Magento Consultant UK - Development, SEO, Google Ads & Migration Under One Roof

I help UK eCommerce brands get more from Magento 2 by fixing performance issues, unlocking organic growth, and managing complex migrations without losing rankings or revenue.

What Does a Magento Consultant Do ?

A Magento consultant helps UK eCommerce brands unlock the full potential of one of the most powerful and complex platforms available. Whether you’re running Magento 2 Open Source or Adobe Commerce, the platform demands senior expertise to perform at its best. From custom module development and third-party integrations to SEO architecture, server configuration and performance optimisation, a Magento consultant brings the depth of knowledge that generalist developers simply don’t have.

I’ve worked as a Magento consultant for UK brands across manufacturing, wholesale, health, fashion and B2B building complex catalogues from scratch, rescuing slow and broken Magento stores, managing Magento 1 to Magento 2 migrations, and growing organic traffic on stores with thousands of SKU’s. If your Magento store is under performing — on speed, rankings or revenue — I can tell you exactly why and exactly needs to be fixed.

Services I Offer

Magento 2 Development & Custom Builds : Bespoke Magento 2 builds designed around your catalogue complexity, B2B requirements and brand. Built for performance and maintainability from day one not patched together over time.
Magento Speed & Performance Optimisation : Magento stores are notorious for being slow. I audit and fix full page cache configuration, Varnish setup, image optimisation, JavaScript bundling and server-level performance turning red Core Web Vitals scores green.
Magento SEO : Magento’s architecture creates unique SEO challenges — duplicate content from layered navigation, crawl budget waste, flat vs nested URL structures, canonical tag issues. I’ve solved all of these across large UK catalogues and know exactly where Magento stores lose rankings.
Magento to Shopify Migration : Not every brand needs to stay on Magento. If your business has simplified and Magento’s complexity is costing more than it’s delivering, I’ll give you an honest assessment and manage the migration to Shopify if it’s the right move.
Magento Support & Maintenance Retainers : Ongoing monthly support covering security patches, extension updates, performance monitoring, bug fixes and priority development. Your store stays fast, secure and compliant without you managing it.

Who I work with

You’re in the right place if:

You’re a UK brand running Magento 2 or Adobe Commerce and need senior technical expertise
Your Magento store is slow, breaking under traffic, or haemorrhaging organic rankings
You’re still on Magento 1 and need a clear migration plan before it becomes a crisis
You’ve had bad experiences with Magento agencies — junior developers, missed deadlines, unexplained bills
You need someone who understands both the technical side and the commercial impact on revenue
You’re a £1M–£20M UK eCommerce brand that has outgrown basic support but doesn’t want a large agency
You want one senior consultant who owns the outcome — not a project manager passing work to offshore teams

Why Hire Me vs a Magento Agency

What makes working with an independent Magento consultant different:

Senior expertise on every task: No junior developers learning on your Magento store. Every decision is made with 12 years of platform knowledge behind it.
Dev + SEO + Ads in one person: Magento agencies typically split development and marketing into separate teams with separate briefs. Your store gets built with search performance and conversion in mind from the start.
Honest platform advice: If Shopify is genuinely better for your business right now, I’ll tell you. Most Magento agencies won’t because their revenue depends on keeping you on Magento.
Fixed scope, transparent pricing: Magento agencies are notorious for scope creep and surprise invoices. I work with agreed scope and fixed pricing so you always know what you’re paying.
Direct communication: You speak to me on every call and every email not an account manager who relays messages to a developer you’ve never met.
UK timezone availability: Full availability during UK business hours. No delays waiting for overseas teams to start their day.

My Process — How We Work Together

Step 1. Free Magento Audit Call (30 mins)
Before anything else I want to understand your store, your team’s technical capability, your biggest frustrations and your commercial goals. No pitch, just an honest conversation about whether and how I can help.

Step 2. Technical Audit & Proposal
I review your Magento installation in detail server configuration, extension conflicts, SEO architecture, Core Web Vitals, security patches, and revenue leaks. You receive a written audit with prioritised recommendations and a fixed-price proposal.

Step 3. Development & Execution
Work begins against an agreed scope and timeline. You get a shared project board, regular updates and direct access to me throughout. No surprises.

Step 4. Launch, Handover & Ongoing Support
Every project includes a thorough launch checklist, post-launch monitoring period and full handover documentation. Optional ongoing retainer for continued support, SEO and paid media management.

FAQ's

Yes, for the right business. Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce remain the strongest platforms for complex eCommerce requirements: large catalogues, B2B functionality, multi-store setups, deep ERP integrations and custom business logic. If your operation genuinely needs that complexity, Magento is worth every penny. If it doesn't, the maintenance overhead may not be justified and a platform like Shopify could serve you better at lower cost.

Magento 2 Open Source is the free, community-supported version of the platform. Adobe Commerce (formerly Magento Commerce) is the paid enterprise edition with additional features including advanced B2B functionality, customer segmentation, content staging, business intelligence dashboards and dedicated Adobe support. Adobe Commerce is typically suited to UK brands doing £5M+ in revenue who need those enterprise-grade features and can justify the licence cost.

A full Magento 2 custom build typically takes 3-4 weeks depending on catalogue size, custom requirements and integrations. A Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration is usually 2-3 weeks. A Magento to Shopify migration typically runs 3-4 weeks. All timelines are agreed upfront in the project proposal - I don't start work without a clear scope and schedule in place.

Magento speed issues almost always come from one or more of the same root causes: full page cache not configured correctly, Varnish not enabled or misconfigured, too many third-party extensions conflicting, un-optimised images, JavaScript not bundled or deferred, and inadequate server resources for the store's traffic level. I run a full technical audit to identify exactly which issues apply to your store and fix them in priority order - most stores see significant load time improvements within the first two weeks of optimization work.

Yes. I offer monthly Magento support and maintenance retainers covering security patch management, extension updates, performance monitoring, bug fixing and priority development requests. Many clients also continue with SEO and Google Ads management after their initial project - keeping the store growing rather than just launching and standing still.

Absolutely. I often work alongside internal development teams or existing agencies in a consultancy capacity - providing technical direction, SEO strategy, performance auditing and commercial guidance that complements hands-on development. If you have developers but need senior strategic oversight, that's a common and effective engagement model.
