Every First Page Digital SEO package includes Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO): the practice of ensuring your brand is recommended and cited by AI search tools, not just ranked on Google. This isn’t a future roadmap item or a premium add-on. It’s built into every campaign we run, right now.

Campaign Management FAQs

Every campaign is run by two people, not one: a primary Account Manager who is your day to day contact, and an Account Manager Lead with a minimum of four years’ experience who oversees the campaign and steps in whenever your Account Manager is on leave. You are never left without a point of contact.

Your Account Manager responds to questions within the work day. On average, our response times have being around 2 hours.

Given our duo account manager structure, with one being the account manager lead. Your Account Manager Lead would have been running the account alongside your Account Manager from day one and not brought in cold, so rest assure that performance continuity is expected.

If something needs to go beyond your day to day contact, escalation runs through your Account Manager Lead. Every client also has direct access to our Account Directors’ contact details, so your challenges can always be brought forth to our key leaders.

We cap the number of accounts each Account Manager carries, specifically so response times and scheduled campaign work are never compromised by overload. The actual number differs depending on the account manager’s experience and the size of accounts they are holding.

First Page Digital is one of the larger, longer-established SEO agencies in Singapore, and that comes with a real trade-off other agencies our size do not always name honestly: more people can mean more layers between you and the work. We prevent that with a structure built for it, not a promise. You get a named Account Manager and Account Manager Lead from the start, not a rotating point of contact. Account load caps exist so you are never a small account lost in a big shop. Escalation runs through a named Lead and direct Account Director access, not a support ticket queue.

What to expect from our SEO services?

Generally, we see clients taking 6-12 months to rank on Google. However, how much faster or how accurate this time frame is comes down to several variables concerning the current state of the website, its backlink profile, and the overall marketing goals of the client.

Nonetheless, we offer performance guarantees where possible that includes:

  • 50% keyword ranking guarantee at 12 month mark
  • 30% traffic uplift for targeted keywords
  • Revenue targets that are co-agreed

Additionally, 97% of our clients found our SEO services to be valuable enough to continue for at least 2 years.

At First Page Digital, we proudly perform all core SEO tasks in-house. This approach is fundamental to maintaining the high standards of quality and effectiveness we promise to our clients. By managing all key aspects of SEO internally, we ensure full control over the quality of the work we deliver. This level of involvement and oversight guarantees absolute transparency with our clients regarding all proposed works.

Yes, First Page Digital provides a dedicated Google penalty recovery service which is highly popular during Google Algorithm Updates. A Google ranking penalty is usually the result of a breach in Google’s guidelines.

Professional ranking recovery services study the website’s content and backlink profile to find areas where they are misaligned with the latest algorithm updates. A strategy is then crafted to revise or adjust these components, in order to comply with Google Search’s best practices.

Following which, we typically expect a gradual recovery over time, or a huge jump in rankings during the next Google Core Update.

A unique trait of First Page Digitalโ€™s SEO team is our experience and competency with a wide range of website CMS and frameworks (most other SEO agencies only work on 1-2 of the categories listed below). This includes:

  • Starter CMS: Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Hubspot
  • Popular mainstream CMS: WordPress, Shopify, Drupal
  • Niche CMS: Shopline, Shopcada, Prestashop, Weebly, Opencart, Joomla
  • Enterprise CMS: Adobe Experience Manager, Magento, Umbraco, Sitecore, Kentico
  • Headless CMS: Contentful, Strapi
  • Javscript frameworks: React, Node, Angular

The Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) helps Singapore companies improve their productivity through subsidising their vendor costs. SEO is a common solution offered by pre-approved PSG grant vendors, funding up to 50% of qualifying costs, capped at S$30,000 per company per financial year. It applies only to pre-approved packages listed on GoBusiness Gov Assist, not to open-ended SEO retainers.

First Page Digital is not a PSG pre-approved grant vendor. For multiple business reasons, we have opted out of this arrangement to avoid the commonly cited churn and burn effect from the grant. This is best seen where neither the agency nor the client is committed to partnering together, and thus do not operate in sync, leading to wasted resources, even though these are subsidised costs.

