Search Engine Optimisation Services

Freelance Author SEO Consultant

Planning, creating and optimising keyword-focused content

A Keyword-Focused Approach to Author SEO

For authors, a strong online presence is essential to connect with readers, promote books, and build a loyal fan base. As a Freelance Author SEO Consultant, I specialise in optimising websites for writers, helping them rank higher in search results, attract traffic, and grow their audience.

With expertise as an Author SEO Expert, I craft tailored strategies targeting high-value keywords such as “best-selling fiction author,” “poetry books by [your name],” or “self-help authors.” By aligning your website with these search terms, I help readers discover your work and engage with your personal brand.

My Author SEO Services include on-page optimisation to refine book pages, author bios, blogs, and metadata, ensuring your content is both search-engine-friendly and compelling for visitors. I also address technical SEO issues, such as improving site speed, mobile usability, and navigation, to create a seamless browsing experience.

For authors promoting events or book tours, I implement local SEO strategies to ensure visibility in specific regions. If you sell directly from your site, I optimise product pages and payment pathways to enhance conversions.

Whether you’re a fiction writer, a non-fiction author, or a poet, my SEO strategies ensure your work reaches the right audience. Let’s create an SEO plan that increases your visibility, drives book sales, and connects you with fans and readers worldwide.

With my professional Author SEO Services, you’ll enjoy higher rankings, greater traffic, and stronger engagement. Contact me today to optimise your digital presence and take your author journey to the next level.
