SEO Consulting for Nonprofits

About

Specialist in SEO for effective organisations

Low Hanging Impact is my SEO and AI visibility consulting service for nonprofits in effective altruism, AI safety, and beyond.

I help you optimise your public-facing work for modern search and AI platforms to make sure the right people discover it, even if you don't have a significant communications budget.

Average response time

People are looking for your ideas, let's make sure they find them.

If you're publishing without an SEO expert in the loop, your ideas only get a fraction of the visibility they deserve.

Without an SEO professional in the loop, your website and content will be underoptimised. This means that even when people ask questions that your work answers, they won't reliably find you.

Bring me into your project and I will discover anything that's preventing you from being the answer in search and AI platforms. I will clearly explain the issues and opportunities and their causes, and help you resolve them in the most efficient way.

What kinds of organisations is this for?

EA Infrastructure organisations

I make sure your resources and content can be found by the people who need them, whether they're new to effective altruism or already part of the ecosystem.

Think tanks, research and AI safety

I make sure your research and publications are easy to find for the researchers, academics, students, journalists and policymakers searching for data, evidence and expert analysis.

Global health, poverty & animal welfare

I help your work be found by people searching for ways to help with global health, poverty, and animal welfare, whether they’re looking to advocate, donate or influence policy.

EA aligned and adjacent organisations

I'm also open to working with impact-focused organisations outside of EA, including nonprofits, public benefit companies and for-profit businesses if the primary focus is spreading ideas.

Your on-demand fractional SEO expert

I'm Patrick, the founder of Low Hanging Impact. You will deal directly with me personally. I have over 15 years of SEO experience and a transparent, no-nonsense consulting style. I specialise in providing impact-focused organisations with strategies that increase search and AI visibility in a measurable way, maximising the impact of even the most limited communications budgets.

Patrick Cookman,
Founder & SEO Consultant

"Patrick is competent, responsible, communicates very clearly and, most importantly, has a no-nonsense and honest approach to SEO, which is something that is really hard to find in my experience, and very valuable. He addresses each challenge with curiosity, competence, and humility. I've learned so much working with him, since he always ensures I understand his guidance and the reasoning behind it, so I can e.g. correct him if he is working under a false assumption. It feels like he is not trying to sell me and gate-keep his service, but genuinely trying to help me and my organization. I strongly recommend working with him."

You don't need an SEO agency or a full-time hire

Most SEO agencies make money by selling you content, website updates, and links from other websites. But as an impactful organisation, you already publish high-quality ideas, have a dev team, and get links from the most authoritative sites on the web.

What you need is expert SEO guidance embedded into your organisation. But even if you publish regularly, that's rarely a full-time position.

Low Hanging Impact is my low-cost, high-leverage alternative to SEO agencies and full-time hires:

What do I do?

Technical optimisation

I will audit your website to ensure search engines can easily discover, crawl and index your pages, and I'll support your web team in maintaining a solid technical foundation. I'll help you optimise structure and code to properly signal your organisation's expertise, trustworthiness, and authority.

Content optimisation

I will guide you in making your existing content friendly for search engines and LLMs, embed SEO best practices into your publishing workflows, and provide fast support for pre-publishing checks.

Content planning

I will identify gaps in your website content by researching what users are searching for, and advise you on how to publish your ideas to align with search demand.

Performance monitoring

I will monitor how your website performs across Google and AI platforms. I will provide regular reports so we can see exactly what is and isn't working. This ensures we know where to focus our efforts for maximum impact.
