Despite ongoing website improvements, content optimisation and technical updates, our organic performance has declined. We need someone who can identify the actual root causes, implement the necessary fixes and continuously manage our SEO performance. We are particularly concerned about potential Google algorithm impacts, technical SEO issues, keyword cannibalisation, content quality, indexing problems and backlink-related risks. We are not looking for a basic SEO audit or generic recommendations. We need an experienced specialist who can diagnose problems, implement fixes and take ownership of ongoing improvements.
