SPECIALIST FRAMER SEO CONSULTANTS
How We Help Businesses Looking for a Framer SEO Consultant
We offer Framer SEO consulting as a discrete service. Book an hour to debug a specific issue, a five or ten hour block to work through an audit and roadmap, or a full retainer to run a campaign end to end. The same senior consultant works on every hour you book.
Framer ships meaningful SEO infrastructure: server-side rendering by default, automatic XML sitemap, robots.txt with Well-Known Files override, per-page title and description editing, JSON-LD support, Open Graph fields, redirect manager with wildcard support, and AWS CloudFront CDN with HTTP/2, Brotli compression, and automatic WebP serving. What it ships is also opinionated. Custom canonical URLs are Enterprise-only. CMS item page titles are forced into a fixed format. Code Components that use browser-only APIs break the SSR, falling back to client-side rendering and losing every SEO benefit the platform was built to provide.
The work is led by Daniel Foley Carter (founder, 25+ years in SEO) and a team of senior consultants with at least 10 years of hands-on experience each. There are no junior account managers, no offshored audit production, and no gatekeeping between you and the person doing the work.
- Framer SEO consulting from $200 per hour
- Single hour, 5-hour or 10-hour blocks
- Most engagements start within 1–2 business days
- Code Components, CMS Collections & migrations
- Localize, schema, Core Web Vitals & redirects

The Process
How Our SEO Consulting Works
Five steps from first contact to first hour delivered. Most engagements start within 1 to 2 business days.
Send a Brief
Use the contact form or email a short summary of the site, your Framer plan tier, the problem, and what you want from the engagement. Three or four sentences is enough.
Scoping Call (15–30 minutes, free)
A short call to confirm the brief, agree what is in scope, and recommend the right number of hours. If a single hour is enough, we will tell you. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you that too.
Book Hours
You purchase the block that matches the scope. Single hour, five hour, or ten hour. Invoiced before the work starts. We accept card and bank transfer.
Access
You add the consultant to Framer with the appropriate workspace role (Editor or Admin scoped to the specific site), Search Console, GA4, and any third-party tools relevant to the work.
Delivery
Work is delivered against the scope agreed in step 2. Async by default, with calls scheduled where they help. You receive a written summary of what was done, what was found, and what comes next.

SEO Consulting Case Study
How We've Helped Clients Recover Lost Traffic & Rankings
Riderguide and their sub-brand Electric Scooter Guide were impacted by numerous Google core updates, losing a significant volume of clicks. We initially provided SEO consulting to help audit content, identify issues with content as well as technical SEO issues.
Using the consulting hours, we were able to advise on issues and provide clear instructions and a strategy on forward actions. The consulting hours were then used to oversee work and subsequently the client has begun to make a recovery with ongoing click gains.
During the SEO consultancy hours we provided audit support, analysis and guidance for the client.

