than pages of numbers that mean little to you, I build a dashboard around the figures that matter to your business, and I make sure you understand what each one is telling you.
Over 10 years I've worked on SEO for local businesses, national retailers and international brands, in York and across the UK.
