Your SEO department without the overheads
About SEO services
READY STEADY SEO offers Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) services tailored for small and medium size businesses for WordPress-based websites only. You have probably noticed that other companies or individuals offer SEO packages and are probably wondering why we do not. Since everything we do is bespoke, we cannot offer any kind of packages. Everything we do is tailored to the specific needs of our clients. Some might need a better on-site optimisation, implementation of rich snippets (or structured data), while others might need a content marketing strategy.
If you are in the process of developing or redeveloping your website, then 100 links and 2,000 social bookmarks won’t make a difference; what you need is guidance to have SEO best practices built in. No two clients’ needs are the same.
Fees
Our hourly rate starts from £35/h and we do not work for projects requiring less than 14 hours per month. That means our minimum charge is £490 per month. The projects we agree to work on are priced based on:
- your allocated SEO budget (or at least a rough idea of how much you spend/are willing to) – SEO is not how much it costs but rather how much you can afford (obviously, the more you spend, the more quickly you can improve your rankings)
- an estimation of the time required taking into consideration how difficult it is to improve visibility for targeted keywords in a few months
SEO takes time and is getting increasingly sophisticated and difficult, especially with the latest Google algorithm updates (see Panda, Penguin, BERT, Google Core Updates etc.), so it is always better to focus on a couple of keywords if your budget is not sufficient to tackle them all rather than not getting anywhere. e.g. Considering all things equal, rather than ranking for 10 keywords on the second page it is much better to rank for 5 on the first page and not to rank at all for the other 5. After the 5 keywords first page rankings have been achieved, we can turn our attention to the second lot. Whenever we commit to work on a project, we do our best to ensure the resources (e.g. the number of hours allocated monthly) will be enough to make an impact.
Why work with us
The main advantage of working with us is that we can implement the majority of the changes required ourselves so you don’t need to involve costly web development resources that can cost £50+ per hour. This means less documentation and hassle for you and savings for you that will increase the ROI.
A bit about the process
No two SEO campaigns are alike, but roughly the first steps are:
- We agree on the keywords we will work on and the amount of time
- A detailed SEO on-site analysis will be carried out, with suggested changes to be made to your website
- Off-site optimisation
- After about 6 months, we review the campaign and decide if any changes are to be made to the strategy
Additionally, each month (unless otherwise agreed), a report is issued with important metrics to measure the progress of the SEO campaign. If you still have some unanswered questions or would like to get in touch, please use the contact page.
