Managed SEO Services: We Run Your SEO Every Month
Managed SEO means an outside team runs your SEO for you every month, from research to published pages, while you see the results instead of doing the work. SeoVision does exactly that: we research your keywords, publish 30 articles a month on your site, fix technical problems after your OK, earn backlinks and track your brand in AI answers. It is $149 a month per site, with no contract.

Definition
What managed SEO services are and why they matter in 2026
Managed SEO services hand the whole job to someone else. Instead of buying a tool and learning it, or paying for a one-off audit that ends as a list of tasks, you pay a monthly fee and the provider does the research, the content, the technical work and the links, and shows you all of it.
It matters more in 2026 because search has split in two. Your buyers still use Google, and they also ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews, which answer directly and name a few businesses. Keeping up with both takes steady work every week, and steady work is exactly what a busy team drops first.
Managed SEO is also different from a one-off project. An audit or a site cleanup ends on a date, and the site starts to drift the week after: new pages without titles, a redirect that breaks, a competitor that publishes more than you. Managed SEO keeps going. Your site is scanned again every week, so a new problem shows up on its own, and another article joins your site every day.
Some people call it an SEO management service. The name matters less than one question: does the provider do the work, or hand it back to you? We do the work. Software handles the daily jobs, and as an SEO management company we keep our team on top of it: a dedicated account manager for your project, priority 24/7 support and a health check of every paying project each morning.

Who it's for
Who managed SEO services fit best
Managed SEO is not for everyone. If your team has an SEO specialist with time to spare, a tool may be enough. Our managed SEO fits best when:
- Nobody on your team owns SEO, or the person who does has other jobs
- Your blog has gone quiet because nobody has time to write
- You have an audit report from last year and most of it is still undone
- You sell in more than one country, and our team can add up to 3 extra markets to a site, in its main language
- You run several sites and want one account, with 10% off every site once you have two
- You want your brand named in AI answers, not only ranked on Google
- You want to approve the changes on your site without making them yourself

Managed SEO services vs doing it yourself
Doing SEO yourself is possible, and many owners start there. This is what each path asks of you.
| Managed SEO with SeoVision | Doing it yourself | |
|---|---|---|
| Your time | Minutes to connect, then approvals | Hours every week |
| Monthly cost | $149 per site | About $130 to $500 for SEO software |
| Keyword research | Done for you, refreshed monthly | You run the tool and pick the keywords |
| Articles | 30 a month, written and published | You write and publish them |
| Technical problems | Found weekly, fixed after your OK | A tool lists them, you fix them |
| Backlinks | Placed through our exchange | Outreach emails you write and chase |
| AI answers | 70 prompts tracked weekly | Some tools, often at extra cost |
| When something breaks | Our team notices that morning | You notice when traffic drops |

Timeline
When you will see results from managed SEO
The work starts on day one. The results take longer, because Google needs time to crawl new pages, understand them and trust your site on competitive searches.
In the first weeks you get the audit, the first fixes and the first articles live and checked for indexing. Over the next months your articles start to collect impressions in Search Console, usually on long, specific searches first, and the first queries move into positions 4 to 20, where a refreshed article can help them climb. Broad, competitive searches come last.
Nobody can promise a position on Google, and a managed SEO provider that does is guessing. With Search Console connected, each fixed page shows its clicks, impressions and position for 28 days before and after, so you can judge the work on your own numbers.
What managed SEO with us does not include
We do not build or redesign websites, and we do not fix load speed, hosting or your theme's mobile layout. For those you get the exact steps to give your developer or host.
We do not manage your Google Business Profile, your reviews or your address, and we have no office to visit. If you want someone in a room with you every month, a local agency fits better. If you want the work done and visible every day, that is what we do.
Questions
Managed SEO services: frequently asked questions
What is managed SEO?
Managed SEO is SEO run for you by an outside team for a monthly fee: keyword research, content, technical fixes, links and reporting. You approve what touches your site and see the results, without doing the work yourself.
What does an SEO manager do?
An SEO manager plans what to publish, makes sure it ships, keeps the site technically healthy, oversees link building and reports on results. With us, software does the daily work and your dedicated account manager keeps an eye on your project.
How much do monthly SEO services cost?
Ahrefs' survey of 439 SEO providers found the most common monthly retainer at $501 to $1,000, with agencies averaging about $3,200 a month. Our managed SEO is $149 a month per site, with 30 articles, technical fixes, backlinks and AI tracking included.
What is included in an SEO maintenance package?
It typically covers a regular technical check, small fixes and a monthly report. Ours goes further: a weekly technical scan with fixes you approve, an article published every day, backlinks, AI visibility tracking and up to 5 full audits a month.
Is SEO legitimate?
Yes. Google publishes its own guide on helping search engines understand your site, and good SEO follows it. What is not legitimate is buying links from spam sites or promising rankings. Our links come from real business sites, in three-way chains or one way and never as swaps, and we never promise a position.
How do I choose a managed SEO provider?
Ask what ships every month, who does it, where you can see it, where the links come from and whether there is a contract. A good provider answers all five plainly. Ours are on this page.
How much work is managed SEO for me?
Connecting your site, pressing Start and approving what touches your site: technical fixes, and articles if you choose drafts. Everything else runs on its own, and our team watches it.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There is no contract, you cancel in one click in Billing and nothing is charged after you cancel. New customers can start with a 3-day trial for $1.
