Your price£249/month

You get keyword tracking, two on-page optimisations a month, and a monthly report that says what we did and what moved. If nothing moved, the report says that too. You raise anything you need through the portal and we come back within three working days.

Be clear about what this tier is and is not. There is no content being published and no technical fix work included at this level. It is maintenance of your position and steady improvement of existing pages. It is month to month with thirty days notice.

We advise giving it three months, because that is the shortest honest window to get groundwork done and show you real movement.

Who this is for

You are a small business that wants somebody paying attention to search without paying agency money for it. Your site is in reasonable shape, you are ranking for some things already, and you want steady improvement rather than a campaign. You are not in a competitive market where you are fighting several well-funded businesses for the same terms.

When something else fits better

If you need articles going out or technical faults fixed as they are found, this tier does not include either and the SEO Growth Retainer does. If you are in a genuinely competitive market, two on-page changes a month will not move you and you would be paying for the feeling of doing something. If your site has a specific problem rather than a general one, the SEO Audit finds it first.

Step by step.

Onboard and set up tracking

We get your account running and start tracking the keywords that matter, so there is a starting position to measure movement against.

Monthly on-page optimisations

Two existing pages a month get worked on, covering titles, descriptions, headings, content and the internal links pointing at them.

Monthly report

A short report on what we did, what moved and what is next. If nothing moved, it says so.

Then the month starts again. The same cycle runs for as long as you stay on the plan, and the report tells you what came of it.
Term
Month to month, thirty days notice. We advise giving it 3 months, because that is how long the work takes to show.

"Since the new website went live, we’ve also seen a significant improvement in organic traffic, which is exactly the type of long-term result we were hoping to achieve."

Common questions

Work on one of your existing pages to make it rank better for the terms it should own: the title and description, the headings, the content itself, the internal links pointing at it. Two a month is steady improvement of pages you already have rather than new pages being created.
Because anything shorter rarely tells you anything. Technical work shows up in weeks but ranking movement usually takes one to three months to become visible, so stopping after one month would end before either of us could tell whether it was working. It is still month to month with thirty days notice: three months is our advice, not a contract.
What we did that month, what moved, and what is next. It is deliberately short and it will tell you when nothing moved, which happens in some months and is worth knowing rather than being buried under charts.
Yes, and most people who stay do. The usual reason is wanting content published or technical fixes included, which is the step up to the SEO Growth Retainer. You are not locked to the tier you start on.
