The Pro SEO Retainer delivers a higher-volume, faster-velocity SEO programme at £2,195/mo. More content, more authority building, and foundational link building every month. Six-month minimum. Everything managed directly by your dedicated consultant.

Most agencies should start with K60, the fixed-price 60-day sprint that proves the work before any retainer commitment. If you already know you want an ongoing programme, this is where it continues.

Our 60-day guarantee

Every engagement starts with K60, our fixed-price 60-day sprint. If your agreed target pages show no ranking gain by day 60, we keep working them at no extra cost until they do. You prove the results in your own Search Console before you commit to any monthly fee.

Key Takeaways

For £2,195/mo your agency gets the Core Retainer programme scaled up: more content built every month, more pages optimised, a foundational link building campaign, and a faster push towards page one.
The Pro Retainer suits agencies competing against established national players, recovering from a long period of low visibility, or needing inbound from search within three to four months rather than five to six.
Most Pro Retainer clients see competitive rankings on primary commercial terms within three to four months and sustained inbound from search from month five.

What the Pro Retainer does differently

The Pro Retainer runs the same monthly cycle as the Core but at higher volume. Where the Core fixes three pages, the Pro fixes four to five. Where the Core builds one content cluster, the Pro builds one to two. Blog and landing page output increases to three to five of each. The Pro adds a foundational link-building campaign, which the Core programme does not include.

SEO compounds. An agency producing more content, fixing more underperforming pages, and earning foundational links each month builds ranking momentum significantly faster than one at Core volume. Most Pro clients reach competitive rankings on primary commercial terms within three to four months, compared to five to six on the Core Retainer.

What additional deliverables does the Pro Retainer include over the Core?

Page optimisation covers four to five pages rather than three. Content cluster builds cover one to two per month rather than one. Blog content and landing pages increase to three to five of each. The monthly data review adds AI prompt testing to confirm whether your agency is being cited correctly in AI search results. The Core programme includes no link building; the Pro adds a foundational link-building campaign.

Why does the Pro Retainer produce results faster than the Core?

More content clusters per month means more authority signals reaching Google faster. More pages optimised per month means underperforming pages recover faster. Foundational links per month means the domain authority ceiling rises faster. All three compound together. The Pro Retainer produces the same results as the Core in less time.

When is the Pro Retainer the right choice over the Core?

The Pro Retainer is right when your agency competes directly against established players with strong search presence, when you need to close a visibility gap quickly, or when commercial targets require inbound from search within three to four months. If the Core timeline is acceptable and your competitive landscape is manageable at that pace, start with the Core.

What it means for your business

The higher monthly output means search starts delivering qualified hiring manager enquiries and candidate applications sooner and at greater volume than the Core produces in the same timeframe. Agencies that come through K60 first continue on a retainer at a preferential rate, so the sprint pays back into the ongoing programme.

Agencies who want predictive positioning in emerging markets should see the Elite Retainer at £3,495/mo. Agencies at an earlier stage should start with the Core Retainer at £1,495/mo. After six months cancel with 30 days' notice.

Everything produced belongs to your agency. No exit fees.

 

 

FAQ

Most Pro Retainer clients reach competitive rankings on primary commercial terms within three to four months. Core Retainer clients typically reach the same positions within five to six months. The difference compounds over a full year: a Pro client after 12 months has built significantly more authority and domain strength than a Core client starting at the same baseline.
