Role, hours per week, stack, and time zone. Two minutes on the contact form.
We shortlist from our bench within 48 hours; you interview before anything bills.
Weekly hour logs, direct communication, and the option to swap or scale any time.
Our vetted bench: specialists who deliver client work with us daily. You get the person, we carry the QA and the backup coverage.
Always. The shortlist call costs nothing, and nothing bills until you approve a written weekly scope.
Say so and we swap the profile within a week. Hours already delivered stay billed; the mismatch risk is ours to manage.
Ten hours a week keeps momentum, but we run five-hour advisory arrangements happily.
Your call: fully embedded under your lead, or managed by our senior layer with weekly reporting to you.
Never inside an approved scope. Tier changes only happen when you request a different seniority.
Every service bills at the same senior rate. You approve a written hour estimate before any work starts, and every invoice ships with a task-level time log. No packages, no minimum retainers, no lock-in contracts.
Senior specialists with 8 or more years in search, supported by our AI search research team. We never hand delivery to juniors or outsource it; the person on your kickoff call is the person in your account.
Most engagements kick off within 2 business days of an approved estimate. Urgent fixes, penalties, migrations, or launch deadlines, can start same-day on request.
Yes. We serve the US, UK, Australia, and the Middle East daily, with overlapping working hours and reporting aligned to your time zone.
Classic SEO is not dead; it is the qualifying round. Rankings feed the extraction systems that now decide visibility.
If it is not measured, it is a vibe. These six numbers turn AI search into a line chart leadership can act on.
The difference between cited content and ignored content is decided in the brief, before a writer types a word.
Sometimes the right answer is not a scoped project but a person: a specialist embedded in your team, working to your priorities, week after week. Hiring an expert by the hour gives you that without the cost and delay of recruitment, the risk of a bad permanent hire, or the blended mystery rate that most staffing arrangements bury. You pick the seniority the work actually needs, from an execution-ready junior to a fractional search lead, you interview before anything bills, and you can swap or scale the arrangement any time. The person is drawn from the same bench that delivers our client work, which means you get someone who does this daily, backed by the quality control and coverage of a team, rather than a lone freelancer whose availability is a single point of failure.
The most common staffing mistake is paying senior rates for junior work, or worse, assigning junior capacity to work that genuinely needs a strategist. Our four tiers exist to prevent both. Execution-heavy work like on-page rollouts, citation cleanup, and reporting assembly is well served by a junior or mid-level specialist, while outcomes like a full AEO or GEO program, a migration, or a forensic recovery need a senior, and roadmap ownership or board reporting calls for a lead. Because you can mix tiers within one engagement, you pay the right rate for each type of work rather than a single blended figure that overcharges for the routine and undercharges for the hard. The result is usually a lower total cost than a fixed retainer for the same output, with far more visibility into where the hours went.
Everything about hiring an expert here is designed to keep the risk yours to control rather than ours to exploit. You interview the match before committing, nothing bills until you approve a weekly scope, and if the fit is wrong we swap the profile within a week with only the delivered hours billed. There is no recruiting fee, no long contract, and no minimum beyond the ten hours a week that keeps momentum, though we run five-hour advisory arrangements happily. You decide whether the specialist is fully embedded under your own lead or managed by our senior layer with weekly reporting to you. Rates never change inside an approved scope, and a tier only changes when you request a different level of seniority, so budgeting stays predictable even as the work evolves.
