Pay-as-you-go SEO is a flexible approach to search engine optimisation in which you pay for services as you need them without being locked into long-term contracts. This model is particularly beneficial for businesses that want to manage their SEO budget more effectively and only pay for the services they require at any given time.
Thisworks offers pay-as-you-go SEO services, providing a range of options from keyword research to technical optimisation without the need for long-term contracts.
Our pay-as-you-go SEO is designed for websites with no current SEO or websites where the designers had little or no real knowledge of the basics of good SEO. It is aimed at businesses that know their site could do better with professional search engine optimisation but are not ready to commit to a monthly contract or don’t currently have a budget for ongoing SEO.
It’s ideal for smaller businesses, start-up websites, and those that are not yet generating significant revenues.
We create the best conditions on your website to make it Google friendly for the keywords and geographic areas you want to target. We will also fix any technical SEO errors we find and make good any omissions or errors. Think of One Time SEO like an MOT & service for your website.
Normally, we will complete the process within one week* of you providing us access to the website so we can carry out the necessary work.

Our Pay As You Go SEO starts at just £395+VAT.
Sometimes the smallest changes can make the biggest difference.
Thisworks were fantastic. I gave them a brief description of what we do, a few days later I have a really professional website. We are on page one on Google for the majority of the key word after just two days. I could not recommend enough.
After a very bad experience with another company Thisworks were a godsend, I got more help and advice in an hour than I had from the other company in 12 months.
Nothing to much trouble, very helpful. Listened to our requirements and suggested lots of ideas we have not even thought of.
Within a week of them taking the SEO on, we were number one on Google for Osteopaths in our local area.
Fantastic! I have a very positive experience with Thisworks. Everything promised has been delivered and more.
The web-sites have always ranked very highly, certainly within the top 4 or 5 on Google listings, and we have always received positive comments about the appearance and usability of the web-sites. Would highly recommend them to anyone.
Since working with THISWORKS our business has been transformed, because the number or quality enquiries from the website has increased tenfold.
Our Seo ranking went up very quickly and business has improved on a big scale. To put things simply Thisworks are the life blood of our business.
We are delighted with the new site and already, after only a couple of months, it is coming on page 1 of Google for some of our target keywords. Thisworks are the only internet company we have used who have actually delivered. Highly recommended.
Thisworks have been fantastic during the whole process of building our new website and setting up our SEO to help us climb up the rankings in Google (etc. ) and beat our competitors.
SEO is an abbreviation for the term ‘search engine optimisation’
This is the which is the practice of increasing the quantity and quality of traffic to your website through organic search engine results, also sometimes referred to as the organic or natural listings.
Do not confuse SEO with ‘pay per click’ advertising. PPC stands for pay-per-click, a model of internet marketing in which advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. Essentially, it’s a way of buying visits to your site, rather than attempting to “earn” those visits organically (the most used PPC platform by far is Google’s ‘Google Ads’)
SEO competition is fierce and technological developments in search mean it’s more important than ever for digital marketers to know how search works and what they can do to maximize the visibility of any given website.
SEO describes the process of achieving higher organic rankings for a website, usually by targeting specific key words or key phrases. SEO does not require any payment to Google or any other search engine.
Organic rankings are the listings of website pages that a search engine returns for a specific keyword or phrase and prioritizes those pages according to what it thinks the searcher will most want to be shown. That’s the fundamental objective of any search engine – to return the most relevant web pages and information. In order for it to do that, every search engine has its own algorithm (like a recipe, or formula) to rank websites. These algorithms are extremely complex and are continuously updated. They’re also a closely guarded secret – Google is ultra-secretive about its own algorithms, mainly to prevent smart webmasters from reverse engineering websites to manipulate the algorithm to their own benefit.
SEO firms can agree approximately what factors these algorithms give weight to through trial and error, experience, live testing and by pay attention to the guidelines the search engines do publish.
Simply put, Search Engine Optimization is very important because it makes your website get seen over and above your competitors. Good (and ethical) SEO gives your website its very best chance to be identified as being more important than. And therefore ranked/listed higher by search engines (such as Google, Yahoo!, and Bing) than your competitors’ websites.
Higher ranked websites obviously appear in searches first, and it is no surprise they also get the lion’s share of the clicks, visitors and subsequent enquiries.
Because bad SEO practices can permanently destroy your Google Rankings
What is considered bad SEO? (often referred to as ‘black hat’ SEO)
Bad SEO tactics that are unethical, outdated or are contravene the boundaries of Google webmaster guidelines are considered as bad. This type of SEO is often associated with ‘quick fix’ short term solutions that try to what is called ‘game’ or ‘spam’ the search engine by manipulating its algorithm.
SEO companies who employ these methods rarely retain their customers for long, because any short term gains are often followed by a hefty penalty imposed by Google when it realises the underhand tactics being employed. These ‘penalties’ can be extremely hard to get rescinded, if at all. The client ends up with a virtually invisible website, totally useless for the purpose of attracting new customers to their business.
There is an old adage… ‘marry in haste, repent at leisure’. Getting involved with SEO companies who practice bad SEO is the same.
So, how do you know who to avoid and who is a genuine SEO company?
A give away is usually found in the extravagant or seemingly over optimistic promises made. At Thisworks for example, we make a point of explaining to all new SEO clients that we can NEVER guarantee any page 1 ranking for ANY keyword. Any SEO company who say they can are almost certainly either outright lying, or at best severely over estimating their capabilities. Good SEO is a process, following correct guidelines, and meticulous attention to detail.
Do your homework and due diligence, just like you would if you were purchasing anything remotely valuable. Ask the SEO company to show you examples of their SEO work, and ask if you might be able to speak directly to some of their SEO clients to obtain a verbal reference.
Thisworks have been in business since 2002, and we have a proven track record in ethical SEO. Many of our clients have been employing us for several years to undertake their SEO work. If you employ us, you can be sure you will be attaining experience, know-how and integrity.
