Which SEO package suits you?
Most people choose by how competitive their market is and how much ground they'd like to cover.
Starter, for getting going
Starter suits tradespeople, sole traders and brand new websites. You get one article a week around your main key phrase, which gives your website a steady rhythm.
Growth, for steady visibility
Growth is our most popular plan. Twice as many articles and 3 tracked key phrases help you cover more of your services, and Generative Engine Optimisation helps AI tools such as ChatGPT recommend you.
Pro, for businesses serious about search
Pro suits businesses with more services, more areas or more competition. You get 3 articles a week, 10 tracked key phrases and the most backlinks, so you can cover far more ground.
Not sure which one fits? The free scan looks at your website first, so you can decide with your best search terms in front of you.
How to choose an SEO package
A few honest questions will point you to the right plan. You don't need to be an SEO expert to answer them.
- How many services do you want to be found for? One main service suits Starter. Several services, or several towns, usually need Growth or Pro.
- How busy is your market? If the same competitors fill page one, more articles each week help you cover more ground.
- Do you want help with AI search? Generative Engine Optimisation comes with Growth and Pro, and our post on getting cited by ChatGPT explains how it works.
- Would you like us to host your website? Growth and Pro include free website hosting worth £19.99 a month.
You can start on one plan and upgrade later, and we're happy to help you choose. Our guide to tracking your keyword rankings explains how to judge progress once you've started.
What a month looks like on each package
Here's roughly what lands on your website, and in your dashboard, each month.
Starter
About 4 articles a month, 2 backlinks and 1 key phrase checked every week. A steady rhythm for one main service.
Growth
About 8 articles a month, 3 backlinks and 3 key phrases checked every week, plus GEO to help AI tools recommend you.
Pro
About 12 articles a month, 4 backlinks and 10 key phrases checked every week. Room to cover every service and area you offer.
What's in every package
Every plan comes with the same core work, so you're never left without the basics.
- Articles for the searches your customers make. Tailored to your business, in UK English and with images.
- Automatic publishing. We publish to WordPress, Shopify and Wix, and for other platforms we can host an SEO blog for you.
- Backlinks built for you. There's nothing for you to do.
- A Google ranking graph. You can see how your key phrases are moving each week.
- A free website audit worth £49. It shows the issues that could be holding your site back.

Monthly SEO services vs agency packages
Agency packages and our plans do a similar job in different ways. An agency gives you people and meetings, while we give you consistent work at a fixed price.
| Auto-SEO plans | Typical agency package | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | We do | The agency does |
| What sets the price | Your plan | The hours and scope you agree |
| Personal strategy meetings | Not included | Usually included |
| Tracking | Weekly, in your dashboard | Usually a monthly report |
| Contract | No contracts | Varies by agency |

Five questions to ask any SEO provider
Whoever you choose, these questions help you compare like with like.
- What exactly do I get each month? You should be able to count it, such as articles, backlinks and tracked key phrases.
- Who owns the content? With us, the articles published on your website are yours to keep.
- Is there a contract? Our plans have no contracts, so you can cancel anytime.
- How will I see progress? We check your key phrases every week and show them on a Google ranking graph.
- Do you guarantee rankings? Be wary of anyone who says yes. No one can promise a position on Google.

Can I change my package later?
Yes. You can upgrade if you'd like more work done each month, and we're happy to help you choose.
