About High Impact | SEO Specialist Julian Saunders

Led by Strategy. Backed by Results

I’m Julian Saunders, and I’ve been helping businesses grow through SEO since 2010 and more recently through AI search too, as the landscape evolves.

From ecommerce brands and international companies to niche service businesses and SaaS platforms, I’ve worked across sectors and borders always focused on building organic visibility that leads to real commercial outcomes.

High Impact isn’t a big agency. It’s lean by design, so when you work with me, you’re getting senior-level thinking, direct communication, and work that’s focused on results, not retainers.

Let's Talk

SEO Services

Marketing results have always been my focus, but the awards were nice too.

A Few Things You Should Know

I’ve worked in marketing since the 1990s, both client-side and agency-side
Before High Impact, I founded and sold an award-winning digital screen media company, with contracts from Sainsbury’s, Camelot, and M&S
I’ve advised over 100 businesses from global brands like Hugo Boss to ambitious founders scaling with SEO
I prefer working hands-on with a small number of clients I believe in, where we can form genuine, mutually beneficial partnerships

What I Bring to the Table

I’ve always focused on what moves the needle — and that’s why clients come to me when:

They’ve lost traffic and don’t know why
Their current agency isn’t delivering insight, direction, or results
They’re investing in content but not seeing return
They’ve built a great product but need SEO to match the ambition
They want to grow but need a smarter, more strategic SEO plan to get there

I work best with companies who take their growth seriously, whether that means fixing what’s broken, unlocking new opportunities, or scaling visibility across competitive markets.

And I care deeply about the relationships I build. I want win–win outcomes. I take your results personally. That means telling you what you need to hear (not just what you want to hear), and finding the best opportunities for ROI, whether that’s a technical quick win, a smarter keyword plan, or content that truly reflects how your customers search.

You’re in Safe Hands

Some of the companies I’ve worked with include:

From Shopify migrations to complex B2B services if SEO plays a critical role in your business growth, we’ll probably work well together.

Real Experience, Not Guesswork

I’ve helped clients:

Migrate sites safely and grow traffic post-launch
Fix painful technical issues and recover from Google penalties
Move from unranked to top positions for valuable commercial terms
Turn blog content from dead weight into traffic drivers
Get internal buy-in for SEO through clear strategy and reporting

And yes, I still test things myself. I’ve ranked my own affiliate sites in top positions for keywords like “engagement rings” and “pine wardrobes”, and continue to run projects behind the scenes to refine what works.

Some Client Testimonials

We’ve been extremely impressed by the results since partnering with High Impact. Julian and the team quickly delivered a detailed site audit that highlighted key improvements, and their communication has always been clear, professional, and informative. If we ever have an SEO question, we know we’ll get a prompt and helpful response. The monthly reports give great insight into our progress, and most importantly, we’ve seen significant increases in organic traffic thanks to their work.

Julian and his team at High Impact have supported us across several years with expert SEO advice, website content improvements, and high-quality link building. Their deep knowledge of what it takes to rank well from on-page elements to technical setup and off-site authority made a real impact on our search visibility. Beyond the results, they’ve been a pleasure to work with. I’d happily recommend an evaluation and proposal from High Impact to any business that takes SEO seriously.

We’d previously struggled to find an SEO partner who could deliver the results we needed until we started working with High Impact. From the beginning, Julian and his team have been consistent, communicative, and strategic. We’ve received regular, detailed reports showing the work done and the improvements made, and we’re really pleased with the results we’ve seen over the past couple of years.
