Search with Candour feature: My Take on International SEO and Freelancing
I recently had an amazing opportunity to join Jack Chambers-Ward on his podcast, "Search with Candour". We talked for a good 44 minutes about international SEO, my freelance journey, and the diverse clients I've had the pleasure to work with. Here, I'll share some of the highlights and insights from our chat.
The Freelance Life: Authenticity and Personal Touch
In the podcast, I opened up about the realities of being a freelance SEO consultant:
“I don’t have external help, or very rarely. I don’t need it. So far, I’ve been able to manage most things on my own, but that does mean that my clients get super tailored service. They get someone 100% dedicated to their own project.”
It's a double-edged sword. Clients get the benefit of highly personalised service, but it also means that there's only so much of 'me' to go around. It's a delicate balance, but one that’s absolutely worth it for the bespoke service I can offer.
A Diverse Clientele: More Than Just Numbers
Jack and I delved into the kinds of clients that generally seek out freelancers over larger agencies.
The diversity in my clientele—from small businesses to international companies—has been both a learning curve and a source of pride for me. This isn't just for show—it's a treasure trove of learning experiences that make me a better consultant every day.
Services Tailored for You
As we delved into the services I offer, one thing became clear: one-size-fits-all solutions don’t cut it.
“Clients come to me because I’m a freelancer, they stay with me for the personality and the expertise, but we do have to get along really well to make it work long-term.”
Each client is unique, and their SEO needs are too. Whether it’s a comprehensive SEO audit or crafting a content strategy, my services are tailored to meet these individual needs.
“It’s more about making sure that the experience they get from me is top-notch, and they have their answers to all their questions, and they feel empowered to drive their strategy the way they see it fit.”
Navigating International SEO
When it comes to international SEO, it's more than just translations; it's about understanding the cultural nuances. I offer a 360º understanding of client businesses, making me equipped to handle the challenges that come with international clientele.
