Hello I’m Clare
I’m an SEO consultant located in Stockport, Greater Manchester, working with small businesses throughout the UK, the USA and worldwide. Your ideal customers are searching for your services right now, either in Google search or using AI platform (such as Chat GPT and Perplexity) - I can help your website show up there.
Does this sound good?
As a former wedding and event florist who built and ran my own business, I understand the realities of wearing every hat. I know how frustrating it can feel when you're putting your heart into your work but struggling to get found online. I also understand that marketing can feel overwhelming when you're already managing clients, projects, admin, and everything else that comes with running a business.
My approach is collaborative, practical, friendly and designed to make SEO approachable. I’ll help more of the right people discover you online in traditional search and AI whilst saying true to you and your business, build trust in your expertise, and support your long-term growth.
"My retreat filled up seven months early"
“I am a yoga teacher whose primary business is leading retreats. The biggest change that I have seen since starting to work 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 felt I worked hard to fill and I actually lost money on. I was close to quitting and finding other work. My rankings are improving and my visibility is much higher.
With Clare’s help, my local ranking has been high for some time, and now I am getting more visibility regionally and even nationally.”

For your business to show up online, where your ideal customer is searching, your website needs three things:
1. A clear SEO foundation and strategy - so Google and AI understand who you are and what you do. One that is authentic to your business.
2. Content that answers the questions your clients are already asking - with human messaging and copy that remains true to you and your business. This is what builds trust and search visibility.
3. A simple, supportive plan and strategy so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to be seen.
That’s what I help with!
More businesses are moving away from social media or at least not putting all their eggs in the Meta basket. They’re exploring relational marketing and how to finally figure out the SEO puzzle - that’s where I come in…

Here’s what’s included:
A technical audit - page loading speed, schema, links working? and other SEO nitty gritty tech details
Keyword research for four of your website pages - with a prioritised shortlist you can use
Competitor and opportunity analysis, so you know where you can realistically stand out (there are often wins to be had here)
A content plan for your website, blog, and any newsletter or social content you already create
Google Business Profile review
An AI visibility check — how you show up in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews
A clear, prioritised roadmap for the next 3–6 months, yours to keep whether we continue working together or not
The next step is up to you - implement the changes yourself or I can implement for you. There’s no pressure to let me know immediately!

Simple documentation as we go, so the work stays easy to maintain long after we started
“Working with Clare is enjoyable and effective. Her consult and check in calls are so helpful to cut through to the nitty gritty, and she can easily pinpoint what to prioritize and put things in motion. She has clear progress docs so you know what’s going on, and is timely to reply to any questions you may have. She also asks you to review any blog content before posting- and they were always so chock full of keywords and SEO magic, on top of being beautifully designed.”

On the blog
“Clare has provided exceptional support for my business. As someone entirely new to SEO, I needed a lot of help to even give her access to the back end of my webpage;) Clare was patient, creative, and resourceful in how she communicated with me, even sending short how-to videos so that I could keep the ball rolling on our work together. She was attentive to the core of my values, and didn't ask me to sacrifice my authenticity in order to work on ranking for searches. Clare is warm, funny, and very talented. I unhesitatingly encourage anyone who needs SEO help to hire Clare Ashbrook today!”
