SEO Consultant · Serving Manchester
SEO for Manchester, backed by national-brand experience.
I'm James Kelly. JK SEO is based in Blackburn, a short run down the M65 from Manchester. Before I went solo I was Head of SEO at the BBC, Head of SEO at Superdry, and ran digital marketing for Domino's. That's the standard the work here is held to, whatever the size of the business.
Manchester's close enough that distance isn't an excuse. I'll get in the car for a proper meeting, or run the whole thing on video, whichever gets to the answer faster. Same approach either way: find what's actually costing you traffic or revenue, then fix that.
Close enough to matter
I'm not pretending to have an office on Deansgate. I don't need one. Blackburn to Manchester is under an hour, so if a problem needs me in the room, I'm in the room. Most of the actual diagnosis happens over video and email anyway, because that's where the work gets done, not in a meeting.
National and global
Manchester's one market among several I work in. I've run SEO for businesses with a single Manchester office and businesses with dozens of sites across multiple countries, and the method doesn't change: find what's actually costing you, fix that first, then move to the next thing.
What I do
Technical SEO, local SEO, site migrations, audits, content strategy and AI search. If a Manchester business needs to be found in its own city, that's local SEO. If a replatform or a domain move could cost you your rankings, that's migrations. See all services.
How it works
You work with me, not a team I hand you off to. No account managers, no juniors billed at senior rates, nothing that locks you into a retainer you can't leave. If you're used to a typical Manchester agency setup, layers between you and the person actually doing the work, this is built to be the opposite of that.
Based in Blackburn. In Manchester when the work needs it. If that's you, tell me what's going on.
