A better alternative to Full-time in-house SEO hire
An SEO team on a monthly plan covering technical fixes, content and local search, with developers on hand to ship the changes.
What Full-time in-house SEO hire costs you
$4,200 – $14,400 / year, every year
- Technical SEO fixed by developers, not just reported
- Content planned, written and published
- Local search and Google Business Profile
- No hiring, tool costs or notice periods
- Plain-English monthly reporting
The recurring cost
Hiring a full-time SEO specialist means a monthly salary plus paid research tools, training and management time. One person also rarely covers everything SEO needs: technical fixes, content, local listings and link building. Many of their recommendations then wait in a queue because they need a developer to implement.
What we build instead
We provide SEO as a monthly service from a team that also builds websites, so recommendations become shipped changes rather than reports.
- Technical SEO: site speed, indexing, structured data and clean site architecture, fixed by developers.
- Content: a plan built on what your customers search for, with pages written and published for you.
- Local search: Google Business Profile and local listings for businesses that serve specific cities.
- Clear reporting: rankings, traffic and leads in a monthly review you can actually read.
What it costs and how long it takes
SEO runs as a monthly retainer, scoped to your goals, market and the amount of content each month should cover. There is no recruiting, no tool subscriptions on your side and no notice period if your needs change. SEO results build over months, not weeks, and we set expectations on that from the first call. See pricing for our build packages if your site needs work first.
When to keep renting
If search is your main growth channel and you publish at high volume every week, an in-house SEO lead can be the right investment. They know your product deeply and sit in every planning meeting. In that case we can support them with engineering, so their recommendations get built quickly.
