I’m Ryan Webb, a freelance SEO consultant and the person behind RWSEO. I’ve spent more than 15 years working across SEO and search marketing, helping businesses improve their visibility through technical SEO, e-commerce SEO, local search and stronger website content.

From Practice, Not Theory
I’ve worked in search marketing for more than 15 years, across everything from large e-commerce websites and established brands to smaller businesses focused on generating consistent enquiries.
My experience covers technical SEO, e-commerce SEO, local SEO, on-page optimisation, website migrations, analytics and search consultancy. Working across different types of websites has taught me to look beyond individual rankings and understand how technical issues, content, site structure and search intent fit together.
After enough time working in SEO, you start to recognise the patterns. What holds websites back, where opportunities are being missed and where businesses are spending time on work that is unlikely to make much difference. That experience shapes how I approach every project through RWSEO.

Independent SEO Consultancy
I started RWSEO to offer businesses a more direct way to get experienced SEO support. It’s an independent SEO consultancy, which means the person you speak to is also the person looking at your search data, reviewing your website and doing the work.
Some businesses come to me for ongoing SEO consultancy. Others need an SEO audit, help with a technical issue, support during a website migration or a clear plan for improving pages that should already be performing better.
I don’t believe every business needs the same SEO package. The starting point is understanding what is actually holding the site back, where the opportunities are and what is worth prioritising.

HANDS-ON SEO, DIRECT SUPPORT
01.
I stay close to the work, from keyword and competitor research through to technical reviews, content recommendations and performance analysis.
02.
Traffic alone isn’t the goal. I look at the searches, pages and opportunities most likely to support enquiries, bookings or sales.
03.
My background covers SEO, paid search, analytics and lead generation, giving me a wider view of how search supports a business.
04.
I’ve worked across e-commerce, retail, local services, manufacturing, hospitality and other competitive markets.
05.
You work directly with me. No account managers, no layers of communication and no wondering who is actually working on your SEO.
06.
I use Search Console, GA4, Semrush, Microsoft Clarity and other SEO tools to find opportunities and measure what changes after the work goes live.

Search Visibility Is Now Brand Visibility
Search is changing. Rankings still matter, but visibility increasingly depends on how clearly a business is understood, recognised and trusted across search.
That’s why a growing part of my work focuses on Brand SEO. I look at the signals that help search engines and potential customers understand who a business is, what it does and why it should be considered. That includes the website itself, search visibility, content, local presence, authority and how consistently the brand is represented online.
It doesn’t replace technical SEO, content or traditional optimisation. It connects them around a clearer business and brand presence.

PRESS COVERAGE & CLIENT FEEDBACK
Ryan’s been a real help with our SEO. He’s made it much easier to understand what needs doing and why, and he’s given us a clear plan we can actually follow. Nothing overcomplicated, just practical steps and steady progress.
You brought such calm confidence and creativity, and it made working with you genuinely easy. You understood our riding school straight away, listened to what we were trying to achieve, and then came back with ideas that actually fitted us.
Ryan, genuinely, thank you. You’ve been brilliant. The SEO work has been clear, structured, and easy to follow, and we’re already seeing encouraging signs with clicks and visibility. You’re transparent about what’s involved, realistic about timescales, and focused on doing things properly. Your quote is fair, and it’s money well spent.

See how I’ve approached SEO across real businesses, from identifying what was limiting search visibility to prioritising the changes most likely to make a difference.
