Web development for consulting firms
5.0
The problem Your firm runs on referrals. A referral cannot be in two places at once.
It travels at the speed of your contact book, and stops there.
Your website says exactly what the Big Four say.
Transformation, performance, tailored support. The committee shortlisting three firms before a consultation reads the same page three times. With equal promises, they compare what they can compare: the day rate.
Your best assignments are told nowhere.
Confidentiality keeps your results locked inside slide decks and internal debriefs. What you unblocked for one client never helps you win the next one, because nobody can read it.
The decision-maker read you, judged you, and left no trace.
They were looking for a firm on a specific issue, went through your homepage, found no sign of an assignment like theirs. They left without a word, and you won't find out who won the mandate instead of you.
You build your authority on someone else's ground.
Your partners publish, organic reach drops every quarter and a post lives forty-eight hours. You feed an audience you don't own, on a platform that decides on its own who gets to read you.
The solution Your website becomes your best referral.
The one that keeps working while your partners are out on assignment.
With this new website, you get mandates, not impressions.
And your pipeline stops depending on your partners' contact books.
A firm gets chosen on its way of thinking.
Your reading of the market, your method, the convictions that make you turn assignments down. That point of view is what separates two firms, not the list of areas you cover. Spelled out, it makes you impossible to mistake for a competitor.
Confidentiality doesn't rule out proof.
Context, approach, measured results: an assignment can be told without ever naming the client. Your cases become readable by a decision-maker who has never met you, and your frameworks travel beyond the meeting room. They arrive at the first call already knowing how you work.
Enquiries that arrive with their context.
Stakes, scope, deadline, budget in mind: the forms ask what you would ask on the first call. Every enquiry lands in your CRM complete and sourced. Your partners qualify mandates instead of sorting through noise.
A post lives two days. A page works for years.
A page for each area of expertise and each problem you solve, written in the words your future clients use on Google and with AI assistants. It is still being read eighteen months from now by a decision-maker you would never have reached, while Tuesday's post is long gone from the feed.

Frequently asked questions
What's the budget for a consulting firm website?
I charge €595 per working day. A complete showcase website (up to 10 pages, SEO blog included) starts from 6 days, so from €2,975. A website with CMS, with content strategy, thematic silo architecture and CRM integrations, starts at 12 days, so €8,925. The price depends on scope: number of pages, content strategy, integrations, volume of target keywords. A 25-minute call scopes the project and fixes the price before the first line of code.
How do you build a content and thought leadership strategy for a consulting firm?
A consulting firm creates value through its expertise, but that expertise remains invisible if it isn't published and structured to be found. I build content architectures in thematic silos: each practice area (strategy, digital transformation, finance, HR…) has its own content pillar with supporting articles. This structure lets the firm rank on expertise keywords and get cited by AI tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity. Content is designed to demonstrate the firm's competence, not to fill a blog without strategy. I work with you to define priority topics, appropriate formats (in-depth articles, case studies, sector analyses) and the editorial calendar.
SEO or LinkedIn: which channel should a B2B consulting firm prioritise for lead generation?
Both are complementary, but they serve different stages of the client journey. LinkedIn is effective for brand awareness and direct relationships, but organic reach is declining and content has a very short shelf life. SEO, on the other hand, builds a durable asset: a well-ranked article keeps generating qualified visitors months after publication. In 2026, Google AI Overviews and generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity) cite authoritative sources. Your website is the only place where you fully control that content. I build sites combining technical SEO and GEO so your firm is found on Google and cited by AI, whatever your prospects are searching for.
Can a blog and editorial strategy be integrated directly into my consulting firm's website?
Yes: it's at the core of the offering. The sites I build for consulting firms natively include a blog with an optimised SEO architecture: structured URLs, semantic markup, internal linking between articles and service pages. You have two options for content management: I handle it through a monthly editorial retainer (from €150/month), or you manage it yourself with a bespoke CMS if your team wants full publishing autonomy. In both cases, each article is designed to answer a specific search intent and to demonstrate your firm's expertise on questions your clients are actually asking.
Can I connect my website to my CRM for lead nurturing?
Yes. The sites I build for consulting firms can be integrated with the main CRMs on the market: HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, or an internal CRM. Contact forms, content download requests (white papers, studies) and newsletter sign-ups feed directly into your prospecting pipelines. I also configure analytics events (Google Analytics 4, Matomo) to track conversion paths and identify which pages generate the most qualified leads. If your nurturing process includes AI-powered automations, these are integrated from the design phase.
What happens if Sébastien is no longer available: who maintains my site?
The full source code of your site lives in your own Git repository from day one, on very widespread technologies (Astro, TypeScript) with documented conventions. Another developer can take over with no transition period. I also work with developers I trust who have secure access to projects and can step in.
What I cannot promise is being available forever; what I can guarantee is that my leaving does not block you.
My firm is small (3-5 consultants). Is this suited to my budget?
Yes. A complete showcase website with SEO blog and CRM integration starts at €2,975, which is the price of one or two consulting days billed to your own clients. For a small firm, we focus on the essentials: two or three key themes, service pages that convert, a well-connected CRM. You do not need fifty pages to start ranking.
A small firm even has an advantage: you can publish fast, test angles and decide without a committee. The site then grows with you, silo by silo.
How long before SEO results for my consulting firm?
Generally, the first rankings arrive between 3 and 6 months after launch, on the least competitive keywords in your niche. That is the time Google takes to index your content, evaluate its relevance and start positioning it.
What accelerates things: a content architecture structured from the start, a regular publishing cadence (even one article a month changes the trajectory) and a domain with some history. The effect is cumulative, each piece reinforcing the ones before it. It is an investment that compounds, where an ad spend stops the day you cut the budget.
