Evidence status
Go Fluent Academy had a site that search could not use. We connected the page architecture to the questions students actually ask before enrolling, built search landing pages against them, and added a follow-up sequence that carried interest forward instead of losing it.
954 organic clicks over the year and more than 15 first-page keywords within six months — an acquisition system with a traceable path from search result to enrolled student.
Read the full case studyConsulting is the right shape when you have capacity but not certainty. These are the situations it fits.
What you hold at the end: a diagnosis, a sequence, and enough understanding to judge the work yourself.
Every finding is tied to something observable — a crawl result, a Search Console pattern, a competitor comparison — so you can verify the reasoning rather than accepting the conclusion.
A prioritized 90-day roadmap that says what to do first, what to do next, and what to deliberately not do yet. The sequence is the deliverable; a list of everything wrong is not a plan.
The diagnosis identifies whether the binding constraint is technical, topical, local, or generative visibility — so any specialist work that follows is aimed at the thing actually holding you back.
Training and walkthroughs mean your marketer and your developers understand why each item is on the list, which makes them far harder to sell unnecessary work to afterwards.
The plan is written to be executed by your team or any competent agency. Nothing in it depends on our continued involvement, which is the point of buying a diagnosis rather than a retainer.
Diagnosis, then prioritization, then transfer — so the plan outlives the engagement.

We start with what is measurably true today: crawl behavior, indexation, Search Console performance, site architecture, and how the current pages map to actual demand. No recommendations are made before this is written down, because a recommendation without a baseline cannot be evaluated later.
Most sites have dozens of issues and one or two that actually matter. We work out which constraint is holding performance back — technical, topical, local, or generative — and which findings are real but currently irrelevant.
Findings become a 90-day roadmap ordered by impact against effort, with each item scoped enough for your team to estimate it. The order is deliberate: some fixes are wasted until an earlier one lands.
We walk your team through the reasoning, not just the list, and leave written documentation. We stay available for a follow-up review so questions that surface during execution get answered by the person who wrote the plan.

Site size is the main driver — a large catalog or a site with years of accumulated URL history takes longer to audit properly than a fifteen-page marketing site. Access to Search Console, analytics, and server logs at the start matters more than anything else for the schedule.
Consulting is priced as a fixed-fee engagement rather than a monthly retainer, scoped to site size and how much of the diagnosis needs to cover technical, content, local, and generative visibility. You get the audit, the roadmap, the documentation, and the training for one agreed price in USD. If you would rather we executed the plan as well, that is quoted separately.