Why Work With Us?
PLATFORM EXPERTISE
Framer SEO Is Its Own Discipline
Generic SEO advice fails on Framer because Framer is not a conventional CMS. The platform combines a visual design surface, a React-based rendering engine, server-side rendering by default, AWS-hosted infrastructure, and a CMS layer that interacts with both the design and the code. Working inside it takes specific knowledge of where the rendering pipeline ends and where the platform's design choices sit.
Framer's rendering model is server-side first. Pages are rendered on the server before they reach the browser complete HTML at publish time, no JavaScript execution required for crawlers to read content. Code Components that assume a browser environment (using window, document, or navigator APIs without proper guards) cause Framer to fall back to client-side rendering on affected pages, losing SSR benefits, bundling, minification, and Core Web Vitals quality. This is the single most consequential Framer SEO trap, and it is invisible until you check what HTML ships to the browser before JavaScript runs.
Custom canonical URLs are Enterprise-only. CMS item page titles default to a fixed [item name] [separator] [site name] format that cannot be fully overridden through the standard interface. Framer does not currently support sitewide metadata templates that apply across CMS items at scale. These are not complaints they are constraints to work within.
That is why Framer SEO is its own discipline. Our recommendations cover off-site SEO too, from link building through to digital PR, all wired into how Framer actually behaves.
Here is our own head of SEO Daniel Foley Carter ranking in the UK market for “SEO Consultant” #1 in AI Overviews & #1 on the SERP.
Framer Environments We Work In
- Framer Sites (Mini, Basic, Pro, Business plans)
- Framer Enterprise (custom canonical, SSO, custom SSL, Multi Site)
- Framer CMS (20 collections / 10,000 items default; extends to 40/40,000)
- Framer Localize (multilingual, hreflang, localized page paths)
- Code Components (React SSR-aware development and auditing)
- Multi Site (multiple sites from one workspace with proxy routing)
- External CMS sync (Contentful, Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets)
- Migrations into Framer (from WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, custom)
- Migrations off Framer (to WordPress, Webflow, Sanity, Contentful)
What You're Likely Looking For
Most people who land on this page fall into one of six buckets. The right starting point depends on which one fits.
Most engagements start with hourly consulting; some scale into ongoing campaign work once we've scoped the gaps.
Framer Site With Flat or Falling Traffic
The site is fast. The design is sharp. The animations are smooth. Organic still is not pulling its weight. You want a senior consultant to look at the site architecture, the CMS Collection structure, the schema coverage, the Code Components, and what Googlebot actually sees, and tell you where the disconnect is.
Migrating to Framer from Another CMS
Moving from WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, or a custom CMS to Framer. The designer or in-house team has the build covered. The SEO scope is open. You want someone who has run these migrations before and knows where rankings get lost, particularly given Framer's CMS constraints, wildcard redirect manager behavior, and the documented SEO implications of migrations into Framer.
Code Components Breaking SSR
Your Framer site has custom Code Components for animations, integrations, or specific functionality. Code Components that use browser-only APIs (window, document, navigator) break Framer's server-side rendering and force client-side rendering on affected pages. The result is worse Core Web Vitals, slower indexing, and SEO that does not match the platform's marketing. You want a consultant who can read both the Framer side and the React side.
Running Into Framer's CMS Limits
The default CMS scope is 20 collections and 10,000 items per project. Paid add-ons extend this to 40 collections and 40,000 items. Sites running content libraries, programmatic landing pages, or location-based content hit these limits. You want a consultant who has navigated this with external CMS sync (Contentful, Notion, Airtable), tier upgrades, or hybrid stacks.
Launching a New Framer Site
Pre-launch is the cheapest time to get SEO right. Page architecture, CMS Collection naming (which determines URL structure for every item), redirect planning, schema strategy, Code Component decisions, and plan tier choice (custom canonical URLs are Enterprise-only, Localize is a paid add-on) are all decisions easier to make at planning stage than to retrofit later.
Manual Action, Ranking Drop, or In-House Team Support
Search Console is showing a manual action, rankings have dropped across a Core, Spam, or Helpful Content update, or you have a marketing or development team that needs senior SEO input on Framer-specific decisions. We scope the recovery work or join your Slack and contribute alongside your existing team.

KNOW THE CONSTRAINTS
Where Framer Sites Quietly Lose Rankings
The issues we find on almost every site we audit. None are fatal. All cost traffic.
Code Components forcing client-side rendering
The single most consequential Framer SEO issue. Code Components using window, document, or navigator without proper guards force client-side rendering on the page. Googlebot can render JavaScript, but with delays, and the SSR benefits Framer is built on disappear. Sites with this issue often look like they should rank better than they do, with no obvious cause until you view source on a problem page and find an empty HTML shell.
Auto-generated slugs left at default
Framer generates slugs from page or item names automatically. Long titles produce long slugs. Editors do not always check the resulting URL before publish. Editorial process should include slug review before publish especially on CMS items where the Collection name is already locked into the URL prefix.
CMS Collection naming locked into URL structure
CMS Collection names become URL prefixes for every item in that collection. A Collection named for editorial convenience ('Resources') produces URLs ('/resources/[slug]') that may not match content strategy. Renaming the Collection later requires manual redirect work for every existing URL. We find collections planned at launch that were never revisited.
Animation-heavy pages with poor LCP and INP
Framer makes shipping elaborate animations remarkably easy. Stacking scroll-triggered animations, parallax effects, and motion variants on commercial pages slows down LCP and INP. Core Web Vitals are confirmed ranking signals. Animation budgets matter on pages where rankings drive revenue.
Schema absence on commercial pages
Framer does not ship a built-in schema builder. Schema is added through embedded code blocks or Code Components. Sites that did not implement custom JSON-LD have no structured data on commercial pages, missing rich result eligibility for FAQ, Product, Article, and BreadcrumbList types.
Framer subdomain indexed alongside custom domain
Sites that published on the default framer.app subdomain before connecting a custom domain sometimes have both versions indexed in Search Console. We audit and consolidate. The framer.app version competes with the production domain and can send conflicting signals to Google.
CASE STUDY
SEO Consulting Success Story
“We used Assertive's SEO consulting to help recover lost traffic”
We hired one of the Assertive SEO consultants (Daniel Foley Carter) to help us with an assessment regarding a loss of traffic after a Google core update. Daniel performed an extensive SEO audit, he identified lots of issues that we weren't aware of.
We booked additional time so that Daniel could support our team as we went through a content and link cleanup. We fixed a load of issues including non-indexed page reasons.
Since, we've started to see our traffic recover. I highly recommend, Daniel was extremely thorough and clearly knowledgeable.
