Ecommerce SEO consultant
A document on its own doesn't change anything.
We stay and do the work.
We review the store, agree what to fix first, and do the work, at a fixed monthly price, with the results reported in orders. The campaign lead on your first call stays on it: they write the review, do the keyword research, and get the fixes live.

Read the case studyIn short
Search Offgrid is an ecommerce SEO consultancy for DTC brands. Your campaign lead does the review, sets the order of work and writes your monthly report, with specialists on content, outreach and development working behind them, so you get one senior person accountable and enough capacity to get the work done. Month one is the review and a written plan. From month two the work goes live as it's ready, and each month you get a short report on what was done, what moved in Google, and what came in as orders. Plans are $1,500, $2,000 or $3,000 a month at a fixed price, month to month, and you can stop at the end of any month.
The detail
Ecommerce SEO consultant, explained.
01
When to hire a consultant instead of an agency
A consultant is the right call when you have a capable in-house team that needs direction, or when you want one senior person accountable rather than an account manager relaying work you never see.
The version that doesn't help is a sixty-page audit and a handover call. The version that does reviews the store, decides what to fix first, and works alongside you. We often sit as the layer your team escalates to: writing the briefs your developer and writer work from, reviewing what they ship, and doing the jobs nobody in the team has time to own. The campaign lead on your first call writes the SEO audit, does the keyword research, and gets the technical fixes through your existing release process.
02
A review before a recommendation
A template audit run across every client hands back the same list of best practices, whatever the store sells.
We start instead with a free 30-minute call to understand what you sell, your margins, what you've tried and what's in the way. Then a review across crawling, indexing, intent and conversion, usually two to three weeks depending on the size of the store. What comes out is a short list of fixes in the order we'd do them, with the effort involved and what each one depends on. Sometimes that's intent mapping across a sprawling set of pages. Sometimes it's content built around the searches that bring in orders. Sometimes it's link building, and sometimes it's working out what caused a drop after a Google update. We don't recommend services we don't think will move your numbers.
03
How the work runs
Three plans, fixed scope, month to month.
Starter at $1,500 a month is the review and the advice, which suits teams that can make the changes themselves. Growth at $2,000 a month adds the hands-on work: technical fixes, content briefs, structured data and outreach. Scale at $3,000 a month adds editorial link building, AI search work and a quarterly plan. Getting set up takes about a week once you've signed off, and the review lands in the first month. Most communication is written, with calls when there's a real decision to make, and we need about two hours a month from you. You can stop at the end of any month.

Different shapes of work
If you'd rather hire a team than add a consultant alongside your own, our DTC SEO agency page covers the same work with more capacity behind it. Same approach, different starting point.
Why us
What you get.
Every account gets one campaign lead who runs it end to end. Plans are $1,500, $2,000 or $3,000 a month at a fixed price, month to month, so you can stop at the end of any month. Month one is usually the review and a written plan, with changes going live from month two.
01
One campaign lead, accountable
The campaign lead on your first call writes the review, sets the order of work, and reports each month. No account manager relaying it, and no rotating cast.
02
A review before a recommendation
We look at your store, your competitors and your search data before proposing anything, then tell you what to fix first and what each fix depends on.
03
The work is included
We're not only advising. Hands-on work is part of the Growth and Scale plans: code, content, structured data and outreach.
04
Mostly written, few meetings
Written updates instead of weekly status calls, and calls when there's a decision to make. We need about two hours a month from you.
05
Ecommerce and service businesses
Most of our work, and all of our published results, is DTC ecommerce. We work with service businesses too, reported in leads, calls or bookings instead of orders.
06
Honest about timelines
Search is slower than paid. On the call we'll say which fixes land in the first month, which typically take three to six, and what the rest depends on.

FAQ
Ecommerce SEO consultant questions, answered.
Both, in practice. We're an agency, and you work with a senior campaign lead who does the review and the planning, with specialists handling content, outreach and development behind them. The advice and the work come from the same place rather than being handed off.
So you know the cost before the month starts. Growth is $2,000 a month for an agreed scope, and the invoice is the same whether a job takes us longer or less time than we expected. If something comes up outside the scope, we'll quote it before doing it.
Both. The three plans are monthly. One-off work, such as a review, a migration or a recovery, is quoted separately at a fixed price.
Often the best way to do it. We write the briefs your team works from, review what they ship, and handle the parts nobody has time to own. It usually costs less than a senior hire, and it gives your team someone to check decisions with.
We work remotely with US, UK and EU businesses. There's usually a few hours of overlap with your working day, and we extend that when something urgent needs attention.
Usually within a week or two of signing off. The review lands in the first month, and the work starts going live from month two.
