Engagement Models.
We work with organisations of all sizes, and the way we work together depends on the job. Some projects have a clear finish line. Others never really end. Here is how we structure each.
Fixed-Price Projects
For work with a clear start, a clear finish and an easily defined scope.
You agree the scope and the price before we begin, and you know exactly what you are getting and when. Nothing is open-ended, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Typical work
- Websites
- SEO and AI search audits
- Site migrations
- SEO Kickstarter Sprint
Short engagements of a few days are invoiced in a single instalment. Larger projects are split into agreed milestones, with an instalment due at each one.

For managed services where the work is continuous or has no natural end date.
Search and paid media reward steady attention. A retainer gives you a dedicated, continuing service with regular reporting and reviews, so the work keeps compounding rather than stopping and starting.
Typical work
- Managed Google Ads / PPC
- Ongoing SEO
- Content and AI search programmes
Retainers start with a minimum commitment of three months. That gives us time to put the fundamentals in place and a little room for growth tactics to take hold. Because the scope depends on each project's deliverables and timelines, we agree it with you up front.

For when you need senior expertise on a specific question, without a full agency engagement.
Consulting assignments are available for organisations that want specialist input and direction while others carry out the work.
Typical work
- Strategy and second opinions
- Support for in-house teams
- Planned cover for leave and holidays
- Advice ahead of a major change
Consulting is scoped around the specialist resource you need from our team and for how long. We can start from a few days a month, or provide pre-planned cover during periods such as maternity leave or holidays, as long as it is planned in advance.
Order Direct
For grass-roots local SEO services you can buy straight off the shelf. Launching later this year.
Order Direct is planned around fixed-price local SEO deliverables, so you can order a specific service without a larger engagement. Details will follow at launch.
Typical work
- Google Business Profile management
- Citation audits
- Citation building
- Reddit services
