Page 1 of Google in 90 Days or We Work For Free Until We Get There
You have heard the promise before. This time the risk is on us, in writing. If your primary target keywords in Singapore have not moved onto page 1 of Google within 90 days of engagement start, we continue optimising at no additional cost until they do. This is the same guarantee we have put in every contract since 2019, across 146 clients in 43 industries. We have never had to invoke it.
Book Free Growth AuditWhy Most “Guaranteed SEO” in Singapore is a Con
Guarantee tied to zero-volume keywords
The agency promises page 1 for 'your company name plus a 12-word phrase'. Nobody searches that. The guarantee is technically met and the traffic stays at zero. The retainer keeps running.
Short-term rankings, long-term penalties
The agency uses PBN links, spun content, and grey-hat tactics to hit page 1 inside 60 days. It works until Google's next update drops your site off the index entirely. Your 12 month lock-in continues.
'Guarantee' is a money-back clause, not continued work
You pay $3,000 a month for 12 months. At month 12 they refund you $1,000 and call it a guarantee. Meanwhile your site still is not ranking, you are a year behind, and they have banked $35,000.
Undefined scope of what 'Page 1' means
Page 1 where? On mobile? Desktop? Which city? Which keyword? Most 'guaranteed SEO' contracts leave this deliberately vague so almost any outcome can be spun as success.
Why we carry the risk when almost every other SEO agency in Singapore refuses to.
From the desk of Jim Ng, Founder of Best Marketing Agency Pte Ltd.
I have sat across from hundreds of Singapore founders who have been burned by SEO agencies. The story has the same three acts every time. Sold a big promise. Signed a 12-month contract. Never saw page 1, never saw the money back. By the time they find Best SEO Singapore they are cynical, and they should be.
The reason most agencies refuse to offer a real performance guarantee is that their business model cannot survive one. They are billing 20 clients on a template playbook, a junior is doing the work, and whether a specific client hits page 1 or not is statistically noise to their P&L. If they had to work for free on the ones that did not hit, the agency would bleed out inside a quarter.
We run a different model. Senior strategist on every account, a disciplined 14-section audit before we quote, and a deliberately selective client intake. We turn away roughly one in four engagements that come through the door because we do not see a path to hit the guarantee, and we say that in writing to the prospect. The ones we take on, we stand behind with financial exposure. In six years running full-service SEO for Singapore businesses, we have never had to invoke the guarantee. Not because we are lucky, because we qualify rigorously.
If you have been burned before and you want a real written guarantee before you spend a dollar, book the free audit. We will walk you through historical ranking data from our existing Singapore clients, show you what your path to page 1 actually looks like, and put the guarantee in the proposal if the keywords qualify. If they do not, we will tell you honestly, and you can take the audit to your own team or another agency. No hard feelings.

The 5 Things That Make Our Guarantee Actually Mean Something
Every clause is in writing in the engagement letter, not buried in a proposal footer.
1. Specific Keywords Named
The exact target keywords are listed in the contract. You always know which queries the guarantee applies to. No vague 'your industry terms' language.
2. Search Volume Validated
Every guaranteed keyword has demonstrable Singapore search volume (typically 100+ monthly searches per query) verified in Ahrefs and Google Keyword Planner upfront.
3. 90-Day Target, 6-Month Review
Page 1 target at day 90. Full revenue attribution review at month 6. Quarterly adjustments built in so we are not locked to a stale keyword list 9 months later.
4. Continued Work, Not Refunds
If we miss, we keep working at no additional cost until we hit the target. A refund would leave your site where you started. We deliver the outcome, not a cash-back.
5. Month-to-Month After Initial 6
6-month initial commitment because SEO is not an overnight exercise. After that, you are free to leave any month with no penalties, auto-renewals, or cancellation fees.
Singapore Businesses Whose Guarantee We Actually Hit
Every engagement below opened with a written page 1 target. Every one cleared it inside 90 days.
E-commerce, flower delivery
Windflower Florist
Guaranteed page 1 for 'flower delivery singapore' (12,100 monthly searches) inside 90 days, held it for 3 years compounding
Hyper-competitive category. We guaranteed page 1 for the head term within 90 days. Delivered by day 64. Sustained as revenue scaled from $1.4M to $2.5M annually over the engagement.
Children's swimming academy
JustSwim Singapore
Guaranteed page 1 for 47 parent-intent keywords across 4 Singapore branches, tripled organic leads
We committed to page 1 for 47 striking distance keywords spread across Punggol, Katong, Bukit Timah and Jurong. Every one hit inside the 90-day target. Organic lead volume tripled off the back of it.
