I’m a SEO specialist and content editor based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, with hands-on experience helping websites earn visibility through smart keyword research, on-page optimisation, and search-intent-focused writing. I’ve spent years creating and refreshing long-form SEO content, strengthening internal linking, and using performance data to guide updates that make content more findable and genuinely useful. I also bring practical editorial and localisation experience, adapting content for different audiences and international GEOs (including the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the US). Alongside SEO fundamentals, I enjoy content operations such as coordinating briefs, supervising delivery, and managing CMS updates, and I’m comfortable using tools like Ahrefs and Google Search Console to turn search opportunities into clear, engaging pages.
