what we deliver

three engagements, each with a defined boundary and a fixed invoice

a full diagnostic of crawlability, indexation, and on-page health, delivered as a prioritized fix list scored by effort versus impact. we read your log files before we open a single keyword tool — most ranking problems live in the render path, not the content.

  • keyword cannibalization & internal-link map
  • schema & structured-data validation

before you scope

the questions saas teams ask first

do i have to start with the audit?

no. the audit is the most common entry point because it isolates whether your problem is technical, structural, or content-quality before you spend on production. but if your crawl is healthy and you already know your gaps, you can begin on the strategy retainer or full engine directly.

how fast will i see movement?

technical fixes and optimization of existing pages typically register in 6–10 weeks. net-new cluster authority compounds over 4–6 months. we report leading indicators — index coverage, impressions, average position — every month, so progress is visible long before traffic curves up.

who actually writes the content?

subject specialists who can read your documentation and write to a technical audience — the same pool every month, not a rotating freelancer marketplace. each draft is edited for accuracy against your product before it reaches your CMS.

is there a minimum commitment?

retainers run month to month with 30 days' notice to cancel. we ask for a realistic horizon up front because organic compounds slowly — but you're never locked into a long contract, and the audit is a clean one-time deliverable with no strings.

do you guarantee a #1 ranking?

no honest SEO will. we commit to deliverables — the audit fix list, the keyword architecture, the published pieces — and to transparent reporting on outcomes. anyone guaranteeing a position is either ignoring the algorithm or planning to break the guidelines.
