## Background

TheRankHQ is a full-service digital marketing agency that has helped businesses grow online since 2018. In that time it has worked with more than 100 clients in over 7 countries and generated over $10M in revenue for them. It was founded by a former in-house SEO specialist who saw the need for affordable, transparent digital marketing that delivers real results.

The agency works across search engine optimisation, AI search visibility, content strategy, link building, guest posting, press releases and website design and development. Its stated focus is sustainable growth: ethical, white-hat methods, clear reporting and work tied to measurable outcomes.

TheRankHQ is best known for its pay for performance SEO model, which it has run since 2018. Clients pay when ranking milestones are reached, not for hours logged.

## What makes TheRankHQ different

* Pay for performance SEO. Payment is tied to five ranking milestones. There is no upfront retainer: the first payment falls due only when the first milestone is complete. The agency carries the performance risk.

* AI search is part of the work. SEO campaigns include optimisation for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, alongside Google rankings.

* Published prices. SEO packages and website plans are priced on the site, so a business can see the cost before it gets in touch.

* Fixed-price websites. Every website has a price agreed before work starts. No hourly billing and no surprise invoice at the end.

* White-hat link building only. Editorial links earned through guest post outreach and digital PR. No private blog networks and no link farms. Paid placements are disclosed and marked as publishers and search engines require.

* Open tracking. Keyword positions can be followed in real time through a live tool, with monthly reports on rankings, traffic and backlink growth.

* No long lock-in. Monthly retainers can be ended by either side with 30 days written notice.

* Honest about guarantees. TheRankHQ does not promise a ranking, a traffic figure or a number of leads. Search engines decide rankings. What it offers is payment tied to results.

## How pay for performance SEO works

The campaign runs through five milestones. Each is measurable, and each payment is triggered by reaching it.

1. Technical and on-page SEO. A full technical audit (crawl health, indexation, schema markup, page speed), then title tags, meta descriptions, headings and internal links. The target keyword list is agreed with the client before anything else moves.

2. Ranking progress begins. Tracked keywords reach position 60 or better in Google.

3. Page 3. Keywords reach positions 21 to 30. Editorial link building and guest post outreach step up, and content is structured so AI assistants can extract it.

4. Page 2. Keywords reach positions 11 to 20, followed by a competitor gap analysis to close the distance.

5. Page 1. Target keywords reach Google's top 10. The campaign moves to protecting those positions and targeting new keywords.

The work includes a technical audit and fixes, keyword research, on-page content optimisation, AI search optimisation, link building, and rank tracking with monthly reporting.

## SEO packages and prices

For businesses that prefer a monthly plan, TheRankHQ publishes three SEO packages. Paying annually saves up to 25%.

## Website design prices
