SEO Service Pricing: What a Serious Program Costs

Compare SEO proposals by their included work, approval requirements and excluded costs. Our monthly tiers define content units, technical hours, site coverage and reporting before kickoff.

Written and maintained by the SEO Studio technical team · last reviewed October 2026 · methodology and SOP documentation

Monthly scopes and an optional annual Scale agreement

Foundation is $1,500/month (2 content units, 4 technical hours, 1 site); Growth is $3,000 (4 units, 8 hours, 1 site); Scale is $5,000 (8 units and 12 hours shared across up to 3 related sites). Each covers one language and monthly reporting. A content unit is a standard article or a scoped page update.

  • Initial 3-month engagement, prepaid monthly; setup quoted separately
  • Optional Scale annual agreement: USD 58,000, with exactly the same monthly scope
  • Partner Foundation $1,200, Growth $2,500 and Scale $4,200 per project per month: same delivery allowances; requires 3 concurrent paid projects, a 6-month framework and monthly prepayment
  • The agency handles end-client communication, brand facts and final approval through one named contact

Comparing quotes properly

Compare who researches, checks facts, approves and publishes, and which sites and languages are covered. Ad spend, SEM management, social management, rebuilds, major code work and specialist multilingual review are separate. No plan guarantees ranking or indexing outcomes.

  • Ask for shipped output per month, not hours worked
  • Ask who writes and who edits — and what quality gate they pass
  • Ask how success is attributed: rankings, or revenue

Questions people ask about how much does seo cost

How much does SEO cost per month?
Foundation starts at USD 1,500, Growth at USD 3,000 and Scale at USD 5,000 per month. The initial engagement is three months with monthly prepayment. See the services page for agency procurement terms.
Do you charge extra for content production?
Each tier includes its stated content units: one standard new article or one scoped page update per unit, with research, human fact-checking and approval. Interviews, translation, complex-sector review and additional units need a separate quote.

Yes. Start with a separately scoped audit or a Foundation engagement, then agree additional capacity when needed. The USD 58,000 annual option applies only to the defined Scale scope.
