One off SEO advice, audits and training without a monthly contract
Not every business needs an ongoing SEO plan. As an SEO consultant for Albury businesses I offer audits, second opinions and hands on training, so you get clear answers and a plan you can act on yourself.
Pay for the advice you need and nothing more
Plenty of small business owners around Albury Wodonga are capable of looking after their own SEO. They just need someone to point them in the right direction, check their work or explain why something is not working. That is what a consulting job is for.
I have been building websites since 1995 and I do the SEO work for my own clients myself. When you book a consult you talk to me directly, not a sales person or an account manager. I look at your site, your Google Business Profile and your competitors, then tell you plainly what matters and what does not.
Some people book one session and never need another. Others come back once or twice a year for a check up. If it turns out you would rather hand the work over, my monthly SEO plans are month to month with no lock in.
Pick the job that fits where your business is right now
A full review of your website, Google Business Profile and search visibility, with a written list of problems ranked by how much they matter.
Already paying an agency? I will look over their reports and the work done on your site and tell you honestly if you are getting value.
A video call where I show you how to update your Google Business Profile, write better page titles and check your own rankings.
Building a new site or moving to a new one? I check redirects, page titles and indexing so you do not lose the rankings you already have.
Reports full of green arrows do not always mean more customers
I often hear from business owners who have paid an agency for a year or more and cannot tell if anything has changed. The reports look busy, but the phone is no busier. Sometimes the work is fine and simply needs more time. Sometimes the agency is ranking you for phrases nobody in Albury searches or building links that could get you into trouble.
A second opinion is a short, independent look at what has been done. I check which keywords you are being tracked for, how your Google Business Profile is set up, what links have been built and if your site has the basics right. You get a plain summary you can take back to your agency or use to decide what to do next.
I am not trying to poach you. If your agency is doing good work, I will say so.
A few hours of training can save you months of guessing
If you are a sole trader in Jindera or a small shop in Lavington, you may not have the budget for monthly SEO. You can still do a lot yourself. Most of the gains for local businesses come from a well kept Google Business Profile, clear service pages and asking happy customers for reviews.
In a training session I share my screen and walk you through your own accounts. The session covers how to post updates and photos to your profile, how to write a page title that says what you do and where, how to check which searches you show up for in Google Search Console and how to spot a problem before it costs you calls. You keep the notes and the recording.
Training works best when your website is easy to edit. If yours is not, it may be worth looking at a website redesign in WordPress, where you have full access to change your own pages.

Common questions from Albury Wodonga businesses about one off SEO help
Got a question that isn’t covered here? Ring me or send a message and you’ll hear back within one business day.
Website Design Albury provides SEO consulting for small businesses in Albury Wodonga, delivered by Nick Fritzkowski. Nick offers one off audits, second opinions on agency work and training sessions by phone or video call. There is no ongoing contract. If you later want monthly help the local SEO plans are month to month.
An SEO audit for an Albury business covers your website, your Google Business Profile and how you compare with local competitors. I check page titles, speed, mobile layout, indexing problems, local citations and backlinks. You receive a written list of issues ranked by importance, with clear steps you or your web person can follow.
A Wodonga business can get an independent check of its SEO agency’s work through my second opinion service. I review the keywords being tracked, the changes made to your site, the links built and your Google Business Profile. You get an honest summary, including a clear yes when the agency is doing good work.
Many business owners in Albury can learn to handle their own SEO basics with a little guidance. A training session covers your Google Business Profile, page titles, service pages and Google Search Console. You keep a recording and notes, so you can come back to them when you update your site.
A consultant suits a business that wants advice and is happy to do the work, while a monthly SEO plan suits one that wants the work done for them. If your market is competitive or you have no spare time, ongoing work usually makes more sense. If you just need direction, a consult is cheaper.
An SEO consultant does not need to visit your Albury business to do a thorough job. Everything I review is online. I work with clients by phone, email and video call. Screen sharing lets me walk you through your own accounts as if I were sitting beside you.
Getting SEO advice before building a new website is one of the smartest moves a business can make. Planning your pages around how people search saves rework later. Checking redirects before launch protects any rankings you already have. It is far cheaper to get this right at the start.
Send me your website address and a quick note about what is bothering you. I will let you know which kind of consult fits and what it will cost before any work starts.
