I'm Zain, a local SEO expert working with London businesses on the things most agencies quietly hand to a junior. Software engineering degree, MSc Digital Marketing, and real search data behind every recommendation. You deal with me, not an account manager.
No spam, no signup forms, no follow-up calls. Real audit, sent by me, within 48 hours.
ZainSEO is the practice of Zain, a local SEO expert based in London offering search engine optimisation, WordPress development, and ongoing website management for small and medium businesses across the capital. Services cover local SEO and Google Business Profile work, on-page and technical SEO, keyword research, content strategy, WordPress builds and rebuilds, site speed and Core Web Vitals, and monthly website maintenance.
Clients include a London law firm, a UAE painting and maintenance company, and a hospitality business, spanning Google Business Profile reinstatement, review generation systems, and full site rebuilds. Every engagement starts with a free SEO audit, is led personally rather than delegated to a junior, and is priced without agency markup.
Three focused services, plus a free audit to work out what you actually need. I lead every engagement personally, so your strategy never gets delegated away from me.
On-page, technical, and local SEO for London businesses that want real progress without the agency markup. Audits with priorities, not 100 item PDFs nobody reads.
WordPress builds, rebuilds, and speed fixes, done properly, without the plugin bloat that slows most sites down.
A monthly plan to keep your site running smoothly. Updates, backups, security, content uploads, and the troubleshooting you would rather not deal with. More than 5 years of doing exactly this work.
Send me your URL. I will personally review your site and email you the five biggest issues, plus exactly how to fix them. Forty eight hours, no sales pitch.
No inflated numbers, no ten years of agency war stories I do not have. Here is what is real.
A software engineering degree means I read your site the way a search engine crawls it, not the way a marketer skims it.
MSc Digital Marketing, completed in London in 2025. Strategy grounded in method, not in whatever tactic is trending this quarter.
More than five years quietly maintaining WordPress sites. Not glamorous, but it is why nothing breaks on my watch.
Live projects, named clients, honest status updates. If something is in progress, the site says in progress.
Local SEO lives and dies on your Google Business Profile. Four real examples, shared with each client's permission.
Their Google Business Profile was terminated, which removes a local business from Maps entirely. I worked through the appeal and reinstatement process until the listing was restored. The profile now holds a 5 star rating and continues to collect genuine customer reviews.
A London law firm with 30,000 clients built over twenty years, and almost none of that goodwill visible on Google. I built a review request system the firm sends to its own genuine clients. Over 100 reviews followed within roughly two weeks, lifting the profile rating from 3.8 to 4.1. Website rebuild and SEO work ongoing.
Happy walk in customers were being asked for reviews, then having to find the business on Maps themselves. That friction was quietly killing the request. I set up an NFC card and QR stand at the counter so a review takes one tap. Reviews started arriving the same day.
I created and optimised their Google Business Profile five years ago. It still ranks at the top of local results in its area and continues to bring in steady enquiries. Local SEO done properly is not a campaign, it compounds.
No mystery process, no client portal you will never log into. Four steps, in plain English.
I look at your site personally. Real search data, technical scan, manual review. You get an honest list of what is working and what is not.
We talk through priorities together. What is worth doing first, what can wait, what is not worth doing at all. No upselling, no inflated scope.
The work gets done properly. Writing, editing, technical changes, page builds, with me overseeing every step. Bi-weekly progress emails so you always know where things stand.
Real numbers, in plain English. What moved, what did not, what we are trying next. Zero executive dashboard nonsense.
A London based SEO consultant with a software engineering background and an MSc in Digital Marketing, completed in 2025. I lead in-house tech work at a London law firm, and I am building this practice in public, which means I would rather be honest about what I am still learning than pretend I have ten years of agency war stories.
I also founded Zevon Digital, a small marketing studio for clients who need design and development alongside their SEO. Either way, the person reading your site and setting the strategy is me.
If you want polished sales fluff, plenty of agencies will give you that. If you want someone who will 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 is the part I am trying to do well.
Read the full About →I work with businesses right across Greater London, from the City out to the suburbs. Local SEO is mostly remote work, so wherever you are in London, we can start with an audit and a call.
Not in London? Most of this work happens remotely. Get in touch and we will see if it makes sense.
My SEO retainers start at £295 per month. WordPress projects start at £550. Website management starts at £65 per month. London agencies typically charge considerably more for the same work, largely because you are also paying for account managers, offices, and the junior who actually does the task. You are not paying for any of that here.
Three things, mostly. Getting your Google Business Profile right so you appear in the local map pack. Making your website technically sound and relevant for the searches your customers actually type. And building the signals, reviews and citations that tell Google you are a real, trusted business in your area.
Google Business Profile improvements can move within days. Review generation, done properly, can shift a rating in weeks. Website ranking changes usually take three to six months to show clearly. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either lucky or lying, and you cannot tell which until your money is gone.
Yes. Send me your URL and I will review the site personally and email you the five biggest issues with exactly how to fix them, within 48 hours. No automated PDF, no signup funnel, no follow up sales call unless you ask for one. You can take the list and fix everything yourself.
Sometimes. I have done it, most notably for Falak Almurjan, whose profile was terminated and is now restored and rated 5 stars. Reinstatement depends entirely on why the profile was removed and what documentation exists. I will tell you honestly whether it looks recoverable before you pay me anything.
By removing friction, not by buying reviews. For Wimbledon Solicitors I built a system the firm uses to ask its own genuine clients. For Vibes of Hyderabad, an NFC card and QR stand at the counter turned a two minute search into a one tap review. No incentives, no fake accounts, no filtering out unhappy customers. That approach gets profiles suspended, and I will not do it.
Most of this work happens remotely, so distance is rarely the obstacle. My focus is London because that is where I live and where I understand the market. If you are elsewhere and think it is a fit, get in touch and I will be straight with you about whether I am the right person.
Often neither, or only one. Plenty of sites do not need rebuilding, they need their existing pages fixed. Some sites are so slow or badly structured that no amount of SEO will rescue them. The free audit is designed to answer exactly this question, and sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need to hire me at all.
Personally reviewed. No automated PDF. No upsell. No follow up sales call unless you ask for one. Just an honest read on your site.
Takes 60 seconds to request.
For people who would rather chat before sending over a URL. Quick message, I usually reply within a working day. No automated sequences, no CRM workflows.
