A slow organic decline that started weeks before a named core update is usually decaying pages, stronger competitors, or demand. Overlay Search Status Dashboard dates before rewriting the site.
A clicks cliff in Search Console is not proof the whole domain was hit. Compare periods, sort Pages by clicks lost, and see whether a handful of URLs explain the drop.
When two of your pages fight over one query, Google keeps swapping which ranks and neither climbs. Here is how to confirm keyword cannibalization in Search Console and decide what to change.
When a site lets its internal search results get indexed, Google fills with thin, near-duplicate URLs. Here is how to find those pages, block them without a robots.txt mistake, and confirm they clear.

Paginated WordPress archives get flagged as duplicates when a plugin canonicalizes every page back to page one. Here is how to spot the pattern and correct it without hiding older posts.
Straight answers
You work with me, not a rotating cast. I audit, build, and train your team. Agencies often keep control and charge forever to run what you could own in-house.
Honestly, you need enough marketing activity to make fixes worthwhile. Still very early stage? A course or specialist vendor may fit better. Already running a full in-house team? You probably want a full-time CMO, not me part-time.
Yes: logistics, real estate, pro services, SaaS, local trades. Places where online leads hit the P&L fast. I skip healthcare and finance; compliance slows the work down.
Engagements start with a two-week audit of analytics, ads, SEO, and CRM. Then a 90-day plan focused on attribution, conversion, and what's leaking spend. Hands-on build and training along the way; at the end your team runs it.
If revenue is growing faster than you can hire marketing, fractional support fills the gap. Interim CMO work until you're ready for a full-time exec. Hiring help is available when you get there.
You keep logins, docs, and dashboards. Engagements are built so your team can maintain and troubleshoot. Some clients book a quarterly check-in; that's optional.
