Finding the right resource has never been more flexible

How much does it cost to outsource an SEO Specialist?

−
SEO Specialist engagements through Kuubiik start from $900 per month. Most SEO agencies charge $1,500 to $5,000 per month for equivalent coverage, with limited transparency on who is actually doing the work. A dedicated specialist at a fixed monthly rate is often more cost-effective. See kuubiik.com for rates by experience level.

What does a remote SEO Specialist actually work on?

+
Day-to-day, they focus on keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical SEO audits, content briefs, internal linking strategy, and tracking rankings and organic traffic in tools like Ahrefs, Semrush, or Google Search Console. Depending on your content setup, they may also collaborate with your writers or handle outreach for link building. Kuubiik manages all contracts, compliance, and payments.

How quickly will we see results from an outsourced SEO Specialist?

+
Onboarding happens within 15 to 30 calendar days. As for results - SEO takes time. Most clients start seeing meaningful ranking improvements within 3 to 6 months, depending on your domain authority, competitive landscape, and how consistently content and technical work is executed. Your specialist will set clear milestones so you always know what is in progress.

Who owns the SEO strategy and content they develop?

+
Everything belongs to your business. Strategy documents, content briefs, keyword maps, and any optimised content developed during the engagement are yours. Under Kuubiik's Master Service Agreement, IP is formally assigned to you upon full payment.

What if rankings are not improving after a few months?

+
Replacements are free and unlimited. One day's written notice in the first two months, two weeks after that. Before making that call, a strategy review is often useful - performance issues are sometimes related to site speed, content gaps, or algorithm changes rather than the specialist's execution.

What countries can I source a remote SEO Specialist from?

+
Remote SEO Specialists are sourced from Southeast Asia and Latin America (LATAM). Southeast Asia has strong creative talent across design, video, and social - particularly in the Philippines and Indonesia. LATAM (Colombia, Brazil, Argentina) is also a solid option if US timezone alignment matters. Mention any language or regional requirements in your brief and the matching will factor that in.

What does the monthly fee include when outsourcing an SEO Specialist?

+
The monthly fee covers everything on the engagement management side - your SEO Specialist's compensation, contract setup, compliance administration, and monthly payments. There are no recurring admin fees on top. The only upfront cost is a one-time deposit equivalent to one month's fee. SEO tools like Ahrefs, Semrush, or Screaming Frog are separate and remain under your control.

How is outsourcing an SEO Specialist different from using an SEO agency?

+
A dedicated SEO Specialist works full-time on your website with full transparency into strategy and execution. SEO agencies typically work across many clients at once, with your account often handled by a mix of senior strategists and junior executors. A dedicated specialist at a flat monthly rate gives you consistent focus, faster iteration, and a direct line into what is being done and why.
