SEO and AEO Retainers

A retainer is ongoing work against a baseline. Each tier publishes what is delivered every month, the prompts tracked, the pages produced, the profiles managed and the calls, because a monthly fee on its own says nothing about what you get. The AI visibility measurement that the audit establishes is re-run every month, so you can see whether the work is working.

Terms

What holds across the line

  1. 01An SEO and AI Readiness Audit comes first. Its fee is not credited; a retainer priced before anyone has seen the site is a package sale, not a strategy.
  2. 02Three-month initial term, then month to month with no cancellation fee.
  3. 03Deliverable counts are published on every tier and named in the agreement.
  4. 04You own Search Console, GA4, Google Business Profile, the content and the schema. Access is never withheld.

Choosing

How to choose

Signal is for a business that has implemented the audit roadmap itself and wants to know whether it worked: measurement, monitoring and reporting, with content production and link building explicitly excluded. Growth is the core tier, where we do the technical implementation and the pages as well as the measurement. Scale is for multi-location, ecommerce and multi-service sites that need more prompts, more competitors, more pages and fortnightly contact.

Add-on blocks attach to any tier: a content block of four additional pages, an additional location or entity, a digital PR campaign, or migration support as a project.
