You will need to fill 40 seats to cover the cost of this 4 month campaign

*The amount of links we can build will be impacted by the budget and we highly recommend increasing this budget when finances allow. The budget also has an impact on our capacity to support you with your blog content plan, increasing the frequency of content publishing to 4 posts per month is advised.

Your Questions answered

When can we get started?

We are usually running with a 2-4 week lead time for SEO projects.

For instance, if you make the decision to work with us on or before July 7th, we can get started on July 21st  or after. Once you make the decision to work with us, we will get in touch with you to set a start date.

How do we share our ideas and deliver materials to you?

You will receive an email ahead of time to help you collect the information we need to get started.

During the first month of the project, we meet on Zoom to discuss the research.

How much work is involved on our end?

We will need your full cooperation and regular feedback throughout the process:

Kick-off – we need you to provide us with all the content, ideas, access, and technical requirements in order to get started

During the project – you may be required to confirm your email address and other business details to third parties as well as providing any resources or content we request.

What results can we expect?

Initially, we expect to gain increased impressions in Google organic search as your website becomes visible for a larger number of keywords. Within the first three months of the project, we aim to increase the number of keywords for which you appear on the first page of Google search results.

These goals should lead to increased organic traffic and ultimately bookings. This has been the case for all websites we have conducted SEO services for although we do not provide a guarantee of such results.

Who will work on our project

Mellissa (based in Spain) will take the lead on SEO strategy and consulting. Additional support will be provided by Nicky (based in the UK) who is experienced in administration and tech support.

Are there any additional costs involved?

Our price does not include paid link placements/advertising on relevant websites or. abudget for Google Ads.

What are the payment terms?

Your investment will be divided into four equal payments, and we will send you an invoice every month on the first of the month. 

After you accept our proposal, we will send you the first invoice.

We invoice in Euros and accept payments via wise.com, bank transfer or card.

How does our collaboration benefit the planet?

We are passionate about reducing our impact on the environment and giving back.

Part of the revenue for this project will go towards international tree-planting initiatives and helps support us to offset our own carbon footprint.

This project will enable us to plant at least 50 trees.
