Professional summary

Bridging data automation with high-converting strategy

I'm a Senior SEO & AI Marketing Consultant specialising in Local SEO, Technical SEO, on-page optimisation, conversion funnels and marketing automation — delivering measurable improvements in organic visibility, leads and revenue for B2B and B2C service and e-commerce brands.

My background is unusual: I started in the early 1990s as a Technical Engineer building corporate IT infrastructure, ran my own IT consultancy through the 2000s, then moved into modern web, SEO and AI as the disciplines matured. That stack of skills means I'm as comfortable wiring up a Shopify-to-ERP integration as I am writing a content strategy or auditing Core Web Vitals.

Today I work with UK businesses that have outgrown generalist agencies — the ones who need a senior pair of hands that can think about schema, sales funnels and autonomous AI agents in the same conversation, and ship the result.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who is Streamline Digital?

Streamline Digital is a UK-based AI automation, Shopify and SEO consultancy headquartered in Bournemouth, Dorset, founded and led by Robert Jackson. We work with ambitious small and mid-market businesses across the UK, building AI workflows, custom Shopify integrations, bespoke APIs and data-driven SEO systems that move the numbers — not just the slide deck.

What services does Streamline Digital offer?

We deliver fifteen specialist services covering AI workflow automation, Shopify API and app development, custom REST and GraphQL APIs, automated SEO content management, technical SEO, on-page SEO, off-page SEO, local SEO in Bournemouth and Dorset, E-E-A-T optimisation, website development on Next.js + Vercel, conversion rate optimisation, AI chatbots and payment & financial automation.

Where is Streamline Digital based?

Our office is in Bournemouth, Dorset. We work UK-wide with clients in London, Manchester, Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds, Edinburgh and across the South Coast — remotely by default and on-site where it adds value.

Who runs Streamline Digital?

Streamline Digital is founder-led by Robert Jackson, a Senior SEO & AI Marketing Consultant with 25+ years of experience across IT infrastructure, digital marketing and AI-driven growth. Robert personally scopes, designs and oversees every engagement. There are no junior account managers, no hand-offs and no offshored delivery — you work with the same expert from first call to launch.

What kind of businesses do you typically work with?

We work primarily with UK e-commerce stores on Shopify, Shopify Plus and headless setups, professional services firms (legal, accounting, consultancy), B2B SaaS companies and product brands turning over between £500k and £25m. Most clients come to us when manual admin, fragmented systems or stagnant SEO are starting to limit growth.

Do you only work with businesses in Bournemouth or Dorset?

No. Although we are proudly based in Bournemouth and run a strong local SEO practice across Dorset, the majority of our clients are based elsewhere in the UK. Our delivery is fully remote-first, with on-site workshops available for larger engagements.

What makes Streamline Digital different from a traditional agency?

Three things. First, every project is delivered by a senior expert — there is no junior team behind the scenes. Second, we combine AI automation, Shopify engineering and SEO under one roof so the work compounds rather than fighting itself. Third, we build on a modern, fully server-rendered tech stack (Next.js, Vercel, Supabase) which means everything we ship is fast, indexable and easy to extend.

How do you charge for projects?

Most engagements are fixed-fee project work scoped from a free discovery call, with optional monthly retainers for ongoing optimisation, monitoring or content updates. We never bill by the hour, and we always agree the price and the scope in writing before any work begins.

How long does a typical project take?

Quick wins like a technical SEO audit or a single AI workflow can be delivered in two to four weeks. A full Shopify-to-ERP integration or an automated SEO CMS rollout typically takes six to twelve weeks. We always give a realistic timeline up front based on the actual scope, not a sales-led estimate.

How do I get started with Streamline Digital?

Use the contact form on the website to share a few details about your business and the challenge you are trying to solve. We respond within one working day with a clear next step — usually a free 30-minute discovery call where we map out a realistic plan and quote.
