How SEO usually gets sold
Few words or terms in digital marketing are as worn out as “SEO” and “search engine positioning”. A good part of what gets sold under that name in Chile starts by promising “guaranteed first page in 30 days” and ends up reporting back with reports that don’t talk about your business, like an authority score presented as if it were the result. And often none of that ends up showing in your revenue. Meanwhile the site keeps its basic problems intact, pages of yours fighting each other for the same search (cannibalization), sections that Google doesn’t manage to read, product pages without the information Google needs to show you with price and stock.
What does work moves more slowly but can be checked: technical fixes whose effect is recorded in your Search Console, pages written for what people actually search for instead of being stuffed with the same word over and over, and authority that’s earned little by little instead of a link package that Google ends up penalizing. Basically, optimizing for the REAL conversion that matters for your business and not just nice-looking figures in charts.
Who you work with if you choose an SEO consultant
With me, Francisco Moroso. There’s no agency behind me. When you hire an SEO expert you’re ultimately hiring a person, and in this case that person is the one who reviews your Search Console, decides what gets touched first and then writes the change. I’m based in Chile and work remotely with clients in Chile and abroad. You won’t have an account executive passing you messages in the middle or an account that gets rotated among juniors the day a bigger client comes in.
That has consequences, and not all of them work in my favor:
- Capacity is limited. I do the work myself and for that very reason I take on few clients at a time. To cover many markets or languages in parallel with a volume that one person can’t handle, an agency will serve you better, and I’ll tell you so if I think that’s what you need.
- Everything stays yours. Access, documents and data stay in your accounts, so if one day you move on with someone else you take everything without asking my permission.
You work with me directly, and who I am and how I work has its own page.
What the SEO service includes
- It starts with a technical audit (my own crawler, 45+ factors): where there is cannibalization, where indexing broke, where the schema is implemented wrong.
- On-page: title and description worked on by search intent, correct canonicals, structured schema (Article, Product, FAQ, Organization, whichever fits).
- Off-page: the backlinks and mentions you already have are reviewed, looking for genuine opportunities.
- Integration with Search Console and the GA4 API to track impressions, clicks and position in your accounts, with specialized tools on top, as is normal in this work.
- Content analysis against the competition: the search intent gaps that were left uncovered.
In an online store, search comes in through the catalog, with categories that have intent and product pages that answer what people ask or show what they need. That base is built from the development of the store itself.
What isn’t included in the work
Google Ads campaigns aren’t included, and neither is volume content without judgment, which leaves you with pages competing with each other. When there are campaigns I do make sure the landing page lives up to the click you are paying for, and that job is the landing page for campaigns.
Redesigning the site and its ongoing maintenance aren’t included either, those are covered by web design and WordPress maintenance, and if the ranking problem turns out to really be a foundation problem I tell you myself from the start.
Now, this is if you’re looking only for the technical SEO service. If what you’re really looking for is a complete job that includes web improvements or development and other layers, of course you can count on me.
If you need the diagnosis without the ongoing execution, that’s a technical SEO audit. And if you want the AI (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s summaries) to cite you, that layer is SEO for AI (GEO).
Real SEO cases with their figures
Gato Arcano, an online store for board games and collectible card games, is the best example. There was a redesign and sustained SEO work (architecture, indexing, product pages, constant follow-up in Search Console) and organic clicks from Google ended up multiplying by 20 over the 2021-2024 engagement, while impressions grew more than 30 times. The site also stopped depending almost entirely on its own brand and started ranking for generic, competitive terms in its industry that bring customers who didn’t know it yet. Even almost two years after the SEO engagement ended, organic traffic holds and has kept growing.
Verdecorp is the other one, a circular economy agricultural soil amendments company that in six months tripled its organic sessions and took its main keyword from position 76 to first place on Google, and it has stayed at the top since then.
The technical layer is also part of SEO work. On 2eme, a home inspection site, mobile PageSpeed went from 45 to 94 as the site average. That front has its own page, WordPress speed optimization.
Every figure above is on its case page with the source and the period.
SEO consultant or SEO agency?
The consultant pays off when your operation fits in one market and one language, the agency when you need sustained volume across several countries or languages. Before hiring SEO consulting, the comparison table and the fine print on each side are in how to hire an SEO consultant, with the questions for the first meeting (in Spanish).
How I do it
- 01
Diagnosis
I audit the technical side with my own crawler (45+ factors), some specialized tools, and if you share your Search Console with me I prioritize by what's already bringing you real impressions.
- 02
Execution
Technical fixes, on-page work by real search intent, content that fills the gaps that exist and genuine authority, in sprints that can be verified as we go.
- 03
Follow-up
I measure impressions, clicks and position in Search Console and keep adjusting according to what actually makes an impact.
What you get
- A roadmap prioritized by impact against effort that can be executed in sprints, instead of a list of 200 findings with no order among them. The idea is always to look for what's most effective at getting real results.
- Measurable movement in Search Console (impressions, clicks, position) instead of reports on metrics that look nice but aren't really useful, like Domain Authority. And if it applies and you have it set up properly, conversions too.
- Content and architecture that respond to the real search intent your customer has.
- Working directly with me, the person who executes the SEO, with nobody else in the middle of the process.
How much does an SEO consultant cost?
It depends on several things I can't know without looking at the site: the state it is in and how competitive your industry is are the two that weigh the most, and personally I don't have a list price because I like to analyze projects properly before anything else. And while I'm at it, something from the other side: the cheap SEO built on buying link packages ends up being expensive, because Google penalizes that sooner or later and then the damage has to be undone. Back to price: in the free 30-minute diagnosis I review your site live and if you share your Search Console with me I cross it with your real data, and then I give you an estimate and the lever I would pull first, before you commit to anything.
Should I hire a consultant or an SEO agency?
For most companies working directly with the person who does the SEO is better: you talk to me and not to an account executive passing on messages. Your account also doesn't get rotated among juniors. A large agency makes sense if you operate in many markets or languages at once, with a volume that one person alone can't cover, or if you want a much more complete job (assuming the agency has that profile) that covers many more areas of marketing than just SEO, areas like SEM, email marketing, etc. If that's your case I tell you straight, and if it isn't, working directly gets you more for what you pay.
How long does it take to see results?
Real timelines are longer than the ones usually promised, and being given long timelines is precisely the sign that someone is being straight with you. Technical fixes start to move within weeks. Content and authority, on the other hand, are built over months. What I do give you at each step is measurable progress in Search Console, not an 'almost there'.
Do you do local SEO (Google Maps)?
Not as a service, for now. What I do is the SEO of the site itself: the technical side, the content and the measurement in your Search Console. The Google Business profile, one listing per branch and the flow for asking for genuine reviews are a different job. If the diagnosis shows that's what would help your business most, I'll tell you, so you can take it to someone who focuses on that.
