SEO management without the mystery
You should not need a translator to understand what your SEO person did this month.
SEO has a reputation problem, and it earned it. Vague reports. Jargon nobody explains. Promises about page one that never quite arrive, from people you never quite reach.
Creative Baguette does the monthly work that helps the right people find your website, and explains it in plain English.
What we did. Why it matters. What is next.

What monthly SEO management includes
Technical
health
The things Google cares about
We keep an eye on indexing, speed, mobile behaviour, broken links and the technical issues that quietly cost visibility.
Content
improvements
Match what people search
Titles, descriptions, headings and page copy are refined over time so important pages match what your clients actually search for.
Google Business
Profile
Optimised and monitored
Your profile is what most local clients see first. We optimise it, monitor it and keep it accurate and active, so it works with the website rather than against it.
A report you will
actually read
Plain English, monthly
One short monthly summary. What we did, what changed and what we recommend next. No 40-page PDF. No dashboard homework.
What we will never promise.
Nobody can guarantee rankings. Not us, not anyone. Google does not take bookings.
What we can promise is honest monthly work, clear reporting and recommendations we would make if it were our own business.
If we think SEO is not the best use of your budget, we will say so.
SEO management from $400/month.
- The exact scope depends on the website, the market and how competitive your area is.
- Google Business Profile setup ($150) is waived with an SEO retainer.
- You will know the price and the monthly inclusions before anything starts.
Not sure what needs work? Start with a website audit ($450 to $650). It shows exactly where the opportunities are, and the audit fee is credited if we complete the work.
Talk through your SEOSEO management FAQs
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No, and we recommend being careful with anyone who does.
We do the monthly work that improves visibility over time and report honestly on progress.
How long until results?
SEO is cumulative. Meaningful movement usually takes months, not weeks, depending on your market and starting point.
We will tell you honestly what pace to expect for your situation.
What about AI search, like ChatGPT or Google’s AI overviews?
The same work that helps Google helps AI tools: a technically healthy site, clear pages that say what you do and where, and accurate business details.
There is no separate “AI SEO” trick worth paying for. If that changes, we will tell you in your monthly summary.
Do I need a care plan too?
They work best together, because the same person looks after the website and its visibility.
We will recommend the combination that makes sense, not the biggest one.
Can you do SEO on a website you did not build?
Usually, yes.
We start with an audit so we understand the site’s condition before recommending monthly work.
