How is SEO and digital marketing priced?
Most SEO and digital marketing is priced as a monthly plan, because results come from consistent work over time. Rankings, content authority, links and reviews build month after month, and paid campaigns need ongoing optimisation. Some work, such as audits, website builds and migrations, is better priced as a one-time project.
We do not publish fixed prices because two businesses on the same plan can need very different amounts of work. A local clinic in a small town and a law firm in a major city might both choose Growth, but the competition, content needs and link requirements are completely different.
Instead, we audit your website and market first, then recommend a plan with clear deliverables, timelines and costs. If a smaller scope can reach your goals, that is what we will suggest.
What affects the cost of your plan?
These are the main factors we consider when tailoring a proposal.
Competition
How strong the websites ranking for your keywords are, and how much authority they have built over time.
Scope
The number of pages, services, locations or products that need optimising and supporting.
Content needs
How much new content is required each month to cover topics and compete for attention.
Authority building
How many quality links, mentions and reviews are needed to close the gap with competitors.
Technical condition
Whether your website needs significant fixes, a migration or a rebuild before growth work can begin.
Paid media
Whether Google or Meta Ads management is included, and the complexity of those campaigns.
How getting a quote works
A simple, no-pressure process.

Which plan is right for your business?
Use these descriptions as a guide. Your audit will confirm the best fit.
Choose Starter if…
You are a local or small business with a modest website, you serve one area or a few services, and your biggest gaps are basic on-page SEO, your Google Business Profile, tracking and a handful of technical issues. Starter builds solid foundations quickly and often produces early wins in local search.
Choose Growth if…
Your foundations are in place and you want to grow organic traffic and leads steadily. You compete with established businesses, need regular content and quality links, and want to be visible in AI answers as well as Google. Growth is our most popular plan for ambitious small and medium businesses.
Choose Scale if…
You operate in a highly competitive market, across many locations or in several countries, or you want SEO and paid media managed together. Scale adds advanced technical work, expanded content and PR, and Google and Meta Ads under one strategy.
Common SEO pricing models explained
Agencies price their work in different ways. Understanding the models helps you compare quotes fairly.
| Model | How it works | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly plan | A fixed monthly fee for an agreed scope of ongoing work | SEO, content, links and ads that build over time | Vague scopes with no clear deliverables |
| One-time project | A fixed price for a defined project | Audits, websites, migrations, content sprints | Projects without post-launch support |
| Hourly consulting | Paying for expert time as needed | Advice, training and in-house team support | Unclear time estimates |
| Performance-based | Fees tied to rankings or results | Rarely ideal for SEO | Incentives to chase easy, low-value keywords or risky tactics |
Why very cheap SEO usually costs more
Unusually cheap SEO offers almost always cut corners somewhere. To deliver “100 backlinks” or “guaranteed page one” for a tiny monthly fee, providers typically rely on automated tools, low-quality directories, private blog networks or mass-produced content. These tactics may show brief movement, but they rarely produce leads and can trigger penalties that take months to recover from.
Real SEO requires skilled people: strategists, technical specialists, writers, editors and outreach professionals. When comparing quotes, ask exactly what will be delivered each month, who will do it and how results will be measured. The cheapest option often becomes the most expensive once you account for wasted time and the cost of cleaning up afterwards.
How do you calculate the return on an SEO plan?
Estimate return by comparing the value of new customers from search with the cost of the plan. Start with the average value of a customer to your business, including repeat purchases where relevant. Multiply that by your typical conversion rate from enquiry to sale to find the value of each lead. Then compare the number of extra leads that improved visibility could realistically produce with the monthly investment.
For example, if a new customer is worth a significant amount over their lifetime and one in four enquiries becomes a customer, even a handful of additional enquiries each month can cover the cost of a plan. Because SEO results compound, the return usually improves over time as the same pages keep generating leads without additional cost per click. We help you build this model during the audit so expectations are grounded in your real numbers.
How should you budget for paid ads alongside SEO?
