About

About StagmanSEO

Organic growth specialist helping businesses grow organic traffic through technical excellence, smart content, and forward-looking strategy.

Who I Am

I'm James Stagman, an organic growth specialist based in the UK. I work directly with business owners, marketing teams, and content publishers to build organic search visibility that translates into real traffic and revenue, not just improved rankings on vanity keywords.

My background spans technical SEO, content strategy, and affiliate publishing. I've worked across industries including travel, e-commerce, SaaS and media, which means I understand the different challenges each sector faces in search rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Working directly with a specialist means no account managers relaying messages, no juniors executing the strategy. You get consistent, expert attention throughout a project.

Specialisms

Technical SEO

Site architecture, crawlability, Core Web Vitals, structured data, indexation. Fixing the foundations that agency checklists miss.

AI Search Optimisation (GEO)

Generative Engine Optimisation: getting your content cited in AI Overviews, ChatGPT answers, and Perplexity summaries.

Content Strategy

Topical authority mapping, content clusters, keyword-driven briefs and long-form content that compounds over time.

Affiliate SEO

Helping affiliate publishers survive and thrive through Google's algorithm updates, with content quality, E-E-A-T, and smart site architecture.

My Approach

  • Data-driven: Decisions are grounded in data: Search Console, crawl analysis, competitor research, and ranking signals. Not gut feel.

  • Transparent: You receive clear reporting on what was done, what moved, and what the next priorities are. No black boxes.

  • No long contracts: Work with me on a project or retainer basis, with clear scope and honest timelines. No 12-month lock-ins with vague deliverables.

  • Long-term thinking: Quick wins matter, but the strategies I recommend are designed to compound over time rather than depend on constant intervention.

Common Questions

Where are you based and do you work with international clients?

Based in the UK and working with clients globally. All work is delivered remotely, which means location is not a constraint for any project.

Do you offer retainer contracts or project-based work?

Both. Some clients engage on an ongoing monthly retainer for continuous SEO support; others hire for specific projects such as a technical audit, a content strategy build, or a GEO implementation. The right structure depends on what you need.

What industries do you have experience in?

Travel, e-commerce, SaaS, media, and affiliate publishing. The underlying SEO principles are consistent across industries, but understanding the specific competitive landscape and content expectations of each sector matters, and that breadth helps.

Do you sign NDAs or confidentiality agreements?

Yes, if required. Many clients prefer to keep the specifics of their SEO strategy confidential and that is a reasonable ask at the start of an engagement.
