Senior SEO consulting that turns your in-house team into a ranking machine.
Your in-house team knows your brand. Our SEO consulting brings the strategic depth, the tooling and the 13 years of white-hat-only experience to build them an SEO roadmap that compounds long after our engagement ends — with no black-hat shortcuts and no risk of penalties.
Trusted by teams at
Every SEO consulting engagement at Whitehat is led by a senior strategist. Your roadmap is not handed to a graduate — you get the person who built the methodology, on your account, from day one.
We audit, analyse and prioritise fast. Within 90 days you have a fully validated, revenue-prioritised SEO roadmap your team can execute with confidence — including quick wins and 12-month horizon plays.
Consulting that builds dependency isn't consulting — it's lock-in. We embed knowledge into your team through structured training so your in-house capability grows with every sprint.
If your current agency feels like a cost centre,

Three ways to work with us.
Every engagement is scoped to your goal — not slotted into a fixed retainer ladder. Pick the shape that matches where you are; we’ll forecast the investment in your first call.

- ✓One senior strategist, one channel
- ✓Weekly working session

Growth Retainer
A senior pod plugged into your business. Strategist, specialists and creative working in weekly ship cycles, all tied to a revenue number your CFO signs off on.

Embedded Partner
Senior Whitehat strategists integrated alongside your in-house team. We sit your stand-ups, ship from your repos, and report to your exec. Effectively a fractional growth function.

SEO consulting questions, answered straight.
Still got questions? Our team replies to every enquiry inside 24 hours.
What does an SEO consultant do?
An SEO consultant audits your website, analyses your competitive landscape and builds a prioritised roadmap to grow organic search rankings and revenue. At Whitehat, every engagement also includes competitor research, technical recommendations and in-house team training — so the work compounds after the engagement ends.
How is SEO consulting different from an SEO retainer?
SEO consulting is strategy-first — you engage our SEO consultancy to audit, plan and advise rather than to execute every deliverable. It suits businesses with capable in-house teams that need senior strategic direction. An SEO retainer is a full-service engagement where we handle execution as well as strategy.
How long does it take to get an SEO roadmap?
Our standard SEO consulting engagement delivers a fully validated, revenue-prioritised roadmap within 90 days. That includes the technical audit, keyword research, competitor gap analysis, quick-win recommendations and a 12-month horizon plan — all ready for your team to action.
Can you train our in-house team alongside the consulting work?
Yes, and we recommend it. In-house training is a core part of every Whitehat consulting engagement. We run structured workshops with your writers, developers and marketing team so that SEO best practice becomes embedded in how your organisation works — not dependent on us being in the room.
Do you offer fractional SEO director services?
Yes. Our fractional SEO director service gives your business a senior SEO leader on a part-time basis — attending leadership meetings, aligning SEO to business objectives and overseeing your in-house team — without the cost of a full-time hire. Typical engagements run 1–3 days per month.
How much does SEO consulting cost?
SEO consulting at Whitehat runs as an ongoing advisory retainer, or a fixed project fee for a one-off audit and 90-day roadmap. Pricing reflects senior strategist time — every engagement is led by the person who built the methodology, never a junior. After a free strategy session we quote against the $650M+ revenue our white-hat approach has generated.
What should you look for in an SEO consultant?
A strong SEO consultant gives you senior-led strategy, a revenue-prioritised roadmap and the training to make your team self-sufficient — not lock-in dependency. Demand white-hat-only methods (we've had zero penalties in 13 years), transparent reporting tied to revenue rather than vanity rankings, and proof of outcomes: ours is $650M+ generated for clients across Australia.
When should a business hire an SEO consultancy instead of an agency?
Hire an SEO consultancy when you have a capable in-house team that can execute but needs senior strategic direction, an objective audit or upskilling. You engage us to plan, prioritise and train rather than deliver every task. Businesses without internal capacity are usually better served by a full retainer. Our consulting delivers a validated, revenue-prioritised roadmap within 90 days.
Do you offer SEO consulting in Sydney?
Yes. While we provide SEO consulting services to businesses Australia-wide, plenty of our clients are Sydney-based, so SEO consulting in Sydney is a core part of what we do — on-site or remote, including AI-driven search strategy. Whether you need a Sydney SEO consultant for a one-off roadmap or ongoing advisory, every engagement is senior-led and backed by $650M+ generated.
Everything else we run in-house.
