Automatic SEO: what it does and what it costs

Automatic SEO is software that handles the recurring search work for you: it reads your Search Console data, finds the pages getting fewer visitors, rewrites titles, descriptions and content, and measures afterwards whether the change helped. Work that used to mean a monthly agency invoice is now a service costing a few hundred kronor a month. Here is what such a service actually does, what it cannot do, and what it costs.

What automatic SEO actually does

1. Reads your search data every week. The service connects to Google Search Console, the source that shows exactly which searches bring you visitors and where every page ranks.
2. Flags pages getting fewer visitors. Most pages decline slowly rather than break loudly. The service compares month against month and points at the handful of pages that need work, long before you notice it in sales. We have written about how that decline works in the piece on content decay.
3. Writes the fix in your tone of voice. A new title, a new description, updated content. The good services learn how you write and stay in that voice.
4. Applies the change, with a receipt. Either you approve each change with one click, or the autopilot publishes it for you with an email receipt and a one click undo. Nothing should ever change silently.
5. Measures four weeks later. Did the page recover? A serious service shows the numbers honestly, and undoes the change if the numbers went down.

That last step separates automatic SEO from classic SEO tools. A rank tracker shows you numbers and the work remains yours. An automatic service does the work, and then shows you what the work achieved.

What it cannot do

• Build links and authority. Mentions from other sites still come from real relationships, digital PR or good content that earns them. No software builds that for you automatically.
• Replace a content strategy. Automatic SEO maintains and improves pages you already have. Deciding which entirely new pages your business needs is still a human decision.
• Fix the technical basics. Fast loading, mobile friendly, a working sitemap: that is a one time job when the site is built, not something to automate monthly.
• Local presence. Your Google Business Profile often matters more than the website for local searches, and it is managed separately, by you, for free.

What does automatic SEO cost?

Tedrix, our own service, costs 249 kronor a month for monitoring only, 849 kronor a month for drafts you approve with one click, and 1 295 kronor a month for full autopilot, VAT included, with a 7 day trial and no card needed. An ongoing agency arrangement usually costs several thousand kronor a month; we have collected real price ranges in what SEO actually costs.

Is automatic SEO right for you?

It fits you if your site has content that does the selling: guides, articles, product pages. That is where pages slip, and where rewriting pays. If your site is five static pages with almost no search traffic yet, start instead with the basics in SEO for small businesses, and automate once there is something to maintain.

Common questions about automatic SEO

• Does it replace an agency? For the recurring maintenance work, for many small businesses, yes. For link building, campaigns and strategy, no. Many run both: the software for upkeep, people for the big moves.
• Can it break my site? A serious service changes nothing without your approval by default, saves every change as a version you can restore, and sends a receipt with an undo button when the autopilot publishes.
• How fast do results show? Honestly: count on 2 to 4 months before changes show clearly in Search Console. Distrust anyone promising days.
• Does it work with my platform? Tedrix applies changes in WordPress, Webflow and Shopify. Other services vary, so check before you pay.
