The SEO hiring reality

Everyone claims to do SEO. Very few actually move the needle.

Real SEO talent is rare

The title is everywhere. Genuine expertise is not.

Hiring takes months

Sourcing, interviews and notice periods stall your growth.

Generalists chase vanity metrics

Traffic that never turns into leads or revenue.

Technical SEO is a specialism

Crawl, indexation and Core Web Vitals need real depth.

Workload is uneven

Migrations and launches need three people. Steady state needs one.

AI search changed the rules

Ranking is no longer enough. You need to get cited too.

Frequently Answered Questions

What teams ask before hiring

How quickly can a specialist start?

We share matched profiles within 48 hours of your brief. Once you interview and approve someone, they typically start within five working days. There are no notice periods to wait out because our specialists are already on our team.

Can I hire for one SEO discipline only?

Yes. Hire a pure technical SEO, a content and on-page specialist, a link builder, a local SEO or an AEO and GEO specialist. If you need broad coverage, hire a full SEO pod that combines all of them under one PM.

How soon will we see ranking movement?

Technical fixes often show gains within 60 to 90 days. Content and links compound over the following quarters. We set the right expectations up front and report against leads and revenue, not just rankings.

Do your experts handle AEO and GEO?

Yes. Getting cited inside ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity answers is now core to how we work. Our specialists optimise content and structure so you show up in AI answers as well as traditional search results.

Can the specialist work directly with our clients?

Yes if you want that. Many agencies keep us fully behind the scenes, while others have our specialists join client calls under their agency brand. NDAs are available on every engagement either way.

Is there a minimum contract length?

No long-term lock-in. Monthly engagements roll month to month and audits or projects end when the scope does. You can scale hours up or down as your workload changes.
