Services

Five disciplines, applied to one outcome.

Each service below can stand alone, but they are designed to work together. A domain is acquired because the numbers justify it; a topical map is built to make that domain rank; a tool is built because it strengthens the funnel around it; content is written to rank and to convert. That integration is the point.

Top expertise

Domain investment

My core expertise: premium domains, authority assets, aged SEO domains and brand-building digital real estate.

Read the full domain investment page

Domains are the land under every digital property. I acquire names with genuine value: memorable brandables, exact-match names with commercial demand, and aged domains whose link profiles were earned honestly and can support a serious rebuild.

Beyond buying and selling, I advise on portfolio strategy, run due diligence on domains you are considering, and help owners understand what a name is realistically worth and to whom. The details of how I evaluate a domain are on the domains page.

What this includes

  • Domain acquisition and expired-auction bidding strategy
  • Backlink and history due diligence
  • Valuation and resale advice
  • Portfolio audits for domain investors
  • Aged-domain rebuild planning
  • Brokered sales of selected portfolio names

Best suited for: founders choosing a name, investors building a portfolio, and owners who suspect they are sitting on an undervalued asset.

SEO strategy

Technical SEO, ranking systems, topical mapping, keyword strategy and content optimization.

Ranking is the outcome of a system, not a series of tricks. I design that system: the topical map that defines what a site should cover, the technical foundation that lets search engines crawl and understand it, the internal linking that distributes authority, and the content standards that make each page the best answer available.

Engagements range from a one-time strategic audit to ongoing direction for a content team. In every case the deliverable is a plan you can execute, with priorities ordered by expected impact rather than by what is easiest to do.

What this includes

  • Technical SEO audits and remediation plans
  • Topical mapping and site architecture
  • Keyword research and intent classification
  • Internal linking and authority flow
  • Content briefs and on-page optimization
  • Recovery strategy after ranking losses

Best suited for: site owners who have content but not rankings, and teams that need a clear, prioritised roadmap.

Affiliate marketing systems

High-conversion funnels, comparison sites and SEO-driven affiliate assets built to earn consistently.

An affiliate property is only as good as the match between what a visitor is searching for and what the page helps them decide. I build affiliate assets around that match: every page has a defined intent, a clear decision it helps the reader make, and a path to the right product that feels like a recommendation rather than an advertisement.

The work covers the full system, from keyword and category selection through page templates, comparison logic, tracking and ongoing optimization. Sites are built to be fast, compliant with program terms, and resilient to algorithm updates because they earn their rankings with genuinely useful content.

What this includes

  • Niche and program selection with revenue modelling
  • Comparison and review page architecture
  • Buying-guide content frameworks
  • Click-tracking and revenue attribution
  • Conversion-rate optimization of existing sites
  • Compliance with affiliate program and disclosure requirements

Best suited for: publishers with traffic that isn't converting, and investors who want a new affiliate property built correctly from the start.

Micro SaaS and tools

Small but powerful digital tools that generate recurring, long-term value.

Read more about the tools I build

Some search intents are best served by software, not text. A calculator, a formatter, a converter or a reference lookup can capture demand that content never will, and it earns loyalty because people return whenever they need the job done again.

I build these tools lean: fast, dependency-light, accessible, and monetized in ways that respect the user. I also build tools for other publishers who want to add utility value to an existing property.

What this includes

  • Opportunity research for tool-based search demand
  • Design and development of single-purpose web tools
  • Performance and accessibility engineering
  • Monetization design: ads, affiliate, premium tiers
  • Maintenance and iterative improvement
  • Tool development for third-party publishers

Best suited for: publishers who want to diversify beyond content, and entrepreneurs with a clear utility idea and no engineering partner.

Content monetization

Turning ideas into profitable digital assets through high-intent content frameworks.

Content becomes an asset when it is planned around intent, structured for search and connected to a revenue model from the first draft. I design content frameworks that do all three: templates and standards that let a site publish consistently, rank reliably and monetize without compromising the reader's trust.

That includes deciding which monetization fits which page (display, affiliate, lead generation or a product of your own), building the editorial system that keeps quality high at volume, and turning expertise into educational assets that sell.

What this includes

  • Content strategy tied to revenue models
  • Page templates and editorial standards
  • Monetization mapping across a site
  • Educational and informational asset development
  • Content refresh and pruning programmes
  • Writer briefs and quality control systems

Best suited for: creators and publishers with expertise or traffic that isn't yet producing income.
