Compared: an agency retainer

Know which pages you need? Pay per piece, not per month.

A retainer pays an agency each month for an agreed range of work. We sell single pieces: a sales page or an article, researched, written, checked and published, with the exact total shown before you pay and nothing that renews. Judge one free: up to 2 websites per account, no card.

Side by side

What each one is built to do

An agency on a retainer: you agree a monthly fee and a scope for a set term. The work can cover strategy, technical fixes, content, outreach and reporting, with an account manager who gets to know your business. What it costs, what it covers and how long you are committed depend on the agency and the contract.

Ordering from us: you buy pieces, one at a time or in packs: sales pages, articles and dedicated blogs. We research, write, design, check and publish each one, then send a report with the live links. You pay once per order, see the exact total first, and nothing renews.

A retainer suits you if you want one team to own your whole search strategy. We suit you if you know which pages and articles you need and want them made and published without a monthly commitment.

We don't do strategy calls, technical audits, ad management or ranking reports, and we don't promise results: we make and publish the pages and articles, and you judge what they do.
Line by line

Retainer or per piece, side by side

What a retainer costs and covers depends on the agency and the contract, so this compares how each one works, not prices.

An agency retainerPer piece with WannaSEO
Commitment A monthly fee for the term in your contract One order at a time; packs are one-time and nothing renews
Scope Whatever the contract covers, which can include strategy and technical work Sales pages, articles and dedicated blogs, made and published
Before you pay A proposal and a monthly fee The exact total for the pieces you pick, before checkout
Who you deal with An account manager who gets to know your business A person who replies to every message within about one business day
What you get back The agency's own reports and calls A delivery report on the web and as a PDF with every live link; its links never expire
If you need someone to plan your strategy, fix your website and report every month, an agency is set up for that. You can also use both: order pages or articles from us when the retainer doesn't cover them.

Questions

Retainer questions, answered plainly

Still unsure? Write to us: a person replies within about one business day.

Is paying per piece cheaper than a retainer?

It depends on what the retainer covers, so we don't compare prices we can't check. Ours are on the pricing page, and you see the exact total before you pay.

Do you handle my SEO strategy?

No. We make and publish sales pages, articles and dedicated blogs. If you need someone to plan your strategy, fix your website and report every month, an agency is set up for that.

Is there a contract or a minimum term?

No. You pay per order, packs are one-time purchases, and nothing renews automatically.

Can I use both?

Yes. If your agency doesn't produce pages or articles, or you need more than the retainer covers, you can order them from us per piece. Every live link is in the report, ready to pass on.

Do you report on rankings?

No. The report lists what we made and where it went live, with every link. We don't track or promise rankings.

What happens after the free start?

Nothing, unless you order. Packs are one-time purchases and nothing renews automatically.

What if something misses the brief?

Tell us and we correct it at no charge: wrong facts, wrong tone, wrong emphasis or any mistake on our side. A new offer, audience or topic is new work, and we say which it is before doing anything.

Can I get a refund?

If you cancel before we start work, we refund the full amount. After work has started, we refund what you paid for any part not yet delivered.
