For small businesses

Small business SEO services that ship work every week

You know SEO matters. You can't justify a $60K hire, and you're tired of agencies that touch your account once a month. Cliff is the third option: an SEO employee, priced like software — and you'll know what happened every single week.

Monthly SEO services, compared honestly

01

Hire someone — $60K+/yr

A junior SEO hire costs $60,000+ a year, needs managing, and unless you know SEO yourself, you can't check the work. Most owners at this size rightly pass.

02

Hire an agency — ~$2,500/mo

Typical retainers run $1,500–5,000 a month, and the #1 complaint never changes: 'what's actually happening on my account?' A monthly report is not an answer.

03

Hire Cliff — from $149/mo

Real changes on your site every week, a Monday email saying exactly what happened, and one-click undo on everything. Cancel anytime — he's an employee, not a contract.

What you'll notice

Built for an owner, not an SEO

The whole pitch

You'll know what happened every single week. Not a strategy deck, not a dashboard, not a quarterly review — a working employee who shows you the work.

The things people actually ask before hiring Cliff.

Something unanswered? Ask the team directly

How much do SEO services for small business cost?
The honest ranges: a junior in-house hire runs $60,000+ a year. Typical agency retainers run $1,500–5,000 a month. Cliff starts at $149 a month per website — full plans on the pricing page, cancel anytime.
What does Cliff actually do each week?
He audits your site against live search data, ships the highest-value fixes — titles, descriptions, structured data, internal links, copy edits — verifies each one on the live page, and emails you Monday with what happened. Every single week.
Do I need to understand SEO to use this?
No. The Monday email is written for an owner, not an SEO — what changed, why, and what moved, in plain English. If you do know SEO, you can set tighter rules and review everything before it ships.
What if Cliff changes something I don't like?
Reply 'hold' to any line in the email and it stops. Already shipped? Every change is recorded with its before-state — one click puts it back. And anything sensitive (new pages, prices, claims) always waits for your yes.
How long until I see results?
Changes start shipping in week one, and you'll see each one in writing. Rankings compound over months, not days — anyone promising faster is guessing. What you'll never wonder is whether work is happening: you'll read exactly what happened, every week.
Is 'affordable SEO' just thin SEO?
Often, yes — cheap retainers usually mean your account gets touched once a month by whoever's free. Cliff is affordable for a different reason: software does the labor, so you're not paying for hours. The work itself is page-by-page and on the record.
