This page answers “which workflow fits my business?” It is not the full platform catalog (see SEO automation software) and not a jargon glossary (see SEO tools for non-technical users). Plan numbers below match web-platform pricing limits.

Choose your situation

Open one scenario for problem, workflow, time, features, plan fit, and agency boundary.

Starting problem. A plumber, consultant, or clinic site sits on a few service pages. Titles and metas are thin, and nobody checks whether local phrases still appear in search.

Rabbit SEO workflow. Audit homepage + top services → approve title/meta/alt suggestions → track 5–15 lead keywords → re-check monthly.

Time commitment. About 30–45 minutes every week or two.

Relevant features. Audit, fixer, rank tracker.

Free or Pro. Free if you stay within 5 keywords / 3 optimized pages. Upgrade to Pro ($100/mo: 20 keywords, 15 optimized pages) when you need more tracked lead terms. Confirm on pricing.

When an agency may still be needed. Agency still helps for city-by-city landing pages, reputation management, or paid search coordination.

Starting problem. Product and collection pages share weak titles; image alt text is missing; you lack time to rewrite dozens of SKUs by hand.

Rabbit SEO workflow. Connect Wix or Shopify → audit catalog pages → approve supported storefront-embed fields → track primary product keywords → spot-check broken links.

Time commitment. About 45–60 minutes every week or two (batch a few products each session).

Relevant features. Fixer, Shopify/Wix apps, broken links, rank tracker.

Pro ($100/mo) for most single stores (15 optimized pages, 20 keywords). Free for a lightweight first catalog only. Business if you run multiple storefronts. Confirm on pricing.

When an agency may still be needed. Agency or freelancers still help for content merchandising, photography, and competitive PPC.

Starting problem. You wear every hat. Enterprise SEO suites feel huge; you need plain priorities and short sessions.

Rabbit SEO workflow. Free audit → fix top Action Required items → skip jargon → track a small keyword list → pull a simple monthly report.

Time commitment. About 30 minutes every other week.

Relevant features. Beginner walkthrough, audit, fixer, optional AI visibility check.

Free to learn the loop; Pro when 5 keywords / 3 optimized pages are too tight. Confirm on pricing.

When an agency may still be needed. Needed only if you want someone else to write content or manage outreach for you.

Starting problem. Three to five client sites need recurring audits and shared reporting, without an enterprise seat for each brand.

Rabbit SEO workflow. Add each site → run audits on a cadence → approve fixes with clients → track agreed keywords → export a short report.

Time commitment. About 30–60 minutes per site every week or two.

Relevant features. Audit, fixer, rank tracker, report builder screenshots for client updates.

Business ($400/mo) — 5 sites, 300 keywords, 50 optimized pages, 1000 link monitoring, 40 backlink credits. Enterprise when you outgrow 5 sites. Confirm on pricing.

When an agency may still be needed. You are the agency layer for execution; still partner up for specialized link campaigns or copywriting teams.

Starting problem. Leadership wants a short monthly punch list — not a 40-page crawl dump.

Rabbit SEO workflow. Monthly re-audit → pick 5–10 priorities → approve supported fixes → review keyword movement → archive a PDF-style report.

Time commitment. One focused hour per month, plus short mid-month check-ins if needed.

Relevant features. Audit, fixer, rank tracker, report view — link out from the automation hub.

Pro for one company site; Business if subsidiaries share a portfolio under one account. Confirm on pricing.

When an agency may still be needed. Bring specialists for content calendar ownership or competitive PR; keep Rabbit SEO for the recurring audit cadence.

Limits that decide Free vs Pro vs Business

Confirm on /pricing (web platform). Typical mapping:

  • Free — 1 site, 5 keywords, 3 optimized pages, 20 link monitoring, 0 backlink credits
  • Pro ($100/mo) — 1 site, 20 keywords, 15 optimized pages, 200 monitoring, 4 credits
  • Business ($400/mo) — 5 sites, 300 keywords, 50 optimized pages, 1000 monitoring, 40 credits
  • Enterprise ($1200/mo) — 50 sites, 1000 keywords, 300 optimized pages, 5000 monitoring, 120 credits

Honesty: headings are recommendation-only. Supported fields apply via Wix/Shopify storefront embed after approval. WordPress = public audit + review in-app. No ranking guarantees.

Scenarios & plans

Most single-site owners start Free (1 site, 5 keywords, 3 optimized pages, 20 link monitoring) or Pro at $100/mo (1 site, 20 keywords, 15 optimized pages, 200 monitoring, 4 backlink credits). Multi-site freelancers often need Business. Confirm on pricing.

About 30–60 minutes every week or two for most scenarios: review priorities, approve or skip, check a few keywords. It is not set-and-forget.

When you need content production, competitive outreach, multi-market campaigns, or nobody can review changes. Software handles owner-led audits and tracking; agencies still win on hands-on execution.

No. Headings are recommendations only. Supported on-page fields can apply on Wix/Shopify via storefront embed after you approve. WordPress: public audit + in-app review.
