The verdict in three sentences
For a staffing agency in Dublin, local SEO aimed at employers is an under-used lever: HR managers in construction, logistics, pharma and hospitality search Google for temporary staff, and many agencies optimise only for job seekers. A plan of 100,000 to 350,000 FCFA per month (about 150 to 530 EUR) is enough depending on ambition, with first results in 3 to 6 months. Since a temporary placement earns a 15 to 25% markup on payroll, a single recurring client repays several months of SEO.
SEO plans suited to a staffing agency
Here are the three Kolonell monthly SEO plans and what they concretely cover for a temporary staffing agency.
| Kolonell plan | Monthly price | Content per month | Optimised sector pages | Suited to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essentiel | 100,000 FCFA (about 150 EUR) | 2 articles | Up to 5 | Local agency, 1 to 2 sectors |
| Growth | 200,000 FCFA (about 300 EUR) | 4 articles | Up to 12 | Multi-sector agency, Dublin and commuter belt |
| Premium | 350,000 FCFA (about 530 EUR) | 8 articles | Unlimited pages, link building | Agency targeting multinationals too |
All plans include technical optimisation, rank tracking and a monthly report. If the agency does not yet have a usable website, a Starter showcase site starts at 800,000 FCFA (about 1,220 EUR) on our grid, with 5 pages and a staff request form.
Keywords that bring clients, not just candidates
A staffing agency naturally attracts candidates. B2B SEO means targeting employer queries, which are fewer but far more profitable.
| Typical query | Intent | Estimated monthly volume | Page to create |
|---|---|---|---|
| staffing agency Dublin | Employer looking for a provider | 300 to 800 | Home and employers page |
| temporary construction workers Dublin | Contractor, site manager | 50 to 150 | Construction page |
| warehouse staff agency Ireland | Logistics, e-commerce | 50 to 200 | Logistics page |
| recruitment agency Dublin | Permanent hiring | 1,000 to 2,500 | Permanent recruitment page |
| pharma contract staff Ireland | Manufacturing site, GMP roles | 30 to 100 | Pharma and life sciences page |
| temporary drivers agency Dublin | Transport, distribution | 20 to 60 | Transport page |
These volumes are 2026 estimates: competition in Dublin is higher than in many markets, which is why sector pages and long-tail queries matter more than the generic head term.
Google Business Profile and the six-month plan
The Google Business Profile is the first result a manager sees when typing 'staffing agency Dublin'. It must show the exact address, opening hours, office photos, sectors covered, and collect reviews from client companies.
| Month | Main actions | Expected result |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | Audit, Google Business Profile, sector page structure | Complete profile, site correctly indexed |
| Month 2 | Construction, logistics, pharma, transport pages | First rankings on long-tail queries |
| Month 3 | Articles: cost of temporary staff, legal framework, mobilisation times | Top 10 on 3 to 5 queries |
| Month 4 | Client review collection, area pages (Cork, Galway, Limerick if relevant) | Regional visibility |
| Months 5 and 6 | Local link building, optimising the pages that convert | Regular inbound employer requests |

Sean runs a Dublin staffing agency placing 40 temporary workers. He subscribes to the Growth plan at 200,000 FCFA per month (about 300 EUR), so 1,200,000 FCFA (about 1,830 EUR) over six months. Assumption: in month five, a logistics firm contacts him through his site for 10 warehouse operatives paid an average of 2,800 EUR per month. With a 20% markup, his gross margin reaches 560 EUR per worker, 5,600 EUR per month. The first six months of SEO are covered within the first two weeks of the contract, and each additional client improves the return.
FAQ
What monthly SEO budget for a staffing agency in Dublin?
Kolonell plans are 100,000 FCFA (Essentiel, about 150 EUR), 200,000 FCFA (Growth, about 300 EUR) and 350,000 FCFA (Premium, about 530 EUR) per month. Growth suits most multi-sector agencies.
How long before we see results?
Count 3 to 6 months for the first inbound requests. Long-tail sector queries can rank from month two, while generic terms take longer in Dublin.
Can SEO replace business development?
No, it complements it: it generates qualified inbound leads while your consultants visit client sites. An inbound request often converts 2 to 3 times faster than a cold call.
Do we need a website before starting SEO?
Yes, at least a fast site with sector pages and a staff request form. On our grid, a Starter site starts at 800,000 FCFA, about 1,220 EUR.
Should we create pages for each town?
Only if you genuinely place staff in Cork, Galway or Limerick. One page per area, with concrete information, strengthens regional visibility.
