SEO

Rank for the queries
that close.

Not the vanity queries that pad agency reports. We target the 20–50 keywords that actually lead to booked calls — and the AI-search questions your competitors still don't know exist.

In short

AutomateIn1Day runs SEO retainers for UK small businesses. The focus is rankings on queries that actually close customers, not vanity metrics. Foundation tier at £500 per month covers technical SEO, on-page work, and monthly reporting. Higher tiers add content production, AI search optimisation (AEO and GEO), competitor tracking, and link building. All prices exclude VAT. Three-month minimum, then rolling monthly with no exit fees.

Use cases

Real outcomes, real sectors.

Local service (single location)

Dominate the 5–10 local queries that drive 80% of your call-volume. Google Business optimisation + local citations + intent-matched service pages.

Multi-location / franchise

Per-location landing pages, shared content hub, and a review/citation strategy that scales without diluting the brand signal.

National B2B

Technical SEO audit, pillar-and-cluster content strategy, and digital PR for link-building that passes Google's EEAT signal.

E-commerce

Category-page optimisation, product schema, and content-led SEO for top-of-funnel queries ("how to choose X") where ads are expensive.

Professional services

Expert-content SEO: the articles your prospects actually research before booking, structured so Google and ChatGPT surface them.

AI search (AEO / GEO)

The new SEO: structured answers, clean schemas, and content the LLMs cite when someone asks ChatGPT about your category.

How we work

The process, end to end.

01

Audit & strategy

Technical audit, competitor landscape, keyword and AI-query mapping. Output: a 90-day plan with measurable targets.

02

Foundations

Fix technical debt — site structure, schemas, Core Web Vitals, internal linking. The unglamorous work that 80% of agencies skip.

03

Content engine

Monthly content aligned to the keyword plan. Every article written for a real prospect question, not for word count.

04

Review & iterate

Monthly report that names the queries you ranked for and the revenue they drove. Pivots based on what's working, not hopes.

Questions & answers

Common questions about this service.

Local SEO and long-tail queries: 2–4 weeks for first movements, 3–6 months for sustained rankings. Competitive national queries: 6–12 months. Anyone promising faster is either buying links (penalty risk) or targeting queries that don't actually convert.
No reputable SEO does. Google's algorithm changes constantly and ranking depends on competitors' actions too. We guarantee the work — the plan, the content, the technical fixes — and we're transparent about what's working monthly.
Ads stop the moment you stop paying. SEO compounds — the article that ranks today is still ranking next year. For most SMEs, SEO is a 10x ROI compared to ads over 24 months. Best case: run both, because they target different buying stages.
We're happy to audit what they're doing for free as part of a scoping call. Sometimes they're great and we tell you to stay put. Sometimes they're billing for things that aren't moving rankings — and we show you the data.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) are about ranking inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews — not just the classic 10 blue links. Different game: structured answers, clean schemas, citations. We build this into every SEO retainer now.
Both. Local starts at £500/mo and includes Google Business + local citations. National starts at £1,500/mo and includes technical + content + link-building. The cheaper plan isn't "worse" — it's scoped to the smaller query volume you have locally.
