SEO Retainers for Recruitment Agencies
Most recruitment agencies approach SEO like a project with an end date - run an audit, fix a few pages, then wait for leads to appear.
But real, lasting visibility doesn’t work that way. Search and AI evolve constantly, and staying visible means staying active.
A Kaizen SEO Retainer gives your agency consistent, compounding growth. Each plan builds on the last - fixing technical issues, strengthening authority, and improving AI-readiness month after month. Whether you need light-touch support, structured growth, or market dominance, there’s a Kaizen retainer built for your stage.
Key Takeaways

- Every plan focuses on four pillars: technical excellence, authority-building, AI-readiness, and transparency.
- You gain measurable ROI - lower cost-per-acquisition, stronger visibility, and consistent lead flow.

How To Get Started with a Kaizen SEO Retainer
- Book an initial consultation. We’ll review your current organic visibility, technical setup, and AI-readiness.

Why It Matters
An SEO retainer isn’t another marketing cost - it’s an investment in your agency’s most valuable asset: digital visibility that compounds over time.
Because the real cost isn’t the retainer - it’s the price of standing still while your competitors accelerate.
FAQs
Q: How is a retainer different from a one-off SEO project?
A: A one-off project fixes short-term issues. A retainer builds sustainable visibility that compounds over time, protecting your rankings, authority, and lead flow from constant algorithm and AI changes.
Q: What will I actually get each month?
A: You’ll receive ongoing technical fixes, content optimisation, schema updates, internal linking improvements, and link-building tasks - all tied to performance goals and tracked transparently in your monthly report.
Q: How long before I see results?
A: Most clients begin to see measurable traction within 8–12 weeks, with stronger, compounding gains after six months as authority builds.
Q: Do you offer flexible retainers?
A: Yes. Kaizen SEO offers tiered retainers to match your agency’s size and goals - from focused technical sprints to full-scale AI-ready visibility programmes.
Q: How do you measure ROI?
A: We go beyond rankings. You’ll see direct impact in applications, client enquiries, visibility across AI Overviews, and reduced reliance on paid channels.
If your recruitment website isn’t generating consistent leads, the problem isn’t visibility- it’s strategy. Search and AI have changed how candidates and clients find you.
Kaizen SEO’s Retainer Plans fix that by turning your site into a compounding growth engine built for how search works now - not how it used to.
