✅ Content Strategy & Creation
Using real search data and competitor insights, we create tailored content that ranks and resonates with your audience. No fluff — just smart, strategic content.

Get straightforward updates on what’s been done, what’s working, and what’s next. No fluff, just reports that keep you in the loop.
Let us handle your SEO while you focus on running and growing your business.
You don’t need more guesswork or recycled advice. You need a clear SEO plan from someone who’s solved real problems — and knows how to do it again.
My consultancy service is built for moments when rankings drop, traffic dries up, or your current agency just isn’t cutting it. I dig into the issues, find what’s going wrong, and give you a plan that actually gets things moving again.
I work with business owners, marketers, freelancers, and agencies who are done with vague reports and want answers that make sense. No generic audits. No recycled templates. Just real, data-backed insights tailored to your industry and goals.
✅ Flexible support options
Whether you need a one-time session or ongoing support, I’ll fit around your needs as your dedicated SEO expert.
✅ Deep performance analysis
We’ll break down what’s working, what’s not, and what’s blocking your growth in search — with nothing overlooked.
✅ Clear, practical action plans
No fluff. Just a clear roadmap of what to do, when to do it, and why it matters — tailored to your business and backed by real-world results.
If you're in Liverpool and ready for proper SEO guidance, this is your next move.
Without a clear strategy, SEO is just another unchecked task with no real direction. Strategy is where success starts. We begin by diving into real data, analysing the Liverpool market, assessing your competition, and building a plan based on real search intent.
No recycled templates. No outdated shortcuts. Each strategy is tailored to how Google works today — not how it used to. It’s the step most businesses miss, and it’s often why they struggle to rank.
✅ Keyword and intent mapping
We uncover what your ideal customers are actually searching for — not just what keyword tools suggest.
✅ Competitor reverse-engineering
No guesswork. We analyse what’s ranking and why it’s working — then use that to your advantage.
✅ Content and link roadmap
We deliver a clear, structured plan: what to publish, when to do it, and how to build authority through content and links.
If you’re serious about SEO success, strategy isn’t optional — it’s the foundation.
Google still values links — but only the ones that actually count.
My approach focuses on quality over quantity. I build real authority with relevant citations, niche placements, and trusted sites that align with your business. No outsourcing, no spam, and no low-effort guest posts — everything is done properly, in-house.
✅ Relevance-led strategy
Links are chosen based on what fits your industry and website, not just what’s easy to grab.
✅ Built for local and national impact
Whether you're targeting Liverpool or the whole UK, I secure links that strengthen your presence where it matters.
✅ Transparent reporting
You’ll always see where links came from, where they point, and how they’re helping your growth.
This is link building done right — strategic, relevant, and designed for long-term results.
This isn’t a quick checklist filled with SEO buzzwords — it’s a full forensic teardown of what’s really holding your site back and exactly how to fix it.
When rankings slip or traffic stalls, surface-level advice won’t cut it. That’s where I come in. I go beyond missing meta tags and tackle deeper issues like crawl efficiency, page structure, internal linking, backlink quality, site speed, and more.
If there’s a problem, I’ll find it — and explain exactly what to do, why it matters, and how to sort it, in plain English.
✅ Technical SEO deep dive
We’ll uncover issues with Core Web Vitals, indexing, crawl budget, and anything else blocking your performance in search.
✅ On-page and content review
We’ll assess how your content is structured, if it matches search intent, and where it needs to improve.
✅ Backlink profile audit
We identify toxic links, spammy anchors, and irrelevant domains that may be dragging your site down.
No fluff. No confusion. Just a clear view of what’s working, what’s not, and what to do next. If you’re ready to fix things properly, this is where it starts.
You need a website that looks great, loads fast, works perfectly on mobile, and ranks well — without dealing with bloated templates, messy code, or endless delays.
I build clean, high-performing sites using Breakdance — fast, flexible, and designed with SEO in mind from the very first click. No fluff. Just a website that converts visitors and meets all the technical standards Google expects.
This is web design that’s practical, efficient, and built to perform from day one.
✅ SEO built-in from the start
Mobile-first design, clean code, fast speeds — everything Google loves is baked in from the beginning.
✅ Breakdance for fast, modern builds
No delays or bloated workflows. Just a sleek, scalable site that’s ready to go live quickly.
✅ Tailored to your business
You’ll choose from proven layouts, then we’ll shape the design around your content, style, and goals — with visibility and performance at the core.
Launch quicker. Look sharper. Rank faster. That’s how web design should be.
Most hosting is either cheap and slow or overpriced and underwhelming.
