What SEO consulting services include.
SEO consulting is project-based work delivered by senior strategists. Different from a managed agency program, where Peralytics owns delivery. Different from a consultant retainer, where one consultant works alongside your team monthly.
Consulting projects are time-boxed, deliverable-focused, and useful even if you never engage us again. Common projects include AI SEO audits, strategy development, team training, schema engineering, and pre-launch reviews.
When project consulting fits best.
Many US in-house SEO teams have the capacity to execute but want senior AI search input on specific decisions. Strategy direction, schema design, launch readiness, training. A focused project answers the question and equips the team to run.
Consulting projects also work as a low-commitment way to evaluate Peralytics before scaling to a managed program. Many of our long-term engagements started with a single project.

Common questions about SEO Consulting Services.
How is project consulting different from a managed program?
Consulting is project-based with fixed scope and deliverables. A managed program is ongoing delivery where Peralytics owns the work end to end.
How is project consulting different from a consultant retainer?
Project consulting is fixed-scope and time-boxed. A consultant retainer is ongoing monthly engagement with weekly working sessions.
Who delivers the project?
A senior Peralytics strategist with 10+ years in search and direct AI engine optimization experience.
What do we get at the end?
Written deliverables you keep. Strategy documents, audit reports, schema implementations, training materials. Reusable inside your team after the project ends.
Can we scale up to a managed program later?
Yes. Many engagements start with a project and grow into managed programs once the team sees the work.
What does an SEO consulting project cost?
Project pricing varies by scope. Audits start lower; strategy and training projects are mid-range; complex schema or pre-launch reviews are higher. See pricing.
