Scale With Search sells SEO consultant services four ways: technical SEO, on-page and content SEO, semantic SEO and topical authority, and custom SEO tools that earn traffic. One consultant scopes each job, decides what gets done, and reviews every output. AI agents I run in parallel do the volume. Each solution is sold as a one-time scope or a monthly engagement, and the price is set per situation after I read your brief. Nothing here is priced on the page, and this page says why. [Send your brief](/work#send-your-brief) ## The problem first: SEO services sold as a bundle hide what is wrong. An SEO package can set the monthly number and the activity list before anyone has looked at the site, and the report at the end of the month counts the activities. Ask for the diagnosis, the deliverables, and the acceptance checks before you agree to a price. I sell the opposite order. First the audit says what is wrong and which of the four solutions it belongs to. Then the scope says what gets fixed, how you will know, and what it costs. Then the work. If the audit finds nothing worth paying for, the scope says that too. ## Four SEO solutions, and which one your problem belongs to. ### [Technical SEO](/seo/technical-seo) Google, ChatGPT, or an AI crawler cannot reach, render, or index the pages. Symptoms: pages missing from the index, a drop after a site change or migration, a firewall or a robots rule nobody remembers, slow responses, a sitemap that lies. ### [On-page and content SEO](/seo/on-page-and-content-seo) The pages are reachable and say the wrong thing, say it late, or say it without a date or a source an AI answer can quote. Symptoms: rankings without clicks, an AI answer that describes you wrong, two pages answering one question, prices and hours out of date. ### [Semantic SEO and topical authority](/seo/semantic-seo-and-topical-authority) The site covers your subject in pieces, so neither Google nor an AI answer treats it as the source. Symptoms: a competitor is the answer for your own category, articles that never rank, no map of what to publish next. ### [Custom SEO tools for business traffic](/seo/custom-seo-tools) You have data, records, or a repeated question your market asks, and no page or tool that turns it into visits you own. Symptoms: a spreadsheet your buyers would use if it were a page, rankings you rent from a vendor's dashboard, a tracker you cannot export. ## What an SEO audit covers here, and what it does not. Every one-time scope starts with the audit for its solution. The technical audit reads the site as the crawlers do: access, status codes, index status in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, rendering, redirects, sitemaps, crawler rules. The content audit reads the pages as a buyer and an AI answer do: the question each page answers, where the answer sits, whether the facts carry a date and a source. The semantic audit reads the subject: what the engines currently say your business is, which concepts you cover, which you do not. The tools audit reads your data: what you have, who owns it, what a page or a tool could do with it. SEO audit services sold alone, with no scope behind them, produce a document nobody acts on. Here the audit is the first half of the scope. You can stop after it. The findings are yours either way. ## What you keep after any of the four. The audit file, the scope, every page or tool built, the redirect map, the schema, the crawler policy, and the record of each change with its date and its reason. Everything is readable without me and without a vendor login. If the engagement ends, the record stays on your side and the next person can read it. ## Who this is for, and who it is not for. This is for a small or mid-sized business that owns its site and can give one person access to the console, the hosting, and the records. Most of the work is for service businesses with a service area, so it is small business SEO consulting more often than not. It also fits an SEO or marketing agency that needs one of the four done to a standard it can inspect. It is not for a business that wants a guaranteed position, a number before anyone has looked, or link buying. It is not for a site the business does not control. It is not for paid ads; I refer that out. ## What sets the price of SEO consultant services here. There is no price on this page because the same solution costs a different amount on different sites. The scope names the price after I read the brief and look at the site. The factors that move it: - The number of pages or URL patterns in scope, and how many templates generate them. - Access: whether I get the console, the hosting, the logs, and the CMS, or work through someone who does. - The state of the site at the start: the audit decides how much is repair and how much is build. - How many of the four solutions the job touches. A migration is technical and content at once. - Who approves changes on your side, and how fast. Every change waits for a person. - Whether the work is one-time or monthly, and for monthly, what the month must cover. The scope states the price as one number for a one-time job and one number per month for a monthly engagement. Nothing starts until you accept it in writing. ## One-time scope or monthly engagement, for all four. One-time: the audit, the scope, the fix or the build, the checks, the handoff. It ends when the acceptance checks pass. If you want more later, you get another written scope. Monthly: the same solution carried as a standing engagement. Technical: the monthly crawl, log, index, and crawler-rule check with fixes. Content: a page plan, the rewrites or new pages for the month, the dated-fact review. Semantic: the next nodes on the map, the entity re-check, the off-site list. Tools: the tracker runs, the data pulls, the tool maintenance, the next tool. The monthly price is scoped per situation on a call after the brief. A month ends with a change log, not an activity count. ## Why not an SEO retainer. A retainer sells hours and reports on activity. A monthly engagement here sells a stated set of outcomes for the month, written before the month starts, with the record of what changed at the end. If a month has nothing worth doing, I say so and you do not pay for it. ## How the work gets done, and who answers for it. I scope the job, I decide what gets changed, and I review every output before it ships. AI agents I run in parallel do the volume: the crawls, the log reads, the first drafts, the schema, the checks. No junior, no account manager. The person you email is the person who answers for the result. [How the method works](/how-it-works) is public, and so is [the proof](/proof), including what is not proven yet. ## Questions before you send a brief. Can I buy one solution without the others? Yes. Each page describes one scope. The audit will say if another solution is the real problem, and you decide. Do I need to be on a call to get a price? For a one-time scope, no: the scope comes back in writing after the brief and a look at the site. For a monthly engagement, yes: the month's contents are set on a call, then written down. Can you work with my developer or my agency? Yes. Every change ships as a ticket with its evidence, and your developer applies it, or I do with access. Do you guarantee rankings? No. The scope states checks you can verify: documented index-status checks, rendered pages, dated facts, a published map, a running tool. A position in a result is not a check anyone can guarantee. ## Send your brief.
