Tell us about your website launch

Share your website and whether you are launching, redesigning or improving its initial setup. We will discuss the work needed.

Include the country code, for example +1 555 123 4567.

A defined foundation for your website

Know what should be ready at launch.

Your platform, page structure and launch stage determine the setup work. We agree a specific checklist and the people responsible for completing it.

Keyword and page map

Identify the initial products, services or categories to target. Match the agreed searches to useful pages and flag gaps before the structure becomes harder to change.

Technical launch checks

Define checks for crawling, indexing directives, sitemap, canonical URLs and internal links. If you are replacing a site, discuss old URLs and redirect requirements within the launch scope.

Page essentials

Review the agreed pages or templates for titles, headings, descriptions and content priorities. Specify which changes can be made through your CMS and which need your developer or content team.

Measurement readiness

Discuss Search Console ownership, available analytics and the enquiries your team needs to measure. Agree the access, configuration and checks required to establish a usable starting baseline.

A handoff your team can use

Separate completed changes from the work still needed.

The setup scope should name the deliverables and implementation owner. A recommendation in a document is different from a setting checked on the live website.

  • Agreed coverage: pages, templates, settings and checks included in the one-time work.
  • Completion record: changes made and the evidence or checks used to verify them.
  • Remaining actions: recommendations, dependencies and the person responsible for each next step.
  • Launch handoff: the agreed review point and any checks that require the public site to be available.

Discuss CMS access, development work, content production, timing and cost before starting. Ongoing content, links and monitoring require a separate agreement; the setup enquiry does not start a recurring campaign.

Already have an established site with unresolved problems? An SEO audit may be the more useful starting point.

From launch plans to a checked handoff

Give the initial work a clear finish.

  1. Share the website and launch stage

    Tell us the domain, platform, planned launch or redesign, and priority services or products. Describe any existing site that will be replaced.

  2. Agree a one-time checklist

    Define the pages, checks, changes, access and deliverables. Confirm implementation owners, dependencies, timing and price.

  3. Check and hand over

    Review the agreed work and document what is complete or still pending. Establish the next check without assuming an ongoing subscription.

Scope, access and completion

Before your SEO setup.

Who is SEO setup for?

It is a starting point for a new website, a redesign or a site whose initial SEO foundations need attention. The agreed scope depends on the platform, launch stage and pages involved. A complex migration or established traffic problem may need a separate audit or project.

How is setup different from an audit or a monthly campaign?

An audit investigates issues and produces agreed findings and recommendations. Setup defines initial checks and changes with a completion point. A monthly campaign covers ongoing work under its own plan. The responsibilities and deliverables for each are agreed before starting.

Will Semalt make changes to my website?

Implementation is part of the scope discussion. We agree which changes Semalt can make with authorized access and which your developer or content team will handle. The handoff distinguishes completed work from recommendations and pending actions.

Can we discuss a website that is not live yet?

Yes. Enter your planned domain and describe the launch stage in the optional message. You do not need to send staging passwords through the form. We discuss access separately and identify which checks must wait until the public website is available.

How much does SEO setup cost and how long does it take?

Both depend on the platform, page coverage, required changes and who implements them. We agree the checklist, deliverables, timing and price before work begins. Submitting an enquiry does not pay for setup or start a recurring campaign.

Does setup guarantee indexing or rankings at launch?

No. Setup addresses the agreed foundations and checks; search engines decide when to crawl, index and rank pages. Ongoing improvements may be needed after launch. The historical case studies describe broader campaigns rather than the isolated result of one-time setup.

Give your website launch a clear SEO plan.

Share your domain and launch stage. We will discuss the setup checklist, responsibilities and next steps.
