SEO retainers

SEO, measured

Page 1 for the keywords that matter. Tracked in Ahrefs, reviewed quarterly

Two plans

Deliverable-based, not activity-based.

SEO runs as an add-on retainer alongside any hosting plan or marketing retainer. Every month you can see what was done, what moved, and what's next.

The goal, stated plainly.

Page 1 for your agreed target keywords is the goal we manage towards and review quarterly. It is never a contractual guarantee, because nobody controls Google, and anyone who guarantees rankings is telling you what you want to hear. We agree the keyword targets with you up front, and every quarter we review progress against them.

The honest timeline.

The realistic horizon for meaningful ranking movement is 6 to 12 months. Technical fixes land in the first weeks and often produce early wins; competitive keywords take sustained work. If someone promises page 1 in 30 days, ask them which of their tactics they'd be comfortable explaining to Google.

How progress is tracked.

Everything is tracked and reported through Ahrefs: your rank positions, traffic, and the keyword targets we agreed. You get a monthly ranking and traffic report, so progress is visible, not vibes.

Who can add SEO.

SEO is sold as an add-on to any hosting or marketing client. It builds on a site we can actually change: fixing technical issues and optimising pages needs deploy access, which is exactly what those engagements give us.
