Hand us the SEO production. Your agency keeps the client, signs off the plan and puts its name on the report.

How does SEO support from the Philippines work?

LOKAL delivers SEO support from Sydney and Manila under your agency brand.

Your agency gets a senior strategist who owns the search plan and a team to deliver technical reviews, content briefs, on-page work and reporting. The agency owns the client relationship, while the strategist keeps the SEO work tied to the account's wider marketing plan.

The work

Work you can inspect before you put your name on it.

For agencies that want SEO production in the Philippines without handing over the client.

A Sydney-Manila team runs the technical backlog, briefs and on-page work while your account lead keeps the relationship.

  1. 01

    Technical backlog

    Crawl, indexation, templates, internal links, schema and page-level issues translated into prioritised actions with an owner and acceptance check.

  2. 02

    Content production briefs

    Query intent, page role, evidence, internal links and answer passages specified before a writer opens a document.

  3. 03

    On-page implementation

    Titles, descriptions, headings, copy, links and structured data changed against the approved brief, not optimised in isolation.

  4. 04

    Quality assurance

    A second review checks the brief, rendered page, links, mobile layout and anything the client will see.

  5. 05

    Client-ready reporting

    Work completed, movement, blockers and next decisions in the agency’s format, with no unexplained export dropped into the deck.

  6. 06

    Workload planning

    Agree the priorities and review requirements before new work is added. When an account changes course, the strategist shows how that affects the sequence and what the agency needs to approve.

How it starts

The first 30 days

Four steps in the first month, then a monthly rhythm.

  1. Open the Philippine production channel

    Introduce the Manila specialists to your account lead. Confirm crawl access, the first property or domain, and who signs off technical changes from your side.

  2. Prioritise the technical backlog

    Crawl, indexation, templates and schema issues become a ranked list with an owner and an acceptance check. Your agency sees the sequence before anyone edits a live page.

  3. Briefs and on‑page work

    Content briefs and page-level changes follow the ranked list. Reporting stays in your format so the client conversation remains yours.

  4. Monthly review

    Each month the team shows what shipped from Manila, what is blocked on access, and how a new request would change the current sequence.

Before we start

One partner retainer, with written boundaries

  • One retainer per partner, from USD 2,000 a month, covers Philippine SEO production. The first term is six months, then monthly, with a day-60 fit check; extra domains are scoped in writing.
  • Manila specialists do not join client calls. Your agency owns the relationship and presents the search work.
  • You can keep other SEO contractors. The written arrangement names the crawl access, the backlog owner and the reporting format.

Before the first account

Questions agency owners ask before the first account

Is the retainer priced per partner or per client?

Manila SEO work sits inside one partner retainer, from USD 2,000 a month. Additional domains are scoped in writing rather than billed as a surprise per-site fee.

Will LOKAL speak to our clients?

No. We never face your clients. Your agency owns the relationship and communication. We prepare the recommendations, evidence and work for your team to review and present.

Who owns the plan?

Your agency sets the strategy for each client. Our senior strategist owns the plan for the work we run inside it, using the commercial context you supply, and your team approves that plan before specialists start.

Do we have to work exclusively with LOKAL?

No. There is no exclusivity requirement. You choose the people and partners your agency needs, and your resale price is yours. The written arrangement defines the work and account-protection rules.

Can the team use our project system?

Yes. The team works in your project system and channel once access is agreed at the start, so briefs, decisions and approved work stay visible to your account team.

What do Australian agencies need to confirm?

Your AEST working-hours overlap and how GST applies to the retainer. Both go into the written proposal alongside the account scope, approvals and protection rules.

A useful first call

What would you hand over first?

You’ll speak with someone responsible for the work. Thirty minutes, no finished scope needed.