Treat ad spend and management fees as separate budget lines. Ad spend is paid directly to Google or Meta and determines how many people see your ads. The management fee covers strategy, setup, creative direction, tracking and ongoing optimisation. A useful approach is to start with enough ad budget to gather meaningful data on your best services, measure cost per lead, then scale spend on campaigns that hit your targets. As organic rankings grow, you can often reduce paid spend on keywords where you already rank well and redirect it to new opportunities.
What should you compare between agency quotes?
Compare deliverables, people and reporting, not just the monthly price. Ask each agency what will be delivered in the first three months, how many hours or pieces of work that represents, who will actually do the work and how much experience they have. Check how links will be earned, whether content is written by people, how AI search is handled and what the reports will show.
Also compare contract terms, notice periods and ownership. You should keep your website, content and accounts if you leave. A slightly higher quote with clear, specific deliverables is usually far better value than a cheaper one with vague promises.
What contract terms should you expect?
Fair contracts protect both sides without trapping either. For ongoing SEO we usually recommend an initial term of around six months, because meaningful results take time to build and the first months focus on foundations. After that, plans typically continue month to month with a reasonable notice period. Projects such as websites and audits have their own fixed scope and payment schedule.
Whatever the terms, a few principles never change: you own your website, content and accounts, there are no hidden fees, and if you decide to leave we hand over everything cleanly, including documentation of what was done.
What if you have a small budget?
A small budget can still achieve a lot when it is focused. Rather than spreading effort thinly across many keywords and channels, we prioritise the few actions most likely to produce enquiries: fixing critical technical issues, optimising your most important service pages, strengthening your Google Business Profile and building reviews. As results come in, the plan can grow with your business. We will always be honest about what is realistic for your budget and market.
What happens in your first 90 days?
Every plan follows a structured start so results build as quickly as possible.
Week 1: onboarding
We collect access, set up or verify tracking, confirm goals and hold a kick-off call with your strategist.
Weeks 2–4: foundations
Critical technical fixes, profile optimisation and on-page improvements to your most important pages.
Month 2: momentum
Further page optimisation, first new content, outreach and, where included, paid campaigns refined.
Month 3: review
A full results review and an updated roadmap for the next 90 days based on what is working.
How we make sure every plan delivers value
We hold ourselves accountable to the same numbers you care about. Every plan starts with agreed goals and baseline measurements, so progress is easy to see. Monthly reports show exactly what was delivered and how it affected rankings, AI visibility, traffic and leads. If something is not working, we explain why and adjust the plan rather than continuing with work that does not pay back.
We also look for ways to make your budget go further, such as fixing a technical issue that unlocks dozens of pages, refreshing content that is close to ranking or reallocating ad spend to the best-performing campaigns. Value comes from smart prioritisation, not just volume of work.
Do you offer white-label plans for agencies?
Yes. We support marketing and web agencies with white-label SEO delivery. Agencies can offer SEO, technical audits, content and link building to their clients under their own brand while we handle the specialist work behind the scenes. Reports can be branded to your agency, and we work to your processes and communication style.
When is the best time to start an SEO plan?
The best time to start is before you urgently need the results. Because SEO builds over months, businesses that start early are ready when demand peaks, when ad costs rise or when a competitor slips. Starting before a website redesign, a new location launch or a seasonal peak is especially valuable, because foundations can be put in place first. If you are launching something new, combining a short-term paid campaign with a longer-term SEO plan gives you leads now and lower costs later.
What will your proposal include?
Every proposal is written in plain language with nothing hidden. It sets out your goals and the opportunities we found, the recommended plan and why, the specific deliverables for the first three months, who will work on your account, how results will be measured and reported, the monthly or project cost and the contract terms. If anything is unclear, we will walk you through it before you decide, and there is never any pressure to sign.
Do any of your plans guarantee rankings?
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who promises that. Search engines and AI platforms control their results, and they change constantly. What we guarantee instead is honesty, consistent white-hat work, clear deliverables and transparent reporting on progress towards the goals we agree together.
How do you know when to upgrade your plan?
Upgrade when your current plan is delivering and there is clear opportunity to grow faster. Signs include consistently hitting lead targets, expanding into new services or locations, competitors increasing their investment or wanting to add paid campaigns. We raise these opportunities in quarterly reviews, with data to support the recommendation, and never push upgrades that would not pay back.
