What you're paying for

How these plans differ in practice

Pricing pages tend to list features without explaining what they mean. Here's the practical difference.

The Audit is a diagnosis, not a subscription

A one-time technical and on-page review covering crawlability, indexing, site speed, heading structure, and content-to-intent match. You receive a prioritised list of fixes ranked by impact and effort, written in plain language rather than exported from a tool. Many people take that list and implement it themselves — that's a legitimate outcome, and there's no obligation to continue. If you'd rather run the process yourself first, the free audit walkthrough covers the same ground using free tools.

Growth is implementation, not just advice

The difference between knowing what to fix and having it fixed. On-page and technical changes get made directly, two pieces of SEO content are written per month, and you get a monthly call covering what changed and what the numbers did — reported honestly whether they moved up or down. Most sites see meaningful movement in three to six months; anyone promising faster is guessing.

Partner is for scaling content

Double the content output, plus ongoing keyword and competitor tracking so the content plan responds to what's actually working rather than what was planned three months ago. Suited to sites that already have the technical foundation in place and need volume.

What no plan includes

Purchased backlinks, private blog networks, or any tactic covered in Google's spam policies. Also no guaranteed rankings — no provider can honestly offer that, and the ones who do are usually relying on the tactics above. More on that distinction in white hat vs black hat SEO.

On pricing

Why these numbers are public

Most agencies won't publish a figure. That's usually because the quote is calculated after they've seen your budget.

What drives the cost of SEO

Four things, mostly: site size, competitiveness of your market, the technical condition you're starting from, and how much content is produced. SEO rates vary widely between providers largely because of overhead — an agency carries an office, a sales team, and account managers that an independent doesn't.

Fixed prices, not custom quotes

These are fixed price SEO packages with defined scope. That's honest when the deliverable is genuinely fixed — an audit is an audit. Where a site needs something outside these tiers, I'd rather say so than stretch a package to fit.

Why very cheap SEO usually isn't

Low SEO service pricing only works if very little time is spent, which forces automation — spun content, bulk directory links, template audits. Those are the tactics Google's spam policies target directly, and penalty recovery costs more than doing it properly would have. Full breakdown in how much SEO actually costs.

What's not included in any plan

Purchased backlinks, private blog networks, and guaranteed rankings — the last because nobody can honestly offer it. Tool subscriptions are covered; there's no separate line item for them.

Not ready for a plan?

There's a $9 tool instead

If you're not looking to hire anyone yet but want to stop SEO problems slipping past unnoticed, this does one job properly.

Site Change Monitor

Alerts you the moment a noindex appears, a canonical repoints, or a page starts redirecting or returning errors — the breakages nobody notices until traffic drops weeks later. Runs on your own machine, no subscription.
