Pricing questions

Why are your prices lower than most agencies?

You work directly with me instead of paying for account managers, sales teams and office overhead. Of the 50 SEO providers I checked that publish prices, the median starting price for a monthly plan was $1,000. My plans start at $299.

Is there a contract or setup fee?

No setup fees, and all monthly plans are month to month. Cancel with 30 days' notice. If you prepay 6 months, you save 10%.

Which plan should I start with?

Most local businesses start with Starter. If you need content and links to compete, Growth is the usual pick. Authority suits competitive markets and businesses that want AI visibility tracked every month. Not sure? Start with the $399 audit; it tells you exactly what you need.

Can I change plans later?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade at the start of any month.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No one can honestly guarantee rankings or AI mentions. What I guarantee is the work listed in your plan, done properly, with monthly reporting so you can see exactly what happened.

Do you work with multi-location businesses?

Yes. Prices above are for one location. Multi-location plans are quoted per location at a discount.

Not sure which plan fits?
