Productized retainers

Slatelock ships fixed-scope monthly output. The SEO Articles tier is the storefront.

Pick one deliverable, pay one price, get the artifact on a fixed cadence. The first tier is live today — the others are coming soon. No sales-call consulting, no surprise invoices.

See the tiers

Slatelock prices one tier end-to-end. The other two tiers ship later — the page below shows them on purpose, so you can see what comes next. Recurring billing is billed each month; cancel any time before the next renewal.

The tiers

Three fixed-scope monthly outputs.

The SEO Articles tier ships today. The Ads Rebuild tier and the Shopify Tune tier are visibly still in the queue — they will not be live until we have shipped at least one full quarter of the SEO Articles tier, so you can see what comes next.

Operational proof

On-time, every month — and visible on /status.

Every deliverable has a published due date, and the on-time record lives on its own page at /status. The methodology is published next to the number so you can audit it, and the same shape ships in the monthly report — the same one a /samples buyer receives every month.

On-time rate counts deliverables with status=done whose published_at is on or before the due date, measured against everything with a due date in the calendar month. Source: /admin/queue. Refreshed daily.

What ships

What you get with the SEO Articles tier

A flat-fee, monthly engagement. We ship four 1,200-word articles, on-publication, into your CMS — and the same monthly report every buyer gets. The artifact is the contract: no scope creep, no hourly meter, no sales-call upsell.

$890 billed monthly • cancel any time before renewal

1. A finished deliverable, every month

You will always receive exactly four SEO articles, published on your site, plus a one-page monthly report (rankings, clicks, calls). The fee is the fee — there is no hourly meter, and the scope does not change month to month.

2. Editorial calendar + brief, ahead of writing

By Week 2, we have a topic cluster and an editorial brief for each article. You see the working titles, target keywords, and the working angles before a single word of draft is written. If the cluster is wrong, we change it before writing, not after.

3. Internal-linking pass on every article

Each new article is interlinked with your existing content, with the existing pillar pages, and with the prior month’s articles. The articles compound into a cluster, not a stream of orphans. You sit on whichever CMS you already use — WordPress, Webflow, Ghost, you name it.

4. Monthly report, the same one every buyer gets

A one-page report: where the cluster ranks this month vs last, calls the cluster drove, clicks on the new pieces. One chart, one number, one paragraph. The report is identical every month so the trend lines are real and the comparison is honest.

A finished report, every month

The same artifact hits your inbox on the same day every month.

There is no discovery call, no strategy doc, no "let us check in later." Slatelock ships a fixed deliverable on a fixed cadence — and a one-page report that says what the numbers are, not what the agency hopes they will become.
