SEO for people running their own small business on Squarespace or Shopify
A tailored SEO strategy that meets you where you are — whether SEO feels completely new, partially in place, or something you’ve already invested in and want to build on.
I offer SEO audits, thoughtful SEO strategy and setup, and ongoing blog support with strong SEO foundation
Located in Stockport, Greater Manchester. I support small businesses throughout the UK, the USA and worldwide.
“My rankings are improving and my visibility is much higher. Although my local ranking has been strong for some time, I’m now seeing visibility regionally and even nationally.
Working with Clare has made a huge difference to my business and my confidence””
For a business to show up online, where their ideal client is searching, they need three things:
1. A clear SEO foundation
So Google understands who you are and what you do.
2. Content that answers the questions your clients are already asking
This is what builds trust and search visibility.
3. A simple, supportive plan
So you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to be seen.
That’s what I help with.
MY SERVICES
SEO AUDIT + ACTION PLAN
A clear, supportive assessment of your website’s current SEO, what’s working, what’s not, and what to do next.
You’ll get a practical plan you can action yourself — or with my help.
Perfect if: your website isn’t bringing in leads or you don’t know where to start
MONTHLY SEO SUPPORT
Ongoing SEO support including keyword research, blog planning, writing, and content optimisation — all focused on improving your visibility steadily over time. It’s a flexible, tailored service: we focus on what you need, and skip what you don’t.
Perfect if: you want consistent, steady visibility without doing everything yourself.
WHITE LABEL SEO SERVICES
Seamless SEO support for Squarespace web designers and agencies.
I’ll work quietly behind the scenes to deliver strategic SEO results your clients will love, so you can stay focused on the creative direction and client relationships..
Perfect if: you are a web designer who wants to offer SEO to clients but don’t have the time, capacity, or desire to do it yourself.
SEO is one of the most sustainable, introvert-friendly ways to grow your visibility.
Once your foundation is in place, it keeps working quietly in the background.
It doesn’t require constant posting, chasing trends or being “on” all the time.
It simply makes it easier for the right people to find you — while you get on with running your business.

I specialise in foundational SEO and content support that quietly works behind the scenes so your ideal clients can actually find you.
Simple, human SEO — no jargon, no overwhelm.

Joanna Dunn Yoga: SEO Setup +Monthly SEO Maintenance
“The biggest change I’ve seen since working with Clare is that my retreats are filling way earlier than they were a year ago. One of my retreats recently filled up seven months early. Three or four years ago, I was in tears after a retreat that I worked so hard to fill and actually lost money on. I was close to quitting and finding other work.”
