SEO services. Judged on enquiries.

Because you can check this one. Most SEO retainers are unfalsifiable by design: the report shows rankings for terms nobody searches and traffic that was arriving anyway. Ours reports the two numbers that decide whether it worked, which are qualified enquiries and the searches that produced them, pulled from Search Console and your own contact form rather than a dashboard we control. If those numbers do not move over a quarter you will see it before we tell you, and you can leave on thirty days notice.

Search Console and your own enquiry data, monthly, in plain English. Rankings get shown because they are a leading indicator, but they are never the headline. The headline is how many people found you for something they wanted to buy, and how many of them got in touch. Procon 24/7 is the clearest example we have: quote requests up 37% within two weeks of launch, and four years on the numbers still hold.

That is your choice, and it is the only choice. There is one term and it is the same one on every page: on Flexible you pay the launch fee, there is no minimum at all, and you give 30 days' notice in any month owing nothing. On Committed we waive that fee and you commit for 12 months, at which point the site becomes yours outright. The fee buys the right to leave; the term is what pays for waiving it. And either way, if your enquiries have not beaten your own starting number by day 90, you leave owing nothing and keep the site.

Honestly, it splits in two. Fixing pages you are already close on can move inside four to eight weeks, because the pages exist and Google already knows about them. Winning terms you have no visibility for at all takes six months upwards, and longer on a young domain. Anyone promising page one in thirty days on a competitive term is either lucky or lying. On the audit call we tell you which of your targets are the quick ones and which are the long game, before you pay anything.

Sometimes, and we say so even though it is the more expensive answer for you. If the site is slow, unreadable on a phone, or built so new pages cannot be added, retainer spend leaks straight back out of it. If the site is structurally sound and simply under-optimised, which is the more common case, a rebuild would be waste and the retainer is the right spend. The free audit exists to tell the two apart.

The entry level of it is already inside the membership rather than a separate bill: your Google Business Profile run properly and local SEO across the towns you cover are in the price of the site. If you need more ground than that, there are two higher levels, and what they cost depends on how much of your market you are going after. We put the figure in writing on the audit call before you commit to anything. There is no setup fee, and no term beyond the one you are already on.

Yes, three levels. Across the UK market small business SEO packages run roughly £300 to £1,500 a month, with anything under about £250 usually buying a report rather than work, and the top of the range usually buying account management. Ours are tiered by how much ground you are covering rather than by how many "deliverables" get listed: the entry level sits inside the membership itself, and the two above it widen the target list. Every tier is the same hands on the work, with thirty days notice and no setup fee.

Yes, and for a local service business it is usually the highest-value part of the work. Google Business Profile optimisation, review generation, local schema and citation consistency all sit inside the retainer. Being straight about the map pack: those three results at the top are weighted heavily towards proximity and review volume, so a competitor with premises in the town centre and 200 reviews holds an advantage no amount of on-page work erases. We tell you where you can realistically win before you commit.

Yes, and it is a different job worth pricing as one. Ecommerce SEO lives or dies on category and product pages, on structured data, and on not letting a thousand near-identical variant URLs eat the crawl budget, none of which a service-business retainer spends time on. We build WooCommerce stores as well, so an ecommerce SEO agency here is the same people who know how the store is put together. If your store is on Shopify or another platform we did not build, that is fine, it just changes what we can reach.

On-page SEO is everything on the page itself: titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal links, the content answering what people actually searched, schema, and page speed. It is the half of SEO you fully control, which is why an on-page SEO service is a sensible first purchase when budget is tight. We do sell it as a one-off audit and fix rather than a retainer, and we will tell you honestly when the constraint is off-page instead, because on this site's own numbers that is usually where the real limit sits.

Possibly, and that is a real answer rather than a modest one. If nobody searches for what you sell, SEO is the wrong channel and we will point you at a better one instead of taking a retainer for it. If people do search for it, size is not the barrier: a sole trader ranking across one town beats a national brand that ignored local search. We check the actual search volume for your services and your area before recommending anything.
