Why a consultant

Direct access to the SEO specialist doing the work

No account managers in between

You talk to me, the person who audits your site, writes the strategy and makes the changes. Nothing gets lost in hand-offs.

Built for your site, not a template

No fixed "Gold package" checklist. Every plan starts from your data, your competitors and the keywords that bring in buyers.

Honest about results

No ranking guarantees and no fake traffic. Just clear targets, monthly reports and the reasons behind every recommendation.

Process

How I work

  1. Audit & research

    A technical crawl, a content and competitor review, and keyword research for your market.

  2. Strategy

    A prioritised 90-day plan. The fixes and pages that will move rankings fastest come first.

  3. Implementation

    On-page fixes, new content, local SEO and link building, done by me or alongside your developer.

  4. Reporting

    Monthly reports from Search Console and GA4 showing rankings, traffic and enquiries, in plain language.

About me

An SEO specialist with agency, in-house and freelance experience

I started doing SEO as a freelancer in 2018. Since then I've worked as an SEO specialist in agency and in-house teams, managing campaigns for e-commerce stores and service businesses. My background also includes web development, so I can fix technical problems as well as diagnose them.

I hold the University of California, Davis SEO Specialization, Google's Digital Marketing & E-commerce certificate and MOZ SEO training. I'm currently completing a Bachelor of Technology in Software Technology.

More about me

SEO consultant FAQs

What does an SEO consultant do?

An SEO consultant finds out why your website isn’t getting enough traffic or enquiries from Google, then plans and carries out the fixes. That covers technical SEO, keyword research, content, local SEO and links. Unlike a large agency, you work with the same person who does the work.

Why hire an SEO consultant instead of an SEO company in Sri Lanka?

With an agency, the person who sells you SEO is often not the person who does it. With a consultant, you speak directly to the specialist working on your site, decisions are faster, and you don’t pay for agency overheads. A larger agency makes more sense if you also need ads, social media and design under one roof.

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes and on-page improvements can show results within weeks. Ranking for competitive keywords usually takes three to six months, sometimes longer, depending on your site’s history and your competitors.

Can you guarantee first place on Google?

No, and you should be careful with anyone who does. Google controls the rankings. What I commit to is a clear plan, honest reporting and the work that gives your site the best chance of reaching and holding the top positions.

Do you work with businesses outside Sri Lanka?

Yes. I work remotely with businesses in other countries as well as across Sri Lanka. Everything runs over email and video calls.

Do you offer AI SEO for ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?

Yes. Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is part of my service. It means making sure AI tools understand your business and cite your pages when people ask about your industry.

Want to know what is holding your site back?

Send me your website and the keywords you want to rank for. I will look at it myself and tell you honestly what I would fix first.
