Consulting / For agencies
For web, development and marketing agencies. Bring me a client's search problem and get it planned, implemented and verified, with evidence and a handoff your team can show the client.
I'm Mike Khaytman, an SEO lead with 13+ years in search. Much of my recent work has been launches, redirects and indexing on large sites. Recent work is summarized on the consulting page.
How to buy
Agencies buy the same services as direct clients, one client site at a time. Pick the one that matches the problem; if you're not sure, describe it and I'll recommend one.
$750 or $1,500 once
A roadmap for the client site, or the roadmap plus a named first set of changes: up to five commercial pages and up to three straightforward technical issues, such as a canonical or indexing fault or broken redirects, verified live.
$750 or $1,250 /month
Two or four articles or page improvements a month for a client, published, linked and reviewed, with a short monthly performance review you can pass on.
From $1,500
A straightforward small-business site of about five pages, for a client you'd rather not build in-house. Larger sites, stores and integrations are quoted separately.
Every implementation includes: crawl diagnostics, deployed changes where your access permits, before-and-after evidence, a short handoff with rollback notes, and any remaining issues listed as separate work rather than left vague.
Bigger or unclear problems: full migrations, large redirect projects and problems that need diagnosis before they can be scoped get a separate quote. For ongoing senior SEO across several client sites, the Fractional SEO Lead engagement is the better fit.
How it runs
The site, the issue or backlog, and any launch date. Share only what your client agreement allows.
The service, the pages or changes involved, who talks to the client, how access is granted, and what counts as done.
Status codes, indexability, canonicals, links and rendered output, checked on the affected pages and an unaffected control. Staging checks aren't treated as proof of a live fix.
A change log, verification evidence, rollback instructions, and any remaining issues listed as separate work.
Details
You keep the client. I clear the SEO work. Agencies often win the build or the media budget, then find the SEO work has no senior owner.
The agreed work implemented, with evidence your team can show the client: what changed, how it was checked live, and how to roll it back.
Traffic recovery or rankings on a timetable. Search engines recrawl on their own schedule, and other changes to the site affect the result.
Terms are agreed in the proposal and don't depend on your client paying you.
We agree up front who communicates with the client and how the work is presented.
Only if you want me to. We agree before starting who communicates with the client and how the work is presented.
Yes, as separate projects, each scoped and priced from the same menu. Keeping each one defined is what makes the price dependable.
You work directly with me. If a trusted collaborator handles part of the implementation, the proposal says so, and I stay responsible for the result.
Only what the work needs, through your normal roles. If you'd rather deploy yourselves, I prepare the change and verify it once it's live.
Next step
Describe the client site and the SEO problem in a few lines. I'll reply with which service fits, or whether it needs a separate quote. Then we'll arrange a short call.
