Retainer

Full Stack Local SEO.

Everything in Local SEO Management plus technical fixes, on-page optimization, content production, and review velocity campaigns. For single-location businesses with growth ambitions — or multi-location operators up to 3 locations. Saves $250/month versus buying the components piecemeal.

The short version

What this actually is.

Full Stack is the same discipline as the base retainer with the constraints removed. On Local SEO Management I am working within a fixed monthly allocation, which means when your site has a technical problem and your content is thin and your review velocity is behind, I have to pick one. Here I do not have to pick. Technical fixes, content production, on-page work, and review campaigns all run in the same month.

That matters most in a competitive category. If three companies in your city are all running competent local SEO, the base retainer keeps you level with them and Full Stack is what pulls ahead — because the compounding assets, published content and technical health, are the part most competitors never get to. It also matters if your site has real debt: slow pages, missing schema, an internal link structure nothing can crawl properly.

The trade is that it only pays back at a certain size. Two to four posts a month and ongoing technical work is meaningful spend, and it needs enough transaction volume behind it to return. If you are not sure whether you are there yet, the audit will tell you, and it credits toward whichever retainer you land on.

Who this is for — and who it isn't .

This is for you if...

  • Single-location businesses doing $1M+ with growth ambitions
  • Multi-location operators with 2-3 locations
  • Competitive vertical where baseline retainer won't keep up
  • Business with capacity to implement non-SEO feedback (UX, pricing, ops)
  • Commitment to compounding content + technical investment

This isn't for you if...

  • Businesses that just need GBP and citations handled (base retainer is enough)
  • 4+ locations (needs enterprise scoping — email me)
  • Not yet producing own content or happy with existing content quality

Quarterly
Your side

What I need from you .

None of this is heavy, but the engagement stalls without it. Worth knowing before you commit rather than in week three.

  • Everything the base retainer needs — GBP and CMS access, accurate NAP, job photos, a decision-maker who responds
  • Subject-matter access: 20-30 minutes a month with someone who actually does the work, so content is not generic
  • Developer availability for technical fixes I cannot ship myself, or permission to work directly in the codebase
  • A review request workflow your team will actually follow — the campaign only scales if the request goes out after every job
Reporting

What arrives, and when .

  • Everything in the base retainer reporting, plus content performance tracked per published piece
  • Technical health tracked over time: Core Web Vitals, crawl errors, schema coverage
  • Quarterly competitor analysis with a tactical response plan, not just a ranking comparison
  • Monthly 60-minute call rather than 30 — the extra half hour is where content direction gets decided
Before you commit

Questions worth asking .

How is this actually different from the base retainer?

The base retainer manages your local presence. Full Stack also builds assets: published content, technical improvements, and review volume that keep compounding whether or not you stay engaged. If your local fundamentals are already handled and you are still not winning, the gap is almost always content and technical health, which is what this adds.

Is the content actually written by you?

Yes. That is why it needs 20-30 minutes of your time a month — the difference between content that ranks and content that reads like every other page in your category is whether it contains things only someone who does the work would know.

Can I start on the base retainer and upgrade?

That is the common path and usually the smart one. Run the base retainer for a quarter, see what the reporting says, and step up if the ceiling is content or technical rather than GBP and citations. Upgrading mid-engagement is a scope change, not a new contract.

What if I have 4 or more locations?

That needs separate scoping rather than this tier. Per-location GBPs, review workflows, and location pages multiply the coordination in a way a fixed monthly rate does not absorb honestly. Email me and we will size it properly.
