SEO Power Hour

One hour. One call. Real answers about your website.

SEO Power Hour

What is an SEO power hour?

An SEO power hour is a focused, one-to-one session with me – Melissa Critchley – where we spend 60 minutes looking at your website, your search visibility, and what’s getting in the way of the enquiries you should be getting.

It’s for small business owners who know something isn’t right with their website but aren’t sure what to fix first. You’ll leave the call with a written action plan and a clear list of priorities – not a vague to-do list, a specific set of next steps based on your actual site.

I’ve been doing this for over 20 years. I’ve helped 250+ small businesses across the UK, and I hold 47 five-star Google reviews. I don’t do jargon, and I don’t do fluff. But I am not as fierce as this sentence makes me sound!

What we can cover in your SEO power hour?

Every session is different, but here are the things small business owners most often want help with:

SEO:
Keyword research, understanding why you’re not ranking, local SEO, Google Search Console, content strategy, and knowing which pages are actually hurting you.

Website:
Conversion issues, page speed, user experience, tech decisions — WordPress themes, plugins, hosting, or moving away from a platform that’s holding you back.

Digital marketing:
Content planning, getting more enquiries online, understanding your traffic, and working out where your time is best spent.

How an SEO power hour works

  • Book your session – choose a time that suits you via the booking link below.
  • Tell me what you want to cover – you’ll get a short form asking about your website, your goals, and what’s worrying you.
  • We spend 60 minutes together – on Zoom, working through your website and your questions.
  • You get a written summary – after the call I send you a short written record of what we covered and what to do next, so you can refer back to it.

A 60-minute Power Hour session is £175.

Is this for you?

This session works well if:

  • Your website traffic or enquiries have dropped and you don’t know why
  • You’ve heard about SEO but don’t know where to start or what actually matters for your type of business
  • You want an honest second opinion on whether your current site is working as hard as it should
  • You’re not ready to commit to a full SEO project yet but want to understand the gap
  • You want to make changes yourself and just need to know which ones to make

If you’re about to launch a new website, run through this checklist first — then book a session if you’d like me to sense-check it with you.

SEO Power Hour FAQs

What is an SEO power hour?


An SEO power hour is a one-to-one session where an SEO specialist looks at your website and tells you exactly what to focus on to improve your Google rankings and get more enquiries. The session lasts 60 minutes and ends with a written action plan.

How much does an SEO power hour cost?


My SEO power hour is £175. That includes the session itself plus a short written summary of what we covered and your next steps.

What happens after the session?


You’ll receive a written record of what we discussed and a list of prioritised actions. If you decide you’d like ongoing help after the session, I’m happy to talk through options – but there’s no pressure.

Is this suitable if I’m not technical?


Yes. I explain everything in plain English. You don’t need any prior SEO knowledge – just a website and a list of questions.

Do I need to prepare anything?


You’ll get a short form when you book. Fill that in and you’re ready. If you have access to Google Search Console, it’s worth having that open during the call – but if you don’t, that’s fine.

What if I need more than SEO help?


I also offer a website power hour and a digital marketing power hour covering the same format but focused on your site’s design and performance, or your broader marketing strategy. You can book any of these through the same link.

Can I book more than one session?


Yes – plenty of clients come back for a second session once they’ve worked through the actions from the first one.

I'm so pleased I chose Melissa to create my new website. Not only am I delighted with the result, but it was a pleasure to work with her. I was very nervous about the whole process, but she guided me through it from start to finish, with clarity, insight and expertise. I would absolutely recommend her if you're thinking about a new website.

I contacted Melissa to help build my new website. I wanted a site that would display my textile art in a professional manner whilst explaining the thought processes and inspiration behind it and how people can commission my work. Working with Melissa was a real pleasure. She totally understood what I was aiming for and the way I wanted my art work to be presented. Melissa has helped me in lots of unexpected ways. She has given my work a rebrand and shown me how to engage better with my audience, keeping my site simple but aesthetically interesting. The biggest win from working with Melissa is how this process of reflection on my work and what I am about has improved my confidence. I am proud of my new website and feel confident referring customers to the site knowing they will get a professional, well-presented and informative view of my work. I will definitely continue to work with Melissa because of the expertise she brings and her friendly supportive attitude. I look forward to our partnership continuing to bear fruit as my website develops in tandem with my textile art.

This: "The biggest win from working with Melissa is how this process of reflection on my work and what I am about has improved my confidence." This is just everything! Who knew the process of creating a new website with me could boost your confidence! Honestly Lisa, I am so delighted to hear this and know that your brilliant business will go from strength to strength.

Melissa has helped enormously in the development of our fledgling business, by working tirelessly and expertly to rebuild our website and really make it work for us. She has a huge amount of expertise and also - luckily for us! - a huge amount of patience. She created a website that not only looks beautiful but also fulfils all the technical criteria we needed. She's very hands-on and incredibly committed. We couldn't possibly have managed any of this without her, and we're extremely grateful that she's part of our Writers Inc team. Jane Sanderson and Brian Viner

Owner's reply
Thank you both! It was such a great project to work on and I am sure your writers' retreats are going to be a huge success and dont forget I am always here to help troubleshoot any issues.

My website was in need of a revamp and the agency managing my SEO was providing me with very little help. I was recommended Melissa and after our first discussion about what I need and how she could help, I knew she was going to be great. Melissa has lots of interesting ideas and she really went above and beyond to create a website that performs to the highest of standards. The new website visually is absolutely fantastic but more importantly it is user friendly, optimised well and the SEO is already working its magic. Almost instantly I was noticing more enquiries coming through the website. If you are looking for a personalised service with someone who genuinely wants to help you and your business succeed then get in touch with Melissa. Thank you for all your help and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Owner's reply
Thank you so much Craig! It has been an absolute pleasure working with both yourself and your team to get your website up and running!

A great initial website created by Wildcurrant to start our business a couple of years ago. We recently updated and expanded the site with Melissa's help, guidance and savvy advice, and now have more customers and enquiries than ever! It's definitely working for us. Thank you!

Owner's reply
Thank you Jason! It means everything to me that the websites I build bring you the clients you want - it's the magic of SEO...

I had the pleasure of having a discovery call with Melissa from Wild Currant Marketing, and I can’t recommend her enough. She was an absolute star—so helpful, generous with her time, and full of valuable information and tips about websites and SEO. Melissa is not only highly professional and experienced in marketing and SEO, but also a genuinely kind and honest person to work with. What really stood out to me was her transparency: if something wasn’t in her scope or schedule, she didn’t hesitate to refer me to someone she personally trusts. That kind of integrity is rare and speaks volumes about her character. If you’re looking for expert advice from someone who truly cares, Melissa is the one to go to!

The amount of clients coming to Night Nannies has increase by about 25-30% in past 4 months since I contacted Melissa and I totally attribute that to her wisdom. We contacted Melissa to help us with updating the look of our website and improve my Google ads reach. Melissa hugely improved our SEO and Laura did something magical with our Google ads, as now most of our clients are coming from Google and far more of them. It was the best money I ever spent and I have been recommending them to my fellow entrepreneurs.

Owner's reply
This review makes my heart sing Anastasia - for both of us! It was a delight to work with your team and please do keep in touch. Melissa
