Get found by clients searching for exactly what you do — with SEO tools built for a business of one.
Whether someone's looking for a freelance designer, a marketing consultant, or a specialist they can hire directly, they're searching Google before they ever see your portfolio. Illumae gives freelancers and solo consultants the same SEO infrastructure larger agencies use — keyword research, technical audits, AI-assisted content, and structured data — at a price built for a business of one. From £40/month per domain, or free to start.
Prospective clients search in specific ways — "freelance brand designer", "marketing consultant for small business", "hire a copywriter". keyword research and rank tracking gives you real search volume and difficulty data for these terms, then tracks your organic Google ranking for each one so you can see what's actually bringing in enquiries.
AI content generation drafts articles from a target keyword — case-study style breakdowns, process explainers, or answers to the questions clients ask before hiring. Every draft runs through a fact-consistency audit before publishing, checking for internal contradictions and unhedged claims about specific figures. What it doesn't do is verify subject-matter accuracy — content about your specific field still needs your own review before it goes live.
A slow-loading portfolio page or a broken link in your contact form can lose you a client who's already comparing a few freelancers. site audit crawls your entire site and returns a health score with a prioritised, page-by-page fix list — flagging broken links, missing meta tags, slow-loading pages, and images without alt text.
backlink checker shows domain authority and spam-risk banding for every backlink pointing to your site — useful for spotting low-quality freelancer directory spam that can build up over time. If you find links worth disavowing, Illumae generates a properly formatted Google disavow file ready to submit through Search Console.
Illumae's Schema Generator produces valid JSON-LD Organization structured data — your name or business name, logo, and social profiles in a machine-readable format. You paste the generated code into your site's page head yourself — Illumae doesn't inject it automatically.
It depends on what you offer, but Illumae's keyword research gives you real search volume and difficulty data to decide with evidence. Useful starting points are role-specific terms ("freelance X"), problem-first searches, and "hire a X" style queries that show someone is close to reaching out.
Not on its own. Illumae's AI content tool runs every draft through a fact-consistency audit that checks for internal contradictions and unhedged claims about specific figures, but it does not independently verify subject-matter accuracy. Content about your specific field of expertise still needs your own review before it goes live — you know your work better than any tool does.
It crawls every page and returns a health score with a prioritised fix list — flagging things like missing meta titles on portfolio pages, broken links in your contact form, images without alt text, and slow-loading pages, which matters when a client is comparing several freelancers' sites side by side.
It's JSON-LD markup that tells search engines your name or business name, logo, and social profiles in a machine-readable format. You paste the output into your site's page head — it's real, mechanical groundwork for how search engines represent you, though it doesn't by itself guarantee ranking.
