Google Search Console — 6 months
From flat traffic to a hockey-stick growth curve
After my on-page rewrite, internal linking overhaul and entity-based content optimisation, clicks and impressions began compounding within 30 days. By month 6 the site averaged 200+ clicks/day and an average position of 7.5 across 411 keywords.
Crawl Budget & Technical SEO
89% healthy crawl rate, <1% server errors
I rebuilt the XML sitemap, fixed 4XX/301 chains, compressed render-blocking CSS/JS, and prioritised mobile-first crawling. Result: Googlebot now spends 98% of its budget on refresh crawls of money pages — not waste URLs.
Ahrefs — Off-Page & Authority
62 referring domains, 91.5% UK traffic share
A targeted off-page push earned 80 high-quality backlinks from 62 referring domains, lifting the site into 40 Google AI Overviews and surfacing in ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok answers. Organic traffic value sits at $848/month — pure inbound lead-gen.
What I delivered
A focused 6-month sprint
Single-page on-page SEO rewrite (title, H1–H3, schema, semantic entities)
Internal link silo restructuring around immigration practice areas
Core Web Vitals: LCP, CLS and INP fixes for mobile-first index
Targeted off-page link building from UK legal & news publications
LocalBusiness, FAQ & Service schema markup for rich results
Business outcome
A real lead-generating asset
The website now generates a steady flow of qualified immigration enquiries — visa applications, appeals and family route consultations — directly from Google. With 52 keywords in the top 3 and 365 UK-ranking terms, the firm has cut its paid acquisition spend dramatically while building a defensible organic moat.
