Review Pricing How I Work & What It Costs
This work is designed to create clarity before further investment,
not to replace your existing team or agency.
This page explains how I work today and what that work costs. It exists to create clarity before any conversation takes place. Pricing is shown for transparency. This is a fixed, diagnostic engagement, not an ongoing service.
I do not offer ongoing SEO services or implementation. My role is to help decision-makers understand how search systems are actually interpreting their website, where progress is being constrained, and what would genuinely change outcomes before further investment is made. The same framework is used both to diagnose stalled visibility in established websites and to validate structural coherence before a major rebuild or re-platform goes live. In both cases, the objective is the same: ensure search systems interpret the structure as intended before further investment compounds the wrong signals.
This work is possible now in a way it was not even a few years ago. Advances in large-scale computation and AI-assisted analysis make it practical to examine website structure, authority flow, and interpretation at a level of depth that previously required internal search engine resources. The Strategic Search Authority Review exists because these methods can now be applied meaningfully and responsibly to real-world websites, rather than remaining theoretical or inaccessible. This work begins with understanding how Google evaluates websites before any optimisation or structural decisions are made.
The Strategic Search Authority Review
The Strategic Search Authority Review is a senior-level diagnostic engagement designed for moments where strategic direction matters more than new or continued SEO activity. It exists to establish structural clarity before execution begins.
The work takes place in three stages.
1. Alignment & Approach
The first meeting establishes how the review will be conducted, how conclusions will be reached, and what search systems are actually evaluating. This ensures a shared understanding of the framework before any analysis begins.
2. Independent Analysis
I then carry out the review independently. This includes examining how your website is being structurally interpreted, how authority flows through the site, where it stalls or fractures, and how intent is being inferred across key sections.
The analysis is grounded in the same underlying principles search systems use to evaluate websites at scale. This includes modelling internal structure and authority flow using graph-based methods and probabilistic analysis derived from PageRank-style systems. The purpose is not to replicate Google’s algorithms, but to assess your website in a format that reflects how search systems actually interpret structure, importance, and signal distribution.
3. Findings & Direction
The final meeting presents the findings clearly and directly. You will see how search systems are likely classifying your website today, what is limiting progress, and what should be prioritised and stopped to change future outcomes.
The outcome is not a task list, but decision-grade clarity.
What It Costs
The Strategic Search Authority Review is priced at £1,970.
This is a fixed, one-off engagement. There are no retainers, upsells, or follow-on commitments.
The value lies in risk reduction, helping you avoid months of misdirected effort, duplicated work, or investment that compounds the wrong signals.
Optional: Search Authority Differential Analysis
Where deeper competitive clarity is required, an additional Search Authority Differential Analysis can be added.
This work examines how search systems are allocating authority across your market by analysing up to five key competitor websites. It highlights structural differences, authority distribution patterns, and positioning signals that explain why competitors may be advantaged or exposed.
This review is used where strategic decisions depend on understanding not just how your website is being interpreted, but how authority is being distributed across the competitive landscape as a whole.
The Search Authority Differential Analysis is priced at £3,470 as a fixed, one-off addition to the Strategic Search Authority Review.
The price reflects the added complexity of analysing authority distribution across a competitive landscape, rather than treating the work as isolated reviews. This comparative view makes it possible to identify where genuine advantages exist — and where structural constraints are limiting progress.
What I Do Not Offer
I do not provide monthly SEO retainers, implementation or delivery services, content production, link building, or guarantees or performance promises.
If you are looking for execution or ongoing delivery, this will not be the right fit.
When This Makes Sense
This work is suited to founders, directors, and marketing leads who need to understand what is actually happening before committing further time, budget, or momentum.
The analysis is grounded in the same underlying principles search systems use to evaluate websites at scale. This includes modelling internal structure and authority flow using graph-based methods and probabilistic analysis derived from PageRank-style systems. The purpose is not to replicate Google’s algorithms, but to assess your website in a format that reflects how search systems actually interpret structure, importance, and signal distribution.
It is often used as a reset point, a second opinion, or a way to validate direction before further investment.
