FAQs

Learn about my experience as a Sussex SEO freelancer and much more via my frequently asked questions. Alternatively, get in touch via email to ask me a question directly.

  • Yes! Whether you’re targeting the immediate area or further afield, I’ll help you capture high-intent traffic for specific Sussex towns.

     

    To achieve this, I'll fine-tune your Google Business Profile to get you featured prominently in local Map Pack results. Plus, I'll develop dedicated geo-targeted web pages to improve your reach throughout the region.

     

    From Brighton to Bognor Regis and beyond, I’ll ensure the people of Sussex can easily find you online.

  • Most of our work together is handled seamlessly online. I can carry out routine monthly updates, progress reports and quick catch-ups virtually via Zoom or email.

    However, being based in Kent means you get the best of both worlds. If you prefer, we can hold our initial discovery meeting face-to-face at your office. Beyond that, in-person strategy sessions are always available upon request for major planning milestones, service launches or annual reviews.

  • A Sussex SEO consultant helps people to find your website in search engines like Google and Bing.

     

    Let’s say you are an air conditioning specialist based in Eastbourne. If someone types “air conditioning company Eastbourne” in Google, an SEO consultant will help your website show up in the search engine listings for that query.

     

    The higher you rank in the search listings, the more likely it is you will get a click through to your website.

    These days, SEO consultants also help businesses to achieve greater visibility in AI search platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini. This process is called generative engine optimisation (GEO). 

  • I have worked in the B2B and built environment sectors for a number fo years, supporting fit out firms, manufacturers and designers. However, My SEO process can be adapted to different industries across Sussex and the UK.

    Previously, I spent several years working as a marketing manager for a construction firm with a Brighton office. As SEO way a key part of my role, this helped to lay foundations for CJS Digital. 

     

    Whatever your business, it would be great to hear from you. Please get in touch with your brief and I'll arrange a discovery call. 

  • Don't worry, SEO doesn't mean starting over with your current web design. Most of the time, it's about updating behind-the-scenes and on-page details (like your wording, menu layout and meta data etc.) while keeping your brand's look exactly the same. 

  • My game plan is built around boosting rankings and visibility within the first six months and building from there. SEO isn't an overnight fix, but when it's done right, it pays off massively in the long run.
