Comprehensive SEO isn’t a ‘service’ — it’s a partnership for years. It’s a format in which we act as your external SEO department: every month we work on every aspect of the site’s visibility in search and respond to changes in algorithms, the competitive landscape and the market. It’s the most expensive but also the most effective form of collaboration — and it’s far from right for everyone.
If you have a landing page and one service, you don’t need comprehensive SEO. Foundational optimization is enough. If your site is the main client acquisition channel, you have 50+ landing pages, active competition in the niche, and you plan to expand — then comprehensive SEO is justified.
How comprehensive SEO differs from ‘monthly SEO’
The market is full of agencies selling ‘SEO for $500 a month’. Usually for that price you get: a couple of links from an exchange, one article from a copywriter for pennies, and a report saying ‘work was done’. That’s not SEO — it’s burning a budget.
Real comprehensive SEO is a team: an SEO strategist, a technical specialist, copywriters, a link builder, an analyst. Each does their part, all coordinated through a project manager. In this format the site genuinely grows, because every lever works at once — not ‘a little bit of everything’.
How many areas our work covers
- Strategic analysis. Each month we look at competitors, the market and trends. We adjust the plan if something changed.
- Technical support. Site health, speed, security, indexing — daily, not ‘once a quarter’.
- Content. New pages for priority clusters, optimization of existing ones, updates to outdated material.
- Link building. Steady backlink growth on a carefully calculated plan.
- GEO optimization. Adapting content for AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini). A separate area we do alongside SEO at no extra charge.
- Analytics. Metrics tied to the business: ROI, leads, sales — not ‘rankings’.
- CRO. If traffic doesn’t convert, we work on landing pages, forms and usability.
What a typical year of work looks like
Months 1–2. A deep audit, semantic research (if there isn’t any yet), foundational optimization — the fastest wins. In GSC, minus 60–80% of errors. The first ranking movements.
Months 3–4. Launch of a steady content stream. The first 8–12 pieces. Link building begins. The first traffic gain usually happens here — +15–30%.
Months 5–6. Expanding semantics. Work on priority landing pages. More rankings in the top 30 and top 10. Traffic gain — +40–80% over the start.
Months 7–12. Steady growth. Top 10 and top 3 for priority queries. Traffic can double. Work on ‘secondary’ clusters, new markets/regions.
Year 2 and beyond. Holding rankings, defending against competitors, expanding into new niches, entering international markets.
How much it costs and whether it’s worth it
Comprehensive SEO starts at $2,500 a month for a small site in a medium-competition niche. For e-commerce, B2B with a large catalog, or competitive markets — $6,000–$12,000. That’s serious money, so we always start with an audit: we look at how much you can realistically earn from search traffic in your niche, how much to invest, and how soon it pays off.
If the ROI doesn’t add up, we say so directly. Better to lose a client at the start than spend a year on a project where SEO isn’t the right tool.
What guarantees we give
We don’t guarantee rankings — that’s charlatanism, because rankings depend on Google’s constantly changing algorithms. We guarantee:
- Execution of the agreed work plan every month.
- Transparent access to all processes and results.
- A monthly report with real numbers, not ‘charts with rankings’.
- Constant contact with the team — no ‘the specialist is on holiday for the third week’.
- If there’s no movement in 6 months — a joint analysis and an honest conversation about the reasons.
This isn’t a ‘guarantee of results’ — it’s a guarantee of process. The result always depends on two sides: our work and your product, market, competition, and willingness to invest in supporting channels.
