Boston, Cambridge and Greater Boston
SEO consultancy Boston businesses can hold to a number, quoted before we start. The economy here starts with higher education — Harvard, MIT and dozens more colleges sit inside a few miles — and the student economy around them shapes housing, hospitality and retail. That research base feeds biotech and life sciences around Kendall Square, healthcare and the Longwood medical area anchor the other side of the city, finance and asset management sit downtown, software and robotics have taken the Seaport and Route 128, and a dense professional-services sector sells to all of it. It also means practices and clinics are a real market here, which is why the orthodontic and clinical receptionist work earns its place on this page. Month one is $750.
The questions that cost you money
Boston is one of the densest clinical markets in the country. Orthodontists, dental groups, dermatology, fertility and physical therapy all compete for the same patients inside a few miles, and a patient comparing two of them decides on the website and the reviews before anyone picks up the phone. A practice whose site loads slowly and shows no credentials loses consults it never hears about.
Greater Boston is a ring of separate search markets rather than one. A campaign aimed at the city spends money on the North Shore and the South Shore at the same time, reaching people who will never travel in for an appointment. We build around the districts and suburbs you actually serve, and put the local presence underneath so the ads are not carrying the whole practice.
Clinical and orthodontic practices live on the phone, and the new-patient call almost always arrives while the treatment coordinator is with somebody in the chair. Our AI host answers every call, asks the qualifying questions, books the consultation into your calendar and texts you the summary, in 13 languages — which matters in a metro where a large share of residents were born outside the United States.
The local question
Brookline, Newton, Somerville, Quincy, Waltham, Burlington and Framingham are separate cities with separate searches, not one metro. Profile management, reviews and a page per location — $750 a month for three locations.
What we would actually do here
Boston has one of the busiest orthodontic markets in the country, with practices across Back Bay, Brookline, Newton, Quincy and Burlington chasing the same families. The new-patient call is the whole business, and it almost always arrives while the treatment coordinator is with somebody in the chair. Our AI host answers every one, asks the right new-patient questions, books the consultation into your calendar and texts you the summary. It does not put anyone on hold and it does not take a lunch break, and it works in 13 languages in a metro where a large share of residents were born outside the United States.
See what it costsIn a market this educated, practices, clinics and professional firms are chosen after somebody reads the website — usually on a phone, usually within a few minutes of finding it. We build static sites that load fast, carry the credentials and the reviews a Boston buyer is checking for, and are structured so the pages that should rank actually can. Booking, forms and the Google Business Profile are wired in from the start rather than bolted on afterwards. Websites start at $1,000.

See what it costsThe Boston market
Boston's economy starts with higher education. Harvard, MIT and dozens of other colleges and universities sit inside the same small area, and the student economy that comes with them shapes everything from housing to hospitality to retail. That research base feeds the life sciences, with Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Moderna and Biogen clustered around Kendall Square in Cambridge — one of the strongest concentrations of laboratory and clinical work in the country. Healthcare anchors the other side of the city, through the Longwood medical area and its hospitals, research institutes and clinics — Mass General Brigham, Dana-Farber and Boston Children's among them.
Finance and asset management sit downtown and in the Financial District, where Fidelity Investments, State Street and Liberty Mutual are headquartered. Software and robotics have taken the Seaport and the Route 128 corridor, with General Electric, Wayfair, Akamai and HubSpot in and around the city. A dense professional-services sector — law, accounting, consulting, architecture — sells to all of it. The practical consequence for search is that practices and clinics are a real market here: orthodontists, dental groups, dermatology, fertility and physical therapy all compete for the same patients inside a few miles, and almost every one of them is chosen after somebody reads a website.
We do not guess at any of it. The first month goes into your site, your competitors and your enquiry data, and the ongoing quote follows what that actually showed.
Where your customers are
Downtown, Back Bay, the Seaport, Cambridge and Kendall Square are separate search markets, and so are Somerville, Brookline, Newton, Waltham, Quincy, Burlington and Framingham outside the city line. A patient in Newton is not shopping in Back Bay, and a biotech supplier in Waltham is not competing with a clinic in Quincy. We build for the areas you actually cover.

What this normally costs
A full SEO retainer in the United States is typically published at $1,500–$5,000 a month, with competitive and multi-location programs at $5,000–$10,000 and enterprise engagements at $10,000 or more. Across the market the average agency retainer lands at about $3,209 a month. Budget local menus start around $500 but rarely move rankings. Boston is not in our metro pricing table, so these are the national figures rather than a Boston-specific range.
Websites from $1,000, single-channel SEO from $1,500/month and the full program at $2,500/month. Month one is $750 so you can judge the work first. Google Maps and profile management from $750 a month for three locations, $300 for a single profile and $100 for each extra location. That is roughly what most people pay, minus ten percent.
We are fluent English speakers, and we work the way you do — WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or a plain phone call, whichever suits you. Most South African SEO and digital marketing specialists already work inside US agencies, so there is a fair chance you have been served by one without knowing it. We cut out the middle man: you pay for the work, not for the agency layer sitting on top of it.
Market figures are prices published by agencies serving US clients, gathered September 2026. They are ranges from public rate cards, not one company’s quote, and they move.

It is a large part of what we do here. Orthodontic and dental practices, clinics and specialist groups all run on inbound calls and consultations, and most of those calls arrive while the front desk is with a patient. The AI receptionist and the local search work were built for exactly that.

No, and we will not pretend we have one. We work remotely on Boston hours, which is part of why the retainer is priced where it is. What you give up is the ability to walk into a meeting room, which matters to some buyers and not at all to others. We would rather you decide that knowingly.
There is no minimum term. You stop whenever you like and you keep the site, the content, the profiles and the accounts.