What I offer is different: fast, secure UK-based hosting built for performance. It’s backed up daily, fully managed, and cared for by someone who actually gives a damn. I don’t offer hosting to just anyone — it’s reserved for clients who rely on uptime, speed, and stability to support their SEO.
You won’t get passed off to a faceless support system. I handle it personally.
✅ Fast UK servers
Free SSL, daily backups, solid uptime - no fluff.
✅ Fully managed by me
No support tickets or call centres. I look after everything.
✅ Easy setup and migration
I’ll move your site over, configure it properly, and make sure it runs smoothly.
This is where SEO stops being a cost and starts becoming a revenue-driving asset. I build lead generation systems that connect all parts of your digital marketing — from search and paid ads to landing pages — turning clicks into customers.
Whether it’s SEO, Google Ads, or Facebook campaigns, every element works together with one goal: generating high-quality enquiries that convert.
You won’t just see more traffic. You’ll understand what’s working, why it’s working, and exactly how many leads your organic search is delivering.
✅ Landing pages built to convert
We design pages to capture intent, drive action, and maximise conversions — not just look pretty.
✅ Tracking that shows the full picture
Call tracking and form capture give you clarity on where leads are coming from, so you can focus your efforts where they count.
✅ SEO and PPC working together
Organic and paid campaigns are aligned to give you total visibility and coverage across the full customer journey.
This isn’t about vanity metrics. It’s about performance, insight, and marketing that pays for itself.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start doing SEO properly, I’ll teach you how. This isn’t outdated advice or generic theory — it’s real-world training based on what gets results today.
Whether you’re a business owner, marketer, or freelancer looking to take control of your SEO, I’ll help you build the skills, confidence, and systems to make it work.
✅ 1-to-1 or small group training
Tailored to your goals, experience, and learning style — no fluff, no wasted time.
✅ Live sessions on your own site
This is hands-on, practical training. We use your website, your data, your competitors — so everything clicks.
✅ Ongoing support included
Need help later? I’m around for follow-ups, answers, and support when you need it.
Learn what matters. Skip what doesn’t. And walk away ready to run SEO with confidence.
I’m Graham McCormack, and I’ve spent nearly 20 years helping businesses fix underperforming websites. Based on the Wirral, I’ve built a trusted SEO company through results and reputation — not sales tactics — working with clients locally and around the world.
This isn’t a vague monthly service where you wonder what’s being done. I show you exactly what’s happening, why it matters, and how it moves you forward.
From poor search rankings and technical headaches to email issues, hacks, or tricky site migrations — I’ve seen it all and know how to fix it.
If your website isn’t pulling its weight, I’ll help you turn it around.
I’ve spoken to many business owners across Liverpool and found there’s often confusion about what SEO really means today. So here’s my definition for 2025.
Most digital agencies still describe SEO as simply improving your website to rank higher in search engines. That’s partly true — but it’s only a fraction of the picture. As Google themselves put it, "it's about creating helpful, reliable, people-first content."
In 2025, search engines like Google use Natural Language Processing (NLP) and AI to understand content more like a human would. With ranking factors such as RankBrain and BERT, SEO is no longer about pleasing algorithms — it’s about satisfying people.
Chasing singular keywords is outdated. Google ranks pages based on relevance, depth, and user satisfaction. If you're still focusing on single keyword positions, you're missing the bigger picture. There's a simple test you can do to see this for yourself — and I’ll walk you through it shortly.
The best way to think about SEO today is to ask: “Will my website visitor be satisfied when they land on this page?” If the answer’s yes — and you're following Google's guidelines — you're on the right path.
If you check out Google’s own advice on hiring SEO help, you'll find some valuable insights — and I want to share the highlights, along with my honest take on each one.
Many Liverpool business owners sign up with a local SEO agency on a monthly retainer, only to be disappointed months down the line when the promised results never arrive.
The reason is simple: the SEO industry has a very low barrier to entry. Almost anyone can claim to be an expert — even without the skills or experience to back it up.
Worse still, some providers use shady tactics that can temporarily boost your rankings, only to trigger penalties later. And if that agency uses the same tactics across multiple clients, one penalty can affect others through association — just because they share the same dodgy SEO provider.
I’ve been doing SEO since 2008 and have built a strong business through word-of-mouth, thanks to my honest, straight-talking approach. No shortcuts. No nonsense.
If you're unsure who to trust with your SEO, start by checking Google’s list of questions to ask a provider — and below, you’ll find my answers to each one.
Can you show me examples of your previous work and share some success stories?
Absolutely. You’ll find real examples and success stories further down this page and throughout my website — all from businesses I’ve helped grow through smart, honest SEO.
