SEO Strategies

A good SEO proposal in the UK should include a SEO strategies section, that explains the approach for organic search performance, technical SEO, on-page content and relevance, along with off-page authority. It should include these elements as technical issues can suppress your on-page and off-page SEO, for example. The proposal should explain how these will be addressed.

When it comes to technical SEO, the proposal should include how your website's health will be improved and maintained. The on-page strategy should clearly explain the content and page structure approach, along with the pages to be created, optimised, and how keyword targeting hierarchy will be structured. The off-page strategy should provide you with information on the agencies link acquisition approach, the types of links pursued, and the methods used.

Good SEO proposals in the UK also include a content strategy, designed around a clear topical authority model, identifying topic areas relevant to your business. It should cover how they will build a hub of content, establishing your authority in your niche. 

Comprehensive Audit

Every SEO proposal in the UK should be designed around a comprehensive audit of your current website performance. At proposal stage, the audit does not need to be full-length, but it should identify your organic performance data, identify any technical issues, assess keyword opportunities, and identify your competitive positioning. Any proposals that do not include the foundation audit work, means the agency is guessing or using a standard proposal template, offering a one size fits all approach.

At this stage, audits typically cover organic traffic performance from Google Search Console, technical health from a crawler, and keyword positioning for current rankings. It includes a backlink profile summary and competitive comparison. This is what ensures the proposal has clear priorities, with each element clearly explained along with recommendations.

Always be wary of an agency that sends you a proposal without asking for access to your Google Analytics data or Google Search Console. This means that they have not done the necessary work your proposal needs. The audit helps understand where your current opportunities are, along with any issues that need to be addressed. 

Conclusion

A SEO proposal in the UK should be specific to your business, providing clear recommendations for each element with a realistic assessment of the time line for results, combined with transparent pricing, without the risk of hidden costs.
