The catalogue

Indexed by the moment you need them.

Every resource explains search visibility to a non-expert client, in language they actually read. Each is independently useful; in sequence they are the system a retainer runs on.

01 The four conversations

  1. 01 · week one

    Why SEO takes time

    Your client expected results in thirty days. It is month two. You have had this conversation before, and you will not bill for it.

    The kickoff conversation. Hand it over in week one, before the first 'where are the results' email exists.

  2. 02 · kickoff to day 90

    What happens in the first 90 days

    Three months in, your client cannot see what they are paying for, and you cannot show them a ranking yet.

    The working plan. Signed at kickoff, it runs the first quarter's checkpoints, evidence, and reviews.

  3. 03 · every review

    What we can and cannot control

    Your client blames you for a competitor's investment, an algorithm update, and their own unanswered emails.

    The alignment system. Brought to every review so issues land in a responsibility zone, not in an argument.

  4. 04 · when the screenshot arrives

    Why Google rankings fluctuate

    Your client checks rankings daily and panics weekly at movement that means nothing.

    The panic antidote. Sent the morning a screenshot arrives, before anyone reacts to one day's reading.
