Every plan includes a written 90-day roadmap within 7 business days, technical fixes, upgrades to the pages that bring in enquiries, new content that answers buyer questions, Google Business Profile improvements where eligible and monthly reporting with a 30-minute review call.
Exact scope is agreed in writing. Your website, target market, competition, technical condition, locations, content needs and implementation capacity determine the work. A starting price does not imply unlimited pages, fixes or development.
The first 90 days follow the Demand Engine: roadmap, launch, improvement and proof. Competitive searches can take longer to move, so we report honestly on what changed. There is no guarantee of rankings, traffic, leads, sales, revenue, AI mentions or Google Maps placement.
Inside the work / Illustrative example
What does a useful SEO recommendation look like?
An important service page exists, but your navigation and blog barely link to it, so neither Google nor visitors can find it easily. “Improve internal links” is not a plan.
Our priority brief names the page, explains why it matters, lists the exact links to add, assigns an owner and defines how we check the result. That is the level of detail you get for every recommendation.
Fictional scenario for explaining the output. This is not a client audit, a live scan or a promise that every project needs this work.
Illustrative / Priority brief 01
Make the right service page easier to discover.
- Observation
- The service page has few relevant internal links.
- Why it matters
- Visitors and crawlers may miss a profitable part of the offer.
- Next action
- Add contextual links from parent pages and related articles.
- Owner
- Your website editor, your developer or RankNexus.
- Review
- Check live links, page access and search visibility over time.
Is SEO right for you?
Are you losing customers who are searching for you right now?
For US and UK businesses with a real offer, a website and a team ready to act on clear priorities.
The traffic is there. The leads are not. A busy blog can attract readers who will never buy. We connect search intent to your offer and your service pages, so the searches that make you money get the attention.
Good pages that Google can't find. Blocked pages, competing content and weak internal links can hide a strong offer. We find and fix what stops search engines and AI crawlers reading your best pages.
Reports that don't say what to do next. Rankings and clicks need context. Every month we connect the work we shipped, what moved and your lead-quality feedback to a clear decision about what comes next.
We look for the constraint first. Is an important page hard to find? Is the information incomplete? Does traffic arrive without a clear next step? The answer decides whether the first work is technical, content, local visibility or the enquiry journey.
What's included
What do our SEO services include?
Four connected areas of work, scoped in writing, so you always know what you are getting and who is doing it.
A keyword and page opportunity map
Output: a prioritised list of page opportunities
We map the searches your buyers use to the pages that should win them, then decide what to improve, combine or create, ranked by business value and effort.
How we do it
We start with your business, not a keyword count. Searches that signal a real buying need get priority over those that only look impressive. Often an existing page already half-answers the need, and improving or combining it beats writing another article. Every proposed page gets a purpose and a place in your site.
Service pages that win the click and the lead
Output: upgraded and new pages, reviewed by you
We upgrade your most valuable pages with clearer service information, real proof, answers to buyer questions and strong internal links, and write new pages where you have gaps.
How we do it
Each page brief explains who the reader is, what they are trying to decide and what will convince them. We bring in your service details, common questions, original examples and a clear next step. Your team checks the facts. We never invent expertise, customer stories or copy-and-paste location pages.
Technical fixes that unblock growth
Output: fixes shipped and verified on the live site
We find and fix crawling, indexing, redirect, canonical, speed and mobile issues, and add structured data where it describes real content. Bigger development work is scoped with your developer.
How we do it
Every technical recommendation links a symptom to its cause and a check. A page missing from Google might need an access fix, a canonical decision or stronger relevance, not a blanket instruction to index everything. Where code changes are needed, the brief names the owner and how we verify the fix.
Local, authority and AI search basics
Output: a stronger, more consistent presence
We improve your Google Business Profile where eligible, keep your business facts consistent across the web and help you earn genuine reviews and mentions. That is what both Google and AI assistants rely on.
How we do it
Local visibility depends on accurate business information, an eligible Google Business Profile, genuine reviews and pages for the places you really serve. AI assistants draw on the same signals, so consistent facts and earned mentions help you in both.
Why connected work wins.
Technical access lets good content get found. Clear pages give visitors a reason to contact you. Reviews and mentions build trust with people and AI assistants. Measurement shows what to do next. Start with one specialist area if you like; the plan keeps the rest in view.
Specialist SEO
Need a specialist? Go deeper where it counts.
Pick the discipline that matches your biggest constraint. Specialist work fits inside your plan when your website and market call for it.
Local SEO
For businesses that serve real customers in specific cities or regions.
Technical SEOFor crawling, indexing, site structure and platform problems.
Content SEOFor pages and articles that answer buyer questions and rank.
Ecommerce SEOFor Shopify and online stores that need categories and products found.
International SEOFor businesses selling in more than one country or language.
SEO Audit (£495)For a fixed-price diagnosis and fix list before a bigger commitment.
AI search optimisationFor getting recommended in ChatGPT, Google AI and Perplexity.
Local and international work covers places and markets you genuinely serve. AI search optimisation builds on the same foundations as SEO.
Reporting
How do you measure SEO results?
See our SEO case studiesEach one shows its Ahrefs figures, the dates they cover and what they don't prove. Ahrefs traffic is an estimate, not the client's own analytics.
We agree what success means before we start: which searches matter, which actions count as leads and how your team will tell us which leads were worth it. Search Console shows visibility, analytics shows what visitors do next, and your feedback shows quality.
Visibility that matters
Search Console queries, impressions, clicks and landing pages, split into branded, informational and buying-intent searches.
Leads, not just traffic
Form fills and calls tracked in analytics, checked against your feedback on which leads were worth it.