Based on frustrations shared by clients, some PSG vendors offer a half baked solution for SEO. Since there is a limited duration of 3-5 months, they do not operate with a strategy to retain the client in the long term. Instead, they offer a bare minimal product which in turn wastes the initial 3-5 months even if the client continues with them thereafter. For us, we are instead keen to work with committed partners for strong sustainable revenue growth.

Additionally, there is a requirement to pay the full cost upfront first. Only after the campaign will you get the 50% reimbursement from the government. For SMEs with tighter cashflows, the 50% requirement may not be viable. In contrast, we offer flexible payment schemes that ensure medium term mutual growth between both parties.

Its also worth noting that PSG campaigns have rigid offerings since their packages are set before the agency ever speaks to you. This rigidity provides a real challenge to true SEO works that requires a large amount of adaptability with the rolling out of each Google Search algorithm.

The Singapore SEO market broadly sits between $1,000 and $4,000 per month for agency retainers. Freelancers and offshore providers operate at $1,000 to $1,700, while most local SEO agencies charge between $1,800 and $3,000 a month. Meanwhile advance and enterprise SEO prices start from $3,000 a month in 2026.

First Page Digital offers a variety of SEO packages that start from $1,800. This includes keyword research, content SEO, technical SEO, linkbuilding, and local SEO.

We offer several different performance guarantees for SEO campaigns depending on a brand’s current SEO performance. The default performance guarantee is 50% page 1 ranking for campaign keywords. However, if a client is already on page 1, we can do guarantees of top 5 or even top 3 positions. Alternatively, we also offer traffic guarantees for websites looking to scale.

Does this mean that you will definitely have keywords on page 1? The answer is no, search results are largely influenced by Google’s algorithm updates and thus not 100% within control. Nonetheless, our success rate of 97% offers a strong likelihood of success for you.

FAQs About SEO in 2026

The March 2026 Google search update targeted websites whose link profile was made out of links from:

  • Private Blog Networks (PBNs)
  • Expired Domain redirects
  • Parasite SEO

Essentially, any website that was doing SEO on a budget with an SEO agency for the past decade likely made use of these tactics to efficiently deliver results. Unfortunately. this was always going to be a short term approach with risks.

We can and have helped clients switching to us to recover from this by rebuilding their link profile with targeted and safer linking pages.

The December 2025 Google search update targeted websites who had aggressively rolled out low value content that simply repackaged existing content on the internet. Commonly done with AI, webmasters had for the most part of 2024 and 2025 being able to scrape ranking content from the ranking pages on SERP and produced a long form article that combined their inputs. However, these had no originality, and often led to an inferior reading experience for readers.

We recommend websites hit with this to systematically use GSC to assess what articles of theirs have drastically dropped in performance. Then segment those that they can realistically rewrite with some form of original insight, and those that can’t. For those that the website sees as redundant, these content should be deleted, with no redirects applied after.

The August 2025 Google search update targeted websites with non-organic or suspicious anchor text profiles. We saw a wave of new clients coming onboard after getting hit with algorithm based link penalties as their previous linkbuilding vendors had built exact match anchor text for many of their links.

To recover, we recommended the use of branded anchor text while controlling content on the linking domains to give the right context as to why they are linking to the brand.

The average price for SEO services in Singapore is $2,000 per month. This varies according to the scope of services engaged in and the capability of the vendor.

  • Freelance SEO Services: $200 โ€“ $800
  • Basic SEO from Agencies With Offshore Teams: $300 โ€“ $1000
  • Basic SEO From Agencies With Local Workforce: $800 โ€“ $1500
  • Intermediate SEO Services: $1500 โ€“ $3000
  • Advance SEO Services: From $3000
  • Enterprise SEO Services: From $4000
  • Inhouse Local SEO Individual: $2500-$5000
  • Inhouse Local SEO Team: From $10000

Website migrations can come in several forms, such as domain migrations, cms migrations, hosting migrations, and content/design revamps. Knowing the nature of the migration allows our team to chart out a customised project plan and migration audit that would cover for the changes being made.

