What actually happens in the 30 minutes
No discovery questionnaire, no slide deck. We share a screen and work.
Where you are
What you sell, who buys it, and what you've already tried with content. Short, because the rest matters more.
Live look at your search
Your Search Console and top pages on screen. Which queries bring people in, and where those people stop.
The gaps and the three fixes
The terms your competitors own that you don't, and the three highest-return changes in order.
An honest fit call
Whether this is a do-it-yourself job, a freelancer job, or a Derive DE job. Often it's one of the first two.
What you leave with
Everything below is yours to keep and act on, with no strings and nothing gated.
Three prioritised fixes
Written down, in order, with the reason each one is above the others. Most teams can ship at least one the same week.
Your real competitor set
Who you actually compete with in search, which is usually not who you compete with in sales calls. That distinction changes the strategy.
A realistic timeline
What organic can and can't do for you in three, six, and twelve months at your current authority. Including when the answer is "not yet".
What people say after the call
Unedited, from founders and marketing leads who took the free 30 minutes.
Reviews are being collected
The consultation is new, so there's nothing published here yet. Rather than fill the space with stock quotes, it stays empty until real people have said something real. Reviews go up here as they come in, with names and job titles attached.
In the meantime, the client testimonials on the homepage are verifiable, and every credential on the about page links to its own verification page.
What came out of a call
Short, honest write-ups of consultations. These aren't retainer case studies. They're what half an hour and a shared screen surfaced, including the times the answer was "you don't need an agency for this".
The first write-ups are in progress
Each one needs the client's permission and a real outcome to report, so these go up as consultations happen and there's something worth writing down. No composites, no anonymised guesswork.
Want to be one of them? Book the free 30 minutes and we'll ask before we publish anything.
Before you book
Is this really free, and is there a catch?
It's free and there's no catch. The reasoning is simple: the fastest way to show you how I think is to think about your site out loud for half an hour. Some people hire me afterwards, most don't, and both outcomes are fine.
What do I need to have ready?
Access to your Google Search Console, ideally shared on screen. If you don't have it set up, come anyway and we'll work from what's publicly visible. Nothing else to prepare.
How is this different from the free audit?
The audit is written by hand and sent to you within 48 hours, so it's better if you'd rather read than talk. The consultation is live, so you can ask follow-up questions and push back in real time. Plenty of people do both, and there's no order you have to do them in.
What if I'm not an early-stage B2B SaaS company?
Book anyway. If you're outside the focus I'll say so on the call and point you somewhere better, which takes about five minutes and costs you nothing.
Pick a time that works
The calendar is my own, so the slot you pick is the slot you get. If nothing there fits your timezone, send a message and we'll find something.
