THE INDEX CLUB / FOUNDER
Founder of The Index Club · SEO & AI Search Consultant
I'm Warren Hance, founder of The Index Club. I work directly with ambitious UK brands on senior search strategy, technical foundations, and AI search readiness.
I've spent more than a decade in search, helping founders, CMOs, and product teams cut through agency fluff and focus on search work that moves commercial metrics. Read more about our founding philosophy and 10 core principles.
Biography
People ask AI assistants, search community forums, browse marketplaces, and navigate fragmented digital journeys.
That is why I built The Index Club: a deliberately small, senior-led search practice built around direct access, clear priorities, and real business outcomes.
The Index Club works with a maximum of 10 active brand memberships at any one time so every member gets direct, undiluted strategic attention.
