SEO Strategist | Technical SEO Audits, Planning, Training & Support

Not getting enough business from your website? Need better Google rankings? Google’s updates are making this harder every day. A successful website owner myself, I can help your website too. • Not just an SEO Consultant, but successful website owner and previous ‘Head of SEO’ at an SEO agency. • I use this commercial AND technical expertise to find out what’s holding your website back, provide you the plan, training, and support to deliver online success to your business. “The expertise I share has worked for many businesses, including my own!” --------------- BIO • My name is Jon Monk: 48 years old, I live 20 miles south of London, UK, and I started in SEO in 2012. • I own guarantorloansuk.net and allcreditloans.net, two FCA Regulated loan comparison sites that generate 1,000's of loan applications every month. “All traffic to these websites is driven from Google organic search. The ‘bad credit loan’ market is very competitive in the UK and all hands-on SEO work to make this happen has been done by me.” • Previously I was ‘Head of SEO’ for artemis.marketing, an SEO agency based in West Sussex, UK. “I have got a wealth of commercial and technical experience, not only learning how to make websites rank well in Google, but also how to drive regular monthly revenue (surely the most important bit). Are you looking for a reliable, professional, technically sound, and commercially astute SEO? Let’s connect Jon Monk --------------- MY CONSULTANCY SERVICES • SEO & Opportunity Audits • SEO Strategy & Planning • Bespoke SEO Training (online or on-site) • Technical & On-Site SEO --------------- ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Consistent top rankings for highly competitive keywords such as "guarantor loans" and "no credit check loans" from my websites guarantorloansuk.net & allcreditloans.net - all from work done by myself. • Running toe-to-toe in Google in the competitive ‘bad credit’ market with moneysupermarket.com & gocompare.com. • Working successfully as ‘Head of SEO’ for artemis.marketing helping to deliver key client accounts in competitive markets such as ‘children’s fashion’, ‘IT security’ and ‘experience days’. • Being the premier website auditor at artemis.marketing, giving me the opportunity to analyse and learn from 100’s of other websites across multiple markets. --------------- STRENGTHS & SKILLS • Holistic View – I’m not just an SEO, but someone who has learned the hard way how to make websites drive leads, inquiries, and income. You will get both a technical and commercial view of your website and how to move forward. • Communication – I am not an SEO geek but am able to talk to you in ‘plain English’. • Honest & Independent – I’m not looking for ongoing hands-on SEO work, so all advice will be based on what I genuinely believe is best for your business and your website, and not what will generate me ongoing work! --------------- WHY DO THESE SERVICES IF MY LOANS WEBSITES ARE SO SUCCESSFUL? • The COVID pandemic has caused a credit crunch in the guarantor loans market, so whilst the sites are generating many leads, lender activity has reduced and so has our business income! • From my ‘Head of SEO’ days, I found it rewarding working with ambitious people and helping them move their business forward. --------------- CONSULTING SERVICES (MORE) A.

B. STRATEGY & PLANNING Based on the audit, I can help create the strategy moving forward, and help you to draw up the plan of action, and who is responsible for what.

"We've worked with Jon for a number of years as the supplier of quality loans leads, so it was logical to ask him how we could improve the SEO of our website. The audit he did was very comprehensive, and uncovered a number of things that had not been raised by previous 'SEO experts"! Particularly useful was Google Doc the action list he created, which made implementing the recommendations so much easier. We will now be working with Jon to oversee the implementation of the audit - highly recommended. "

"Jon provided advanced on-page optimisation training for our team. The training was very comprehensive and easy to follow, using lots of real world case studies. He presented very logical methods for finding out what needs to be done on any web page to give it a chance of top SEO rankings, which included significant competitor analysis. There were specific web pages that we were looking to optimise; we implemented what was learnt at the training which has had a very positive effect. I would highly recommend SEO training with Jon, we’ve had a great return on investment"

"I've known Jon for a number of years now and we have worked on many SEO projects together. Jon is very strong commercially and has a particular eye for getting websites to drive more leads and income. In particular, we worked on a fashion eCommerce site together (an extremely competitive online market); his insights around improving conversion rates were second to none and dramatically improved site sales. I have no hesitation in recommending Jon. He is a pleasure to work with and a valued partner to my business. "

"Jon and I worked together at Artemis on multiple client accounts together. Jon’s speciality is the SEO Audit, producing very in-depth analysis of what’s holding a client site back, and what can be done to get better results. The client that comes to mind was a business service company specialising in document scanning and archiving that had a very poor website. Not only did Jon provide very clear instructions as to what needed to be optimised on their new site moving forward, but his recommendations were the basis of a complete reorganisation, and re-design of the site, which resulted in significant improvements on website traffic. The man to go to for your SEO and CRO audits!"

"I would consider Jon an expert in his field. I’ve worked with Jon on a number of projects now, the last one when he was doing the on-page SEO for an online training company. He has very extensive expertise in both SEO and marketing, how to get the right website visitors, and then the right conversions. Very happy to recommend Jon to any business who is thinking of hiring him, either big or small."

"After working with Jon at Artemis we’ve kept in regular contact. Jon recently did for us an SEO Audit for one of our clients who was experiencing some concerning drops in website traffic. His audit was very comprehensive and focused, and offered some key areas of improvement. He has great insights into websites, and his recommendations were both practical as well as very effective. Jon really knows SEO, will definitely use again."

"Jon and I worked together on an extensive SEO audit for a client who specialised in experience days, a very competitive niche. Jon concentrated on the conversion optimisation side of the work, which included a lot of competitor analysis. His reports and proposals were very insightful and resulted in the client site being re-designed (which helped their conversion rates). Jon is thorough, always over-delivers, and makes practical suggestions. Recommended! "

"Jon was brought in to help one of our e-commerce clients who was having some difficulties with their Google rankings. He did a technical SEO audit on the site and made many recommendations. These were implemented by the client over the next 6-months which had a dramatic impact on their Google organic traffic. We will be recommending Jon to our clients again. He definitely knows his stuff!"
