Is there a setup fee?⌄
No. The first month covers the audit, strategy and roadmap alongside the first execution work — it is billed at the standard retainer rate.
What's the minimum commitment?⌄
Three months, which is the shortest period in which search work can be fairly judged. After that it is rolling monthly with 30 days' notice.
Are link costs included in the retainer?⌄
Yes. Outreach, campaign production and placement work are all inside the retainer. If a publication requires a disclosed editorial fee, we ask you first.
Can we combine a design project with a retainer?⌄
Absolutely, and it is the most effective combination. Clients on a Growth or Scale retainer receive 10% off a concurrent design project.
Do you work with agencies on white-label terms?⌄
We do, for SEO and link building. Ask us for the partner rate card on your first call.
