SEO built to move rankings you can actually measure
Most SEO agencies promise the world and hand you a report full of jargon with nothing to show for it. We run SEO retainers starting at $750/mo, month-to-month with no long-term contract, and every invoice comes with a real answer to “what did you actually do this month?”
Overview
SEO the right way
You don’t need to outspend a bigger competitor to outrank them on Google. Search engines reward sites that answer the query well and load fast, regardless of company size. The catch is that most agencies skip the tedious half of the work: fixing the technical foundation, writing content that actually answers the search, and reporting on whether any of it moved a number that matters.
SEO also isn’t just Google anymore. Your next visitor might not be a person -- it could be an AI agent working on someone’s behalf, or a ChatGPT or Perplexity answer citing your site instead of sending traffic to it. The fundamentals still matter (clean structure, real answers, credibility signals), but showing up in AI Overviews and agentic search is now part of the same job. We treat it that way, and if you want the deeper cut on the AI answer-engine side specifically, our AI Visibility service goes further on it.
One thing we’ll tell you upfront during a proposal call: if your site doesn’t have enough content to work with, SEO can’t compound. Ranking pages need substance. If you’re light on service pages, location pages, or supporting content, we’ll say so straight and either fold copywriting into the retainer or recommend building the foundation first. We’d rather have that conversation before we take your money than three months in.

Why us
Why teams use us for this
We’ve watched a lot of businesses get burned by SEO before they ever talked to us. Here’s what’s different about how we run it.
- We’ve been doing SEO since 2002. It’s not a trendy add-on we bolted onto web design last year. We’ve watched multiple generations of Google algorithm updates and adjusted our approach each time.
- We own the site and the SEO together. When the same team runs your WordPress site and your SEO, fixes happen fast. No waiting on a separate agency to get access, approve a change, or explain why a fix takes three weeks.
- We report on rankings and traffic every month, with a real person explaining what moved. Not a black-box “we did SEO stuff” invoice. You get an actual conversation about what changed and why.
- If we’re not getting results after 90 days, we say so. We’d rather have that conversation early than string you along on a retainer that isn’t working.
Services
What’s included in an SEO retainer
- Keyword research and strategy. We find the searches your customers are actually typing and build a plan around the ones worth chasing.
- On-page optimization. Titles, meta descriptions, headings, and internal links, tuned so search engines and visitors both understand the page.
- Technical SEO monitoring. Crawl errors, index status, and Core Web Vitals get checked on an ongoing basis, not just once at the start.
- Monthly content production. Volume varies by tier, but every retainer includes new content built around your keyword strategy.
- Link building. Quality over quantity. We’d rather earn a handful of relevant links than pile up junk that puts your site at risk.
- GBP optimization for local SEO. Your Google Business Profile gets the same attention as your website when local search matters to your business.
- Monthly rankings and traffic report. A plain-language look at what moved, delivered by a person, not just a dashboard link.
- Quarterly strategy review. We step back every few months and check that the plan still matches your market and goals.
Process
How we run SEO engagements
SEO isn’t magic. It’s a compounding investment. 90 days is realistic for the first signs of movement, six months to see it consistently, and 12 or more months for real dominance in a competitive market. Anyone who promises faster than that is either exaggerating or picking an easy keyword that doesn’t matter to your business.
We won’t take you on if we don’t think we can win in your market. That’s not us being precious about it, that’s just how it is. Local SEO and national SEO are genuinely different disciplines: local means making sure people in your geographic market can find you (think Google Maps results and “near me” searches), while national means reaching customers anywhere in the country searching for what you sell without a location qualifier. Most businesses need one or the other, not both, and we’ll tell you which one fits during a proposal call instead of selling you the bigger package by default.
We don’t buy links or use PBNs. That kind of shortcut can tank a site overnight when Google catches up to it, and we’re not willing to gamble your rankings on it. We also track your competitors so you can see what they’re doing, what’s working for them, and where the openings are.
Timeline & investment
How it works and what it costs
SEO runs as a monthly retainer, not a one-off project. We’ll walk through your market and goals on a strategy call before quoting a real number.
How it works
- ✓Strategy call. We look at your site, your market, and your competitors before quoting anything.
- ✓90-day setup and optimizations. Technical fixes, on-page work, and the keyword strategy get built out.
- ✓Monthly cadence. Content, link building, and technical fixes continue on an ongoing schedule.
- ✓Monthly report and call. A real person walks you through rankings, traffic, and what’s next.
Investment
- ✓SEO retainers start at $750/mo. That covers keyword strategy, on-page work, technical monitoring, and reporting.
- ✓Bigger scope goes up from there. Competitive markets, national campaigns, and deeper content needs scale the price.
- ✓Fixed monthly fee. No surprise hourly billing on top of your retainer.
- ✓Month-to-month. No long-term lock-in.
- ✓Want a look before committing? Ask about our SEO audit, starting at $1,500.
Is this right for you?
Who an SEO retainer is (and isn’t) a fit for
We’d rather turn down a bad fit than sell you the wrong thing. Here’s the straight cut.
You’re a fit if
- ✓Your site’s technically sound but rankings aren’t moving
- ✓You’re a local service business or B2B firm competing on Google
- ✓You’ve been burned by agencies who couldn’t explain what they did each month
- ✓You want to know the exact keywords and rankings you’re winning and losing
- ✓You’re patient enough to invest six or more months in real results
You probably don’t need this if
- ✗You need paid traffic tomorrow (SEO is a compounding investment, PPC or LSA gets you speed)
- ✗Your niche is too narrow to have real search volume
- ✗You’re an e-commerce store (we’re not the right shop for pure e-commerce SEO)
- ✗You want a one-off “SEO fix” instead of an ongoing program (start with our audit instead)
If that’s you, we’ll say so on our first call. No hard sell.
Good to know
FAQs
How long until I see results?
90 days is realistic for the first signs of movement, six months to see it consistently, and 12 or more months for real dominance in a competitive market. SEO is a compounding investment, not a switch you flip.
What’s the difference between local and national SEO?
Local SEO means making sure people in your geographic market can find you, think Google Maps results and “near me” searches. National SEO means reaching customers anywhere in the country searching for what you sell without a location qualifier. Most businesses need one or the other, not both, and we’ll tell you which fits during a proposal call.
What if I have an SEO agency already?
That’s fine. We can start with an audit to see where things stand, no obligation to switch. If you do want to move over, we’ll handle the transition.
Do I need to buy content on top of the retainer?
Monthly content production is already part of the retainer, with volume varying by tier. If your strategy calls for more than your tier includes, we’ll tell you straight and quote it separately through our copywriting service.
Do you offer a guarantee?
No, and anyone who guarantees a Google ranking isn’t being straight with you. What we do promise is honesty: if we’re not getting results after 90 days, we’ll say so instead of stringing you along on a retainer that isn’t working.
