Comparison

Jarvia vs. hiring an agency

Agencies deliver real results, backed by a human team, at agency retainer pricing and timelines. Jarvia runs the same core work — health checks, content, behind-the-scenes fixes — automatically on a platform built and overseen by Christopher Nielsen, founder of Jarvia.

How Jarvia compares

Same fundamentals, different delivery model.

A good SEO agency assigns your account to a team who plan and execute manually — valuable, but priced and paced around human hours. Jarvia runs the mechanical work (health checks, fixes, content, tracking) automatically on a platform Christopher built and oversees, so plans start from S$149/month rather than a bespoke agency scope.

Common questions

Is Jarvia as good as a real SEO agency?

For the core, ongoing work most small businesses need — keeping the site technically healthy, publishing content, staying visible on Google Maps and in AI answers — yes, on a platform built and overseen by a specialist, who personally handles strategy and changes on Growth Partner. For bespoke PR or large campaigns, a specialist agency may still be the right call.

How does Jarvia's pricing compare to an agency retainer?

Plans start at S$149/month and include the website itself, not just SEO advice on top of a site you already built — see the exact current plans on our pricing page.

Can I switch from an agency to Jarvia without losing progress?

Yes — Jarvia connects to your existing Google measurement (Search Console) on setup, so your history of Google visits and positions carries over rather than starting from zero.
