About

Meet Arianna, Your Independent SEO Consultant

Arianna Ren working at a desk with Google Search Console on the main monitor and the Search Orchard website open on a laptop.

I've worked across SEO, website development and international business, with over six years of experience in branding and digital marketing. My projects have included building B2B websites and developing search strategies for businesses targeting international markets.

I also have a technical background in large language models (LLMs) and natural language processing (NLP), covering the foundations of semantic search, vector representations and retrieval-augmented generation. Buyers now start their research in AI answers as often as in search results. Earning a place there takes new foundations, built on top of traditional SEO rather than in place of it.

What SEO and web design services does Search Orchard offer?

Every engagement starts with a look at where your website is now and what you need it to achieve. The work falls into six services, which can be used on their own or combined:

  • Full-stack SEO Consulting: ongoing strategy and hands-on work, from technical fixes and site structure to page optimisation and content, with regular reporting.
  • SEO Audit: a one-off, hand-checked review of what's holding your site back, with a ranked list of fixes your team or developer can act on.
  • International SEO: site structure, language versions and keyword research for each market you sell into, so buyers abroad find the right pages.
  • Local SEO: your Google Business Profile, local pages and reviews, for businesses that win customers in a specific area.
  • AI SEO & GEO: repeatable tests of how ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers describe your business, then work on the gaps that matter.
  • Web Design & Development: a new website planned around how your customers search, with the copy and technical SEO done before launch.

Redesigns and website migrations are planned separately, after I've looked at your current site. You can compare everything on the Services page.

What SEO challenges are you likely to face?

Trusting a new SEO consultant after a bad experience. I understand how frustrating it is when previous SEO work didn't deliver. Many of my clients come to me after disappointing experiences. I start with a detailed review of your site and what was done before, so we know what went wrong and what is still worth keeping. From there, the work is built for long-term growth rather than quick fixes, and I keep you informed at every step, so you always know what's happening and why. I'm always a phone call away.

Cutting the SEO budget once you rank. It's easy to think SEO is finished once your pages reach the top. In reality, rankings need looking after: search engines change, competitors keep publishing and your customers' questions shift. Ongoing work keeps your content up to date, earns authority backlinks from relevant sites, strengthens the pages that bring in enquiries and catches drops before they cost you business.

Keeping up with algorithm and AI changes. Google updates its algorithm several times a year, and AI answers are changing how people search. An update can move rankings overnight, which is unsettling when your enquiries depend on them. I follow these changes closely, check what each one means for your site and adjust the plan before small dips turn into lasting losses.

How much does it cost to work with you?

My prices are public. A one-off SEO Audit is €495 (Essential) or €795 (Comprehensive). Monthly Local SEO and AI SEO start at €690, and SEO Consulting and International SEO start at €1,490. A new website is €1,200, fixed, for up to 10 pages. All prices exclude VAT. Monthly services have a first term of three months, then continue month to month with 30 days' notice. Everything is listed on the Pricing page.

How long does SEO take to show results?

It depends on your starting point, your market and how competitive your searches are. Technical fixes can show up within weeks; competitive rankings and a steady rise in enquiries usually take several months. Nobody can honestly guarantee a ranking, so we agree what to measure at the start and I report against it.

What is AI SEO, and do I need it as well as SEO?

AI SEO, also called GEO or AEO, is about how your business appears in answers from tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. It doesn't replace SEO: those tools rely on pages they can find, read and trust, so most of the groundwork is the same. What it adds is measuring what AI answers actually say about you and which sources they cite. If your buyers research that way, it's worth checking. If your SEO foundations are weak, those come first.

Can you redesign or move my website without losing rankings?

A redesign, platform change or domain move is when rankings are most often lost, usually through missing redirects or pages that quietly disappear. I plan it with you: mapping old URLs to new ones, keeping the pages that bring in traffic and checking the site before and after launch. No one can promise zero movement, but careful planning keeps the risk low. I quote this separately after looking at your current site.

Do you work with businesses outside Italy?

Yes. I'm based in Turin and work with businesses across Europe, the UK and the US. Most projects run remotely through video calls, email and shared documents, and I can arrange an on-site visit when meeting in person would help. I carry out SEO research in English, Italian, Chinese and Japanese.
