03 How
it works

  1. 01
    Review current pages and search signals

    We look at the existing pages, structure, metadata and how the site is currently understood by search.

  2. 02
    Identify missing or weak foundations

    Gaps in page titles, headings, internal links, service-page clarity and local relevance are noted.

  3. 03
    Improve agreed items or provide a clear action plan

    We either make the improvements directly or hand over a prioritised plan you can work through.

  4. 04
    Check indexability and Search Console basics

    Sitemap, indexing, errors and basic Search Console signals are checked and cleaned up.

  5. 05
    Recommend next content or service-page improvements

04 Pricing

Projects start at

Final pricing depends on the size of the website, the number of priority pages and whether recommendations are implemented by Mainline or handed over as an action plan. This is a focused foundations project, not an ongoing SEO campaign or a guarantee of rankings.

05 FAQs

  • 01Is this a full SEO campaign?+
    No. SEO Foundations focuses on getting the basics right: structure, metadata, internal linking, service-page clarity and local relevance. It is not a monthly content or link-building campaign.
  • 02Do you guarantee rankings?+
    No. Anyone guaranteeing search rankings should be treated with caution. We focus on the work that genuinely helps your pages be understood and considered.
  • 03What is included in SEO Foundations?+
    A review and improvement of page titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal links, image alt text, indexability, Search Console checks and local keyword alignment, with a priority action plan.
  • 04Do I need new pages?+
    Sometimes. If a service is missing a proper page or the structure is too thin, we will recommend new or improved pages as part of the action plan.
  • 05Does this include local SEO?+
    It covers the local relevance side of your website. The Google Business Profile side is handled separately under Google Business Profile Review & Optimisation.
  • 06Can this be added to a website refresh?+
    Yes. SEO Foundations is often combined with a refresh or a new website, so structure, copy and metadata are improved together.
