// The Brief

Search Offgrid is a senior ecommerce SEO consultancy for DTC founders running $50K+/month. The 'consultant' in the title is real, every engagement is led by an operator who has shipped DTC SEO work, not delegated it to a junior. The 'agency' part means we have the throughput to actually execute, not just diagnose. The combination, deep expertise with execution capacity behind it, is what lets us run the Ten-Lever Operating System and turn organic into your highest-margin channel.

// Detail

What you need to know about ecommerce seo consultant.

01

When to hire a consultant instead of an agency

An ecommerce SEO consultant is the right call when you have a competent in-house team that needs senior direction, or when you want one accountable operator instead of an account manager wrapping junior execution. The wrong consultant hands you a 60-page audit and disappears. The right one diagnoses the problem, prioritises the fixes, and ships alongside you. We work as the senior layer your team escalates to: writing the briefs your dev and content people execute against, reviewing their work, and shipping the fixes nobody on the team has time to own. The same operator who sits the diagnostic call writes the SEO audit, runs the keyword research, and ships technical fixes through your existing dev cycle. No handoffs.

02

Diagnosis-first ecommerce SEO consulting

Most consultants pattern-match. They have a template audit, run it across every client, and hand back the same list of best practices. We diagnose. Every engagement starts with a 30-minute diagnostic call to understand the business, the margin structure, the paid spend, the channel mix, and the bottleneck keeping you up at night. Then a one-week diagnostic across crawl, indexation, intent, and conversion. The output is the three highest-ROI levers ranked by revenue impact and effort, with a fixed-scope plan to ship them. The lever might be intent mapping across an unfocused content estate. It might be content strategy aligned to the searches that actually move carts. It might be editorial link building to compound authority. It might be traffic recovery after an algorithm update wiped your rankings. We don't sell levers we don't believe will move your number this quarter.

03

How the consulting engagement works

Three monthly tiers, all fixed-scope and month-to-month. Recon ($1,500/mo) is diagnostic plus advisory, the right tier when you have an in-house team and need senior direction. Operator ($2,000/mo) adds execution: hands on the keyboard for technical work, content briefs, structured-tag deployment, link prospecting. Command ($3,000/mo) adds editorial links, AI search optimisation, and quarterly forecasting tied to your contribution margin. Onboarding takes 7 days from contract signature; first deliverables ship by day 14. Async-first communication: weekly Loom recordings, Slack for fast cycles, calendar invites only when there's a real decision to make. We turn down work that doesn't fit, which is why the brands who do work with us get our actual time.

04

Different shapes of engagement

If you'd rather hire a full team retainer than embed a consultant with your in-house team, our broader DTC SEO agency engagement applies the same operator model with more execution capacity. Same Ten-Lever Operating System, sliced by entry point.

// Why us

What you actually get when you hire us.

// 01

Senior operator. No juniors.

The same person who sits the diagnostic call writes the audit, prioritises the levers, and ships the fix. No account-manager middle layer charging your retainer for itself.

// 02

Diagnosis before prescription

Most consultants pattern-match against their template playbook. We diagnose your store specifically, and tell you which three levers to pull this quarter, ranked by dollar impact and effort.

// 03

Execution included

We're not just strategists. Hands-on implementation is part of every Operator and Command tier, code, content, structured tags, link outreach, the lot.

// 04

Async-first communication

Weekly Loom recordings instead of weekly status meetings. Slack for fast cycles. Calendar invites only when there's a real decision to make. You give us two hours a month, we run the channel.

// 05

DTC-only specialism

We turn down B2B and SaaS work because pattern recognition matters. The DTC playbook compounds, your engagement benefits from every other DTC engagement we've run.

// 06

Honest about timelines

SEO is a slower channel than paid. We're upfront on the diagnostic call about which results land in 30 days, which in 90, and which compound across a year. No miracle promises. No magic numbers.

// Fit check

Who this is actually for.

// Built for

  • DTC ecommerce founder or marketing lead
  • Brand doing $50K+/month in revenue
  • Wants a senior operator, not an account team
  • Comfortable with async-first work

// Not for

  • Looking for someone to run paid media
  • B2B or SaaS
  • Pre-product-market-fit
  • Want daily check-ins or status meetings

// FAQ

The questions every founder asks first.

  • Both. The work is consultant-grade, senior, diagnosis-first, no juniors, but the execution capacity is agency-grade. We deliver the strategy and ship the implementation under one roof.

  • Hourly billing rewards stretching the work. Fixed tiers reward shipping. The Operator tier is $2,000 a month for a defined deliverable set, if the work takes us less time, that's our problem, not yours.

  • Both. The three tiers are monthly. Project-only work, a one-time audit, a migration, a recovery, is scoped separately, on the same fixed-price principle.

  • Often the best engagement model. We act as the senior operator your team escalates to, write the briefs they execute against, and review their work. Saves you a senior hire and gives them a sounding board.

  • Remote-first, with team distributed across US time zones. We work with US, UK, and EU brands. Communication windows usually overlap a few hours each working day; for time-sensitive recoveries we run extended hours.

  • Onboarding takes 7 days from contract signature. First deliverables ship by day 14. For traffic-recovery engagements we triage within 72 hours, no exceptions.
