Compare, Enginekick vs. in-house

A whole team,
not one hire.

Hiring in-house feels like control, until you realize one person can't be a technical SEO, a content strategist, an AEO specialist and a GEO operator at once. And the search to find someone who's even good at one of those takes six months.

[ THE MATH ON ONE HIRE ]

$150K+ a year for a fraction of the skills.

A strong senior SEO costs $150K+ in salary, benefits and overhead. They take months to hire, ramp slowly, and bring one skill set to a job that now spans technical SEO, content production, answer engine optimization and generative engine optimization. When they leave, the knowledge leaves with them.

Enginekick gives you the entire system on day one, a decade of operator experience across all four disciplines, plus the AI-powered automation that lets a lean setup outproduce a whole department. No recruiting, no ramp, no single point of failure.
