Let’s Build Something That Actually Ranks and Converts
You’re Here Because Something Isn’t Working
Maybe your site is slow and Google knows it. Maybe you’re stuck on page two for keywords that matter. Maybe your developer built something beautiful that doesn’t rank, or your SEO gave you recommendations your team can’t implement.
Here’s what makes working with me different: I don’t just identify problems—I have the technical ability to fix them. I don’t hand you a 50-page audit and disappear. I execute. I build. I optimize. And I treat your site like it feeds my family, because I know what that’s like.
If you’re tired of the gap between strategy and execution, let’s close it.
What Working With Me Looks Like
I’m Not an Agency. I’m a Technical Partner.
No account managers. No junior team members learning on your dime. No playing telephone between departments. When you work with me, you get me—someone who can design your interface, write the code, optimize for search, and explain it all in plain language.
I speak fluent developer and fluent SEO, which means nothing gets lost in translation. When I say “we need to optimize LCP,” I can also show you the exact code causing the issue and fix it myself.
Who I Work With
You’re a Good Fit If:
✅ You’re serious about organic growth — SEO is a long-term channel, not a quick fix
✅ You value execution over theory — You need someone who implements, not just advises
✅ You’re in a competitive niche — iGaming, affiliate, finance, eCommerce, healthcare
✅ You’ve been burned before — By developers who don’t understand SEO or SEOs who can’t code
✅ You want technical precision — Core Web Vitals, site architecture, and crawlability matter to you
✅ You’re willing to invest properly — Doing it right costs more than doing it cheap
✅ You understand timelines — Rankings take 3-6 months in competitive spaces
We’re Probably Not a Fit If:
❌ You need guaranteed page-one rankings in 30 days
❌ You’re shopping for the cheapest option available
❌ You want to micromanage every technical decision
❌ You’re looking for black-hat shortcuts or link schemes
❌ You just need basic WordPress setup or theme installation
❌ You expect results without consistent execution
I work with a limited number of clients at a time to ensure quality. If you’re serious about building technical infrastructure that lasts, keep reading.

Phase 3: Execution (Where the Real Work Happens)
Once you approve the roadmap, I get to work. Here’s what execution looks like:
Communication & Transparency

- Access to project management board (Trello, Asana, or your preferred tool)
- Direct communication via email, Slack, or scheduled calls

Collaboration Style

- I work independently but keep you informed
- Major decisions require your approval

How I report progress:
- Monthly performance reports with key metrics and insights
- Google Analytics & Search Console data showing traffic and ranking trends
- Core Web Vitals tracking documenting speed improvements
- Backlink growth reports (if link building is included)
- Actionable recommendations for the next phase
What happens after initial project completion:
You have options:

- Quarterly optimization sprints — Periodic deep-dives to maintain momentum
- Project-based work — Tackle new initiatives as they arise (new products, site expansions, migrations)
- Priority support — Ad-hoc assistance for technical issues or strategic questions
I don’t believe in forced long-term contracts. If the work is valuable, you’ll stay. If it’s not, you shouldn’t have to.
Investment & Pricing Philosophy
I Don’t Do Cheap Work
Why? Because cheap SEO doesn’t work. You get:
- Generic audits with no implementation
- Junior team members learning on your project

- No accountability when results don’t materialize
My pricing reflects the value I deliver: technical expertise, strategic thinking, and hands-on execution that actually moves rankings.

What Clients Say (The Real Feedback)
I can’t share client names due to NDAs, but here’s what they’ve told me:
“Most SEOs tell you what’s broken. James actually fixes it. And he explains it in a way that makes sense, not jargon-filled reports.” — Jenny Jordan – A1 Pest Control Canberra
“We tried three agencies before James. The difference is he codes. When he says ‘optimize Core Web Vitals,’ he doesn’t hand us homework—he implements it.” — Anthony Morales, SaaS Marketing Director
“Our site speed went from failing to passing, and we saw ranking improvements within 45 days. The technical execution is next-level.” — Dan, iGaming Affiliate Owner Malaysia Market
“I was skeptical about SEO after getting burned twice. James Cee proved me wrong. He’s honest about timelines, transparent with reporting, and delivers what he promises.” — Amy Cheung, Digital Marketing Agency Owner – Healthcare Clinic Project
“Finally—someone who understands both development and SEO. No more playing telephone between our dev team and SEO consultant.” — Jinky, Startup Founder Philippines
Industries I Specialize In
I’ve worked across multiple sectors, but I have deep expertise in high-stakes, competitive niches where technical precision and strategic execution determine success:
🎰 iGaming & Online Gambling — Navigating competitive SERPs, regulatory compliance, and penalty-resistant link building
💰 Affiliate Marketing — Building profitable niche sites, monetization optimization, and authority scaling
🛒 eCommerce — Product page optimization, category architecture, technical SEO for large catalogs
🏥 Healthcare — HIPAA compliance, E-E-A-T optimization, local SEO for medical practices
💳 Finance & FinTech — Trust signals, compliance-conscious SEO, competitive keyword targeting
💼 SaaS & B2B — Long sales cycles, complex buyer journeys, technical content optimization
🍴 Food & Travel — Content-rich sites, local SEO, rich snippet optimization
If your industry is competitive and technical mistakes are expensive, we’re a good fit.
Why Work With Me Instead of an Agency?
Plus: I learned SEO from a family that’s been ranking sites since 2008—not from a corporate training manual.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I see results?
Technical fixes (speed, crawlability) can show impact within 2-4 weeks. Ranking improvementsfor competitive keywords typically take 3-6 months. Algorithm recovery can take longer. I’ll set realistic expectations based on your specific situation.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Anyone who guarantees specific rankings is lying or using tactics that will get you penalized. I guarantee professional execution, transparent communication, and strategies proven to work in competitive niches. Results depend on many factors, some outside my control.
Can you work with my existing team?
Absolutely. I collaborate well with developers, designers, content teams, and marketers. Clear documentation and communication ensure smooth integration.
What if I only need help with one specific thing?
Small projects or one-off fixes can sometimes be handled as standalone tasks. Email me the specifics and I’ll let you know if it’s feasible or if it requires a broader approach.
Do you require long-term contracts?
For one-time projects, no contract—just a clear scope and payment terms. For retainers, I prefer month-to-month with 30-day cancellation notice. If the work is valuable, you’ll stay. If not, you shouldn’t have to.
What tools do you use?
- SEO: Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, RankMath
- Performance: PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse, GTmetrix
- Development: VS Code, Git, Local/staging environments
- Analytics: Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager
- Project Management: Trello, Asana, or your preferred tool
Are you available for emergency fixes?
Current clients get priority support. If your site is down, penalized, or experiencing a crisis, email me immediately and I’ll assess availability.
Do you work internationally?
Yes. I’m based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, but I serve clients globally. Time zone differences are manageable with async communication and scheduled calls.
