You already have an in-house SEO team or an SEO agency executing. What you're missing is the layer of judgment that ties every positioning decision to the business.
SEO consultations signed · last 24 months
SEO migrations accompanied
Signed by Elevam
To solve a specific decision. Duration 2 to 4 weeks, closed price, signed deliverable. Typical cases: validate your current agency's SEO plan, design a web migration, plan SEO strategy when entering a new market, recover traffic after a Google core update, integrate GEO into your existing strategy.
For ongoing accompaniment over your in-house SEO team or your agency. Monthly retainer model, 6-month minimum commitment. How it works: 60-minute weekly meeting, permanent access via Slack or email, monthly review of real pipeline KPIs, quarterly strategy validation.
Elevam's SEO consulting is senior strategic advice for companies with an in-house SEO team, a contracted SEO agency, or both. We bring judgment on technical SEO, content, link building, and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). We don't execute.
There's a point in the life of every company with mature SEO when the problem stops being doing more things. The problem becomes deciding well on the few things that matter. Three typical signs you need a senior SEO consultant.
CREF© —Consultoría de Crecimiento Elevam Framework— is the system with which we structure any SEO consultation. The difference from a generic SEO consultation is that we don't deliver opinions on keywords and traffic. We deliver judgment tied to your P&L.
Before talking about SEO we understand your model. Margin, average ticket, current CAC, sales cycle, real ICP. Without that base, any advice from an SEO consultant is opinion without context.
Focal analysis on the decision or problem that motivates the consultation. Not a full audit: surgical analysis of the point that matters. We cross Search Console, Ahrefs, Semrush, and the prompts matrix in LLMs when applicable.
Clear recommendation, no «it depends» phrases. Signed by Lidia. If our recommendation is wrong, you know who to hold accountable. You won't find this in a low-cost SEO consultation.
We work shoulder to shoulder with your SEO team or your agency during execution. We don't disappear after delivering the report. We resolve doubts, adjust the plan, validate milestones.

Every SEO consultation we open is handled by Lidia. You work directly with her from the first call to project close.
No junior profiles interpreting your business.
The last client I closed was coming from paying two years to an agency with no attributed pipeline. We did 14 hours of consulting with them. They renegotiated scope with their agency and multiplied opportunities by four in 5 months. That's what consulting done well is for.
Three situations where we don't fit.
consulting without execution is a report without use. If you don't have an SEO team or SEO agency working, hire a full SEO service first. Consulting goes on top of execution, not in its place.
for that format there are freelance SEO consultants at €80-150/hour. We don't operate by loose hours, but by closed projects or ongoing retainer.
if you've already decided to change agencies, do a migration, or enter a new market and only want someone to tell you the decision is correct, we'll contradict you more than you expect.
No confusing packages. No hidden variables. Two modalities, two closed prices.
If you start with standalone consulting and then decide to move to retainer, we discount the full standalone amount from the first retainer month.
Small companies needing standalone advice at competitive prices. — Main risk: One person as point of failure. No support team or real continuity.
The Spanish market offers three clear ranges. Senior freelance SEO consultant: €60 to €150/hour. Generalist agency SEO consulting: €1,000 to €3,000 per standalone project. Strategic SEO consulting for mid-sized companies: from €3,000 per standalone project or from €2,500/month in ongoing retainer. Below €60/hour you're hiring cheap execution, not senior SEO consultant judgment.
An SEO audit delivers a complete and productised diagnosis of your organic positioning, with closed scope and actionable plan. An SEO consultation delivers strategic judgment on a specific decision or ongoing accompaniment in your SEO strategy. The first is diagnosis. The second is accompaniment. Many companies hire an audit first and then consulting on the findings.
An SEO consultant brings strategic judgment, not execution. An SEO agency executes the plan: content, link building, technical optimisation. Companies with an in-house SEO team or already contracted agency usually need a senior SEO consultant to add strategic layer over what's already executed. Companies without execution capacity need a full SEO agency, not a consultant.
Four typical moments. One: your SEO agency or in-house team has been working for a while without generating real pipeline. Two: you're about to make a big SEO decision (web migration, internationalisation, CMS change, integration with generative AI). Three: you need a qualified second opinion before renewing contract with your SEO agency. Four: you want to incorporate GEO into your strategy and don't know where to start.
Yes, from the first moment. Every SEO consultation we open includes judgment on GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): how your company appears in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, which pages are citable, how to build Share of Answer in LLMs. Considering SEO without generative AI is half-working.
Yes, it's one of the most requested formats. We act as the strategic SEO consultant for your company and work in constructive collaboration with the executing agency. We don't compete with them: we bring external judgment and report to your management, not to the agency.
Elevam's SEO consultations are signed directly by Lidia Moreno, head of SEO and GEO. We don't assign junior profiles with a «consultant» label. The judgment you pay for is the real area lead's.
Between 2 and 4 weeks depending on complexity. An agency-validation SEO consultation typically closes in 2 weeks. A web migration SEO consultation usually needs 3 weeks. A strategic SEO consultation for entering a new market or launching a business line can reach 4 weeks.
Tell us briefly what SEO decision you need to solve or what situation you want to review with external judgment. Lidia replies personally within 48 hours with the first assessment and the modality that best fits.
