Not sure which keywords to focus on? I do keyword research for your site: I group the keywords into topics, assign them to pages and show where the demand is, what dropped and where to start.

  • Topics your customers search for, and the ones you don't cover
  • Where you rank in Google now and where you dropped
  • Competitor keywords and an estimate of the traffic you could gain

What clients say

  • „We worked with Vlad on a Next.js project. He knew what he was doing from day one, didn't overcomplicate things and came up with better approaches on his own. I especially value his work on the site's performance. Everything was delivered as agreed.”

    George B. CEO, finance company

  • „We needed to build an MVP fast to test our idea in practice. Vlad helped us choose sensible solutions and focus on what we really needed for launch. We didn't try to build everything at once, yet he made sure the project could grow later without starting from scratch.”

    Alex N. Product Manager at StartupX

  • „Vlad got up to speed with our project quickly and pointed out several problems we hadn't treated as priorities. He sorted out our database and security issues. I liked that he didn't just complete tasks but clearly explained why something was worth changing and what the consequences could be.”

    Michał R. CTO at TechCorp

  • „We had an app where every bigger change was becoming a problem. Vlad helped us clean up the code, rebuild some of the older parts and introduce automated tests. Working on new features is much easier now. I also appreciate his patience in explaining technical topics to people outside the development team.”

    Sara K. Product Owner at WebSolutions

Frequently asked questions

How much does keyword research cost?

The price depends on the number of pages and topics, the language versions and how many competitors we compare. I confirm the exact amount before we start.

What access do you need?

Read-only access to Google Search Console, Google's free tool with data on your visits from search. I can start without it, but the data on where you rank will be less accurate.

Does keyword research make sense for a new site?

Yes, even more so. Keyword research before you build the site shows which pages to plan and what to write about. Without the site's history, the only thing I can't assess is its past positions in Google and the traffic it lost.

Do you research competitor keywords?

Yes. I compare which searches your competitors show up for and you don't. Not every one of their keywords fits your offer, so I keep only those that can bring you customers.

Where does the traffic estimate come from?

From search volumes and your current positions in Google. It is an approximation that helps set priorities, not a promised result.

What does keyword research not include?

Writing content, changes on the site and a technical audit. You get a keyword table, keywords mapped to pages, a plan and a call. We can quote content and fixes separately.

Can you guarantee a top position in Google?

No, and nobody honest can. I show what is holding you back and what will bring the most, then check the effect after the changes. Your results also depend on competitors and on changes Google makes.

How is this different from a monthly SEO agency contract?

An audit is one-off work with a clear scope and price. I don't buy links.

I usually reply within 2 hours.
