Monthly

SEO Growth Retainer

$1,500 – $3,500/moMonthly engagement. Tier set by scope after your discovery call.
What this is

Search is not a project. It is a practice.

You fixed your search once, then watched it slide back. That is normal. Rankings move, competitors react, and engines change how they answer, so a one time push fades. This retainer keeps the work compounding month over month, with strategy, content, technical upkeep, and AI visibility tracking handled together rather than in separate boxes. You get a partner who owns the outcome, not a vendor who ships tasks.

What's included

The full search practice, run monthly.

Everything in the Audit

We start from a complete diagnostic and roadmap, then execute against it every month.

Monthly strategy sessions

A working session each month to review results, adjust priorities, and plan the next push.

Content production

Two to four optimized pieces per month, built to win search and get picked up in AI answers.

Technical upkeep

Ongoing care of the technical foundation so fixed problems stay fixed and new ones get caught early.

AI visibility tracking

Continuous tracking of how you appear in AI answers and who is being cited alongside you.

Monthly progress updates, quarterly results review

A monthly update on what shipped and the early signals, plus a full results review each quarter, measured against a dated baseline.

Outreach that earns mentions and links

Earning the independent, on topic mentions and links that build your authority and get you named.

How it works

A monthly rhythm that compounds.

STEP 1

Plan

Each month opens with a strategy session that sets priorities against the roadmap and the latest results.

STEP 2

Produce

We create and publish optimized content and ship the technical work for the month.

STEP 3

Earn

Outreach that earns outside mentions and links builds the authority engines reward.

STEP 4

Report

Each month closes with a progress update. Every quarter, a full results review against baseline.

Why it is different

Owned outcomes, not shipped tasks.

A retainer is only worth it if someone is accountable for where you end up, not just for what got done. We run the whole practice as one system, traditional search and AI visibility together, so the work reinforces itself instead of pulling in different directions.

Who it is for

Built for brands committed to compounding.

  • Businesses that want steady search growth handled by a partner, not patched between other priorities.
  • Brands that have an audit or roadmap and need consistent execution against it.
  • Teams that want traditional SEO and AI visibility managed together, not in separate boxes.
  • Owners who value clear monthly reporting and a real strategist on call.
Questions

Common questions

Is there a contract or minimum?

Search compounds over months, so the retainer is built for a real runway rather than a single month. We recommend a three month initial commitment, then month to month. Term and tier are set during the discovery call.

What sets the tier?

Scope. Content volume, technical workload, competitiveness of your category, and how much outreach the work requires move you within the range. We scope it honestly after discovery.

Do I need the audit first?

The retainer includes the audit work, so you can start here. If you already have a recent audit from us, we pick up from it directly.

How does this relate to AI Search Positioning?

The retainer tracks AI visibility and feeds it through content and links. The dedicated corroboration work that earns and holds a category position lives in the AI Search Positioning offer, which pairs well with a retainer.
