SEO Services — From $750/month

SEO Driven by
Data. Not Guesswork.

Most SEO agencies write content, build links, and send you a PDF at the end of the month. We connect your SEO directly to your paid search data, run content and reporting through automated workflows, and use AI to identify the gaps and opportunities that manual analysis misses.

The Problem

Why Most SEO Retainers Deliver Less Than They Should

SEO agencies tend to work in silos. They don't talk to your paid search team. They don't connect to your analytics properly. And the monthly report — if there is one — tells you what happened but not why, and certainly not what to do next.

Copy written in isolation

Meta titles and descriptions get written once, based on instinct, and never revisited. No data on whether anyone actually clicked them — or why they didn't.

Static PDF reports

A monthly document arrives with traffic numbers and position changes. No live view of what's happening right now. No drill-down. No connection to revenue.

Manual everything

Rank checks, content audits, GSC pulls — all done manually, which means they happen infrequently, incompletely, and at the speed of a human with too many other clients.

How It Works

Three Things That Make This SEO Service Different

AI Throughout the Strategy Layer

AI doesn't replace the strategy — it compresses the time it takes to get to useful insights. We use LLM-assisted analysis for keyword clustering (grouping hundreds of keywords by intent rather than just volume), competitive SERP analysis (what the top-ranking pages are doing that yours isn't), and content gap identification across your site and your competitors' sites simultaneously.

Where you're also running Google Ads, we pull RSA asset-level CTR data — which descriptions and headlines are getting clicked most in your paid campaigns — and use that as the testing ground for your SEO meta copy. Your Google Ads campaign tests four description angles against real searchers at the same time. When one wins, it goes into your organic listing. Read more about how this works →

Keyword clustering

Intent-based grouping at scale — not just volume sorting

Content gap analysis

What your competitors rank for that you don't — prioritised by opportunity

Meta copy testing

RSA CTR data from Google Ads informs organic title and description decisions

Reporting You Can Actually Use

Monthly SEO reports aren't PDFs. They're live Looker Studio dashboards with a direct connection to Google Search Console, GA4, and your rank tracking data. You can open them any time — not just when a report lands in your inbox — and drill into whatever you want to understand.

The dashboard is built around the questions you actually need answered: which pages are gaining or losing position, which keywords are converting, where CTR is underperforming versus ranking position (a gap between rank and CTR is almost always a meta copy issue), and whether organic traffic is producing leads or just visits.

What's in every monthly report

Organic traffic trend vs. prior period and prior year
Keyword position changes — top movers and losers
GSC impressions, clicks, and CTR by page
Core Web Vitals status and flagged issues
Pages with rank vs. CTR gaps (meta copy opportunities)
Organic conversion data from GA4 (goals, events, form fills)
New keyword opportunities identified by AI gap analysis
Work completed this month and priorities for next month

Automated Workflows That Run Between Our Sessions

The gap between monthly SEO check-ins is where most retainers fall apart. Technical issues appear and go unnoticed for weeks. Rankings drop and nobody flags it. A key page loses its indexation and nothing happens until the next report.

We close that gap with automated monitoring workflows built in n8n or Make.com. These run continuously in the background, alerting when something needs attention — not when we happen to check. See our workflow automation service →

Ranking drop alerts

Automated checks on your key terms — significant position drops trigger an alert so we can investigate immediately, not at end of month

Crawl error monitoring

GSC coverage errors, indexation issues, and 404s flagged automatically — we see them the same day Google does

Content opportunity pipeline

Scheduled AI-assisted gap analysis runs against your competitor set and surfaces new content targets — delivered as a prioritised brief, not a raw keyword dump

RSA → meta copy sync (quarterly)

Automated pull of winning RSA description CTR data from Google Ads — flagged for review and applied to organic meta tags on the next cycle

Scope is sized to what you actually need: site size, content volume, and reporting complexity all factor in. We don't sell packages with features you won't use. Get in touch with where you are now and what you're trying to achieve — we'll tell you exactly what makes sense and what it would cost.

When SEO and Google Ads Run Together

The Two Channels Work Better When They Share Data

When we manage both your SEO and your Google Ads, data flows in both directions. Your RSA description CTR data informs your organic meta copy (so your headlines are tested before they go live in organic). Your organic rankings inform which keywords need paid support and which don't (so you're not bidding on terms you already dominate for free). Your conversion tracking is consistent across both channels so ROAS and organic ROI are measured the same way.

The result is a paid and organic strategy that reinforces itself rather than running in parallel with no connection — which is how most businesses run their search marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does SEO cost?

Our SEO retainer starts at $750/month. The exact scope depends on site size, the volume of content work required, and how much reporting automation is needed. We don't do vanity-metric SEO — pricing reflects real deliverables with measurable targets.

How does AI fit into your SEO service?

We use AI for keyword clustering (grouping by intent rather than just volume), content gap identification, competitive SERP analysis, and drafting content briefs. Where you're running Google Ads, we also use RSA asset-level CTR data to inform which meta descriptions and titles go into your organic listings — so you're applying real click data rather than guesswork.

Do you need to manage our Google Ads to run SEO?

No. We can run SEO as a standalone service. The RSA data pull for meta copy testing works read-only. That said, the results are meaningfully better when both channels are coordinated — paid data informs organic decisions, and organic rankings reduce the keywords you need to bid on. It's worth having a conversation about whether running both together makes sense for your situation.

How long before SEO starts working?

Honestly, it depends on where you're starting from. Technical fixes and meta copy improvements can show results in 4–8 weeks in Search Console. Content-led ranking growth typically takes 3–6 months to register meaningfully. We'll tell you what's realistic for your specific site and not make promises that don't hold up to scrutiny.

What does the monthly reporting look like?

A live Looker Studio dashboard you can open any time, plus a written monthly summary covering what happened, why, and what we're prioritising next. Reports connect directly to your Google Search Console and GA4 — no static PDFs, no data that's already outdated by the time it reaches you.

Do you write the content as well, or just the strategy?

Both options are available. The base retainer includes content briefs — detailed specifications for what each piece of content needs to cover, target keywords, angle, and structure. Content writing is available as an add-on. For many clients, especially those with subject matter expertise on their team, the brief approach produces better content than outsourcing the writing entirely.
