For specialist and generalist recruiters

SEO for recruitment agencies, for both sides of the hire

Your site has two audiences, the firms that hire and the people who apply, and we work on the searches both make, for a fixed monthly fee you see in writing first. Only 2 of the 31 recruitment SEO providers we read publish a retainer price at all.

Who you would be dealing with

Your enquiry is read by SEO for recruitment agencies

SEO for recruitment agencies runs this site and does the work itself. What you send is read by the person who would do it, and is never passed to a panel of other firms or sold on.

What recruitment SEO services include each month

An agency filling contract IT roles needs different work from one placing care staff, so instead of off-the-shelf monthly SEO packages for recruiters, the price names which of these fit your desks.

  • Vacancies in Google's job search

    Live vacancies marked up so Google can show them in its job listings panel, and closed roles taken down cleanly rather than lingering as dead pages candidates land on.

  • Sector and location pages

    Pages for hiring managers looking for a recruiter in your specialism and region, such as engineering roles in the Midlands, written about how you really fill those positions.

  • Candidate pages

    Pages for the job titles and locations candidates search for, so the people you want to place find your agency before they find a job board.

  • Your job feed and ATS

    Most recruitment sites pull vacancies from an applicant tracking system or plugin. We check those pages load, get indexed and link together properly, since that is where most of your pages live.

  • Consultants and market notes

    Consultant profiles and short updates on the sectors you cover, giving a hiring manager a reason to call your team rather than the next name in the results.

  • Reporting by audience

    Client enquiries and candidate applications from search are reported separately each month, so you can see which side of the business the work is feeding.

What happens next

  1. Tell us your sectors, the regions you recruit in and whether clients or candidates matter more right now.
  2. We go through your site, your job pages and the searches you compete on, then send a fixed monthly price listing the work it covers.
  3. You make the call. Work begins, and so does billing, only once you agree.

The team that runs this site also does the work it quotes for. It carries no advertising, no sponsored placement and no affiliate links, and no provider in the table has paid to be there or can pay to be removed. Every figure is read from the named provider's own public page on the date shown and is what that provider advertises, not a quote for your job. Prices move; check the source before you rely on a row.

Every row of the table, with its source (14)

Every provider below was read on its own page through our fetch box, and the row says what that page published on the day we read it. 2 of 31 publish a figure; the rest are listed too, because how many will not quote a number is the most useful thing about this market. Nothing here is a quote for your job: it is what other people advertise.

How these figures were read, and how to cite them

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 2 of the 31 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 29 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 4 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 205 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: the SECTOR PREMIUM, measured rather than asserted: the median and spread of published recruitment-specific SEO prices set against the median of published general UK SEO retainers from the same reads, so the buyer can see what the word 'recruitment' adds to a quote; beside it the deliverable-per-pound where a provider publishes one (BCS quotes landing pages per month, Cloudswitched quotes target keywords per tier), the share of self-described specialists that publish any figure at all, and the same buyer's OTHER published software and job-board costs, which is the budget this fee is actually competing against

Frequently asked

How much does SEO cost for recruitment agencies in the UK?

Only 2 of the 31 recruitment SEO providers we read publish a retainer price. Their starting retainers are £1,495 and £3,000, a median of £2,247.50, and two figures are too few to give a middle half. The table lists all 31, including the ones that publish nothing.(Recruitment SEO Price Index)

Are you a recruitment SEO company or an SEO recruitment agency?

A recruitment SEO company: we do the SEO for recruitment businesses, the agency's own website, its job pages and its sector pages. We do not recruit SEO staff. If you searched for an SEO recruitment agency to hire an SEO specialist, this is not that service.

What does SEO for recruitment websites involve that other sites do not need?

Two audiences on one site, and a job feed. Hiring managers search for a recruiter in a specialism and a region; candidates search for job titles and locations. Most recruitment websites pull vacancies from an applicant tracking system, so the work includes checking those job pages load, get indexed, carry job posting markup and come down cleanly when a role closes.

Does SEO for recruiters cover AI search as well as Google?

It is the same work. AI answers quote pages that say plainly what an agency recruits for and where, so sector and location pages written that way serve both. We report client enquiries and candidate applications from search separately each month, wherever they come from.

Which details help you price our SEO?

Your website, the sectors and regions you recruit in, roughly how many live vacancies you carry, and the system your jobs are published from. A budget range helps if you have one in mind.

Is our enquiry passed to other agencies?

No. We are the team behind this page and we do the SEO ourselves. We do not broker enquiries, so yours is not sold, swapped or shared with anyone.

What is included, and how is the price set?

The price follows what your site needs: how many job and sector pages it carries, how much new content you want each month and how contested your specialism is in search. The figure we send lists each part, so nothing turns up later.

Do you work with agencies across the UK, London included?

Yes. All of the work happens online, so an agency in London, in any other UK town or city, or one that recruits nationally, is looked after in exactly the same way.