Do you follow the Google Search Essentials?
Yes — but with context. I follow Google’s guidelines, always. But the real edge comes from studying what’s already working in your industry. By reverse-engineering the top results and combining that with best practice, I make sure your site gives Google exactly what it’s looking for — every time.
Do you offer any online marketing services or advice to complement your organic search business?
Yes, I do. Alongside monthly SEO, I offer audits, strategy sessions, consultancy, training, website builds, and Google Ads — all designed to support and enhance your organic visibility. Everything I provide is focused on driving real results, not just ticking boxes.
What kind of results do you expect to see, and in what timeframe? How do you measure your success?
There’s no honest way to answer that without an audit first. I need to review your site, your competitors, and your market to know what’s realistic. Success depends on where you’re starting from and what needs fixing. That said, I always start by capturing key performance indicators — traffic, rankings, leads — so we’ve got a clear benchmark to measure progress against.
What's your experience in my industry?
Over the years, I’ve worked across hundreds of industries — from local service providers to national brands and eCommerce stores. Whether it’s local, national, or product-based SEO, chances are I’ve already helped someone in your space. If not, I’ll still know exactly how to tackle it.
What's your experience developing international sites?
While this page is focused on businesses in Liverpool, yes — I’ve worked on plenty of international websites over the years. If you’re expanding beyond the UK, I can help with the technical and strategic SEO needed for global visibility.
What are your most important SEO techniques?
Put simply — it’s about people first, search engines second. That means building technically sound websites that are easy for search engines to crawl, while creating content that satisfies real user intent. Add in strong UX, responsive design, strategic link building, and regular data-led adjustments — that’s the core of what gets results.
Here are some of the techniques I focus on:
Keyword Research:
Understanding how people search and using that to guide topical relevance — keyword research is still a familiar term, even if today we focus more on intent and topic clusters.
Content Optimisation:
Crafting clear, engaging content that answers real questions, integrates key terms naturally, and performs well in search.
Technical SEO:
Improving crawlability, site speed, mobile responsiveness, structured data, and everything that supports clean site architecture.
Link Building:
Securing high-quality backlinks from trusted, relevant sources to boost your site’s authority the right way — no spam.
On-Page SEO:
Optimising meta tags, headers, internal links, and content structure to help search engines and users navigate your site better.
Off-Page SEO:
Building your brand’s reputation through digital PR, social signals, and consistent activity beyond your own website.
Local SEO:
Boosting your visibility in local searches through Google Business Profile optimisation, local keywords, and citation management.
Competitor Analysis:
Reverse-engineering what’s working for others in your industry to find opportunities and outdo them.
SEO Strategy Development:
Creating a clear roadmap that aligns with your business goals — and adapts as you grow.
Performance Tracking and Reporting:
Measuring key metrics like traffic, rankings, and conversions to track progress and stay focused.
User Experience (UX) Optimisation:
Designing your site for usability — clean navigation, fast load times, and layout that keeps visitors engaged and moving.
How long have you been in business?
Since 2008. I started out working in digital agencies before launching my own — first We Are Web, then the SEO agency Serpify. In 2017, I registered Graham SEO Ltd and committed fully to SEO consultancy. Today, it’s a VAT-registered business with a small, dedicated team behind it.
How can I expect to communicate with you? Will you share with me all the changes you make to my site, and provide detailed information about your recommendations and the reasoning behind them?
You can reach me by phone or email, and we can arrange in-person meetings if needed. I prefer email for most questions, as it gives me time to review your data and provide a clear, accurate, data-backed response. That said, if you'd rather talk something through, a member of my team is always available by phone — and I’m never far behind.
Yes, I’ll always explain what changes are being made, why they matter, and how they support your SEO goals. Transparency is key to how I work.
We’re here to work with you — solving challenges and creating tailored strategies that fit your goals. Prefer to stay hands-off? No problem. My team and I can manage your SEO each month, delivering steady growth, stronger visibility, and giving you more time to focus on running your business.
I genuinely enjoy working with freelancers and digital agencies. If you're a web designer or run a digital agency in Liverpool or the surrounding area, let’s meet and talk about how we can strengthen your online presence. You're welcome to visit me at my office in Ness, just off Chester High Road — or we can meet wherever suits you best.
I’m also open to meaningful partnerships and joint ventures with the right people. If our goals align, let’s explore what we could build together.
Need a one-off fix for a pressing SEO issue? I offer expert solutions that can be delivered discreetly under your own branding — helping you resolve problems fast, maintain client trust, and keep everything running smoothly without disruption.
