Get Found. Get Clicked. Boost Revenue
Hi, I’m Ryan Webb, a freelance SEO consultant based in Portsmouth, Hampshire, and founder of RWSEO. I help businesses across Hampshire improve search visibility in a way that supports calls, bookings, quote requests, and online sales. Clear priorities, steady work, and progress you can track without guesswork.
I help businesses improve SEO to bring in more enquiries, sales, and revenue. My focus is simple, get you in front of the right people, then turn that visibility into steady, long-term growth.
I’m based in Portsmouth on the South Coast and work with clients nationwide as a SEO consultant. My work covers SEO strategy, technical SEO, on-page SEO, and content planning, brought together as one clear plan shaped around your goals. I work closely with business owners and marketing teams, using data and practical experience to guide decisions.
I have 15 years’ experience in SEO, including time working for one of the largest American retailers in the online photo industry. That background means I’m comfortable with complex sites and the details that drive results, site structure, content, and technical fixes that make a measurable difference.
Most sites need a mix of foundation work and page work. Some need local visibility tightened up. Others need clearer service pages, better internal linking, or technical fixes that stop key pages from being crawled and indexed properly. These core services cover the problems I see most often across Hampshire businesses.
If you already know what you need, you can start there. If you’re unsure, start with the outcome you want more of, then we match the work to the gap that is holding you back.
Better rankings, better traffic, and more enquiries starts with getting the foundations right. Let’s do it.
15+ Years Experience
Clear Communication
Results Focused
Case studies make it easier to judge fit, because you can see what the issue was, what changed, and what improved. I keep them practical and specific, so you can understand the thinking, not just the outcome.
Increased bookings for a local riding school by improving on-page content, local signals, and site access, then making it easier for visitors to book.
Built stronger non-brand visibility for a national photo print retailer, lifting rankings, orders, and revenue from organic search.
Turned a touring retailer’s site into a stronger lead channel by cleaning indexation, refreshing content, and improving rankings.
Got an SEO question or want a second opinion?
I’ve worked with local service businesses, multi-location brands, and e-commerce sites where structure and search intent make the difference.
Every sector has its quirks, but the fundamentals do not change. Build clear pages, send clear signals, and make the site do its job: turn visits into enquiries or sales. In competitive markets, steady SEO work is often what gives you a bit of space and keeps it.
If you’re investing in SEO, the foundations matter. As a Hampshire SEO consultant, I help you get clear on what’s holding your site back, then fix it in a practical order so the work leads to stronger rankings and more enquiries.
This is not a generic checklist or a report full of theory. I review how your site is built, how Google is crawling and indexing it, and how your key pages match real searches. As I learn more about your business, your margins, and how you win work, the recommendations get tighter. The aim is simple, a cleaner site, clearer pages, and SEO you can build on.
I start by getting clear on what you want more of and which pages should support that outcome. Then I work in a sensible order: foundations first, then page focus, then wider coverage where it adds value. Progress is tracked against visibility and the actions that matter, so decisions stay grounded.
Before I touch anything, I get clear on what “success” looks like for you and how people actually find your services online.
I review your current visibility, quick blockers, and the pages that should be doing the heavy lifting, then turn that into a simple set of priorities you can understand.
Next, I tighten the fundamentals that influence performance day to day: page structure, search intent, internal linking, and the technical bits that stop key pages from being crawled, indexed, or trusted.
The goal is straightforward: make it easier for Google to understand your site and easier for customers to take the next step.
Once the foundations are moving, I monitor the signals that matter to a business, not vanity metrics.
We track what’s gaining visibility, what’s earning the clicks, and what’s actually leading to enquiries, bookings, or sales. Then I adjust the plan based on what’s working, so progress stays steady and measurable.
I write these SEO blogs to share what I’m seeing in real client work, what’s changing in search, and what’s still worth your time. You’ll find quick tips for fast wins, plus longer guides that go into detail when it matters.
