Affordable Monthly SEO Retainer Packages for Small Business & SMEs

A monthly retainer is ongoing SEO support: an agreed strategy, focused on the tasks that will move your rankings. Depending on your package that can include keyword research, on-page optimisation, content, technical fixes and auditing existing pages — and you always get clear reporting on what’s been done. Work is agreed in advance each month, so there are no surprises.

We start with the findings of your free Snapshot SEO Audit and your marketing goals. Every retainer is a bespoke strategy built around your current data and what you want to achieve — not an off-the-shelf checklist. Once we agree the plan I get to work. Payment is made monthly in advance to keep things running.

SEO is a long-term strategy. Depending on your website, niche and monthly spend, you can typically expect to see meaningful results within 6–12 months. Because it takes time to build momentum, my monthly packages have a minimum 6-month sign-up (paid monthly), and ideally a 6–12 month commitment to give the strategy room to work. Slow and steady wins the race!

I work with SMEs in any industry — I’ve helped B2Bs, coaches, consumer brands, retail sites and a wide range of service providers. I work remotely on a pay monthly basis with small businesses right across the UK, and I also provide white-label SEO for web designers, marketing agencies and copywriters who deliver SEO to their own clients.

You’ll always have full visibility. I keep all relevant files and task progress on a shared Trello board, so you have access to every detail and a live task checklist at any time. Work is agreed in advance too — no secret-squirrel, no wondering what’s happening behind the scenes of your website.

I provide regular reporting on the key metrics and data — things like rankings, traffic and visibility — so you can clearly see the improvements as they happen. It’s all in plain English with no jargon, and because SEO is a long game the reporting keeps the bigger trend in view rather than just month-to-month noise.

At these rates I’m not at your beck and call every hour — instead I work away steadily on the tasks that move you toward your goals. I keep in touch and update you regularly, and the relationship works best when it’s two-way: the more you share about your business and respond when I need information, the better the results I can get for you. And if you need to pivot or change direction, that’s no problem — I adapt as your business grows.

Because I work the opposite way to the people who give SEO its bad name. No jargon you can’t follow, no mystery about what’s being done (it’s all on your Trello board), and absolutely no black hat shortcuts that put your site at risk — ever. With 20 years in digital marketing and marketing qualifications behind me, you get honest, transparent work and clear reporting, so you always know exactly what you’re paying for and the results it’s driving.
