The SEO hiring trap
Recruiting takes months
Finding a good SEO person — not just someone with a certification — takes 2-4 months of sourcing, screening, and interviewing. Then they might not work out.
Training eats your senior people's time
Onboarding an SEO hire means your best people spend weeks getting them up to speed on your clients, your processes, and your standards.
Full-time cost for part-time need
An in-house SEO specialist costs $60-90K/yr in salary alone — before benefits, tools, and management overhead. For 5-10 clients, it rarely pencils out.
Churn resets everything
When the SEO person leaves, all that institutional knowledge walks out too. Then you start over — recruiting, training, ramping — all while your clients wait.
The economics
Keep the margin. Skip the overhead.
You bill your clients. We do the work. The math is straightforward.

FAQ
Questions from agencies
Will my clients ever know Leaf is behind the work?+
No — never. Every deliverable (audit reports, monthly reports, meta briefs, schema files) is unbranded. We sign NDAs on request and operate as a silent back-office. Your clients see your logo and your name.
What's the minimum number of clients I need to start?+
The minimum is 2 accounts (domains). This keeps the engagement economics viable on both sides. You can start with 2 and scale up — pricing is per domain, so it grows linearly with your roster.
Can I just pay for audits without committing to a monthly plan?+
Yes. The standalone audit is $499 per domain (minimum 2 domains · $998 total). You get a full crawl, technical findings, and a prioritized quick wins doc — white-labeled and ready to send to your client. No ongoing plan required.
What's the difference between the quarterly and monthly plans?+
The deliverables are identical — same scope, same output. Quarterly is $999/client/mo billed every 3 months ($2,997/client/quarter) and is the recommended path for clients on retainer. Monthly is $1,299/client/mo with no commitment — better for testing the partnership before locking in a roster.
