About Auburn Stories

ABOUT

I’m Katy - an SEO strategist and content specialist helping growing brands create content that feels good, works hard, and actually makes sense.

Hey, I’m Katy

SEO strategist, content creator and the face behind Auburn Stories.

I help small businesses grow their online visibility through simple, effective SEO and content strategies - without the jargon or overwhelm.

My Experience

With over 10 years of experience in digital marketing, I’ve spent my career helping brands grow their online visibility through SEO and content.

I started my SEO journey in-house, first at an adventure travel company and then at the UK’s leading holiday letting agency - building a strong foundation in strategy, content, and organic growth from day one.

Since then, I’ve worked with a range of brands across the travel, charity, fitness, and childcare sectors, giving me a clear understanding of what works, what doesn’t, and how to create content that genuinely resonates.


My Approach to SEO

SEO isn’t about keywords - it’s about the words in between.

My approach is simple: no jargon, no fluff. Just practical, results-driven SEO that makes sense for your business.

Whether it’s keyword research, content strategy, or technical optimisation, everything I do is focused on helping your website perform better and attract the right people.

Because great SEO isn’t just about getting traffic. It’s about getting the right traffic, and turning that into real results.

Why I Created Auburn Stories

If I’m honest, Auburn Stories came from a bit of a turning point.

I was due to return from maternity leave and ended up being made redundant. But Auburn Stories had already been quietly building in the background - and in a way, it felt like the push I needed.

I wanted more flexibility. More time with my babies. And honestly? I knew I had a lot more to give.

Alongside the strategy, there’s always been a creative side.

I’ve always loved the balance between data and storytelling - which is what first led me to start my blog, My Mountains and Me. It began as a space to share hiking adventures, and over time grew into something more - real-life stories, toddler-friendly trails, muddy boots and all.

Auburn Stories is where it all comes together.

The strategy, the creativity, and the real-life experience - helping you create content that not only ranks well, but feels human, builds trust, and genuinely connects with your audience.
