MEET CRISTIAN

Not your average SEO guy. Not your average story.

I help high-trust service businesses and time-poor founders grow with strategy-first SEO that actually works – because I care more about people than pageviews.

How I Got Here – and Why I Built Cristian Creates

I didn’t come into SEO through a course, an agency, or by chasing trends. It started with curiosity – testing what actually worked, writing content myself, and spotting patterns most people missed.

Early on, I saw how SEO was being packaged: recycled strategies, outsourced work, and too many people chasing rankings with no real plan for what happened after the click. I knew there had to be a better way.

So I built Cristian Creates around what I felt was missing in the industry – a human, strategic, and hands-on approach that’s focused on real results, not just reports.

I work with local service businesses and time-poor founders who need someone they can trust to just handle it – not throw more dashboards at them.

If you want a partner who actually gives a sh*t and doesn’t disappear after the pitch deck, that’s what Cristian Creates is all about.

How I Work (And Why It’s Different)

Proven Solutions for Real Business Growth

You won’t get a templated strategy. You won’t get passed to a junior. And you definitely won’t get SEO fluff just to hit a deliverable.

When we work together, it’s me doing the thinking, the writing, the optimising – not some outsourced team. I stay lean and focused so I can give your business the attention it deserves.

What That Looks Like:

One-on-One Strategy – no middlemen, no miscommunication.

Empathy-Driven Keyword Targeting – based on how people actually search.

Local SEO That Prioritises Conversions – not just clicks.

Flexible Support That Fits Around Your Workflow – not the other way around.

THE RIGHT FIT GETS THE BEST RESULTS

Who I Work With

This isn’t for everyone – and that’s the point.

I do my best work with clients who treat growth seriously, value expertise, and want a partner, not a task rabbit. If that’s you, we’ll get on just fine.

I work best with:

• Local service businesses that sell high-trust, high-ticket offers – like legal, trades, wellness, or consulting.

• Founders and marketers who already understand the value of SEO.

• People who want results without micromanaging or chasing “hacks”

Not a fit if:

• You’re looking for “cheap and fast” instead of strategic and sustainable.

• You want to outsource and never think about it again.

• You just want to add a blog and hope it works.

A Few Things Beyond the Work

What I’m Into When I’m Not in SEO Mode

Music’s always been in the mix.

I play bass (even had a band back in the day) and still mess about when I get the chance. Funk, soul, and house are my go-tos – proper feel-good stuff that helps me switch off.

Good coffee is part of the process.

Before deep work starts, there’s a pause – a proper brew, a blank stare, and a moment to let the brain warm up. Is it a ritual? Maybe. Does it work? Always.

Bit of fresh air goes a long way.

Whether it’s a walk, a quiet pub garden, or a day out with my partner, I find stepping away from the screen keeps me level – and the ideas usually come when I’m not forcing them.

I believe good work shouldn’t feel rushed.

I’m not the type to cram in five calls a day or fire off copy for the sake of it. I’d rather take the time to do it properly – the way you would with your own trade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only work with local businesses?

No – I work with service-based businesses that serve local clients, no matter where they’re based. You can be in London, Los Angeles, or Lisbon – what matters is your audience is local.

Do you offer once-off projects or ongoing support?

Both! Some clients bring me in for one-off audits or re-optimisation sprints, while others choose long-term retainers for continuous growth. We’ll tailor it to your needs.

I’m not super technical – is that a problem?

Not at all. I simplify the complex so you don’t have to speak SEO to make good decisions. You’ll always know what’s happening, why, and what it means for your business.

What’s the difference between GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and traditional SEO?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) uses smart tools and AI to scale content without losing quality. It’s faster, leaner, and tailored to your actual users – not just keywords.

Do you build websites too?

I collaborate with Kaja Does Design to deliver clean, high-converting one-pagers – either custom or rented. You don’t need to worry about design or tech setup. It’s handled.

Can I just get a one-off audit?

Yes – you can start with a free video audit. From there, I’ll let you know what’s worth fixing, what’s not, and how I can help.

Can you guarantee results?

No one can guarantee SEO results – and if they do, be cautious. What I can promise is a smart, ethical, and audience-first strategy that’s aligned with your goals and designed to create long-term, meaningful growth.

How much does it cost?

Every project is tailored, but I don’t compete on price – I focus on ROI and charge based on deliverables, not time.

That means you’re paying for clear, defined outcomes – like a site audit, a lead-generation setup, or ongoing Google Business Profile management – not how long it takes me to complete them.

This way, you:
– Know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs.
– Don’t have to worry about hourly overages or vague time logs.
– Get my full focus on doing the work well – not tracking the clock.

If you’re looking for “cheap and fast,” we’re not the right fit. If you want results, let’s talk.

**Ready to grow with someone who gives a sh*t?**

If you’re looking for SEO that’s grounded in strategy, lead-gen that doesn’t feel pushy, or a partner who understands the bigger picture – I’d love to help.

Together, we’ll create something that not only gets results, but feels right for your brand.