A clear next decision
What changed, what we can see in the data and what is still uncertain, so every month ends with an informed next step.
We compare periods carefully, because seasonality, demand and other marketing move the same numbers. You get a straight answer about what changed and what we think caused it.
- 01
Roadmap in 7 business days
We review your site, Search Console data and goals, agree what counts as a qualified lead, and deliver a written 90-day roadmap.
- 02
Fix, upgrade and publish
Over the first 90 days we ship the priority fixes, upgrade the pages that matter and publish new content, with every release logged.
- 03
Review and grow
Every month you see what moved, what it cost and what we will do next. When the evidence supports it, we expand into new services, locations or markets.
What we need from each other.
You keep ownership of your website and every account. Your team supplies accurate business information and a person who can approve changes. We agree access, approvals and who implements what before work begins.
Rebuilds, migrations and third-party development are quoted separately. If your priorities change, we update the plan together rather than quietly stretching the scope. Discuss your SEO goals
Our commitments
What we promise, in writing.
What we don't promise: rankings, AI citations or a fixed number of leads. Search engines, AI platforms and ad auctions make those decisions, and no honest agency controls them. We agree the numbers that matter to your business before we start, then show you every month what moved them.
- Your roadmap in 7 business days
- We deliver your initial roadmap within seven business days after a complete start. If we miss that deadline for reasons within our control, you receive a one-time £250 credit against your management fee.
- A named specialist on your account
- You work directly with the specialist doing the work, not a rotating account manager.
- Everything stays yours
- Ad accounts, analytics, content and data stay in your name. Media spend goes straight to the platforms, never through us.
- No setup fee. Clear terms.
- A written scope and a 90-day first term. What happens after that is agreed together, in writing.
- Reporting you can act on
- Every month you see what moved, what it cost and what we will change next, with a 30-minute review call.
SEO questions
SEO services, answered.
Sources we followGoogle: Do you need an SEO?Google Search spam policies
How much do your SEO services cost?
Essentials SEO starts at £1,500 per month for one website and one priority market. A fixed-price SEO Audit is £495. Larger sites, ecommerce catalogues and multi-location businesses are quoted to scope.
Who is RankNexus, and where are you based?
RankNexus is the trading name of Rank Nexus LLC, a marketing agency founded in May 2022 and led by M. Zeeshan (CEO & Founder) and M. Nouman (Co-founder & Managing Director). We work with UK businesses remotely from our registered office in Denver, Colorado, with UK prices in pounds and UK spelling throughout.
Do you do local SEO for UK towns and cities?
Yes. Local SEO covers your Google Business Profile, reviews and pages for the towns and cities you genuinely serve, whether that is one location or many. We never build thin, copy-and-paste location pages.
What are SEO services?
Search engine optimisation services improve how your website ranks in Google and Bing and how often AI assistants recommend you. They cover technical fixes so search engines can read your site, better service and location pages, content that answers buyer questions, your Google Business Profile, reviews and mentions, and reporting on the leads it all brings in.
What does an SEO agency do?
An SEO agency improves how your website ranks for the searches your customers make: it fixes technical problems, rewrites and adds pages around buyer questions, keeps your Google Business Profile accurate, earns mentions on other sites and reports what moved. A good one shows you who does the work and what changes on your site each month.
How much does it cost to hire an SEO company?
Most SEO retainers cost under $2,000 a month: 84% of the agencies in SE Ranking's survey of 260 charge less than that. Our Essentials plan starts at £1,500 a month, and our guide to how much SEO costs compares the survey data with what each kind of plan includes.
Are your SEO services right for a small business?
Yes. Essentials SEO is built for one website and one priority market, which suits most small businesses. We start with the pages closest to a sale, such as your main services and locations, so a small budget goes where it can bring leads soonest.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes and page upgrades can lift visibility within weeks, but meaningful growth in competitive searches usually takes three to six months, sometimes longer. Your written roadmap shows what happens first, and every monthly review shows what moved.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
No. Google decides rankings, and anyone who guarantees them is taking a risk with your website. We guarantee the work: a roadmap in 7 business days or a £250 credit, a named specialist and honest monthly reporting.
What does Essentials SEO include each month?
Technical fixes, upgrades to your most valuable service and location pages, new content that answers buyer questions, Google Business Profile improvements where eligible, AI search basics, and a monthly report with a 30-minute review call.
Can you work with our existing website?
Yes. Most clients keep their current site. We work in your CMS or brief your developer, and quote separately for any rebuild or migration.
Should we start with SEO or Google Ads?
If you need leads this month, start with Google Ads while SEO builds. If you can invest for the medium term, SEO lowers your cost per lead over time. Many clients run both through the Growth plan.
Can SEO generate leads for a US or UK business?
Yes, when your pages match how buyers search and give them a clear reason to contact you. We plan pages, content and tracking around qualified leads, not traffic for its own sake.
Does SEO still matter with AI search?
More than ever. ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity draw on crawlable, well-structured pages and trusted sources. Good SEO is the foundation of AI search visibility.
Do you build backlinks?
We help you earn genuine mentions, reviews and links from relevant sources. We never buy links or use link networks, because they put your site at risk.
Who will work on our SEO?
A named SEO specialist leads your programme, with web development support for technical and website changes. You speak to the people doing the work.
How do you report on SEO results?
Every month you get Search Console visibility, organic leads from analytics, the work we shipped and what we will do next, plus a 30-minute review call.
Can we start with a free audit?
Yes. Ask our team for a free audit and we will review your website's biggest SEO issues, or order the £495 SEO Audit for a full prioritised fix list.
