The four pillars

Enterprise SEO is four pillars, weighted.

Most agencies sell one pillar and call it the whole programme. The retainer covers all four.

01~40% weight

Technical foundation

Crawl, index and render audit. Core Web Vitals. Internal linking architecture. JavaScript rendering. Structured data at scale. The work that stops the site leaking equity. Foundation tier owns this from day one.

02~35% weight

Content programme

Topic cluster planning, search-led briefs, on-page optimisation, internal linking from new content into priority commercial pages. Your team owns publishing, I own the search architecture they publish into. Growth tier adds this.

03~20% weight

Authority and links

Digital PR pitches, partnership-led link acquisition, citation cleanups, listicle and data-led campaigns. The slow-compounding pillar. Growth tier adds 4 to 8 placements per quarter. Scale tier runs a sustained programme.

04~5% weight

Measurement and roadmap

Quarterly roadmap, monthly performance report, executive readout for your CMO. The pillar most agencies skip until the QBR. It runs from month one, because a board that cannot see what the retainer bought has no reason to keep funding it.

The three tiers

Pick the tier that matches your team shape.

Tiers are not features, they are time and breadth. Foundation is the floor. Most teams move to Growth in month 3 or 4 once the technical foundation is set.

Foundation

The base

For teams with a content function and no technical SEO support.
£2,000 / mo
  • Full technical SEO audit, month one
  • 90-day roadmap, refreshed quarterly
  • On-page programme across priority templates
  • Internal linking architecture review
  • Structured data deployment
  • Monthly performance report
  • Monthly working session with your team
Scale

Dedicated programme

For teams running a sustained SEO programme at multi-brand or international scope.
From £10,000 / mo
  • Everything in Growth
  • Dedicated weekly cadence
  • International SEO support
  • Multi-brand or portfolio-level strategy
  • Executive reporting to CMO
  • Senior-partner availability for stakeholders
  • Quarterly on-site working week
What the Foundation buys, month by month

90 days to foundation. Then compounding starts.

Week 1-2

Audit and baseline

Full technical audit: crawl, index, render, Core Web Vitals, internal linking, structured data, log file review. Search Console and GA4 baselines captured. Your team brief covers commercial priorities, brand voice and stakeholder map. No work shipped yet. Reading and listening.

Week 3-4

Roadmap + first wins

90-day roadmap delivered with prioritised list, named owners, estimated impact and effort. First wave of technical fixes shipped: redirects, canonicals, schema, internal linking on priority templates. The kind of work that takes a junior team 6 weeks done in 2.

Month 2

On-page across priority clusters

Working through the priority commercial templates: meta, on-page copy guidance for your writers, internal linking blueprints, content gaps named with search volumes. Monthly performance report goes out by the 5th of month three with what moved and why.

Month 3

Roadmap refresh + tier review

90-day roadmap refreshed against actual data, not plan. We have a working session on whether Foundation is still the right tier or whether you should move to Growth to layer content and link acquisition on top. No pressure either way. The honest answer often is "Foundation for another quarter".

Fit check

Who this is for, and who it is not for.

The application gate is real. Wrong-fit clients waste your money and my time. Here is the honest sort.

Good fit

  • £1M+ ARR or equivalent commercial scale
  • Marketing-led growth function with at least one head of growth or content
  • Existing content workflow you want to compound on, not invent from scratch
  • B2B SaaS, e-commerce above £2M/yr, or marketing-led businesses
  • SEO is a priority channel you want senior partnership on, not a junior agency contract
  • You can name the one question you most want answered

Poor fit

  • Sole operators or single-location businesses (use the Local SEO retainer instead)
  • Pre-revenue or below £500k ARR (channel mix matters more than SEO at your stage)
  • No in-house content owner (the work needs a counterpart inside)
  • Looking for a junior agency that will execute every task themselves
  • Need a 6-month lock-in contract (I run monthly rolling)
  • Want SEO promised as a guaranteed channel inside 60 days (it will not happen)
How this practice compares

Against a typical UK enterprise SEO agency.

Typical UK enterprise SEO agency Consent Leads Enterprise SEO
Monthly cost, Foundation £4,000 to £8,000 £2,000
Who actually does the work Account manager + 2-3 juniors I do the senior work directly. Specialist content writers and link partners by project.
Concurrent client cap None published 2 enterprise clients at a time
Contract 6 to 12 months Monthly rolling
Setup fee £2,000 to £10,000 None. Audit is the first 30 days of Foundation.
Reporting cadence Quarterly business review Monthly performance, quarterly executive readout
You own the deliverables Often not All audits, briefs, roadmaps and schema live in your stack. Revoke anytime.
Straight answers

What you are actually buying.

A principal doing the senior technical and strategic work directly, on a cohort capped at two enterprise engagements so neither one is handed to a junior with a status update. The Local SEO retainer is run the same way and is already delivering for live clients.

Foundation starts at £2,000/mo because it is the technical base, scoped deliberately tight. Growth and Scale layer content, links and dedicated cadence on top as the work earns them. You pay for the tier your team can actually absorb this quarter, not a bundle that sits unused.

What this practice will not promise: a specific traffic or revenue number inside 90 days. Enterprise SEO compounds over 6 to 12 months. If you need a channel that ships revenue inside 60 days, paid is where you start. SEO is what you start now so it is paying you by Q4.

Apply for a Foundation seat.

Brand, ARR, in-house team shape, and the one question you most want answered. I reply within 48 hours with a fit assessment. If the fit is not there, I will tell you what would be a better use of the budget.
