How We Approach SEO Pricing
Instead of publishing fixed prices, we build custom proposals after a strategy call where we understand your specific situation. That’s not because we’re hiding pricing, it’s because honest pricing requires understanding the actual scope of work.
What Determines Your SEO Investment
Factors That Affect Your SEO Investment
Industry Competition Level
A plumbing company in Garland faces less organic competition than a personal injury law firm in downtown Dallas. The more competitors investing in SEO for your target keywords, the more work required to outrank them.
Number of Target Cities
Ranking in one city costs less than ranking across five cities. Each city requires its own optimized city page, local citations, and geo-targeted content. A single-location business in Irving has a different cost profile than a multi-location contractor serving Dallas, Plano, Fort Worth, Frisco, and McKinney.
Current Website Condition
A well-built WordPress site with clean architecture needs less technical work than an outdated site with broken links, slow load times, and no mobile optimization. If your site needs a redesign before SEO can be effective, that’s an additional consideration.
Content Needs
Some businesses already have solid service pages that need optimization. Others need everything written from scratch, service pages, city pages, blog content, and supporting resources. More content creation means more work in the first 3-6 months.
Link Building Scope
Competitive keywords require stronger backlink profiles. Local link building (directory listings, local partnerships, community sponsorships) is less involved than digital PR and high-authority outreach. Your competition’s backlink profile determines how aggressive your link building strategy needs to be.
Google Ads Integration
Many clients combine SEO with Google Ads management for immediate lead flow while SEO compounds. PPC management is scoped separately from SEO, see our PPC approach for details.

Frequently Asked Cost Questions
Is cheap SEO worth it?
In most cases, no. Very low-cost SEO typically means automated software, no manual optimization, and cookie-cutter strategies. If your competitor is investing real money in SEO work and you’re paying for automated reports, you won’t close the gap.
Do I need a long-term contract?
We don’t require long-term contracts. SEO is most effective as an ongoing investment (6-12 months minimum to see compounding returns), but we earn your business month to month with transparent results.
How long before I see ROI?
Most businesses see early ranking movement in 60-90 days, with meaningful lead generation kicking in at 4-6 months. The timeline depends on your competition and starting position. See our full SEO FAQ for more details on timelines.
