the USA SEO, PPC & website pricing
See our US starting prices for SEO, AEO, GEO, PPC management, authority and backlink work, landing pages and website design. These are guide prices rather than fixed packages; the final quote depends on what your website actually needs.
Where to start
Read them in order. Each level is the one below it plus the thing that usually becomes the next constraint. Level two is where most businesses land, because it is the first level that adds content every month, and content is normally what turns rankings into enquiries. If you are not sure which one is you, book the call and we will tell you honestly, including when the answer is the cheaper level.
From $1,000 a month. For one location that needs to be found nearby.
Pick this if you serve one city and the phone is quiet.
From $3,500 a month. The level most US clients start on.
Pick this if you already rank for something and the site is not converting it.
From $6,000 a month. For businesses losing ground in AI answers.
Pick this if buyers ask ChatGPT or read an AI Overview before they reach your site.
From $10,000 a month. The whole department, one fee.
Pick this if you compete in several markets and want one team accountable for all of it.
Everything below this point is the same work priced as single pieces, for the month when you need one thing rather than the whole level.
Not sure which level is you? Book a meeting and we will tell you which one fits, and what it would take to move up later.
Book a meetingFirst-month scope offer
Start the first month at a 50% discount. That gives us time to work inside your website, discover what it actually needs and understand the full scope of the work.
Then you get the real quote. At the end of month one, we show you what we found, what we recommend doing next and what the ongoing SEO management will actually cost. You decide whether you want to continue.
What SEO management connects
The discovery month shows whether the website needs technical repair, stronger pages, content depth, local signals, authority or a combination.
SEO pricing table
Core SEO covers the technical, content and search-intent work that helps people find and use the site. AEO and GEO build on that foundation for answer engines, AI Overviews and generative search. Authority and backlink campaigns cost more because quality outreach, research, editorial assets and relationship building require considerably more specialist time.
starting from $1,500/month
Ongoing technical, on-page, content-priority and internal-linking work. First month starts at $750 under the 50% scope offer.
starting from $750/month
For one primary profile with local relevance, service alignment, Maps signals and ongoing profile work.
starting from $325 once-off
Crawl, indexation, canonicals, redirects, status codes, sitemap, page architecture and priority fixes.
starting from $750/project
Focused optimization of the highest-value commercial pages, including titles, headings, internal links and page intent.
starting from $1,500/month
Planned search-led content and page improvement. Exact volume depends on research depth and subject complexity.
starting from $1,500/month
Answer structure, entities, FAQs, extractable passages and evidence that improve eligibility for answer surfaces.
starting from $750/month
AI-search visibility work covering entity clarity, corroboration, citations, content architecture and generative discovery.
starting from $2,500/month
The premium SEO line: research-led outreach, editorial assets, digital PR and quality-control work. Third-party fees excluded unless approved.

Book a meetingAEO + GEO
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) makes your answers easier for search engines and AI systems to identify and use by improving page structure, entities, FAQs, supporting evidence and concise answer sections.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) strengthens the signals that help generative search understand who your business is, what it does and what evidence supports its expertise.
Neither service guarantees that a particular AI system will mention your business. The goal is to make your information clearer, better supported and easier for search and AI systems to understand.

Website design pricing table
US web projects are priced for the local commercial market while retaining the cost advantage of South African delivery. Content, ecommerce complexity and custom integrations can change the final quote.
starting from $250
Focused conversion page for paid search, a campaign or one primary offer.
starting from $500
Fast, secure SEO-first brochure site with responsive layout and core on-page structure.
starting from $90/page
For projects that need more service, location, trust or supporting pages beyond the initial scope.

starting from $875
For businesses that genuinely need CMS editing, plugins or a WordPress publishing workflow.
starting from $1,500
Starting point for a commerce build. Product count, checkout stack, shipping, tax and integrations affect scope.
What affects the quote
The final price depends on page count, technical problems, competition, integrations, content, locations, tracking and the amount of authority work required. We would rather inspect the real website and quote the work it needs than force every business into the same package.
Pricing FAQs
Because we do not want to guess your long-term fee before we have worked inside the website. Month one lets us find the technical problems, content gaps, competitive pressure and implementation workload. We then give you the proper ongoing quote based on what we actually found.
Basic answer clarity and machine-readable structure can form part of broader SEO. Dedicated AEO or GEO work is priced separately when the project needs deeper entity work, answer architecture, AI-search research or off-site corroboration.
Because legitimate authority building is labour intensive. Research, prospect qualification, outreach, editorial assets, follow-up and quality control take considerably more time than changing metadata or fixing an internal link. Publishers also want to be paid for the placement, they negotiate the fee, and some want a reciprocal link instead. That is more time again, and it is why the cheap link packages you see advertised are not doing this work.
Yes. SEO management starts from $1,500/month, but that is a starting point rather than an automatic month-two price. Month one is 50% off while we establish the scope. We then give you the ongoing quote before you decide whether to continue.
