What is never in the price

  • Paid links, PBNs or link packages. They are a Google spam policy violation and the risk is yours, not ours.
  • Scaled AI content. Hundreds of thin pages a month get sites demoted. We publish fewer, better pages.
  • Rankings guarantees. Anyone selling them is guessing with your money.
  • Locked accounts. Search Console, GA4, GBP and your CMS stay in your name from day one.

Pricing questions

Why does SEO start at $2,200 a month?

Because that buys roughly 20 senior hours, which is the minimum needed to audit, fix, publish and report properly for one site. Cheaper retainers are usually junior hours, templates and reports nobody reads.

What happens in month one?

The audit and 90-day plan (technical crawl, Search Console and analytics review, competitor and AI-citation gap analysis), the first round of technical fixes, and tracking set up. You get the plan in writing by week two.

Can I start with the one-time audit?

Yes. The one-time audit and 90-day plan is $1,800 and is credited against month one if you start a plan within 60 days.

Do you charge for tools?

No. Crawlers, rank and AI-visibility tracking, and reporting tools are included. Ad spend, if any, is separate and paid directly by you.

Can we pause?

Yes, with 30 days' notice, and you keep everything built to that point. Most clients who pause come back before a competitor catches up, but it is your call.
