The Work

A foundation built in ninety days, not ninety months.

The Authority Foundation Sprint is the entry tier of the Authority Ridge ladder. Unlike the three retainers that compound on existing SEO equity, the Sprint builds the equity itself. Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Defined exit. No drift into open-ended monthly engagements that take two years to deliver what should have been done in one quarter.

At the end of ninety days you have a technical foundation that will not need to be rebuilt for years, content scaffolded for compound growth, and analytics infrastructure that captures every signal worth capturing. The Sprint stands alone. It is also the cleanest entry point to any of the three retainer tiers if you decide to continue.

SEO foundation build — Authority Ridge
The Fit

Built for established operators starting from zero.

  • A new venture from an established operator or founder.
  • A post-acquisition rebuild inheriting a weak web presence.
  • An offline brand finally going digital.
  • A business recovering from a DIY SEO effort that tanked rankings.
  • A relaunch under new branding where the legacy site cannot be salvaged.

You must have existing commercial traction. The Sprint is not for pre-revenue startups, businesses still validating product-market fit, or operations that cannot absorb a RM30,000–50,000 one-off engagement without strain. If any of those describe your business, the Sprint will not deliver value yet.

The Scope

Common Questions

Frequently asked about the Authority Foundation Sprint.

What is the Authority Foundation Sprint?

The Authority Foundation Sprint is a fixed-scope, ninety-day build for businesses with no existing SEO foundation. We deliver technical SEO setup, ten to fifteen core pages of search-intent content, schema markup, Google Business Profile launch, and analytics infrastructure. At the end of ninety days, you own a site that is search-ready and built for compound growth from day ninety-one.

How much does the Sprint cost?

The Sprint is priced between RM30,000 and RM50,000 as a one-off, fixed-fee engagement. Final price within that band is set at scoping based on technical complexity, page count, and content volume. There are no hidden fees — the Sprint price is published in advance.

Who is the Sprint for?

The Sprint is for businesses with commercial traction but no existing SEO foundation — new ventures from established operators, post-acquisition rebuilds, offline brands going digital, or businesses recovering from a DIY SEO effort that tanked rankings. It is not for pre-revenue startups or businesses still validating product-market fit.

Does the Sprint convert to an ongoing retainer?

Yes, optionally. Clients who sign a Search Demand Capture Retainer, Local Authority Retainer, or AI Answer Authority Retainer within thirty days of Sprint completion receive a 10% discount on the first twelve months. The Sprint can also stand alone — there is no obligation to continue.

What is NOT included in the Sprint?

The Sprint does not include paid media, brand identity work, logo design, ongoing content production beyond the core ten to fifteen pages, link outreach campaigns, or monthly reporting. Those are retainer-scope activities. The Sprint is a foundation build, not an ongoing service.
