Why Senior-Led

The Strategist Doesn't Disappear.

Most agencies win you with a senior strategist and service you with a junior team. You meet the expert once, then spend the next year explaining your business to whoever drew your account.

With me, that doesn't happen. I set the strategy, I make the calls, and I'm the one you talk to every week. Ten years of search experience, pointed at your business specifically.

✓ One point of contact, from the first call onward
✓ Vetted specialist partners when you need them, managed by me
✓ Engagements sized to what you need this quarter
✓ GEO and AI search built into the plan from day one
What I Do

Everything Between
a Search and a Sale

Rankings get people to your site. What happens next decides whether they buy. I work on both.

🔧

Technical SEO

Crawlability, indexation, site speed, schema, and hreflang for multi-market sites. The foundation everything else sits on.

✍️

Content Strategy

Keyword research, topic clusters, and content briefs your writers can actually use. Built to rank and built to sell.

🤖

GEO & AI Search

How your brand shows up in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews, and what to change so it gets cited more often.

🔗

Links & Digital PR

Digital PR and link acquisition through vetted partners I manage directly. Real authority, nothing you'll need to clean up in two years.

🎯

Conversion & UX

Traffic only pays if it converts. I flag the confusing layouts, buried calls to action, and slow pages that leak leads.

📊

Audits & Marketing Strategy

Technical and competitive audits, plus a clear view of how search fits alongside your paid, email, and social channels.

Who I Work With

Who Hires a
Fractional SEO Consultant?

🚀

Scale-Up Brands

You've found product-market fit and want organic built properly the first time, before bad habits set in.

🏢

Growing Businesses

You need senior SEO judgment, but a full-time Head of SEO doesn't make sense yet.

💼

Marketing Leaders

You run a lean team and need someone who can own search, report to leadership, and doesn't need managing.

🔄

Agencies

You need senior SEO help on a client account without adding permanent headcount.

Timothy Backes, SEO and GEO consultant
About

Hi, I'm Tim.

I've worked in SEO for over ten years, on agency teams, in-house, and now independently. That mix taught me what agencies get wrong and what in-house teams can't see from the inside.

I keep my roster small so every client gets my full attention and my honest opinion, even when it isn't what they were hoping to hear.
