A guide to each SEO service

Agencies use these terms as though everyone already knows what they mean. Below is what each one actually buys you, who tends to need it, how it is normally priced, and the single question worth asking before you commit.

Local SEO

Getting your business found by people searching nearby, which in practice means the Google map pack, your Google Business Profile, and location pages on your own site.

Best for

Any business that serves customers from a shop, clinic, yard or office, or travels to them within a set radius of Bristol.

Typical deliverables

Google Business Profile setup, categories, services and photos
Consistent name, address and phone details across directories
Location and service area pages that are genuinely different from each other
Review generation process and response templates

How it is priced

Usually a small monthly retainer, often the cheapest way into SEO.

Ask before you buy

Ask how they plan to earn map pack visibility beyond simply filling in the profile, and who owns the profile login at the end.

Technical SEO

The engineering side: making sure search engines can crawl, render and index your pages quickly and without duplication.

Best for

Larger sites, ecommerce catalogues, anything built on a custom platform, and any site whose traffic dropped after a redesign.

Typical deliverables

Crawl and index coverage analysis
Core Web Vitals and page speed fixes
Site structure, internal linking and canonical rules
Structured data, sitemaps and robots directives

How it is priced

A one off project, sometimes with a retainer to keep new problems from creeping back in.

Ask before you buy

Ask whether they implement the fixes themselves or hand a list to your developer, and who pays for that developer time.

SEO content writing

Writing and improving the pages that answer what your customers actually search for, rather than publishing for the sake of a schedule.

Best for

Businesses with a thin site, or one where every service sits on a single overloaded page.

Typical deliverables

Keyword and intent research mapped to pages
New service, location and guide pages
Rewrites of existing pages that under perform
Briefs, drafts, edits and upload

How it is priced

Monthly, priced per article or per page, or a fixed block of pages up front.

Ask before you buy

Ask for two samples in your sector and check whether a human subject expert reviews the drafts.

Link building

Earning links from other websites, which remains one of the strongest signals behind competitive rankings.

Best for

Sites that already have solid content and clean technical foundations but are stuck behind larger competitors.

Typical deliverables

Competitor link gap analysis
Prospecting and outreach
Digital assets or content worth linking to
A monthly report of live, indexed links

How it is priced

Monthly retainer, or priced per link secured.

Ask before you buy

Ask to see live examples from the last three months, and avoid anyone selling large volumes of cheap links or guaranteed placements.

SEO audits

A structured review of why a site is not performing, covering technical health, content, links and competitors.

Best for

Almost everyone, before committing to a retainer. It is the lowest risk way to test whether an agency knows its trade.

Typical deliverables

Prioritised issue list with expected impact and effort
Keyword and competitor benchmark
Technical crawl findings
A walkthrough call, not just a PDF

How it is priced

A single fixed fee project, typically delivered in two to four weeks.

Ask before you buy

Ask whether the fee is credited against a later retainer, and insist on a live walkthrough so you can question the findings.

Digital PR

Earning coverage in press and industry publications so that links and brand mentions arrive as a by product of genuine news.

Best for

Brands in competitive national markets, and Bristol businesses with a story, data or a local angle worth pitching.

Typical deliverables

Campaign ideas and data gathering
Press release and asset production
Journalist outreach and reactive comment
Coverage report with links and reach

How it is priced

Campaign based, or a monthly retainer covering reactive commentary.

Ask before you buy

Ask which publications they have landed in the last six months and whether coverage included a link or only a mention.

SEO consultancy

Strategy, direction and oversight without the agency doing the hands on work. You keep delivery in house and buy expertise by the day.

Best for

Businesses with a marketing team or a capable developer who need a plan and a second opinion rather than another supplier.

Typical deliverables

Strategy and roadmap
Training for your in house team
Regular review sessions
Specification and sign off on developer work

How it is priced

Day rate, or a small fixed number of hours each month.

Ask before you buy

Ask who you actually get, by name, and how many days a month they can commit to.

International SEO

Making one business rank properly in more than one country or language, without the versions competing against each other.

Best for

Exporters, SaaS companies and ecommerce brands selling beyond the UK.

Typical deliverables

Domain and URL structure decisions
Hreflang implementation and testing
Market by market keyword research
Translation or transcreation oversight

How it is priced

A setup project followed by an ongoing retainer per market.

Ask before you buy

Ask whether they use native speakers for keyword research, because direct translation of keywords rarely matches how people search.

SEO migration support

Protecting rankings when the site changes: a redesign, a replatform, a domain change or a merge of two sites.

Best for

Anyone about to rebuild. This is the one service where being late is expensive and being early is cheap.

Typical deliverables

Pre launch crawl and URL inventory
Redirect mapping, one to one wherever possible
Staging site checks before go live
Launch day and post launch monitoring

How it is priced

A fixed project tied to your launch date, usually spanning a few weeks either side.

Ask before you buy

Bring them in before the build is finished, not after launch, and ask what their rollback plan is if traffic falls.

SEO is not one job. Some of the 157 agencies on this site sell a full monthly retainer, others deliver a single piece of work such as an audit or a migration. Both are valid, so be clear about which you are buying before you sign anything.

Whatever the service, ask the same three questions: what exactly is the deliverable, how will it be measured, and what happens after it lands. Work that arrives as a document and is never implemented is the most common way SEO budget disappears without a result.

Not sure which service you need? Say so on the quote form and the agencies we match you with will tell you what they would prioritise first. Comparing those answers is often more useful than comparing prices.

Guides to buying SEO

How much does SEO cost in the UK? Most UK small businesses pay between £500 and £2,500 a month for SEO.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Which SEO service should I start with?

Usually an audit, because it tells you what is holding the site back before you commit to a monthly retainer. If you already know the problem, start with the service that addresses it.

Why are only some services listed here?

We publish a service page only where at least one Bristol agency is confirmed to offer it in our data. The rest are held back until we can verify them rather than guessing.

Is SEO a one off project or an ongoing cost?

Some of it is one off, such as a migration or a technical fix, and some needs maintaining. Ask each agency to state clearly which parts of a quote are a single project and which recur monthly.

How do I compare quotes fairly?

Give every agency the same brief, and ask each to state deliverables, who does the work day to day, and how success will be reported. Prices only mean something when the scope behind them matches.
