What should I expect to pay for SEO?
Typical monthly SEO costs range from $500-$7500 per month, depending your business, its current state online, what needs to be done, and if any other supporting digital marketing services are built in. We most often see $750-$3500 per month, and this can vary based on working with an indivdual, small agency, or large agency.

If you’re investing in SEO, it’s likely that you should invest into supporting services like Google Ads, AI SEO (GEO/AEO), Social Media Marketing, etc.
The unfortunate truth is that most searches now have ads at the top, so it’s hard to rely on SEO on its own to drive results. Now that we have AI in the mix, that is another layer to be considered as well.
We believe in evaluating a website’s presence online, exploring what search results and AI responses look like to prospective customer questions, where the target audience is seeking answers, and from there developing a comprehensive plan that will generate a return on our clients investments.
Let’s say you’re a local HVAC company. It’s likely we’d recommend SEO and AI SEO (GEO/AEO), with Google Local Service Ads and other ad types. We’d also put some focus on local SEO to get you in the maps, and have Social Media efforts to regularly encourage activity and engagement. Potentially testing social media ads. This would ensure you’re present wherever users are starting their journey to find a company that will deliver a solution that meets their needs. This would probably range from $1000-$2500, but would be likely to generate far more than that in return via leads and closed sales. Efforts should be at a minimum 6-12 months, but really it’s an effort that will constantly evolve based on data to drive best results, and businesses should invest for the long haul.
