Hutch Media Group's SEO consulting is led by someone who has worked in SEO since 2010, agency side and in-house, running SEO teams in some of the most competitive niches there are.
You get that experience directly: a clear plan, the work done properly, and results reported in plain English. No account managers, no jargon, and no promises nobody can keep.
Years of running SEO teams means seeing what actually moves results, what only looks busy, and what quietly makes things worse. That is what you are really buying: someone who can tell you the three things that matter now, and the twenty that can wait.
It also means evidence over opinion. Every recommendation starts from your own data, and every piece of work is judged by what it did for your enquiries, not by how impressive the report looks.
Knowing every part of SEO means you don't need a team of specialists, and nothing falls between the gaps.
Making sure search engines can find, read and trust your site: crawling, indexing, speed, structure and the fixes that actually matter.
Showing up when people nearby search for what you do, from Gloucester and Cheltenham to Stroud and the Cotswolds.
Working out what your customers actually search for, then planning pages that answer it better than the ones already ranking.
Clearer titles, stronger pages and sharper copy, so the traffic you get turns into enquiries.
Earning real mentions and links from sites that matter. No bought links and no shortcuts that come back to bite.
A plain-English view of what moved and why, and what to do next. You always know where you stand.
Four steps, with you told what is happening at each one.
We look at your site, your data and your competitors to find where the real opportunity is, and what is holding you back.
A short, prioritised plan: what to do first, what it should achieve and how we will measure it. You see what is worth doing and what isn't.
We do the work, or guide you or your web person through it, whichever suits you. Either way it gets done properly.
Regular, honest reporting on what changed. If something isn't working, you will hear it from us first.
Chris Hutchings, who leads the SEO work, has worked in SEO since 2010: agency side, in-house, and on projects of his own. That has included some of the most competitive niches in search, and success in them.
Insurance, finance, travel, e-commerce, recruitment and retail.
That range is why it's quick to tell what will and won't work for your business, and why advice is based on evidence rather than what the industry assumes. Ask about relevant past results in your first conversation and you'll get straight answers. See the full background on LinkedIn.
Guaranteed page-one rankings, because nobody controls Google. Bulk link packages. A 200-line audit with no order of priority. Monthly work that doesn't need doing. If something isn't worth your money, you will be told.
People now find businesses in two ways: by searching, and by asking AI. The two overlap heavily, so strong SEO helps with both. You can start with either. SEO gets you found on Google, while our AI search optimisation shows you what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity say about you. And if you want to know where AI could save your business time, that's our AI consulting.
Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tewkesbury, the Forest of Dean and everywhere in between. Local trades and professional services, hospitality and retail, and any business that depends on being found when someone searches. See everything on our services page, or read our guides.
An SEO consultant works out why your website ranks where it does, plans what will improve it, and either does the work or guides the people who will. With Hutch Media Group that covers technical fixes, local SEO, content, links and reporting, led by someone who has worked in SEO since 2010 and has run SEO teams.
We look at how your site is performing in search, check the technical basics and your Google Business Profile, and see how you compare with the businesses ranking above you. You get a short, plain-English summary of what we found and what we would fix first. There is no obligation to do anything with it.
Cost varies a lot depending on your business, your competition and what is involved, so the first step is the free health check and a chat to establish what, if anything, needs doing.
It usually takes months rather than weeks, and it depends on how competitive your market is and where your site starts. Anyone promising instant results is guessing. We set out what to expect after the health check and report on progress as we go.
No. Nobody outside Google controls rankings, and anyone who guarantees them is selling you something. What we can do is find the biggest opportunities, fix what is holding you back and show you what changed.
Not always. Many sites can be improved as they are. If the website itself is the problem, for example because it is slow, hard to update or built in a way search engines struggle with, we will say so, and we can build a better one.
Yes. For most Gloucestershire businesses, local SEO and a properly set up Google Business Profile are among the most important parts of being found.
No. Google says the best practices for SEO remain relevant for its AI features, and that no special optimisation is needed beyond them. What has changed is that it is now worth checking what AI assistants say about your business too, which is what our AI search optimisation does.
Ask for your free SEO health check and we'll tell you honestly where you stand.
No jargon, no pressure.
