Foundation SEO package

Fix the base and get the first results.

Foundation is the entry level of our SEO packages. It fixes the technical errors on the site and optimizes the pages that already rank, so the first results show early.

It is the level we recommend for starting to work together. You check the results over six months, then decide whether to stay or move up to Growth.

Fit

Who Foundation is for

  • You want to test the collaboration before a larger commitment.
  • The site has technical errors that nobody has fixed.
  • You have pages that already rank and could rank higher.
  • AI search is not yet a priority beyond the basics.

At this level the AEO and GEO part is limited to basic structured data. Work on visibility in AI assistants starts with Growth.
