SEO that speaks the language of business and profitability

I’m Alban Febrer (Sanmarti, my Catalan surname), a freelance SEO consultant. Since 2018 I have helped business owners turn their SEO into a cash machine: buyers multiplied by four in 18 months on a cut-throat market, a site launched with €800 now worth €700,000 of free traffic from Google (Ahrefs estimate). No bullshit, no useless traffic: leads, revenue and margin.

Third market opened the same year for Topmercato.com. One site per country, declared with hreflang, so that no version cannibalises the others.

A curve, like everyone else, but with the context

Since everyone posts curves without any context, let’s do the same. This one is a site launched with €800 on a cut-throat market: referring domains (different sites linking to you), organic traffic and traffic value over two years, taken from Ahrefs.

Referring domainsOrganic trafficOrganic traffic valueOrganic pages
13 Jul 2025Referring domains9,189Organic traffic56,516Organic traffic value$791,657Organic pages826 Sep 20248 Jan 202522 Apr 20254 Aug 202516 Nov 202528 Feb 202612 Jun 202624 Sep 2026
Context, since one is needed: €800 starting budget, eight pages, a market where paid ads are closed and the biggest groups in the world compete. The curve drops when the mission stops, which says something too.

And since one curve proves nothing, here are four more, from different projects and niches. Every screenshot comes from Ahrefs, with the data point and what sits behind it:

1. Dating comparison

Ahrefs, 16 Sep 2023

A dating site comparison platform launched with €10 alongside a friend.

2. Basketball media

Ahrefs, 31 Dec 2023

A Spanish basketball media site, here at its peak, right before I left the company.

3. iGaming media

Ahrefs, 19 Sep 2025

An iGaming media site built from scratch.

4. Gaming site

Ahrefs, 15 Aug 2025

A site built from scratch in the gaming space for GreenTomatoMedia: one single page and four referring domains.

★★★★★

Alban joined to push SEO R&D on niches everyone fights for. Within months he industrialised what others still do by hand.

EdwinCEO and co-founder, DarkShine Media
★★★★★

Alban took the French market in hand end to end. He built his team, launched a parasite SEO department from scratch and kept results climbing against competitors with far bigger budgets.

CCharlesHead of SEO, GreenTomatoMedia
★★★★★

An SEO who speaks the developers’ language. Alban specifies, tests and measures: his processes plug straight into our stack.

PierreCTO and co-founder, DarkShine Media
★★★★★

Alban took over organic acquisition for both our products, a course platform and a sports events app. He puts a figure on what he suggests and explains his trade-offs before anything is launched.

LéonardCo-founder, Peachie & Goya
★★★★★

Our market is regulated: you cannot write anything you like about a health product. Alban found the angles that clear the regulatory bar and still bring buyers, not just readers.

CorentinFounder, health and wellness e-commerce
★★★★★

My brunch site was ranking for nothing. Alban targeted searches by city and by type of venue, and weekend visits finally come from Google.

AdrienFounder of a brunch website
★★★★★

Alban took over my website and made me visible on coaching searches in my area. Enquiries now come in every week through Google.

FlorianSports coach · florian-coaching-sportif.fr
★★★★★

Alban is the peer I call when a project goes off the beaten track: saturated market, large-scale link building, automation. He puts numbers on things before acting and says plainly when an idea is not worth its cost.

Who I work with

SEO is not run the same way depending on site size and market. Here are the six profiles I meet most often, and what changes for each. Spot your own case: the rest of the page builds on it.

Small and mid-size businesses

A brochure site, a few dozen pages, a local or national market. The point is to rank on the queries that trigger a call or a quote.

E-commerce

Catalogues, facets (catalogue filters: size, colour, price) and thousands of product pages. We take back control of crawling and win the research stage, where the decision happens.

SaaS and B2B

Long sales cycles, expert content. SEO feeds demos and free trials, not just traffic.

Local shops and services

Business profile, area pages and reviews. The local pack (map block with business listings in Google) is won before anything else, and it pays faster than national.

Publishers and affiliates

Large page volumes and performance revenue. Structure, sustained production and a link budget costed over six months.

Highly competitive markets

iGaming (online gambling), dating, CBD, sports betting. That is where I learned the trade, and what I bring back serves everyone else.

My services

Twelve services from a freelance SEO consultant, from one-off diagnosis to full steering. Each card sums up the scope, the anchor opens the detail and deliverables. Click a card to open the detailed page of the service.

My tools

The stack of a technical SEO consultant: crawling (Google’s robot visiting the site), rankings, logs and automation, the same tools I run on my own sites. No tool is imposed: I also work with the ones your team already uses.
