Freelance Pub SEO Consultant
Planning, creating and optimising keyword-focused content
A Keyword-Focused Approach to Pub SEO
In today’s competitive hospitality industry, a strong online presence is essential for pubs to attract customers, increase footfall, and grow their business. As a Freelance Pub SEO Consultant, I specialise in optimising websites for pubs, helping them rank higher in search results, drive traffic, and connect with local patrons.
With expertise as a Pub SEO Expert, I craft tailored strategies targeting high-intent keywords like “pubs near me,” “family-friendly pubs in [location],” or “live music pubs.” By aligning your website with these searches, I ensure your pub is easily discoverable by locals and visitors searching for a great place to dine or drink.
Comprehensive Pub SEO Services:
- Website Audit: I start by analysing your site’s performance, identifying areas for improvement, such as slow loading times, content gaps, and technical issues.
- On-Page SEO: I optimise your menu pages, event listings, and metadata to ensure they appeal to search engines and potential customers alike.
- Local SEO: Local visibility is critical for pubs. I optimise your Google Business Profile and integrate location-specific keywords to help your pub stand out in Google Maps and local search results.
- Content Strategy: I create engaging, SEO-optimised content such as blog posts on pub events, seasonal promotions, and drink pairings to attract organic traffic and boost customer engagement.
- Technical SEO: I address site speed, mobile usability, and navigation to create a seamless browsing experience that encourages visitors to book a table or visit your pub.
- Performance Tracking and Reporting: I provide transparent reports on your website’s rankings, traffic, and bookings, allowing you to see the impact of your SEO strategy.
Whether you run a traditional pub, gastropub, or community bar, my tailored Pub SEO Services help you attract more patrons and grow your business. Contact me today to optimise your online presence and make your pub the go-to spot in your area.

Outside of growing profits, I enjoy playing guitar and drums, getting stuck into a good book, walks in the woods and along the beach (both of which I’m lucky enough to live near!), and travelling in my self-build campervan (Instagram).
I’m in Norfolk, UK – a beautiful combination of coast, woodlands and city, even if it is a bit flat!
