SEO pricing that’s actually transparent.
Hiring an in-house SEO runs $6,000–$9,000 a month before you count benefits, management overhead, or ramp time. Our engagements start at $1,000 and run to $3,500 — and our benchmark in the first 90 days is a 30% lift in calls or organic website traffic.
We won’t put a specific number on your engagement before we understand your market. Book 15 minutes and we’ll tell you exactly what fits.
Most serious Bay Area service businesses invest $1,000–$3,500/month in local SEO. What separates that from the $299/month packages: named deliverables, specific timelines, and reporting you can actually read. The right number depends on your market, your competition, and what you’re trying to win — we’ll tell you which on the call.
Most clients who find us have been through at least one of two things: an SEO package that cost a few hundred a month and moved nothing, or a $3,000+ retainer from an agency that couldn’t name what was changing month to month.
We’ve heard that story a few hundred times. So have the clients who left us 5-star reviews.
Our work is scoped to your situation — no commission-breath, no upselling into a tier your market doesn’t require. Most clients start with Local SEO. Some layer in link building once rankings are moving. Every engagement runs well below what you’d spend to bring someone in-house.
Need web design or an AI receptionist too? Both are quoted by scope.
What the investment actually returns
The Hayward accountant case isn’t an outlier — it’s the pattern. They came to us ranked 20+. In 136 days they were #1 across their target market. They hired employees to keep up with the new demand. One retained client in their practice covered months of retainer.
Our benchmark in the first 90 days is a 30% lift in calls or organic website traffic. That’s what we’re building toward before we ever talk about what comes next.
Is it worth it?
Let’s put the number in context.
A plumbing call in SF runs $300-$1,500. A roofing job, $3,000-$8,000. At $1,000/mo, Local SEO pays for itself with one new job per month - and most clients see multiple.
A new accounting or legal client is worth $2K-$10K+ per year in recurring or repeat work. The Hayward accountant hit #1 in 136 days and hired staff to keep up.
Different verticals, same math. One booked job, one retained client, one recurring booking covers months of retainer. Once rankings move, it's rarely one client - it's a steady stream across the businesses we serve.
These aren’t promises - they’re precedents. Results vary by market, competition, and starting point. But the work and the process are the same. See more case studies →
