Is PilotaSEO legit?

Yes. PilotaSEO is a done-for-you SEO blog service run by GSPTeck, the indie studio of developer giosaia, and you can reach it at themaker@gspteck.com. It writes SEO blog posts for one site in English or Italian and publishes them through a signed webhook you authorize once. There are two yearly plans in EUR: Autopilot at €322 a year and Growth at €8,250 a year. It never guarantees rankings. If you cancel, every published post stays on your site, and a 14-day refund window applies at the start of a subscription.

This is our own page about our own service, so treat it as a first-party answer. Everything here matches the plans and FAQ on the PilotaSEO homepage, and the checks at the end work on any SEO vendor, including us.

Who is behind PilotaSEO?

PilotaSEO is a GSPTeck product. GSPTeck is a small studio that also publishes Android apps and runs its own blogs on the same publishing system, so the pipeline that writes your posts is the one we use on our own sites every day.

Question	Answer
Service	PilotaSEO, a done-for-you SEO blog
Operator	GSPTeck (giosaia)
Website	pilotaseo.com, in English and Italian
Contact	themaker@gspteck.com
Privacy policy	gspteck.com/policy
How to buy	Not online yet: send your site URL, plan and language, and we reply with availability

PilotaSEO used to be called Content Engine, and in Italian Motore SEO. Those names are retired. If someone sells "Content Engine" or "PilotaSEO" packages under another company name, it isn't us.

What you get on each plan

There are only two plans. Both are yearly, prepaid and billed in EUR, and each covers one site and one content language.

	Autopilot	Growth
Price	€322 a year (about €27 a month, billed yearly)	€8,250 a year (about €688 a month, billed yearly)
Posts written and published for you	Yes	Yes
Byline, dates, meta, internal links, diagrams	Yes	Yes
Automated live checks after every post	Yes	Yes
Monthly report of published URLs	Yes	Yes, plus verified live link URLs
Backlinks	None	4–8 editorial backlinks a month from outreach, guest posts and resource pages; no PBNs or link exchanges
Availability	Open	Offered when link-building capacity is available

Autopilot is the plan to judge most carefully, because it is fully automated. If you want a person to read every post before it goes live, it isn't the right plan, and we'd rather tell you that now. Our guide to what Google's guidance says about AI-written blog content explains why automation on its own isn't the problem and what is.

How posts get onto your site

PilotaSEO doesn't install a third-party plugin or ask for your admin password. You authorize a signed PilotaSEO publish receiver on your site once. After that, each post is sent with a signature your site can verify, published, and then checked to confirm it is live.

Tell us about your site. Send the URL, the plan you want and the language. We confirm whether the site is ready and the plan fits.
Authorize publishing once. No copy-pasting posts after that.
We publish and report. Posts go live on schedule with a byline, meta, internal links, diagrams and primary sources, and each one appears in the monthly report.

The rest of the setup, including what to put in your first brief, is in how to brief a done-for-you SEO blog, with a one-page template.

Four steps of how PilotaSEO connects to a site: you authorize a signed webhook, PilotaSEO writes posts, they publish on your blog, and you keep them — How it connects to your site.

What PilotaSEO doesn't promise

A legit SEO service is clear about its limits. These are ours.

No ranking guarantees. We publish consistently and check that every post is live. Nobody can honestly promise positions in Google, and we never do.
No overnight traffic. New posts on a small site take time to be crawled, indexed and trusted. Our realistic timeline for a done-for-you blog in Google sets expectations month by month.
No backlinks on Autopilot. Links come only with Growth, and only from editorial placements.
No machine translation. English sites get English posts and Italian sites get Italian posts, each written in that language.

Cancelling and refunds

If you cancel, your plan simply doesn't renew. Every published post stays on your site, because it is your content on your domain. A 14-day refund window applies at the start of the subscription. There is no lock-in through a plugin or a hosted blog, so leaving doesn't take anything away from your site.

Two columns of what Google says to look for when hiring an SEO provider: good signs and red flags such as guaranteed number one rankings — What Google says about hiring SEO.

What Google itself says about hiring an SEO

Google's Search Central guide "Do you need an SEO?" is a useful yardstick for any vendor. It says plainly that no one can guarantee a number one ranking on Google, and it suggests questions to ask before you hire, such as asking for examples of previous work, how results will be measured and how long changes will take to show. We think those are fair questions, so here are our answers.

Question to ask a vendor	PilotaSEO's answer
Can you show examples of your work?	Yes. This blog, and GSPTeck's own sites, are published by the same system
How do you measure results?	A monthly report of published URLs; Growth adds verified live link URLs. Traffic and rankings are read in your own Search Console
How long until changes show?	Usually months, not days, for a small site. We don't promise dates
Do you follow Google's spam policies?	Yes. No PBNs, link exchanges or paid link schemes

Six checks before you hire any done-for-you SEO blog

Use these on any vendor, including PilotaSEO.

Check	Good sign	Red flag
Who runs it	A named operator and a real email address	Only a contact form and no company name
Price	A fixed, published price	"Custom" pricing that appears only after a sales call
Promises	Consistent publishing and reporting	Guaranteed rankings or traffic numbers
Backlinks	Editorial outreach, named sources	PBNs, link exchanges or "1,000 links" bundles
Site access	One scoped publishing method	Full admin passwords by email
Leaving	Posts stay on your site	Posts disappear when you stop paying
