SEO retainer
SEO that chases leads — not slide decks for their own sake
Priorities by leverage: what to fix in the crawl layer, which URLs to strengthen, and what content closes demand — for US/INTL English SERPs and adjacent markets, under contract.
Three monthly tiers with prices, horizon and geography notes without repeating the cards, three delivery phases, and FAQ for procurement.
SEO retainer tiers
Start — stabilize the base and ship steady content, Optimum — deeper plan and more output, Premium — strategy plus queue priority. Task mix follows audit and first contact.

Horizon and focus
Horizon
Sustainable results usually assume at least a 3-month horizon in scope and reporting.
Focus
Technical, content, and IA moves in one narrative tied to leads — not vanity visibility alone.
Markets
English-first B2B (US and international) plus BY/EU contexts where it fits the niche.
How the retainer runs
Diagnostics
Indexing, speed, priority URLs, conversion — ranked into a working queue.
Execution
On-site changes and content against the agreed cluster map; volume matches the tier.
Compounding
Internal links, funnel fixes, and tuning from analytics and lead quality.
Before we start
Time-to-signal, starting without a full rebuild, metrics, and multi-engine reality.
When do we see movement?
Often 4–8 weeks after priority fixes ship; depends on niche and starting health. Why IA beats “page volume” — SEO architecture article.
Can we start without rebuilding the whole site?
Yes: remove critical blockers, strengthen money pages, and run a content plan. If a new front-end is needed later, the Next.js build track plugs into the analytics and IA you already gathered.
How is impact measured?
Rankings, visibility, organic sessions, on-target URL behavior, and lead quality — together. Objective pre-launch bar — acceptance checklist and technical acceptance article.
Google + Bing/Yandex-style engines at once?
One IA/content spine with tweaks where engines diverge. For multilingual/export plays see indexable locales article.
Want more qualified leads from search?
Form: name, phone, site — add context in the reply thread. You get priorities and a 30-day plan. Tier guidance maps to the cards above.
