About Me

I'm Mike.
I make businesses visible.

I fell into digital marketing back in 2016, starting as a copywriter chasing my love for writing. Pretty quickly I got obsessed with the challenge of growing websites — both from scratch and fixing what was already there. That obsession hasn't faded. 10+ years later, I've worked with brands like Virgin Australia, TripAdvisor, UGREEN, and Anker, as well as dozens of smaller businesses who just needed someone to get it done properly.

I've always been freelance. No agency background, no corporate ladder — just me, working directly with the businesses I help. That means when you hire me, you get me. Not a junior, not an account manager, not someone who's going to outsource your work. I handle everything personally, from the initial audit through to the monthly reporting.

Based in Suffolk, UK, I work with clients across the country and internationally. My approach is straightforward: I look at your data, understand your market, build a strategy that makes sense for your specific situation, and then I actually do the work. No waffle, no jargon, no 40-page reports that nobody reads.

What I Believe

How I work

Results over promises

I don't promise page one rankings by next Tuesday. I promise honest work, transparent reporting, and a strategy built on what actually moves the needle. Every decision is backed by data.

No jargon, no fluff

I explain everything in plain English. You'll always know what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and what it means for your business. If I can't explain it simply, I haven't understood it well enough.

Month-to-month

No long-term contracts locking you in. I believe my work should keep you, not a piece of paper. If the results aren't there, you're free to walk away — though they usually are.

Direct access

When you hire me, you work with me. Not a junior, not an account manager, not an intern. Your project gets my full experience and attention from day one.

FAQ

Questions about working with me

What's your background?

I started in copywriting in 2016 and quickly moved into SEO. Over 10+ years I've worked with businesses of all sizes — from solo founders to brands like Virgin Australia and TripAdvisor. I've always been freelance, which means I've built my career on delivering results, not office politics.

What industries do you work with?

I've worked across 30+ industries including e-commerce, hospitality, healthcare, professional services, SaaS, travel, real estate, and trades. If your business has a website and wants more organic traffic, I can help.

Do I work with you directly or a team?

Directly with me. There's no team, no juniors, no outsourcing. When you hire me, I'm the person doing the research, writing the content, fixing the technical issues, and sending you the reports. That's the whole point.

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. Everything is month-to-month. I recommend at least 3-6 months to see real traction with SEO, but you're never locked in. My results keep clients around, not paperwork.

Where are you based?

Suffolk, UK. But I work with clients across the UK, Europe, US, and Australia. As long as we can jump on a call, location doesn't matter. Most of my communication happens over email and video calls.

What does a typical engagement look like?

It usually starts with a free chat about your business and goals. If we're a good fit, I'll do an audit, build a strategy, and get to work. You'll get regular updates, monthly reports, and direct access to me whenever you need it.
