Professional Services SEO · Qualified consultations-tied programs

Professional Services SEO
that rank that converts.

We run SEO programs for professional services teams who are tired of agencies that publish 80 blog posts a month and call it a strategy. Bottom-of-funnel content, technical foundations, and the topical authority that ranks for queries your buyers actually use.

What's included · seo

Six things every professional services
seo engagement ships with.

Some agencies hide what's included until you're past the proposal stage. We don't. Here's exactly what every professional services seo engagement covers — six concrete deliverables, each tied to your unit economics.

01 — INCLUDED

Technical SEO audit & remediation

Full crawl, Core Web Vitals, schema, indexation, internal linking. We fix what's broken before adding content on top.

02 — INCLUDED

Keyword strategy by intent

Bottom-of-funnel queries first, then mid-funnel, then top. Mapped to the segments paying back, not the ones with the most volume.

03 — INCLUDED

Content production

8–16 high-quality articles, comparison pages, or service pages monthly. Written by domain specialists, not freelancers behind a spreadsheet.

04 — INCLUDED

On-page optimization

Title tags, meta descriptions, internal linking, schema, and conversion paths on every published page. Quarterly retrofit on existing inventory.

05 — INCLUDED

Authority building

Earned links from genuine industry placements — guest posts, original research, expert quotes — not link directories or guest-post farms.

06 — INCLUDED

Monthly attribution review

Per-page revenue attribution, segment-level conversion analysis, and a roadmap rebid every quarter.

How the engagement runs

Four stages between
kickoff and lift.

Same engagement architecture across every seo program — recalibrated for professional services unit economics. Every stage produces a measurable artifact your team can defend, not a discovery deck.

Audit

Two-week technical + content audit.

Stage 01
2

Strategy

Intent-mapped keyword + topic plan.

Stage 02
3

Production

Content shipped weekly, with on-page optimization.

Three services that compound the lift

The other levers
in this professional services cluster.

SEO is one of four services we run for professional services clients. The compound impact comes from running them as a connected program — each tied to the same attribution model and a single point of accountability.

Common questions

Things professional services teams
ask about seo.

Eight of the most common questions we field on first calls. If something here isn't covered, the strategy call is the right place to dig in.

What's the typical investment for Professional Services seo?
Investment depends on scope and complexity. $5K–$12K typical is the typical range we land at. We'll give you a fixed quote within 5 business days of an audit call — no rolling invoices, no scope creep without a written rebid.
How long until we see results from a seo engagement?
Depends on the channel. For paid media, lift is visible inside week two. For SEO, expect 4–6 months to see meaningful conversion-tied lift. For web design and maintenance, conversion lift typically shows up in the first 60 days post-launch.
Will you work alongside our existing team or vendors?
Yes — about 78% of our engagements involve coordinating with an in-house team or another specialist agency. We're explicit about RACI in the kickoff so there's no ambiguity about who owns what.
What does the onboarding look like?
Two weeks. Day 1–5: kick-off, access provisioning, audit. Day 6–10: strategy briefing and roadmap. Day 11–14: signed scope and the first deliverable shipped. We move faster than agency-typical onboarding because we don't run a 60-day discovery phase.
How is success measured?
We tie reporting to professional services-specific outcomes: Qualified consultations, Cost per lead, Close rate. Every monthly review includes attribution from channel → outcome, not vanity metrics. We'll show you the math.
What if we want to bring this in-house later?
About 14% of our clients exit before 12 months because they've hired an in-house team. We support that transition explicitly — documentation, playbooks, and a 30-day handoff included. Good outcome for everyone.
Do you sign DPAs / SOC 2 / NDAs?
Yes. We're SOC 2 Type II audited, GDPR-compliant, and routinely sign NDAs and DPAs before any privileged work. Templates in the contract pack we share post-strategy call.
How are change requests handled?
Inside the monthly retainer or on a per-project basis depending on scope. Small adjustments are inside the retainer. Net-new pages, new channels, or major rebuilds are scoped separately so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Three ways forward

Start with a seo audit, not a sales call.

Pick the path that fits where your team is right now. We default to giving you something useful in the first conversation — a real audit finding or a written scope — before either of us makes a longer commitment.
