An SEO agency USA businesses can audit before they pay anything.

We have no published campaign results and we are not going to imply otherwise. What we will do is read your site for free and tell you specifically what is wrong with it — which is a better test of an agency than a case study you cannot verify.

What you are actually buying

Three different jobs are sold under two letters.

Most disappointing search retainers are a mismatch rather than a fraud: the business needed one of these and bought another. They have different costs, different timescales and different people doing them.

The technical job

Whether search engines can crawl, render and understand your site at all. Indexability, speed on a real phone on a real connection, structured data, canonical handling, redirect maps after a rebuild, and whether your content exists in the HTML or arrives later via JavaScript. It is finite, it is verifiable, and it is the half we can actually evidence. A technical SEO agency USA buyers hire for this should hand over a list of specific defects with locations, not a score out of a hundred.

The content job

Whether anything on your site answers the question somebody typed. This is writing, it is slow, and it is where most of the value sits once the technical floor is met. The failure mode is a monthly quota of eight-hundred-word posts about nothing, produced because the retainer needs a deliverable. Fewer, better, aimed at queries with actual intent behind them beats volume every time, and it is harder to sell because it produces less to show at the monthly call.

The authority job

Whether anyone credible references you. The slowest, the least controllable, and the one where the industry's worst practices live — bought links, guest post networks, directory packages. It is also the reason a competitor with a worse site outranks you. Be suspicious of anyone who promises it on a timetable, and more suspicious of anyone who will not say where the links come from.

What we can prove, and what we cannot

Every campaign write-up in our library is still a draft, in every market. We have chosen to leave them there rather than activate a set of four-sentence stubs so this page can display a number, and the consequence is that we cannot show you an American client whose traffic doubled. Plenty of competing pages will. Ask them for the Search Console screenshot with the property name visible and the date range unedited, and see what comes back.

What is checkable right now

The technical half, which is the half most agencies subcontract and the half a technically-minded buyer is usually trying to assess anyway. DK Lighting ships 126 indexable pages with server-side meta, Open Graph, canonicals and JSON-LD injected before the HTML leaves the server rather than painted on afterwards by JavaScript. Iqra ships School and Course schema. The American store we built, Team Concept, runs 675 products through 45 collections — and catalogue structure at that scale is a search problem long before it is a design one, because it determines what can be crawled, what competes with itself and what is reachable in two clicks.

And this site, which you are reading

This domain runs a documented keyword program: a fixed placement budget per page, an automated check that fails a build for over-optimisation, a corpus check for two pages competing on the same query, and a published log of what shipped each month including what did not work. You can read the pages and judge whether they are written for a reader or for a crawler. That is a demonstration rather than a result — this program started recently and the analytics baseline is newer still, so anyone claiming a ranking outcome from it this early would be inventing one.

The part about maps, which we cannot do for you

We have no American office, so we cannot rank in the local pack for an American city and will not imply we can. If your customers search with a city attached and the map results are where the business comes from, what you need is a Google Business Profile at a real address with real reviews — which is largely not an agency purchase at all, and we will tell you so rather than sell you a retainer that cannot touch it. Where we compete is the organic results underneath the map, which are winnable from anywhere and are what most ecommerce SEO agency USA retainers are actually fighting over.

How it runs

You see the price at step two.

01

Free teardown

Written, inside 48 hours. Specific defects with their locations, ranked by what would move first — not a score.

02

Fix the technical floor

Usually a fixed-scope piece of work rather than a retainer, because it is finite and it should end.

03

Then content, if it is worth it

Aimed at queries with intent behind them. Fewer pieces, each one answering something somebody actually typed.

04

Reported from Search Console

Your property, your data, impressions and clicks — not a third-party visibility index that only we can see.

Money

How we quote search work.

Technical fix, fixed scope

The right first purchase for most sites. A defined list of defects, fixed for one price, with a before-and-after you can verify yourself. It ends rather than renewing.

  • ✓Free teardown first
  • ✓Specific defects, specific fixes
  • ✓No ongoing commitment

Content, monthly

Only once the technical floor is met, because content on an uncrawlable site is money set on fire. Scoped by query rather than by word count.

  • ✓Cancel with notice
  • ✓Briefed against real queries
  • ✓No volume quota

Retainer

Ongoing technical plus content, for sites large enough to need both continuously. Reported against Search Console rather than a tool that estimates.

  • ✓Your GSC property
  • ✓Impressions and clicks, unedited
  • ✓No link-buying, ever

There is no rate card on this site, in any currency, deliberately. What is fixed is the process: free teardown, written scope, one price, agreed before anyone starts.

FAQ

Straight answers.

How do we tell a real SEO company USA businesses can trust from the other kind?
Three questions, and they work on anybody. Ask what specifically is wrong with your site right now and see whether the answer has locations in it or adjectives. Ask which of the three jobs above they are proposing and what it costs separately. And ask to be reported from your own Search Console property rather than a dashboard only they can log into. An agency that resists the third question is managing your perception rather than your search performance.
Can you guarantee a position?
No, and anybody who does is either lying or planning to rank you for a phrase nobody searches so the report looks good. What can be committed to is the work: the specific defects that will be fixed, the specific queries content will target, and the reporting coming from your own property with the date range unedited. If a supplier's guarantee is what is convincing you, ask which exact phrases it applies to and what their monthly search volume is. The answer is usually the whole story.
Do you offer SEO services USA agencies would call white-label, or only direct?
Direct only. We are not going to be the invisible supplier behind someone else's monthly report, because the arrangement puts a layer between the person doing the work and the person who can answer questions about the business — and that layer is where most retainer disappointment is manufactured. If you are an agency wanting engineering capacity for a build, that is a different conversation and a legitimate one.
We want an SEO consultant USA based, in our timezone. Should we just hire locally?
For the diagnostic half, possibly yes, and we would say so. If what you want is somebody who joins your marketing stand-up and argues with your content team weekly, hire someone who is awake when you are. Where we are a reasonable answer is the technical work, which is a defined project delivered against a written list and does not need a shared working day — and where the same budget buys materially more engineering time than it does domestically.
How long before anything happens?
Technical fixes show up in crawling and indexing within weeks, and sometimes within days for something like a blocked directory or a broken canonical. Content and authority run in months, and anyone giving you a date is guessing. The honest framing is that search is the slowest channel you can buy and the cheapest one to keep once it works, which makes it a bad answer to an urgent revenue problem and a good answer to a structural one. If you need traffic this quarter, the paid page is a more honest place to start.
You are not in the United States. Does that hurt our rankings?
For organic results, no — where your supplier sits is not a ranking factor, and the work is the same work. For the local pack it is decisive, and that is covered above: we cannot help you there and we will not sell you something that pretends to. The one real operational cost is timing, since nobody here is available during your working day, and for search work specifically that matters less than in almost any other discipline, because the work is asynchronous by nature.
