What does an SEO consultant do?
An SEO consultant gives you senior strategy and direction without a full agency retainer — diagnosing what's holding your rankings back, building a prioritised roadmap, and guiding your team (or ours) to execute. In 2026 that also means preparing your site for AI search, not just Google.
The honest diagnosis first. Most sites underperform for one of a few reasons — weak authority, thin content, technical issues, or no AI-search readiness. A good consultant tells you which, before you spend a dollar on execution.
When do you need a consultant vs an agency?
Choose a consultant when you have an in-house team that can execute but needs senior direction, when you want an independent audit and roadmap, or when you need to know why you're not ranking before committing budget. Choose a full SEO agency when you want the execution done for you.
What AI Studio's SEO consulting covers
- Technical & content audit — what's blocking rankings, prioritised by impact.
