Four disciplines, one retainer
A strategist, a technical SEO, a content lead and an AI visibility analyst, all named and all reachable.
- Named team, no rotating juniors
- Shared Slack or Teams channel
- Weekly working session
- Escalation path that works
// Hire_08
A fractional SEO team for the price of one hire.
Strategy, technical, content and AI visibility in one retainer — with an operating cadence, not an inbox you have to chase.
One in-house SEO hire cannot cover strategy, technical, content production and AI visibility. A fractional team can, and costs less than the salary. You get named people, a weekly cadence, a shared backlog, and reporting your leadership can read without translation.
// Key_Takeaways
- A single SEO hire is always weak in three of the four disciplines the job needs.
- Cadence beats headcount — a weekly shipping rhythm produces more than an extra body.
- Fractional works when the backlog is shared and visible; it fails when it's an email relationship.
You don't need an SEO. You need a bench — and most companies can only afford one of those.

// Frequently_Asked
Questions about this engagement.
How is this different from a normal retainer?+
Cadence and access. You get a weekly working session, a shared backlog and direct messaging with the people doing the work rather than an account manager.
Can you work with our existing in-house SEO?+
Frequently. We usually take technical and AI visibility while they keep content and stakeholder management.
What does it cost?+
Retainers run $6,500–$14,500 per month depending on catalogue size, technical debt and production volume.
What's the commitment?+
Three months minimum so the work has time to show, then rolling. The 180-day refund guarantee applies to the 90-day plan.
