Alex Moss: UK SEO Consultant & Web Designer based in Manchester
a small introduction...
Hi there, I'm Alex Moss and I'm an SEO specialist and consultant working in Manchester. I currently work in-house for Carcraft as the SEO Manager. My role includes page optimisation, conversion rate optimisation, social media strategies and link building.I can work freelance as an SEO Consultant or web designer as well as offering other services such as web hosting and domain name registration.
I have been working with web sites for over 10 years, ever since I bought and built my first PC in 1997. I started messing around with HTML at 14 back when Compuserve and Xoom were around; and taught myself PHP and MySQL a year or two later.
Whilst studying Law and I.T. at Leeds Metropolitan University, I built web sites for small businesses on a freelance basis. After graduating, I worked for a small time in television production, where my highlights included having dinner on a bus with Krishnan Guru-Murthy and driving Antonio Carluccio to and from an abattoir where we watched cow's blood spill over a wall.
Whilst living the glam lifestyle, I started studying SEO and have now been working in the industry for 2 years.
I want to read more because I'm nosey....
I Do SEO, Web Design and other Stuff...
SEO: Search Engine Optimisation
SEO is really a larger job than one usually thinks. SEO projects can range from one person consulting a business on SEO, to a whole team of people either working in an office or contracted from an agency. SEO emcompasses a lot of tasks, from on-site and on-page optimisation to linkbuilding and social media planning.
My work is white hat, meaning that I use ethical means in order to create an SEO strategy. A successful SEO campaign not only increases traffic but can also increase sales and conversion rates. I also provide bespoke SEO Guides so that you can maintain your own SEO projects yourself. The SEO Guide will not make you #1 for the really competitive keywords, but can really help you start the beginnings of what can be a popular web site.

Web Design
Although I work full time, I dabble in freelance web design. I use something called a CMS (Content Management System), which makes it easy for you to create and update content within your web site without having to know the ins and outs of web design. which
I design all my clients' sites in PHP, MySQL, and use Smarty Tags. I also use my knowledge of HTML and CSS to make sure that all web pages are loaded in the fastest times possible.

CRO: Conversion Rate Optimisation
Conversion Rate Optimisation is on the up and up in 2010. CRO is the art of increasing sales through your web site by making changes in the design and running of the site to make it the best possible experience for your visitors.
CRO is done by analysing how your visitors interact with your site and how they react to certain pages and forms. Once these are analysed, edits can then be made to make your web site better. I use programs such as Google Analytics to analyse and improve your web site.
Please contact me for further information and prices.
Web Hosting
Web Hosting is something that you need in order to store all the “information” of your site.
Although it's possible to buy very cheap web hosting, it is actually very important now to make sure that your site is hosted in the country you're based in and that your host is fast. Google have recently told us that page speed will be something they consider when looking at your site, which means that if you have a bad web host, you won't rank very well.
I offer web hosting with fast page speed and is located in Manchester, UK. Please contact me for further information and prices.
Domain Names
A Domain Name is your identification on the web. Whether it ends in .com or .co.uk, your domain name. I can help you choose the right domain(s) for you and your business.
With a domain name, you can get subdomains (whatever.yourdomain.com) and email addresses for your site. I can then connect this to your web site to ensure that your domain is controlled properly.
