Traditional SEO Services
Built for Businesses Competing Beyond One Market
When buyers are spread across cities, regions or the whole country, the work changes shape. Traditional SEO is strategy, strategic pages, technical monitoring and authority, measured against a competitive field rather than a service area.

Sized by Reach
Is This You
Who Traditional SEO Is For
All four describe reach rather than size. One address selling nationally belongs here; seven addresses inside one metro does not.
Multiple Markets
The business sells into more than one city, region or state, and the same search returns a different set of competitors in each of them.
Multiple Service Lines
Several distinct offerings, each with its own buyers and its own search language. One page trying to hold all of them ranks for none of them.
Competitive Search
High-value searches with established competitors already sitting on them, where progress starts on the specific terms rather than the broadest one.
Longer Buying Cycles
Procurement, requests for quotes and research-heavy purchases rather than a phone call. Several people search for different things before one decision is made.
What You Get
What Traditional SEO Includes
Every package includes all five. Tiers differ by scale, not by what is included.
SEO Strategy & Roadmap
A plan for the quarter with the reasoning behind the order, rather than a list of tasks arriving one at a time.
Strategic SEO Pages
Pages built for specific searches worth competing for, produced to a schedule rather than when there is time.
Technical Monitoring
Crawling, indexing and site health watched month to month, with issues flagged as they appear rather than found in an annual audit.
Reporting & Monthly Recap
Dashboard reporting alongside a recap delivered by Loom or a video call, so somebody explains it rather than sending it.
Authority-Building Recommendations
What would strengthen the site's authority and why, as advice you can act on. Recommendations, not placements bought on your behalf.
Common Fits
Industries That Usually Land Here
Businesses in other industries fit here too when they compete across several markets. Reach matters more than sector.
Coverage
Coverage That Scales With the Business
The three tiers are not different services. They are the same work applied to a wider footprint: more keywords tracked, more competitors watched, and more strategic pages produced each month.
Which one fits comes out of the visibility review rather than out of a headcount. A business competing in two states against four serious competitors is a different problem from one competing nationally against ten, and the coverage is what has to match.
| Regional | National | National+ | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tracked keywords | Up to 60 | Up to 75 | Up to 90 |
| Tracked competitors | Up to 5 | Up to 8 | Up to 10 |
| Strategic pages a month | Up to 2 | Up to 3 | Up to 4 |
In Detail
Content and Technical Work, Explained
Three items from the list above that get misread more often than the rest.
Strategic SEO Pages
Pages built for a specific search that a buyer actually makes, with the depth to answer it. They are not blog posts: a blog post is published and left, a strategic page is built to rank for something and maintained until it does.
Technical Monitoring
Ongoing issue flagging rather than a one-time audit. Sites break quietly, and a redirect chain or a noindex tag introduced during a redesign can undo months of work before anyone notices.
Authority-Building Recommendations
JMC advises on authority building and does not sell link placements. What you get is what would genuinely strengthen the site's standing and why, including the parts you are best placed to do yourself. Bought links are a risk taken with your domain, not with the agency's.

Working With Something Bigger?
Some engagements do not fit a tier. Several brands under one owner, a dozen service lines, a migration running alongside the SEO work, or a footprint wider than National+ covers.
Those get scoped rather than priced from a card. JMC looks at the sites, the markets and the competitive field, and comes back with what the work would involve, what it would cost, and what the first quarter would be spent on. The same monthly recap applies whatever the size.
Another Way In
Or Start With a Launch Sprint
A Launch Sprint is a fixed-scope piece of work bought once rather than monthly: the audit, the technical foundation and the first set of pages, done in one pass so a campaign does not spend its first two months on groundwork.
Each sprint is one-time, completed within 30 days, and finishes with a 30-day roadmap. Begin monthly service within 30 days of the sprint completing and the onboarding fee on the matching package is waived.
| Sprint | One-time | Waives onboarding on |
|---|---|---|
| Regional Launch Sprint | $1,495 | Regional |
| National Launch Sprint | $2,295 | National or National+ |
Regional Launch Sprint
One-time: $1,495
Waives onboarding on: Regional
National Launch Sprint
One-time: $2,295
Waives onboarding on: National or National+
Monthly service must begin within 30 calendar days of sprint completion.
