Why work with me?
Other than the fact that I am so awesome, obviously…
👈 Vukasin Ilic
Here’s how I work: I treat your business like it’s mine.
If I wouldn’t spend my own money on it, I won’t ask you to.
Simple rule. It keeps the strategy honest, and it keeps the results real.
The agency model is broken. There's a better way to do things.
For 15 years, I’ve lived and breathed search. I started in the trenches, running SEO inside agencies, leading in-house teams, and building strategies for hundreds of businesses from B2B SaaS to e-commerce.
That experience gave me a simple truth: most businesses don’t need another agency. They need direct access to someone senior who actually understands how their business makes money.
The agency model is bloated. Too many layers. Too many meetings. Too little accountability. You pay for the team structure, not the outcome.
I’ve seen it from the inside, and I built this fractional model to be the opposite of that. When you work with me, there’s no middleman, no endless handoffs, and no “we’ll circle back” emails.
It’s just you and me building an SEO system that fits your business and drives real growth.
I’ve also “eaten my own dog food.” I’ve built, ranked, and monetized several of my own websites, so I know what it feels like to spend your own money on SEO.
That perspective keeps the strategy grounded, focused on what actually moves the needle, not what looks good in a report.
This model is built for small and mid-sized businesses that want expert-level SEO without agency overhead. It’s for owners who care about results, not deliverables - people who want SEO to be predictable, profitable, and worth their time.
And just to be clear, if you’re running a Fortune 500 company with a marketing department the size of a small city, you probably need an agency. But if you want a hands-on partner who gives a damn, cuts the fluff, and focuses on what works - that’s exactly what I do.

Here's What They Had To Say
P.S. No arms were twisted in gathering these testimonials.
Vuk exceeded expectations with his thorough, data-driven SEO audit. We uncovered insights that we never would have been able to uncover ourselves, learning about the strengths and weaknesses of our SEO efforts, and most importantly - Vuk provided a roadmap to HOW we can better optimize our site. Everyone was very impressed with the quality of Vuk's work, his thoughtfulness and clear expertise in this area. Plus, he's easy to work with - delivers on what he says he's going to deliver, and goes above and beyond to make sure we're feeling good about the project.

Vukasin is the best SEO guy I have ever worked with. He has a very strong understanding of SEO and how it correlates to our business expectations, and hardly needed any guidance on what we wanted done. He also provided very detailed reporting throughout the campaign's time. I will be working with him again in the future. Highly recommended!
Callum Mundine
CEO / Paper Plan
Vukasin is an amazing SEO consultant whose knowledge goes beyond surface level, and he understands Google and ranking factors on a much deeper, expert level. This helps when creating campaigns because he’s able to outsmart thousand SEOs who are just looking at what’s everyone else doing.

I've recently started working with Vukasin, and I'm impressed with the work he has put in to help me form my SEO strategy. He is knowledgeable about the industry, timely with his work and generous with his advice. I am looking forward to continue working with him!
Abbas Jaffar Ali
CEO / Tbreak
Working with Vukasin completely changed how I look at SEO. We tried two fractional SEO consultants before, but they just sent reports I barely understood. With him, it's different - he actually explains why we're doing things and helps our team learn. Within 4 months, our organic traffic jumped from 20k to 50k monthly visitors, but more importantly, our team now knows exactly what they're doing. Worth every penny of that monthly investment!
Silas Winslow
CMO / Summit Ridge Solutions
I would definitely recommend working with Vuk. I've worked with larger, US-based SEO agencies in the past for other brands, and while that often makes sense when the budgets are larger, for small businesses such as ours where the budget is lower, Vuk provides a really wonderful alternative. I think that the service and results I got from working with him definitely rival what I've gotten from other larger agencies in the past.

Everyone was very impressed with the quality of Vuk's work, his thoughtfulness and clear expertise in this area. Plus, he's easy to work with - delivers on what he says he's going to deliver, and goes above and beyond to make sure we're feeling good about the project.

Vukasin is the best SEO guy I have ever worked with. He has a very strong understanding of SEO and how it correlates to our business expectations, and hardly needed any guidance on what we wanted done. He also provided very detailed reporting throughout the campaign's time. I will be working with him again in the future. Highly recommended!
Callum Mundine
CEO / Paper Plan
Vukasin is an amazing SEO consultant whose knowledge goes beyond surface level, and he understands Google and ranking factors on a much deeper, expert level. This helps when creating campaigns because he’s able to outsmart thousand SEOs who are just looking at what’s everyone else doing.

