For Web Design Agencies

You built the site. Three months later they asked why it isn't ranking. You had no answer, and you lost the retainer.

QUICK ANSWER

Why do web design agencies add SEO?

The short version

Web design agencies add SEO because a website project ends and a retainer does not. Once the site launches, the client's next question is almost always about traffic. An agency with no answer to that question hands the ongoing relationship, and the recurring revenue, to somebody else.

THE RETAINER GAP

The project ends. The retainer does not have to.

You are in project revenue. Build, invoice, done. Then you go and find another client, forever.

The SEO agency who picks the client up after you is on a monthly retainer for the next three years, on the site you built.

The site is live. Now it needs to rank. That is a conversation you can have on the day you hand over.

FAQ

Questions web design agencies ask.

Can a web design agency sell SEO?

Yes, and it is the most natural upsell in the industry, because the client asks the question anyway.

I have no SEO knowledge. Can I still sell it?

Yes. You sell it and own the client. We deliver it and give you the reporting and the talking points.

Do you build the site too?

Yes, if you want. Webflow, Framer, WordPress and Shopify.

Will the site I already built work for SEO?

We will audit it and tell you honestly. Sometimes yes. Sometimes there is technical debt to clear first.
