SEO workstreams

The work is similar; the monthly depth is different.

Automated SEO works inside the published monthly limits. Managed SEO uses a written quote to define the volume, cadence, human review and complexity included.

SEO workstreamWhat we doBenefit to your business
On-page SEOImprove titles, descriptions, headings, page structure, search intent, local relevance, image text, and calls to action.Search engines understand each page, and visitors reach the right service faster.
Technical SEOCheck crawlability, sitemaps, robots rules, canonicals, redirects, broken links, duplicates, structured data, mobile usability, HTTPS, and performance issues.Important pages are easier to discover, understand, and keep indexed.
Internal linkingFind orphan pages, improve anchor text, connect services and cities, and build useful topic clusters.Authority reaches revenue pages and customers can navigate from questions to services.
Content optimizationImprove thin or outdated pages, add local proof and FAQs, close competitor gaps, and create or refresh useful content.You gain relevant search entry points and stronger reasons for prospects to enquire.
Backlink growthResearch competitor links, qualify directories, industry sites, partners, and resource pages, then prepare or perform authorized submissions and outreach.Relevant earned links can strengthen authority without link buying or mass-submission spam.
Local search intelligenceResearch local keywords and competitors, map service-and-city opportunities, and monitor priority visibility and local signals.SEO effort stays focused on searches with real local buying intent.

Daily monitoring is not daily publishing. The $79 service watches critical signals daily, runs a scheduled crawl weekly, and works within the listed monthly delivery limits. Backlink placement depends on third-party approval and is never guaranteed.

90-day SEO delivery guarantee

We complete and document the agreed core SEO work—or provide 30 more calendar days at no service fee.

For eligible customers, the guarantee covers the agreed core SEO work across the first 90 consecutive calendar days of paid service. Search performance is measured from a verified baseline so you can see what changed.

The delivery period requires the website and measurement access defined in the service agreement, timely approvals, and no uncoordinated site changes that block the work. We do not guarantee a specific Google position, traffic volume, backlink placement, metric increase, or number of leads.

FAQ

Pricing and service questions

How do the three-chapter preview and $19.99 full report differ?

The planned free preview will show the first three report chapters. When checkout opens, the $19.99 one-time purchase will unlock a complete company and market assessment, every eligible public page scored up to the 200-page limit, required DataForSEO/Semrush/Ahrefs evidence, at least five sourced competitors, exact fixes, 12+ acquisition funnels, tight 90-day SEO/advertising/social-content plans and PDF. Both preview and checkout are currently closed. Report access will not start a subscription or authorize website changes.

What does the $79 service do each month?

It covers one WordPress website and up to 50 important pages, with daily critical monitoring, a weekly crawl, a monthly report, up to 10 low-risk fixes, 2 existing-page updates, 1 new-page draft, and 5 internal-link changes. Unused work does not imply unlimited rollover.

Is backlink outreach included?

It is not included in the $79 service. Managed SEO can include qualified, authorized outreach when the written quote says so. We do not buy ranking links or run mass-submission spam, and third-party placement is not guaranteed.

Can Automated SEO modify and publish my website?

Yes, after you grant scoped website access. The first release supports WordPress. We preserve the previous state and read the live page back after publishing. Higher-risk changes still require separate approval.

What does the Managed SEO quote determine?

The quote defines the base SEO scope, sites, locations, page volume, cadence, website access, deliverables, approval rules and delivery boundaries. Social media, cold email, paid-ad management, GBP work, multi-site work and custom development are optional add-ons and are included only when the quote says so.

Can the $19.99 be credited toward service?

Yes. It can be credited once toward the first service charge for the same verified account and website when service starts within 30 days. It cannot be stacked, transferred, exchanged for cash, or used twice.

Is advertising spend included in the $800 starting price?

No. Campaign management is an optional quoted add-on, and Google, Meta, LinkedIn, or other platform media spend is always paid separately and requires its own authorization.

Is Google Business Profile management included?

It is not included in Automated SEO or the $800 Managed SEO base. It can be added only through a written quote.

What does the 90-day SEO delivery guarantee cover?

For eligible customers, RankingLocal guarantees that the agreed core SEO work will be completed and documented across the first 90 consecutive calendar days of paid service. If we fail to complete and document that work, we provide 30 additional calendar days at no service fee. Search performance is measured, but no specific ranking, traffic volume, backlink placement, metric increase, or number of leads is guaranteed.

Is GEO still part of the service?

Yes, as a supporting report. RankingLocal is now positioned primarily as a local SEO service, not a GEO-only product.
