SEO outsourcing for agencies and small businesses
SEO outsourcing means handing the production work — audits, optimised writing, link building, reporting — to an external team that delivers under your brand. Budget €900 to €2,500 for a technical audit and €600 to €2,500 per month for ongoing work. Deliverables carry no mention of our studio. Firm quote within 24 hours.
What SEO outsourcing covers
Agencies sell SEO more easily than they staff it. The work is steady, unglamorous and hard to hire for at the volume a client roster needs: crawl analysis, redirect plans, briefs, writing, internal linking, monthly reporting. Outsourcing that production is how a small agency keeps the retainer without hiring a full-time specialist per client.
For a company rather than an agency, the same service applies without the white-label layer: a written scope, dated deliverables and a monthly review. It suits businesses whose site is technically sound but has never had its content worked on.
What this is not: a promise of positions. Anyone selling a guaranteed ranking is either lucky or lying. We commit to a volume of deliverables and a method, with monthly reporting that shows real movement — including when there is none.
What we produce
Every deliverable is neutral: no logo, no signature, no mention of our studio. You hand it to your client under your own name.
Technical audits
Full crawl, indexing, Core Web Vitals, structured data, internal linking, redirects. Delivered as a prioritised action list, not a 200-page export.
Keyword research and content plans
Volume, difficulty and intent per query, grouped into an editorial plan matched to the site's real authority rather than to a wish list.
Optimised writing
Articles and landing pages written in English or French by people, not generated and left unread. Two sample texts before any commitment.
On-page optimisation
Titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking and structured data on existing pages, delivered as ready-to-apply changes.
Link building
Directory placement, guest articles and digital PR with the outreach templates. No purchased link networks.
Monthly reporting
Tracked positions, organic traffic, conversions where measurable, work done and next month's priorities. In your template on request.
How much does SEO outsourcing cost?
Audits are quoted per site, ongoing work per month against an agreed volume of deliverables. Amounts are in euros excluding tax.

Our five-step process
- 1
Scope and NDA
A written scope stating deliverables, volumes and dates, plus an NDA signed before any access is granted. For agencies, the white-label terms are set down here.
- 2
Technical audit
Crawl, indexing, performance and structured data, delivered in five to eight working days as a prioritised list with the effort and expected effect of each item.
- 3
Editorial plan
Keyword research grouped by intent, matched to the site's real authority. A plan targeting queries the domain cannot reach is a plan that wastes a year.
- 4
Production in batches
Articles delivered in weekly batches, first batch ten working days after the plan is approved. Technical fixes handed over as applicable changes.
- 5
Monthly review
One document, ready to present: positions, traffic, conversions, work done, next priorities. Raw exports included so your own analysis stays verifiable.
Tools we use
Licences are included in our rates, and raw exports are handed over so your analysis stays reproducible without them.
Why a team in Madagascar?
SEO production is volume work that has to be consistent month after month, which is exactly what a dedicated offshore team is good at and what a stretched in-house generalist is not. Our team is in Antananarivo, one to two hours ahead of Western Europe.
The team works in French and English. French is the language of higher education in Madagascar, so French content is written directly rather than translated — which is the difference between copy a client will publish and copy they will rewrite.
Local costs let us charge 50 to 70 percent less than a European consultancy at the same level. For an agency reselling the work, that is the margin that makes an SEO retainer worth carrying.
