About me

9+ Years in SEO • Local and International Projects

Alena Penkova - Freelance SEO Specialist

I manage SEO projects from audit and strategy through implementation and performance analysis.

I work with business websites across different industries, from local businesses to international projects. My focus is on improving search visibility and attracting qualified organic traffic from Google.

My work covers technical SEO audits, competitor and search demand analysis, keyword research, site structure, landing pages, content optimization, internal linking, and link building.

At the start of each project, I identify what is limiting growth, set priorities, and build a clear SEO roadmap. Decisions are based on search visibility, demand, competitors, and the current condition of the website.

What matters to me: not the number of completed SEO tasks, but the impact of changes on search visibility, organic traffic, and business performance.

I work directly with clients, explain what is being changed and why, set clear priorities, and report results using the metrics that matter.

SEO PROCESS

1: SEO AUDIT AND DATA REVIEW

📅 Duration: 1-2 weeks

I start by reviewing the website's current SEO condition using analytics, search data, and crawling tools. This helps identify technical issues, indexation problems, weak pages, and the first priorities for organic growth.

  • Reviewing Google Search Console and analytics data
  • Crawling the website with SEO audit tools
  • Checking indexation, crawlability, redirects, canonicals, and sitemap.xml
  • Reviewing metadata, headings, internal links, and duplicate pages
  • Identifying technical issues that may block organic growth
  • Preparing a prioritized SEO audit summary

2: COMPETITOR AND KEYWORD RESEARCH

📅 Duration: 2-4 weeks

At this stage, I research competitors, search demand, and keyword opportunities. The goal is to understand what users search for, which pages competitors use, and what content or landing pages the website needs.

  • Analyzing organic competitors in the target market
  • Collecting relevant search queries
  • Grouping keywords by topic, intent, and page type
  • Reviewing competitor page structure and content depth
  • Finding missing commercial and informational pages
  • Building a keyword map for future optimization

3: TECHNICAL SEO AND SITE STRUCTURE

📅 Duration: 1-2 months

After the audit and keyword research, I prepare technical and structural recommendations. This includes improving the site architecture, fixing technical issues, and making pages easier for search engines and users to understand.

  • Improving site architecture and URL structure
  • Fixing indexation, canonical, redirect, and duplicate page issues
  • Improving internal linking logic
  • Optimizing title tags, meta descriptions, H1, and H2-H3 structure
  • Reviewing page speed, mobile usability, and technical health
  • Preparing implementation-ready tasks for developers or editors

4: CONTENT AND ON-PAGE OPTIMIZATION

📅 Duration: 2-3 months

At this stage, key pages are improved to match search intent, answer user questions, and support conversions. I work with page structure, metadata, headings, internal links, trust elements, and content recommendations.

  • Optimizing service, category, and landing pages
  • Improving metadata, headings, and page copy
  • Preparing SEO content briefs for new or updated pages
  • Adding FAQ blocks and supporting content where useful
  • Improving trust signals, offer clarity, and conversion elements
  • Connecting related pages through internal linking

5: LINK BUILDING AND AUTHORITY GROWTH

📅 Duration: ongoing after basic optimization

When the website has a stronger technical and content foundation, I review external signals and prepare a safe link-building strategy. This may include competitor backlink analysis, outreach, brand mentions, and paid link placements on relevant websites after donor quality review.

  • Analyzing the current backlink profile
  • Reviewing competitor backlinks and authority gaps
  • Selecting relevant donor websites and placement opportunities
  • Checking donor quality, traffic, relevance, and spam risks
  • Preparing anchor text recommendations
  • Managing outreach or paid link placements when appropriate
  • Monitoring new backlinks and external growth dynamics

6: TRACKING, REPORTING, AND GROWTH

📅 Duration: monthly

SEO is monitored continuously. I track rankings, organic traffic, indexed pages, technical issues, content performance, and completed tasks. Based on the data, the SEO roadmap is updated each month.

  • Tracking rankings for priority keywords
  • Monitoring organic traffic and search visibility
  • Reviewing Google Search Console and analytics data
  • Checking indexing and technical issues after implementation
  • Measuring page and content performance
  • Preparing monthly reports and next-step priorities

SEO Services FAQ

How much do SEO services cost?

The cost depends on the website size, niche, competition level, technical condition, content needs, and the amount of implementation support required. After a quick review, I can suggest a realistic SEO scope and budget.

What is included in an SEO audit?

An SEO audit usually includes technical checks, indexation review, page structure analysis, metadata review, content quality assessment, internal linking analysis, and competitor comparison.

When can I expect SEO results?

Initial improvements may appear within a few months, especially after technical fixes and on-page updates. Stable SEO growth usually takes longer because it depends on competition, content quality, site authority, and implementation speed.

Can you guarantee top Google rankings?

No honest SEO consultant can guarantee exact rankings. Search results depend on Google algorithms, competitors, website quality, content relevance, and many external factors. What I can provide is a clear SEO process, transparent priorities, and measurable work.

Do you work with international websites?

Yes. I can work with service websites, content projects, e-commerce websites, and international sites that need technical SEO, keyword research, content optimization, or organic growth strategy.

What access do you need to start?

For a proper review, I may need access to Google Search Console, analytics data, the CMS, sitemap, robots.txt, and other technical information. The exact list depends on the website and project goals.

Do you write SEO content?

I can prepare SEO content briefs, page structures, metadata, keyword maps, and content recommendations. Full content writing can be included or handled separately depending on the project scope.

How is working with a freelance SEO consultant different from an agency?

With a freelance SEO consultant, you work directly with the person responsible for the strategy, audit, priorities, and recommendations. This usually makes communication faster and keeps the process more focused.

Do you use AI in SEO work?

Yes, I use AI-assisted workflows for research, clustering, brief preparation, metadata drafts, and task documentation. Final decisions, strategy, and quality checks are reviewed manually.

Can you help if my website has technical SEO issues?

Yes. I can review crawlability, indexation, redirects, canonical tags, page speed, mobile usability, duplicate pages, metadata, internal linking, and other technical issues that may limit organic growth.
