The WordPress SEO consultant who does the work
Most consultants send a list of recommendations and leave you to find someone to do them. I've spent 15 years ranking WordPress sites, and I am the full-stack SEO consultant who does all of the SEO work for you.
The person behind Win The Search
I've run Win The Search since 2021, and I've done SEO since I was 14.
Before going out on my own, I spent five years at Munday Digital. I started there as a junior and left as head of SEO, after working on 20+ campaigns for Australian and global brands and managing the team of SEOs, writers and VAs behind them.
Since then I've checked sites for SEO before buyers paid six and seven figures for them, and co-founded Linkter, an internal linking tool for WordPress.
WordPress is where I'm most at home. Every site I build for myself runs on it, and I like that you own your site outright instead of renting it from a platform.
That's also why I know what themes, page builders, plugins and hosting do to your rankings, and how to change them without breaking your site.
3 ways to hire SEO help, and when each one makes sense
They cost different amounts because you get different things for the money.
When I'm not the right fit
You want guaranteed rankings. Nobody can honestly promise them, and I won't.
You need paid ads, social and email run alongside SEO. An agency covers more channels.
You only have a few hundred dollars a month to spend.
6 questions to ask any WordPress SEO consultant
Ask these on the first call, including on a call with me. The answers tell you most of what you need to know.
Will you make the changes, or send me a list?
“We'll send recommendations for your developer.”
I make them on your site. Bigger changes get tested on a staging copy first, with a backup before anything goes live.
Who will actually do the work?
“Our team.”
Me. There's no junior team behind me, which is why I take on 5 ongoing clients at most.
How will I know it's working?
“Your rankings and traffic are going up.”
Leads and sales from Google get tracked before anything else, so the monthly report shows what the work is worth in money.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
“Yes, page one in 90 days.”
No, and be careful with anyone who does. What I do offer is a 30-day walk-away: if month one isn't worth what you paid, you get it back in full.
How long is the contract?
“12 months minimum.”
There isn't one. It's month-to-month, so you can cancel anytime you want and leave if it's not working out for you.
What happens if we stop working together?
“The content and accounts stay with us.”
Nothing changes hands, because it was always yours: the site, hosting, domain, data and every change I made.
What happens when I run your SEO
The Operator is my ongoing engagement. It starts with tracking, an audit and a plan, and then the work happens on your site every week.
Tracking, an audit and a plan
Leads and sales from Google get tracked first. Then a full audit of your site, rankings and competitors, and a 6-month roadmap of what gets done first and why.
The biggest fixes go live
Broken redirects, pages Google can't index, slow templates and messy structure. Whatever is holding the site back gets fixed first.
Pages that bring in buyers
Your key pages rewritten around what buyers search, plus new pages where you're missing out. This is usually when growth starts to show.
Building on what works
More pages and content, built on what's already bringing in leads. The bigger returns usually come after month 6.
Every week
- A call on what moved last week and what's next
- Fixes, pages and content shipped on your site
- Slack or email all week, with replies within 24 hours
Every month
- A report on what moved, why it moved and what it was worth in leads and sales
- The plan for next month, based on what's working
- Hosting and maintenance handled too, if you'd like me to run your site
What clients say about working with me
Vukasin is the best SEO guy I have ever worked with. He has a very strong understanding of SEO and how it correlates to our business expectations, and hardly needed any guidance on what we wanted done. Highly recommended!
Vuk is one of the sharpest SEO/AEO specialists I've worked with — deeply knowledgeable, always a step ahead on where search is heading, and just a joy to collaborate with. Responsive, easy to talk to, and genuinely fun to work with on any project.
Vuk exceeded expectations with his thorough, data-driven SEO audit. Everyone was very impressed with the quality of Vuk's work, his thoughtfulness and clear expertise. Plus, he's easy to work with, delivers on what he says he's going to deliver, and goes above and beyond.
An amazing SEO consultant whose knowledge goes beyond surface level. He's able to outsmart the thousand SEOs who are just looking at what everyone else is doing.
Vuk provides a really wonderful alternative to larger agencies. The results I got from working with him definitely rival what I've gotten from larger, US-based SEO agencies.
I'm impressed with the work he has put in to help me form my SEO strategy. Knowledgeable about the industry, timely with his work and generous with his advice.

Hiring a WordPress SEO consultant: common questions
Something else on your mind? Ask me on a free call.
Book a free call →What does a WordPress SEO consultant do?
+
Finds what's stopping your WordPress site from ranking and bringing in leads, then fixes it. That covers technical SEO, speed, site structure, content and tracking. Some consultants only advise. I do the advising and the work.
How much does a WordPress SEO consultant cost?
+
Freelancers often charge a few hundred to $1,500 a month, and agencies anywhere up to $20,000+. With me ongoing work starts at $2,500 a month (most engagements land between $3,000 and $6,000), and a new site starts at $3,000. I broke down what's fair in my SEO pricing guide.
Why hire a consultant instead of an agency?
+
You get a senior person doing the work instead of paying for account managers and junior staff. An agency still makes sense if you need ads, social and SEO run together by a big team.
Do you work with clients in the US?
+
Yes. I work from Novi Sad, Serbia with businesses across the US and EU.
Can you work with my developer or in-house team?
+
Yes. I can make the changes myself, work alongside your developer, or lead the strategy while your team ships. Whatever gets the work live fastest.
How soon will I see results?
+
Technical fixes can show up within weeks. Meaningful growth usually takes 3 to 6 months, and the bigger returns come after 6 to 12.
Do you only work on WordPress?
+
WordPress is where I can build, fix and rank a site myself, so that's my focus. If you have a strong in-house team that ships changes fast, I'm open to other platforms.
What's the best way to start?
+
If you're not sure what your site needs, start with a $50 Scan. If you already know you want help, book a free 30-minute call and we'll work out the right fit.
