SEO has a reputation problem, and it earned it. Vague reports. Jargon nobody explains. Promises about page one that never quite arrive, from people you never quite reach.

Creative Baguette does the monthly work that helps the right people find your website, and explains it in plain English.

What we did. Why it matters. What is next.

What monthly SEO management includes

Technical
health

The things Google cares about

We keep an eye on indexing, speed, mobile behaviour, broken links and the technical issues that quietly cost visibility.

Content
improvements

Match what people search

Titles, descriptions, headings and page copy are refined over time so important pages match what your clients actually search for.

Google Business
Profile

Optimised and monitored

Your profile is what most local clients see first. We optimise it, monitor it and keep it accurate and active, so it works with the website rather than against it.

A report you will
actually read

Plain English, monthly

One short monthly summary. What we did, what changed and what we recommend next. No 40-page PDF. No dashboard homework.

What we will never promise.

Nobody can guarantee rankings. Not us, not anyone. Google does not take bookings.

What we can promise is honest monthly work, clear reporting and recommendations we would make if it were our own business.

If we think SEO is not the best use of your budget, we will say so.

What we need from you: almost nothing. A short chat at the start about what work you want more of, then a few minutes reading the monthly summary. No keyword spreadsheets, no homework.

Worth being honest about the proof, too: we do not have an SEO case study yet. What we can show you is Murphy’s Plumbing, who had no website at all and word of mouth only, and now gets one to two jobs a month through the site. Getting found is the same problem, approached from the other end.

What clients say about working with us

Before working with Creative Baguette, our online presence was lacking, and we weren’t reaching as many people as we could. Since the new website launch, I’ve noticed a significant increase in inquiries, and more people are finding and engaging with my business.

SEO management from $400/month.

  • The exact scope depends on the website, the market and how competitive your area is.
  • Three-month minimum, then month to month. Not to lock you in. SEO takes months to show movement, and a one-month trial would just be you paying for setup and seeing nothing.
  • Google Business Profile setup ($150) is waived with an SEO retainer.
  • You will know the price and the monthly inclusions before anything starts.

Not sure what needs work? Start with a website audit ($450 to $650). It shows exactly where the opportunities are, and the audit fee is credited if we complete the work.

SEO management FAQs

Do you guarantee first-page rankings?

No, and we recommend being careful with anyone who does.

We do the monthly work that improves visibility over time and report honestly on progress.

How long until results?

SEO is cumulative. Meaningful movement usually takes months, not weeks, depending on your market and starting point.

We will tell you honestly what pace to expect for your situation.

What about AI search, like ChatGPT or Google’s AI overviews?

The same work that helps Google helps AI tools: a technically healthy site, clear pages that say what you do and where, and accurate business details.

There is no separate “AI SEO” trick worth paying for. If that changes, we will tell you in your monthly summary.

Do I need a care plan too?

They work best together, because the same person looks after the website and its visibility.

We will recommend the combination that makes sense, not the biggest one.

Can you do SEO on a website you did not build?

Usually, yes.

We start with an audit so we understand the site’s condition before recommending monthly work.

Honest monthly work, clear reporting, and advice we would give our own business.
