Good questions

Before the first month.

What does an SEO retainer with Uppercut Labs include?

Every retainer includes a technical SEO audit with ongoing fixes, on-page optimisation across your priority pages, and monthly reporting tied to rankings, traffic and enquiries. Growth and Authority tiers add content production, link building, digital PR and custom development work.

How much does an SEO retainer cost?

Every retainer is bespoke — final pricing depends on scope, competition and the current health of your site. Tell us your goals and we'll put together a proposal built around them.

How is Uppercut Labs different from a typical SEO agency?

We are a creative engineering studio, not a reporting agency. Because we design and build websites and software ourselves, we fix the technical problems most SEO agencies can only flag - site speed, rendering, schema, information architecture - as part of the same retainer.

How long until SEO results show?

Technical fixes and on-page changes typically start moving rankings within four to eight weeks. Content and authority building compound over three to six months. We are honest about this timeline up front: anyone promising first-page rankings in a fortnight is guessing or gaming.

Do you optimise for AI search like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes. Every retainer covers generative engine optimisation (GEO) as standard: structured data, entity signals, llms.txt, and content structured so AI assistants can cite it. Search is no longer only ten blue links, and your SEO should reflect that.

Is there a minimum contract length?

Retainers run month to month after an initial three-month term. Three months is the shortest window in which SEO work can be honestly evaluated; beyond that, we expect to keep the work on results, not lock-in.
