Monthly SEO Retainers

Search rankings are not static. Google updates its algorithms. Competitors improve their sites. New businesses enter local markets. A site that ranks well today can slip in six months if nothing is done to maintain and build on its position.

A monthly SEO retainer provides the consistent attention that search visibility requires. Each month covers monitoring the three numbers that matter: enquiry volume, search visibility for target terms, and site health, along with the specific work identified as the highest priority for that period. That might be improving existing content, adding new service area pages, building citations, or addressing technical issues that have appeared.

Every quarter there is a short review. Three numbers compared against the baseline. A direct conversation about what changed, what did not, and what to focus on next. No lengthy reports. No vanity metrics. Just an honest assessment of whether the work is producing results and what should happen next.

Retainers start at £75 per month for monitoring and minor updates, up to £150 per month for active content work and search development. The right level depends on how competitive the market is and how quickly the business wants to improve its position.
