Working with an international SEO & GEO consultant
TL;DR
- I work remotely with a very limited number of clients worldwide.
- Engagements are scoped consulting, fixed projects or retainers - not one-off tasks.
- I work best with teams that treat digital as an investment.
- Clear diagnosis, prioritized actions, measurable outcomes.
If you're considering a remote SEO and GEO consultant, here's how I work - so you know what to expect before we talk.
Engagement models
Three ways: a scoped consulting project (audit, diagnosis, roadmap), a fixed project with a clear deliverable, or an ongoing retainer. I take a very limited number of clients at a time to guarantee focus, and I don't take one-off, low-involvement tasks.
Who I work best with
Brands and teams with digital maturity that want to grow in organic and in AI, and treat this as an investment rather than an expense. Time zones aren't a problem - I work remotely with clients across Europe and beyond.
How to get the most value
Come with a goal, access to your data (GSC, GA4) and a decision-maker in the room. The clearer the objective, the sharper the plan. I connect every action back to business results and explain the "why".

Remote and international is a feature, not a compromise
Working with a consultant based in Portugal, serving clients worldwide, has a specific upside for international brands: I've actually run multi-market, multilingual sites - hreflang, geo-targeting, cross-market cannibalization - as a Global SEO Specialist, not just read about them. Remote also means you're not paying for an office; you're paying for the work. Across time zones, async-first communication (clear written diagnoses, recorded walkthroughs) usually beats a calendar full of calls, and I schedule live sessions where they matter.
How a typical engagement runs
- Scoping call: your goal, your market(s), your constraints - and whether I'm the right fit (I take a very limited number of clients).
- Access & audit: read-only GSC and GA4, a crawl, and a prioritized diagnosis you keep whether or not we continue.
- Roadmap: the fixes that move the needle first, sequenced by effort against impact.
- Execution or guidance: I do the scoped work, or I steer your team and agencies.
- Measurement: results tracked in GA4 - including AI referral traffic - not vanity metrics.
What I need from you
The engagements that work share three things: a real objective (not "do some SEO"), data access so the diagnosis is grounded in your reality, and an internal owner who can make decisions. Give me those and the remote, cross-border setup becomes invisible - what's left is the work and the results.

Common mistakes and how to do it right
A good engagement is a two-way street. What makes it work - and what wastes everyone's time:
| Avoid | Do |
|---|---|
| ✗ Hiring for a one-off 'quick fix' | ✓ Scoping a real objective with a clear deliverable |
| ✗ Withholding GSC/GA4 access | ✓ Sharing data access so the diagnosis is grounded |
| ✗ Chasing vanity metrics | ✓ Tying work to revenue or qualified leads |
| ✗ No internal owner | ✓ Having a decision-maker involved from the start |
Tools I use and recommend
- Google Search ConsoleOrganic performance, coverage and field Core Web Vitals.
- Google Analytics 4Behaviour and conversion measurement.
- SemrushKeywords, site audit and competitor analysis.
