SEO that compounds

One off SEO fades. The businesses sitting above you have been at it for two years. Monthly work, a clear plan and reporting you can actually read.

Why one off SEO stops working

A one off project fixes the state of your site on one particular day. Everything around it keeps moving.

Competitors keep publishing

They add pages every month. A site that stopped two years ago slides down without anything going wrong.

Google keeps changing

Algorithm updates, new result formats, AI answers. What worked in 2023 is not what works now.

Sites decay

Plugins break, pages slow down, links rot, redirects get lost in rebuilds. Nobody notices until the traffic drops.

The easy wins run out

The first month is the technical fixes. After that it is content and consistency, which is exactly what one off projects skip.

What a retainer covers

The same disciplines every month, weighted towards whatever will move you fastest.

New content

Service pages, location pages and articles, written properly and aimed at terms you can win.

Technical maintenance

Speed, crawling, indexing, redirects and Core Web Vitals, watched rather than audited once.

On page improvement

Existing pages rewritten and relinked as the data shows what is close to breaking through.

Local signals

Profile work, citations and reviews, since that is where most local enquiries come from.

Rank tracking

Tracked monthly, by area where it matters, so movement is visible rather than claimed.

Monthly reporting

What we did, what moved, what is next. Written so you can read it without translating it.

Most of the businesses on a retainer look like this one. Local, well run, and losing work to competitors who are simply easier to find.

How a retainer runs

1

Month one

Full audit, the technical fixes, and a twelve month plan with the first ninety days in detail.

2

Months two to six

Content and on page work, local signals built up, movement tracked and the plan adjusted.

3

Months six to twelve

The compounding part. Pages gain authority, rankings firm up, enquiries become steadier.

4

Ongoing

Defend what you have won, go after the next tier of terms, and keep the site healthy.

What you get that you will not get elsewhere

Not because it is clever, but because most agencies do not bother.

  • The same person every month. No account manager between you and whoever is doing the work.
  • Reports in English. No forty page PDF of charts nobody reads. What we did, what moved, what is next.
  • Work you can see. Every change is logged. You can check what you paid for.
  • An honest stop date. If a market is not worth your budget, we will say so rather than bill you for another year.
  • No lock in. Monthly, one month of notice. The work keeps you, not the paperwork.
  • The website included. Fixes to the site are part of the plan rather than a separate invoice.

Retainers

All monthly, all with a month of notice.

Local SEO

From £397 a month

One town or city. Profile, local content, on page work and reporting.

Growth SEO

From £597 a month

Competitive markets or several areas. More content and more technical work each month.

Website and SEO plan

From £397 a month

The build and the monthly SEO together, so the site and the work to promote it arrive as one payment.

Also worth knowing: a care plan from £69 a month keeps the site itself fast, backed up and secure while the SEO does its job.

Retainer questions

How long should I commit for?

Think in twelve months, commit monthly. SEO compounds, so leaving after two months wastes what you spent, but you should never be contractually trapped.

What happens if I stop?

Your rankings do not vanish overnight, they erode as competitors keep publishing. Everything we built stays yours.

Can I pause for a few months?

Yes, though it is usually cheaper to continue at a smaller scope than to stop and restart.

Do you work on sites you did not build?

Yes, most retainer clients came with an existing site. If the build is the bottleneck we will tell you.

What if I only need the technical fixes?

Then we will quote that as a one off and tell you honestly whether a retainer would add anything.

How do I know it is working?

Rankings, traffic and enquiries are reported monthly against where you started, and enquiries are the number that matters.