Websites that have proper SEO migration done by us see an initial 80% lower drop in traffic compared to those that migrate without assistance. Additionally, websites with SEO migration support saw their traffic restored to 100% within 3 months of their go live date for the new setup.

The short answer is no, SEO does not directly lead to strong outcomes on AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Co-pilot, and Claude.

We did a study in September 2025 that showed low correlation between SEO rankings and GEO search visibility. Having said that, many of the best practices here overlap between SEO and GEO, and when done in strategic fashion, the same assets can be used to boost both SEO and GEO.

General SEO FAQs

SEO (search engine optimisation) is the practice of improving a website so it appears higher in unpaid Google results for the terms your customers search. It covers four areas: technical health, on-page content, off-page authority from backlinks, and local signals. Unlike paid ads, the traffic does not stop when you stop spending, but results build over months rather than days.

Local SEO optimises your business for location-based searches and Google Maps results (the pack of three listings that appears above standard results for queries like “dentist near me”). It focuses on your Google Business Profile, location-consistent business details across directories, and review signals. In Singapore, local SEO services matter most for businesses with a physical premises or a defined service area: clinics, F&B, retail, and home services. Businesses selling nationwide online typically get more from standard organic SEO.

An SEO consultant audits your site, identifies why it is not ranking, and produces recommendations but typically hands implementation back to you. An SEO agency does both the strategy and the execution, including content production, technical fixes, and link acquisition. A consultant suits businesses with an in-house developer and content team who need direction. Most Singapore SMEs without that internal capacity find recommendations go unimplemented, which is the most common reason SEO engagements fail to produce results.

A full SEO engagement should cover keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO, content production, and link building at minimum. Depending on your business, it may also include local SEO, e-commerce SEO, or international SEO. Be cautious of providers offering only one pillar, a gap in any single area limits results from all the others. You should also expect monthly reporting tied to rankings, organic traffic, and conversions, not vanity metrics.

SEO earns unpaid rankings in organic search results. SEM (search engine marketing) generally refers to paid searchย  (Google Ads placements that appear above organic listings and charge per click). SEM delivers traffic immediately but stops the moment the budget does. SEO takes three to six months to compound but the traffic persists. Most Singapore businesses run both: paid search to capture demand while organic rankings build, then shift budget as organic share grows.

Most campaigns show early movement in impressions and long-tail rankings within four to eight weeks, with meaningful traffic and lead volume typically arriving between months three and six. Timelines depend on your domain’s existing authority, competition in your vertical, and whether technical issues need resolving first. New domains take longer than established sites. Any agency promising page 1 within weeks is either targeting terms nobody searches or using tactics that carry penalty risk.

Ask for case studies in your vertical, not just headline percentages. Check whether the agency implements changes directly or only sends recommendations, since unimplemented recommendations are the most common reason campaigns stall. Ask how many clients each account manager handles, what their link acquisition method is, and whether they will show you the actual sites linking to you. Finally, ask what happens if targets are missed, an agency confident in its process will put something behind it.

Yes, for the fundamentals. Writing useful content, fixing obvious technical errors, and keeping your Google Business Profile current are all achievable in-house and will move you forward. Where most businesses stall is competitive analysis, technical diagnosis on larger sites, and link acquisition, which requires ongoing outreach relationships. If you are in a low-competition niche, DIY is often enough. In a contested vertical where competitors have agency support, the gap tends to widen rather than close.

Rankings are not permanent. Competitors continue publishing and acquiring links, and Google’s algorithm updates reshuffle results several times a year. Sites that stop entirely typically hold position for a few months before drifting down. That said, the maintenance scope after reaching your targets is usually lighter than the scope required to get there, and many clients move to a reduced retainer focused on holding position and expanding into adjacent keywords.

It depends on your timeline and margins. Google Ads delivers traffic immediately but costs recur with every click, and in competitive Singapore verticals click costs can exceed $5. SEO takes three to six months to build but the traffic continues without per-click cost, and the content assets keep working. If you need leads this month, run ads. If you are building a business over years, SEO usually delivers a lower cost per acquisition over time. Most established brands run both.
