01Starting point

Known priorities. Steady implementation.

Choose ongoing work when the site keeps changing and the next fixes are understood. Start with a diagnosis when they are not.

  1. 01Monthly SEO maintenanceOne website, an agreed work queue, implementation, verification, and a monthly record. Capacity and exclusions are confirmed before work begins.from$2,000per month
  2. 02SEO auditWhen the cause is unclear: a technical and on-page review, prioritized findings, and a roadmap. Implementation is separate.$750fixed scope

No lock-in: cancel any month if ongoing work no longer fits. A migration, architecture rebuild, high-volume content production, or link acquisition needs a separate search visibility project.

02Fit check

The site keeps changing. The fixes need to keep up.

Maintenance fits recurring work on one website. A stable site with no useful queue may only need a one-time review.

  • Good fitNew pages, products, or locations create recurring technical and on-page tasks.
  • Good fitAn audit or previous review has already identified the priorities.
  • Good fitThe changes need consistent implementation and a record of what was checked.

03Monthly scope

Four work areas. One agreed queue.

The mix follows the current priority. These are possible work areas, not a package that includes every task every month.

01crawl · canonical · redirect

Technical upkeep

Selected indexing, canonical, redirect, sitemap, and broken-link fixes, checked on the affected URLs after implementation.

02title · heading · links

On-page improvements

Titles, descriptions, headings, internal links, and structured data on the pages agreed for that month.

03existing pages · local signals

Focused page updates

Improve existing priority pages. Profile details, listing consistency, reviews, and local pages can join the queue when local work is explicitly scoped.

04changes · data · next step

Checks and reporting

Review indexing alongside Search Console clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position. Record completed work, open issues, and the next decision.

04The monthly cycle

Agree, implement, verify, review.

Each step leaves a record you keep, even if you later take the work to your own team. New requests are weighed against the agreed capacity; a separate project is decided before the scope expands.

  1. 01Agree the queue

    Confirm the priority pages, tasks, capacity, and access needed for the work.

    You get: a prioritized backlog with affected URLs or templates, responsible roles and acceptance checks.

  2. 02Implement

    Complete the agreed fixes and record the changed pages, templates, or rules.

    You get: before/after records for completed work.

  3. 03Verify the change

    Check affected URLs and the relevant technical signals after release.

    You get: live-page checks, and visible blockers for anything unfinished.

  4. 04Review and reprioritize

    Compare relevant search data, explain what remains open, and choose the next useful work.

    You get: a change log beside Search Console trends, and next month's priorities.

Search Console read access supports reporting. Any CMS or code access needed for implementation is agreed separately for the specific work.

05Example monthly record

See the work, the check, and the next decision.

The report connects completed changes to affected URLs and relevant search data. A completed fix and a search outcome are recorded separately.
