Hi, I'm Oliver 👋 SEO Expert, 20+ Years, Technical SEO, Local SEO, AI Search & Website Development - I Don't Just Audit, I Code, Build & Rank Websites. 📈 Upwork Rising Talent. 👇 I've been ranking websites for over two decades. Gambling, sports betting, casino, insurance, loans, forex, crypto - the niches where second page means invisible and the competition fights dirty. Across those industries, I've driven more than $100M in organic growth. If you can rank in those spaces, you can rank anywhere. And I have. Here's what separates me from most SEO consultants: I build websites too. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, WordPress, Shopify, Elementor, Astro - I know them inside out. I don't hand you a 40-page audit and wish you luck finding a developer who understands it. I find the problem. I fix it. No handoffs, no delays, no things slipping through the cracks. One person. Strategy to execution. That means faster results. ⚙️ Technical SEO Crawl and indexing fixes. Core Web Vitals. Site speed. Schema markup. Mobile optimisation. JavaScript rendering. Log file analysis. Clients regularly see 2x organic traffic within 90 days - not because of magic, but because most sites have the same fixable problems nobody's bothered to look at properly. 📍 Local SEO & Google Business Profile (GBP) Optimisation 500+ Google Business Profiles optimised and ranking in the Maps 3-Pack. Multi-location SEO across AU, UK and US markets. Citations, NAP consistency, local schema, geo-targeted landing pages, review strategy, reputation management. Dentists, lawyers, trades, restaurants, medical, real estate, automotive, home services - if you serve a local area, I'll get you ranking where it counts. 🔗 Link Building & Digital PR High-quality backlink strategies that build real domain authority. Editorial placements, digital PR, niche-relevant outreach. No PBN spam. No link farms. Just links that move the needle and don't get you penalised six months later. 🤖 AI Search Optimisation (GEO) Google AI Overviews now answer roughly 25% of searches. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini are changing how people find businesses. Most SEO consultants haven't caught up yet. Traditional SEO is still the foundation - AI search pulls from the same signals - but the way you structure content for citations and visibility is different. I make sure you show up in both. 🌐 Website Design & Development Need a site built or rebuilt? Most go live within a week. Fixed pricing, responsive on every device, SEO baked in from day one. WordPress - Custom themes, Elementor, WooCommerce, plugin configuration, speed optimisation. Sites you can actually update yourself with no monthly lock-in. Astro - Lightning-fast static sites (I strongly advocate for this) built with Astro and Tailwind CSS. Perfect if you want top Core Web Vitals scores out of the box without fighting a bloated page builder. Also: Shopify, HTML/CSS/JS, landing pages, redesigns, email templates. ✍️ Content Strategy & E-E-A-T Topical authority frameworks. Pillar and cluster architecture. Featured snippets. AI citations. Keyword research that starts with search intent, not just volume. Content that ranks, reads well and actually converts. 📈 Proven Results → Sportsbet: $50M+ year-on-year organic growth → Pepperstone: +47% new trading accounts from organic → Titan FX: 2x organic traffic in under 6 months → 500+ Google Business Profiles optimised and ranking → 50+ multi-location brands scaled across AU, UK and US ✅ Why Clients Stay → No vanity reports - I track traffic, leads and revenue → Fast execution - real wins in weeks, not months → Full stack - SEO strategy, technical fixes, content, web builds, one person → Global experience - UK, AU and APAC across regulated, competitive industries 🔄 How I Work Audit - Find the real traffic and conversion levers hiding in your data. Execute - Apply proven SEO tactics tailored to your niche. Fast. Scale - Double down on what works. Cut what doesn't. Optimise - Continuous tracking and refinement for maximum ROI. ⏭️ Next Step Invite me today and I'll send you 3 quick wins you can implement this week - free. 🧰 Toolbox ($1,000+/month value) Ahrefs · SEMrush · Majestic · Screaming Frog · Frase · MarketMuse · AccuRanker · BrightLocal · RatingCaptain 🏷️ SEO, Technical SEO, Local SEO, Google Business Profile, GBP Optimisation, Google Maps SEO, Link Building, Backlinks, Digital PR, WordPress Development, Shopify Development, Website Design, Web Development, HTML CSS JavaScript, Site Speed Optimisation, Core Web Vitals, Schema Markup, AI Search Optimisation, Generative Engine Optimisation, Content Strategy, E-E-A-T, Keyword Research, On-Page SEO, Off-Page SEO, Multi-Location SEO, Citation Building, NAP Consistency, Responsive Web Design, Landing Page Design, Elementor, WooCommerce, Astro, Tailwind CSS, Conversion Rate Optimisation, AI Overviews, ChatGPT Search, Perplexity SEO 📅 Last updated: 28th May 2026
