The SEO service made for established companies
A bespoke strategy and a standardised implementation, delivered by senior consultants. Built for businesses that already have a brand, a finance team and a board to answer to.
REST — Research, Evaluation, Strategy, Tactics
REST is the discovery half of the engagement. Four to six weeks, four named workstreams, one signed-off forecast at the end. It's a structured study of how the people who buy from you find what they buy — ending with a forecast you can take to your board, a roadmap your team can run, and a written brief for every piece of work in the first quarter.
Research at Type A is not a keyword export. It's a structured study of how the people who buy from you find what they buy. We pull demand data, transcript sales calls, sit in on customer interviews where we can, and rebuild the buyer's journey for each priority segment.
Audience and persona work
We start with the segments your sales team already prioritises — not personas we invent in a workshop. For each segment we map the questions they ask, the language they use, the publications they read and the moments they're most likely to be in-market.
Demand and intent
Search demand is the floor of the opportunity, not the strategy. We pair volume data with intent classification — informational, commercial, transactional — so you know which clusters earn revenue and which earn brand awareness, and can fund them accordingly.
Competitor teardown
We take the three to five competitors you actually lose deals to and rebuild their organic presence: pages, links, content depth, schema, internal links, brand search. The output is a written teardown of what you'd have to do to out-rank each one.
Evaluation is where we look at your site through the lens of the research. The deliverable is a prioritised list of opportunities, each with a forecast and a confidence level.
Technical audit
A full crawl, log-file review, Core Web Vitals pass, render audit and indexation review. We focus on issues that actually affect rankings on your key templates — not on populating a 200-row spreadsheet of every theoretical issue on every page.
Content and IA scoring
We score every priority page against the pages it competes with. You get a clear read on whether you're losing on content quality, depth, internal linking, external authority, or template-level on-page issues — and how to fix it.
Forecast and prioritisation
Every opportunity is sized: estimated traffic, estimated revenue, estimated effort, confidence. The list is ordered by forecast ROI, with explicit notes on dependencies, so you can see what unlocks what.
Strategy is where the forecast becomes a 12-month plan. It's the deliverable your CMO takes to the board, and the deliverable your SEO team uses to plan their quarter.
Roadmap
A quarterly roadmap, ladder-loaded against the forecast. Q1 is usually loaded with technical fixes and IA work; Q2 and Q3 are content-heavy; Q4 is digital PR and consolidation. We'll tell you why for your specific account.
KPIs and measurement model
We agree the scoreboard before we start. For ecommerce that's revenue, conversion rate and AOV. For lead-gen it's MQLs and pipeline-influenced. For publishers it's session value and subscription contribution. Month one looks like month twelve.
Resourcing and governance
We define the in-house and agency-side roles, the decision-making forum, the sprint cadence and the escalation path. Most accounts that fail, fail on governance — we put that on the page on day one.
Tactics is where strategy becomes ticketable work. Briefs, calendars, link plans, sprint plans — the things your team needs to actually execute the roadmap.
Briefs and definitions of done
Every page edit, technical fix and campaign comes with a written brief: target keyword cluster, audience, structure, examples, internal links, and a definition of done. Writers and developers don't have to guess what success looks like.
Editorial and link calendars
Three months ahead at all times. Content topics, target outlets, outreach angles and digital PR ideas, all sequenced against the quarterly roadmap so nothing waits on us to ship.
Sprint cadence
Two-week sprints, fortnightly reviews against the forecast, monthly commercial review. Anything off-track gets re-scoped at the next review — not at the quarter-end.
BOOM — Broken Site, On-page, Off-page, Measurement
Strategy is bespoke. Delivery is the opposite — it's a checklist. BOOM is the standardised four-pillar implementation we run on every account, every month, so the team ships faster and you can compare results across quarters.
Technical SEO done at established-business scale: hundreds of templates, multiple regions, third-party tags, a marketing team that wants to ship and an engineering team that wants to ship less. We run a continuous audit against the templates that drive your traffic.
Crawl, render and indexation
Scheduled crawls, server log review and a render audit on the templates that matter. We brief engineering with concrete budgets and reproducible test cases, not vague tickets that bounce around the backlog.
Core Web Vitals
Real-user metrics on the templates with the most organic traffic. We separate the engineering work from the third-party tag work from the design work, so each team owns their part of the budget.
Migrations and replatforms
If a migration is on the roadmap, this is the highest-risk SEO work you can do. We've shipped migrations on Shopify, Magento, WordPress, Sitecore and bespoke stacks. We know where the bodies are buried.
On-page is where most established sites have the biggest unrealised upside. The site's been there for ten years; the IA grew organically; the briefs were written by five different agencies. We rebuild it around the buyer's journey.
Information architecture
We rebuild the taxonomy around the keyword clusters in the strategy. Where pages need to merge, we merge them. Where pages need to be split, we split them. Where templates need a new content slot, we brief it.
Content optimisation
Page-level briefs that tell your existing writers exactly what to add, cut and restructure. We work with your tone of voice, brand guidelines and editorial standards. We don't ship AI filler.
Internal linking
We model the link equity flow on your site, identify the pages that are under- and over-supported, and ship a controlled set of internal link changes through your CMS.
Off-page is where most of the failed SEO accounts we inherit went wrong. The work was outsourced, the targets were vanity DR, and the links were on sites your buyers have never read. We do the opposite of all three things.
Digital PR
Newsworthy, data-led campaigns built for the publications your buyers actually read. We define the target audience and the target link profile up front, and report against both — not against a vanity DR or a placement count.
Targeted outreach
When PR isn't the right shape — niche B2B, technical SaaS, regulated verticals — we run direct outreach to editors, contributors and resource-page owners. Same standards: real publications, real relationships, real coverage.
Link risk
Quarterly review of the incoming link profile. We flag toxic patterns early and disavow conservatively. Most established sites don't need a disavow file — we'll tell you if yours doesn't.
If you can't defend the numbers in front of finance, the work doesn't compound. Measurement is the most under-invested pillar in most agencies, and it's the one we put the most senior people on.
Reporting
A one-page monthly narrative, the numbers behind it, and the decision we're asking you to make. No 30-tab dashboard. The reporting in month one is the same shape as the reporting in month twelve.
Forecast vs. actuals
We re-forecast monthly. Bets that are paying off get more budget; bets that aren't get re-scoped or cut. Surprises get flagged in week one of the month, not at the quarterly review.
Attribution and incrementality
Last-click is wrong for SEO. We design a measurement model — geo experiments, holdouts, marketing-mix modelling where it's justified — that gives you a defensible read on the channel's true contribution.

SEO service FAQs
How much do SEO services cost?
Retainers start from £4000 / $5000 a month on a 12-month commercial agreement. We size the retainer to the opportunity in your forecast — not to a fixed package — so the work matches what's actually possible in your category.
How long does SEO take to work?
On established sites with no major technical issues, you should expect to see meaningful keyword movement inside the first 90 days and material traffic and revenue gains by month six. Migrations, replatforms and new domains take longer; we'll be candid about the timeline before we sign.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Anyone who guarantees rankings either doesn't understand search or is going to get you penalised. We do guarantee a forecast, a measurement model and a level of senior attention to your account — and we hold ourselves to that.
Who actually does the work on my account?
Every retainer is led by a senior consultant with at least eight years' experience and a named SEO strategist. We don't run a juniors-on-the-floor model. The people on the kick-off are the people you'll be talking to in month nine.
