Monthly Retainer FAQs
What is included in a monthly SEO retainer?
I’ve shared some elements above but the specific actions will depend on things like the current state of your site, your tailored SEO strategy, and more. You can also expect to receive email support, monthly meetings to check in and consult on strategy, and monthly reports.
How do you measure the success of SEO campaigns?
There are a few different metrics that you should be tracking over time to build up a fuller picture of how your SEO is working. Those include; keyword rankings, organic traffic, behaviour metrics, and conversions.
What is your reporting and communication process?
I use a custom Notion dashboard for clients where I will share all strategy work, working docs, meetings notes, and more. On top of this there’s regular email communication, weekly or monthly Zoom meetings, and monthly reporting. This ensures a transparent and collaborative way of working.
How much does a monthly SEO retainer cost?
Pricing normally ranges from £500 – £2,500 per month but this depends on the scope of the project.
Has your website got the SEO fundamentals in place already? How competitive are your target search terms? Do you want a done DFY or DWY approach?
Do you offer any guarantees on results?
The short answer here is no. And I wouldn’t trust any SEO consultants or agencies who calim to guarantee a number 1 ranking result.
How do you stay up-to-date with search engine algorithm changes?
Getting updates direct from the horse’s mouth is a great start with Google Search Central. I also subscribe to many great podcasts, blogs, and newsletters where world-class experts in SEO share more insights and different perspectives on the changes.
