Your Fully Managed Package

Single target area

Local SEO campaign

We build a focused SEO campaign for your firm in one target area. That means a full audit, topical clusters of content built around the questions your clients actually ask, internal linking and on-page work so Google sees you as the credible answer and ranks you for the searches that bring enquiries.

The map pack

Google Maps management

When an employer searches for a recruitment agency near them, the three firms in the Google Maps pack take most of the enquiries. We optimise and manage your Google Business Profile, keep it accurate and build the signals that get you into that pack, so local employers find you first.

Profile optimisationMap pack rankingPosts and updatesReview prompts
Two posts a week

Facebook management

We run your Facebook page with on-brand posts twice a week that keep your firm visible and build familiarity. People rarely hand their money to a name they have never seen, so staying in front of your local audience makes the eventual enquiry far more likely.

Instagram management

We post to Instagram twice a week with content that puts a human face to your agency. Recruitment runs on relationships, so showing the people and the thinking behind your work helps employers and candidates feel they know you before they ever call.

LinkedIn management

LinkedIn is where credibility is won in recruitment. We post twice a week to build your professional profile, reach hiring managers and business owners and position you as a trusted, established agency rather than a stranger with a website.

The next search frontier

AI optimisation

More employers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to recommend a recruitment agency. We make your agency legible and credible to those tools so you get found, cited and recommended in AI answers, which matters even more in recruitment where trust decides everything.

Website management

Your website is where every prospect decides whether to trust you, so we keep it maintained. Ongoing updates, fixes, new pages and the technical upkeep that keeps it fast, healthy and ready to turn a cautious visitor into a booked consultation.

Based on monthly Google search volume estimates for recruitment agency searches, June 2026. The top 50 UK towns and cities by demand, listed alphabetically with their monthly search rank. Big network brands and generic job board searches are excluded. London dominates, so the bars are shown in true proportion. We will pull the exact numbers for your own area in your free audit.
Why us

Be the recruitment agency they find and trust first

Your future clients are searching right now

Every day, employers search Google, scroll social media and ask AI tools to recommend a recruitment agency. They choose whoever shows up and looks trustworthy. If that is not you, that client becomes someone else's client instead.

That is the whole job. We make sure your firm is the one they find, in the map pack, in local search, across social media and inside AI answers, at the moment they are ready to act on their money.

Everything pulls in one direction

Most recruitment agencies buy SEO from one place, social from another and a website from a third. Nothing joins up. We run all of it together, so your reviews feed your rankings, your social feeds your reputation and every channel sends people to a website built to win their trust.

So you get more from your money. One team, one plan and one monthly fee covering your whole online presence, which is why a single £350 package can do the work of several separate suppliers.

Built to beat the big networks

Recruitment is a credibility business, so Google judges your pages on trust and your content has to be accurate and genuinely useful to employers and candidates. We build with that in mind and nobody controls Google, so anyone promising a guaranteed number one ranking is not being straight with you.

We work differently. You get realistic expectations, content that wins the employer and niche searches the big networks overlook, clear measurement of how your visibility actually changes and flexible terms rather than a guarantee nobody can keep.

Play with the numbers

What could a few more clients a year be worth?

Drag the sliders to your own figures and see how quickly new placements add up against a £350 monthly spend. A single placement fee dwarfs the monthly cost, so even a few matter.

The difference

One joined-up package vs the usual way

Here is how one managed £350 package compares to buying everything piece by piece.

Path A

The piecemeal way

  • Separate suppliers. SEO here, social there, website somewhere else.
  • Nothing joins up. No shared plan, no shared results.
  • Several invoices. The bills add up fast.
  • Network blind spot. Generalists chase generic job terms the big boards already own.
  • Empty promises. Guaranteed rankings nobody can keep.
Path B

The recruitment agency package

  • One team. Everything handled in one place.
  • One joined-up plan. Every channel pulling together.
  • One £350 fee. Simple monthly cost, no surprises.
  • Network smart. Content built to win the employer searches that convert.
  • Honest measurement. Real visibility, no false promises.

Frequently asked

Recruitment Agency SEO questions

What is included in the £350 package?
For one monthly fee you get a complete managed package built around a single target area. That covers an SEO campaign for your firm, full Google Maps and Google Business Profile management, a managed Facebook account, a managed Instagram account and a managed LinkedIn account with two posts a week on each, AI optimisation so the AI search tools can find and recommend you and ongoing website management. It is the full package most recruitment agencies choose, handled in one place by one team that understands the recruitment market.
How much does SEO cost for a recruitment agency?
Our most popular package is £350 a month and includes local SEO, Google Maps management, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn management, AI optimisation and website management for a single target area. If you want to rank across several towns or compete nationally we offer larger packages up to £1550 a month. Every package keeps terms flexible and starts with a free audit so you can see where your firm stands before you commit.
How long does SEO take to work for a recruitment agency?
Usually a few months rather than weeks, with the effect compounding over time. Recruitment is a relationship and trust led business, so Google weighs experience, expertise, authority and trust, so the credibility you build takes time to register. Most recruitment agencies see meaningful progress across three to six months, with bigger gains over six to twelve. We are honest about this. Nobody can guarantee a number one ranking by a set date, so we focus on steady, measurable progress in your visibility rather than promises nobody can keep.
Can recruitment agencies outrank Indeed and the big job boards?
Not for the generic job listings, which is fine. Job boards like Indeed and Totaljobs and the big networks are built to dominate broad job searches. What you can win is everything else Google owns: searches for the best recruitment agency in a sector or area, hiring manager questions, salary guides and niche role searches. Those are where the valuable employer enquiries are and they are wide open to a focused agency, so that is exactly what we target.
Will you guarantee me a number one ranking?
No and you should be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google or the AI search tools and how they rank firms changes constantly, so guaranteed placement is not something any honest agency can promise. What we can do is build the credibility, content, reviews and authority that genuinely improve your chances of being found and chosen, then measure how your visibility changes over time. For a recruitment agency that honest approach matters more than a promise that cannot be kept.
