Process

How working with me actually goes

No mystery process, no client portal you'll never log into. Four steps, in plain English.

01
Audit

Look at the site

I look at your site personally. Real Ahrefs data, technical scan, manual review. You get an honest list of what's working and what isn't.

02
Strategy

Prioritise

We talk through priorities. What's worth doing first, what can wait, what isn't worth doing at all. No upselling, no inflated scope.

03
Implement

Do the work

I do the actual work. Writing, editing, technical changes, page builds. Bi-weekly progress emails so you know exactly where things stand.

04
Report

Real numbers

Real numbers, in plain English. What moved, what didn't, what we're trying next. Zero "executive dashboard" nonsense.

Zain — freelance SEO and WordPress consultant in London
Who I am

Hi, I'm Zain.

A London-based freelance SEO consultant with a software engineering background and an MSc in Digital Marketing, completed in 2025. I currently lead in-house tech work at a London law firm, and I'm building this freelance practice in public — which means I'd rather be honest about what I'm still learning than pretend I have ten years of agency war stories.

If you want polished sales fluff, plenty of agencies will give you that. If you want someone who'll actually look at your site, tell you the truth about it, and only take on the work if I genuinely think I can help — that's the part I'm trying to do well.