I've recently started working with Vukasin, and I'm impressed with the work he has put in to help me form my SEO strategy. He is knowledgeable about the industry, timely with his work and generous with his advice. I am looking forward to continue working with him!

Working with Vukasin completely changed how I look at SEO. We tried two fractional SEO consultants before, but they just sent reports I barely understood. With him, it's different - he actually explains why we're doing things and helps our team learn. Within 4 months, our organic traffic jumped from 20k to 50k monthly visitors, but more importantly, our team now knows exactly what they're doing. Worth every penny of that monthly investment!

I would definitely recommend working with Vuk. I've worked with larger, US-based SEO agencies in the past for other brands, and while that often makes sense when the budgets are larger, for small businesses such as ours where the budget is lower, Vuk provides a really wonderful alternative. I think that the service and results I got from working with him definitely rival what I've gotten from other larger agencies in the past.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is fractional SEO?
Fractional SEO is a modern, strategic approach where you embed a senior-level SEO consultant into your team for a "fraction" of the time and cost of a full-time executive hire. You get world-class strategy, a clear roadmap, and expert oversight to ensure your business gets the SEO work that actually drives revenue - all without the $150,000+ annual salary, benefits, and long-term commitment. It's the perfect model for businesses that are serious about growth but need to remain lean and agile.
How much does an SEO consultant cost?
The cost of SEO expertise varies dramatically, making it easy to make a poor investment. Typical agencies charge anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000+ per month, where you often pay for high overhead while a junior manager handles your account. On the other end of the spectrum, a top-tier in-house leader commands a $150,000+ salary, a fantastic asset, but one that’s out of reach for most businesses. The fractional SEO model was designed to disrupt this flawed choice, delivering the strategic value of a senior executive at a price point that offers unparalleled ROI. It is the most capital-efficient way to get the best guidance you need to drive results.
What is the 80/20 rule for SEO?
The 80/20 rule, or Pareto Principle, is the key to winning in SEO. It dictates that the vast majority of your results will come from a small handful of high-impact activities. Most businesses and agencies waste their time and budget on low-impact tasks, but my entire philosophy is built on ruthlessly focusing on that vital 20%: establishing a flawless technical foundation, executing a targeted content strategy that captures high-intent customers, and earning authoritative backlinks that build trust. My role is to cut through the noise and direct our efforts exclusively to these high-leverage activities, ensuring your investment is maximized for real business growth.
What does a fractional consultant do?
A fractional SEO consultant acts as the strategic leader for your organic growth channel, functioning as a direct extension of your business. My role is to create a clear, prioritized growth roadmap and then drive its execution. For businesses with an existing team, I provide the senior oversight needed to guide your writers and developers toward flawless implementation. For leaner businesses that need execution, I become your dedicated growth engine - handling the strategic, content, and technical aspects myself. Regardless of the model, I provide concise monthly reports that connect our activities directly to revenue and serve as your on-call expert for any SEO challenge. Ultimately, you get a senior partner dedicated to your success, with a flexible model that adapts to your company's exact needs.
How many hours do you typicaly invest in a business in a Fractional Consultant of SEO role?
My hourly rate is $100/hr, so I spend 20 hours, as a minimum, or more, depending on the arrangement, monthly on meaningful strategic and implementation work. I try to focus on big-picture strategy and implementation work rather than most day-to-day tasks. This keeps our work focused and effective - you get clear direction on what matters most, and we don't waste any time.
Do you do the actual SEO work? What's the difference between what you do and what a full time SEO hire does?
Ideally, I will get my hands dirty and work on high level stuff like audits, keyword research and strategy work as much as I can. And while I do a lot of the implementation work, I tend to stay away from lower-level tasks like content briefs and link prospecting. This is because it makes zero sense to pay anyone $100/hr to do a job that someone can do for 5x less.
What kind of businesses are you NOT a good fit for?
I don’t work on large agency retainer models ($10,000+) that involve all content creation and link building. My role is best suited for businesses that are in the range of $2,000-$10,000 per month, who need reliable SEO work, and don’t want to deal with yet another SEO agency or hire a full time SEO person. I am also a good fit for those who are ready to build internal SEO teams, or those needing strategic guidance for their existing team or sometimes even as a third-party that oversees outsourced work to agencies or vendors.
