Carry the accounts. Keep a quarter of the revenue.
This is SEO with the agency politics removed: you own the strategy and the client relationship on the accounts you carry, and you are paid 25% of the revenue those accounts produce for as long as they stay. No utilisation targets, no account-count quota — just work that compounds and compensation that compounds with it.

01The economics
How the money works.
Your share is 25% of client revenue on the accounts you carry, paid for the lifetime of the engagement. SEO retainers renew when the work compounds — which means your income is a function of retention, not of hours logged.
There is no salary and no ceiling. Carry three accounts well and your income beats most salaried SEO roles; carry eight and it isn’t close.
02What you get from us
You sell. The rest is handled.
- A delivery and reporting stack the client actually understands — rankings, traffic and conversions in commercial terms.
- A brand, audited case studies and a strategist surface that make the next account easier to win than the last.
- Freedom on tooling and method — you are measured on what the accounts produce, not on how you produce it.
03The fit
Who you are
- You have shipped real SEO work — technical, content, on-page, off-page — that has actually moved rankings and traffic.
- You can audit a site and a category, and explain the path to rankings in commercial terms, not vanity metrics.
- You are comfortable being measured by the rankings, traffic and revenue your accounts produce.
- You are operationally self-sufficient: tools, reporting, communication, retention — your accounts are yours.
What success looks like
- Your accounts produce measurable lifts in qualified organic traffic and revenue.
- Your retention is high — clients renew because the work compounds.
- You build a portfolio that pays you long after the initial work shipped.
- You attract new accounts via the reputation your existing work produces.
