Your website isn't found often enough, traffic drops after an update, or you want your brand to show up in answers from ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. A freelance SEO specialist tackles that in a focused way, without hiring a permanent specialist or signing a long contract.
Through Brandable you hire a specialist whose work we know. We do SEO and GEO (visibility in AI search) every day ourselves, so we know what a good specialist looks like.
When to hire a freelance SEO specialist
- Traffic or rankings are dropping and nobody knows exactly why
- A new website or migration is planned and you don't want to lose visibility
- Your content gets written, but not found
- You want to appear in AI answers, not just in Google
- Your webshop has thousands of pages and technical issues hold back growth
What an SEO specialist actually does
- Technical analysis: speed, indexing, structure, internal links, structured data and crawl errors
- Keyword and question research: what your customers really search for, in Google and in AI tools
- Improving content: strengthening existing pages before adding new ones
- Local visibility: Google Business Profile, reviews and local pages
- Authority: mentions and links that make sense for your sector
- Measuring: Search Console, analytics and honest reporting on what moves
What to look for when hiring
- Distrust guarantees. Nobody can promise rankings. Ask how someone works and what changed for similar sites.
- Technical and content. Many specialists are strong in one of the two. Ask which side your site needs most, and choose accordingly.
- Reporting you understand. You want to know what was done and what it delivers, not an export of fifty charts.
- Working with your developer. Technical SEO requires changes to your site. Make sure specialist and developer can work together, or let us add a developer.
- Not just Google. Ask how someone handles AI search engines. Read more about SEO and GEO.
Freelancer or something else?
A freelance SEO specialist works best with a clear question. Do you actually want to know whether SEO is your best channel, or how it compares to advertising and social? Then a free strategy session helps first. Mainly looking for someone for Google Ads? See freelance SEA specialist.

Frequently asked questions
What does a freelance SEO specialist do?
An SEO specialist improves your site's technical setup, structure and content and builds authority, so you're found more often. Visibility in AI search (GEO) is increasingly part of that.
Can an SEO specialist guarantee rankings?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. A good specialist shows how they work and what changed for similar sites.
How long before SEO delivers results?
That depends on your site, competition and what needs doing. Fixing technical errors can have a quick effect; building authority takes longer.
Do you help with website migrations?
Yes. An SEO specialist is especially valuable for a new site or migration, so you don't lose visibility.
