How Much Do SEO Agencies Charge?

According to Arc Intermedia, SEO agencies typically charge between $1,500 and $7,000 per month for their services. However, pricing can vary widely based on several factors: 

Monthly Retainers

  • The average cost of monthly SEO services from an agency is about $3,200.
  • For small to midsize businesses, monthly retainers often range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • Some agencies may charge as low as $500 per month but buyer beware, while others may charge over $10,000 for more comprehensive services.

Hourly Rates

  • Based on recent data, the average hourly rate for SEO services is $125.
  • Most agencies charge between $100 to $250 per hour for SEO consulting.

Project-Based Pricing

  • One-time, consulting SEO projects typically cost between $5,000 to $30,000.
  • Many agencies tend to avoid one-off projects, as effective SEO takes time to develop and permeate.

Factors affecting how much companies charge for SEO agencies include the agency’s reputation and experience, scope of services provided, size and complexity of the client’s website, competitiveness of targeted keywords, geographic location of the agency, and more.

It’s important to note that higher-priced agencies often deliver better results, with companies spending below $500 per month often expressing dissatisfaction with the service. Reputable agencies with experienced SEO professionals should make themselves available, explain exactly what work they’re doing, and be completely transparent with their reports via thorough reporting.
