How it works
You run your business. We make the SEO decisions.
Most affordable SEO services hand you a checklist and leave you to figure it out. SEO Lite is the opposite: we decide what your site needs, build it, and hand it to you finished.

Why it's affordable

Built for small businesses
Lay the groundwork now. Scale when you're ready.
We've been doing SEO long enough to know there's a real case for a large program: a team of strategists, hands-on development, a big content budget. Most small businesses don't need that yet.
What moves them first is a sound foundation, built right and published consistently. SEO Lite is built around exactly that, using the same R1 platform and the same kind of deliverables we use on our full-service accounts.
- You start here01SEO Lite
Foundation
- Technically healthy site
- The right core pages, optimized
- Google Business Profile in order
- Consistent monthly content

Momentum
- Content starts compounding
- Rankings and AI visibility climb
- Tests show what works for you
- 03Full-service SEO
Scale
- Hands-on strategy and implementation
- Built for large or complex sites
- Competitive, high-value markets
The line between the two isn't budget alone. It's how big and complex your site is, how competitive your market is, and how much strategy it takes to reach your buyers.
SEO Lite is a fit if
- Your website is small to mid-sized and fairly straightforward
- You serve a clear local or regional market
- Customers search for what you do in plain, direct terms
- You or someone on your team can publish to your site
Full-service is a better fit if
- Your site is large or complex, with many products, templates or locations
- Your market is highly competitive, where every click is expensive
- Your buyers take a long, complex path before they decide
- You want strategy calls and someone hands-on in your site
Built for busy owners
Paste-ready for the platform you already use.
Every deliverable arrives formatted for your website, with short instructions on exactly where it goes. Your portal tracks what's live, so nothing falls through the cracks.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Anything else? Ask in writing and you'll get a real answer within 2 business days.
01What does early access mean?
SEO Lite is our newest plan, built on the same R1 platform, processes and team behind our full-service accounts. We're opening it in small groups so every new account gets our full attention during onboarding. Request access and someone from our team will contact you directly to confirm your start date, set up your account and book a 30-minute onboarding call. After that call, everything is handled by email.
02How can quality SEO be this affordable?
We removed the two most expensive parts of agency SEO: recurring meetings and hands-on website work. R1, the platform we built, handles tracking, testing and reporting, so strategist time goes into your roadmap and deliverables.
03Will I ever talk to anyone?
Yes, in writing. Send questions through your portal or by email and get a thoughtful answer within 2 business days. After your 30-minute onboarding call, there are no scheduled calls on SEO Lite.
04Do I have to publish everything myself?
Yes. That's what keeps the price low. Everything is formatted for your platform with simple instructions, so most months take 1 to 2 hours to publish, depending on how quickly you work. Results depend on getting deliverables live.
05Do I choose what you work on?
No, and that's the point. We decide what your site needs based on your roadmap and your data. You'll always see what we're doing and why in your portal.
06What do you track, and how often?
10 target keywords and 10 AI prompts are checked every 2 weeks. The prompts are tracked across Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. We also keep 5 statistical SEO tests running at a time.
07What do the weekly updates include?
A short email each week covering position changes, AI visibility, SEO test results and your task status: what's ready to publish and what's live. You can change or turn off any of them.
08How long until I see results?
SEO compounds over time. Most sites see early movement within the first few months of publishing consistently, with stronger growth over 6 to 12 months.
09Can I move to full-service later?
Yes. If your site or market outgrows SEO Lite, you can move to full-service SEO, and the roadmap and tracking history come with you.
10Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. SEO Lite is month-to-month with no long-term lock-in. The one-time setup fee covers your audit, roadmap and Google Business Profile pack, which are yours to keep.
