Outsource SEO

An SEO agency,
or Edge SEO?

An agency advises and sends a list. Your developer still has to build it. Edge SEO does the work, live in minutes, and one marketer holds the controls. Below is exactly what you hand over and what you don't, and what it saves.

Side by side

What the agency does, and what the edge does

No marketing talk: this is how the work is split in practice. The third column is what is left for you or your marketer with Edge SEO.

TaskSEO agencyEdge SEO
Finding technical errorsCrawl with Screaming Frog or Semrush, report in a PDF, once a quarter.The edge sees every Googlebot visit and every error itself, within minutes. The SEO watchdog reports it and fixes what it can.
Fixing errorsTicket to your developer. On average 2 to 6 weeks, and hours on the invoice.Redirects, titles, canonicals, hreflang, schema: live on the edge without a release. Also in bulk via Excel.
Content and topicsKeyword research in a sheet, briefs, texts from a copywriter paid per piece.Topics from your own Search Console data, briefs and blogs from the AI assistant, in your tone. You approve.
ReportingMonthly report, often a week after the month ends.Live dashboard, weekly email and a monthly report with what the edge did and what it delivered.
Being found in AIRarely part of the package.You see which AI bots read your site, what you're missing and what it delivers. Ready-made rendering for ChatGPT and Gemini.
More languagesTranslation agency plus a developer for hreflang and the second site.Edge Translate: switch on a language, the edge translates on the fly, with its own URLs and hreflang.
Strategy and choicesThe agency's strategist, if they have time for you.You or your marketer, with the data at hand and a monthly call with our specialist.
Links and PRLink building, often bought. Sometimes real PR.The link planner shows where you can earn real links. The emailing and calling stay human work, because we don't buy links.
Your brand and toneA copywriter who knows your company from the outside.The AI writes in your style, but what makes your company unique comes from you.

Honestly, the last three rows can't be automated. So we don't say "you don't need anyone anymore", but "one person is enough".

Honest

What you keep doing yourself

Edge SEO turns your marketer from an executor into someone who makes choices. This stays on their plate.

Choosing what matters

The edge shows which pages are losing traffic, which keywords are opportunities and what competitors are doing. Which ones you pick up, and in what order, is a choice about your business. You make that choice, together with our specialist in the monthly call.

Approve

New copy, titles and translations are ready in your account. A person reads them and publishes them, or edits them. That takes a few hours a week, not a full-time job.

Relationships and links

Real links come from real people: suppliers, customers, trade media, a guest article. The link planner gives you the list and the text. You send the email. That is exactly the work Google rewards, because it can't be bought.

Who it's for

When Edge SEO replaces the agency, and when it doesn't

  • Yes: a shop or site with many pages where every fix now has to go through the developer, and where the agency mostly sends reports.
  • Yes: you have one marketer (or you yourself) who can free up a few hours a week to choose and approve.
  • Yes: you now pay more than € 1,950.00 per month for agency, developer hours and tools combined.
  • No: you have no one at all who wants to look at it. The edge will still work, but half of the value goes unused. Then Enterprise with a dedicated specialist is better, or an agency that also makes the choices.
  • No: a site of ten pages with little traffic. Then € 1,950.00 is too much. Start with hosting and the free SEO tools in your account.

How to start

  1. Edge SEO Scan. Thirty days of watching your crawl and logs, a prioritised plan and the first fixes on a test address. € 2,950.00, deductible from the first quarter.
  2. Switch your DNS. Your site goes through the edge. Nothing changes on your server. You can always switch back within minutes.
  3. Cancel or scale back your agency. Keep what you value (strategy, PR) and stop what the edge now does.

Frequently asked questions

What does an SEO agency cost in the Netherlands?

For small and medium-sized businesses it is usually € 1,000 to 5,000 per month. For large shops and multiple countries it is € 5,000 to 15,000. Developer hours are often added to build the recommendations, plus the tools the agency passes on to you. Enter your own amounts in the calculator above.

Can Edge SEO replace my SEO agency completely?

The execution work, yes: technical work, content setup, monitoring, reporting, multilingual support. Strategy, links and your brand remain human work. Your marketer does that with our specialist, or you keep an agency for it. Most customers go from a full-time agency to one person with a few hours per week.

Can Edge SEO also handle my SEA (Google Ads)?

Not campaign management, which is a different profession. But the things around it that an SEA agency often charges extra for: fake clicks removed, conversions sent from the server, fast landing pages and a funnel that shows where clickers drop off. This gets you more from the same budget.

I don't have a marketer. Will it still work?

The edge works then too, but someone needs to approve texts and make choices. You can do that yourself (expect a few hours per week), or you choose Enterprise, where a dedicated specialist does it with you.

How soon will I see results?

Technical fixes go live within minutes and Google sees them on its next visit. Rankings usually move within 4 to 12 weeks after that. In your account you see exactly which change did what, with A/B tests if you want to prove it.

What if I want to go back to an agency?

Edge SEO can be cancelled per quarter. You point the DNS back and your site runs directly again. Everything that was on the edge (redirects, titles) comes with you as an export, so your developer can put it in your CMS.
