Pricing varies by project. Generally, monthly retainer pricing ranges starting at $3,000 to $12,000 USD per month, depending on the project’s needs and requirements.

SEO Strategy calls currently cost $450, which includes up to an hour and a half of time. This typically breaks down to a 30-60 minute call, a quick investigation of issues and opportunities, and includes a follow-up email.

Other Recommended Professional SEO Consultants & Agencies

We often recommend other SEO agencies and independent consultants to work with. These agencies and consultants have been vetted by us or people we trust in the SEO industry.

To be honest, this list is pretty popular. This means that you might find it hard to hire–or even get a response from–many of the people on this list. Budgets tend to be higher too. That said, the quality of help and expertise is top-notch.