Heritage Japanese bakery, 5 outlets
Oishi Pan Bakery
Guaranteed local pack visibility for every outlet within 90 days, walk-in traffic now tracked weekly in POS
Multi-outlet local SEO guarantee. Every Google Business Profile visible in the pack for 'japanese bakery near me' plus the relevant neighbourhood modifiers by day 78. Foot traffic attribution is now a standing P&L line item.
Industrial B2B, crane services
Pollisum
Guaranteed #1 for lorry crane singapore and mobile crane singapore, two of the most competitive B2B queries in the country
B2B industrial is historically treated as impossible to rank in. We took the guarantee anyway because our audit showed buyer-language gaps no competitor had closed. Both money keywords landed at #1 inside the quarter.

Guaranteed SEO, Answered Directly
QWhat exactly does your SEO guarantee cover?
If your primary target keywords have not moved onto page 1 of Google in Singapore by day 90, we continue optimising at no additional cost until they do. The specific keywords, expected timelines, and commercial priorities are agreed in writing at the start of every engagement. You always know which queries the guarantee applies to.
QWhy can you offer a guarantee when other agencies in Singapore cannot?
Because we have done it 146 times before. Our system has ranked more than 2,000 keywords on page 1 of Google for Singapore businesses across 43 industries, generating over $33M in tracked client revenue since 2019. The guarantee is not marketing language, it is a KPI we carry financial exposure on. We only sign contracts where we are confident we can hit the target.
QHow is this different from agencies promising 'page 1 in 30 days'?
Those are almost always lies dressed up as offers. Legitimate SEO for a competitive Singapore category takes 60 to 90 days to show ranking movement, 3 to 6 months to compound into revenue. Anyone promising 30 days is either ranking you on zero-volume keywords (useless) or breaking Google's guidelines (unsustainable). Our 90-day target is honest, measurable, and supported by historical data across every engagement we have run.
QWhat happens if you do not hit the page 1 target in 90 days?
We keep working at no additional cost until we do. Not a refund, not a discount, continued execution. The reason is simple: if we have not ranked you, we have not delivered. Pausing the engagement at 90 days without results would leave you worse off. Six years in and we have never had to invoke this clause, which is exactly why we are comfortable writing it into every contract.
QAre there preconditions for the guarantee to apply?
Yes, four reasonable ones. Your site must be indexable (no noindex, no robots.txt blocks, no penalty). Your Google Analytics and Search Console must be wired up so we can measure. You must provide working developer access or let us publish directly to a dev or staging environment. And the keywords we are ranking for must have demonstrable search volume in Singapore, which we verify before quoting. Everything else is on us.
QWhich keywords qualify for the guarantee?
Commercial-intent keywords with real Singapore search volume (typically 100+ monthly searches per query) and realistic competitive gaps. We do not accept keywords with zero buyer intent (zero-volume 'easy wins'), extremely high-volume brand terms owned by global competitors, or regulated categories where paid-first-party-compliant ranking is not possible. The list is agreed in writing before engagement start.
QCan the guarantee apply to the Google Map pack too?
Yes. For local SEO engagements we guarantee visibility in the local pack for your primary category keyword in at least one of your target neighbourhoods within 90 days. This is bundled into the standard guarantee for any multi-outlet or service-area operator in Singapore, see the full approach on our local SEO service page.
QHow much does a guaranteed SEO engagement cost in Singapore?
Retainers start from $2,300 per month for single-location Singapore businesses and scale with keyword scope, content volume, and competitive difficulty. The guarantee is always included at no premium, it is not a premium-tier feature. We would rather decline to quote than run an engagement we cannot stand behind, so the audit is always free and the quote is always honest.
QWill the guarantee work for new websites with no existing rankings?
Yes, with an adjusted timeline. Brand new domains do not compound ranking signals as fast as established ones. For fresh sites we guarantee initial page 1 positions within 4 to 6 months depending on category competition, backed by the same 'we work free until we get there' structure. The audit tells us upfront whether your site is a quick-compound or a slow-compound candidate.
QWhat if I want out of the contract earlier?
We require a 6-month initial commitment because SEO is not an overnight exercise and we cannot responsibly promise results on a month-one cancellation clause. After the initial six months, every engagement moves to month-to-month with no cancellation fees, no auto-renewals, and no hostage negotiations. The reason our retention is over 85% is that clients stay voluntarily, not because the paperwork traps them.
