SEO Cost - How Much Does SEO Cost?

How Much Does SEO Cost?

Here at the Raleigh SEO Company, we’ve helped over a 1,000 businesses rank #1 on Google since our founding in 1998. Ranking on the 1st page of Google brings in so much new traffic and revenue that we even won an award for generating $12.25 million in new revenue in one year for our clients. Thanks to the 10x ROI our SEO services often provide, we’ve even been featured in INC Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine, and USA Today. So, it’s obvious that search engine optimization is definitely worth the investment, but how much exactly will it cost every month?

How Much Should We Be Paying For SEO?

Determining the Optimal SEO Budget

So how much exactly should you expect to pay for SEO? This is by far the most frequently asked question we encounter. Achieving the desired organic results depends on several factors, including the level of competition for the keywords you want to rank for, the metrics behind your current website, the audience you aim to reach, your geographical location, and the scale of your business. It is beneficial to examine the SEO budgets of successful enterprises within your industry, particularly those comparable in size and scope. Our expertise extends to providing valuable insights into your competitors’ SEO strategies, assisting you in establishing a reasonable budget for your own campaign.

Every Businesses SEO Budget Will Be Different

While understanding the average SEO expenditures for businesses of varying sizes serves as a useful starting point, it is essential to acknowledge that each business is unique. It falls upon you to realistically determine the amount your organization can allocate to SEO.

Our approach involves evaluating your existing budget and identifying the portion that can be dedicated to SEO. If your available funds align with a range suitable for your business size, we can guide you in maximizing the impact of that budget, fostering success. In instances where your budget falls short, we can explore areas where you may optimize your spending, generating additional funds for SEO. After all, well-executed SEO strategies yield substantial long-term returns on investment.

Overcoming Budget Constraints

We understand the importance of budgetary considerations, and we welcome direct conversations to address your specific constraints. Our experience encompasses working with businesses of all sizes and stages, allowing us to tailor a plan that accommodates nearly any budget. As your business grows, we can gradually introduce additional services to further enhance your SEO efforts.

SEO Budget Recommendations by Business Type

Enterprise Level Businesses

Enterprise level businesses with a national focus can expect to spend $10,000 a month or more on SEO.

Medium to Large / eCommerce Businesses

Medium to large size businesses, including eCommerce businesses, can expect to spend $4,000 to $8,000 a month on SEO.

Small to Medium / Local Businesses

Small to medium size businesses, including local and regional businesses, can expect to spend $2,500 to $5,000 a month on SEO.

Optimal SEO Spending for Small Businesses

For small businesses, it is advisable to allocate a minimum of $1,500 to $2,500 per month for SEO services. Pricing is all dependent on the level of competition for the keywords you want to rank for and the metrics behind your website, but on rare occurrences, monthly SEO can be as low as $500 a month. For example, if you are one of only three businesses competing for the same keywords in a small town, then SEO may be as low as $500 a month. This is becoming harder and harder to find these days though as everyone is online now and more and more competitors are popping up looking to take marketshare away from the websites that are already ranking.

At the Raleigh SEO Company, our primary objective is to deliver high-quality service, irrespective of your monthly SEO budget. We are committed to transparent and honest discussions regarding pricing, enabling you to prioritize the services that best suit your needs. Regardless of your expenditure, we strive to facilitate improvement and growth.

The Value of Investing in SEO

Undoubtedly, paying for SEO yields substantial benefits for your business’s future. Remember, quality takes precedence over everything else. While you may come across low-priced SEO services, effectiveness should be your foremost consideration. Choosing an ineffective service only results in wasted time and money. Furthermore, subpar SEO can lead to penalties from Google, irrelevant website traffic, dissatisfied customers, and a tarnished professional reputation. Therefore, investing in high-quality SEO is a prudent long-term decision, even if it requires a slightly higher upfront investment.

Very clear and direct on what they can and can't do. They don't control Google, but they sure understand how the search engine works and were able to get us to #1 in under 6 months. We're now getting over 800 visitors to our website a month and covnerting about 35% of those into new customers. We're now workign with them to do a website redesign to convert more of our Ralegih and Durham website visitors into paying customers.

We partnered up with the Raleigh SEO Company back in 2015 and have been happily with them ever since. The founder of the company is a search marketing veteran from Silicon Valley that has been optimizing websites since 1998. He was a part of the original web guild that established online marketing as an industry. If you get the chance to speak with him, you’ll enjoy how crystal clear he makes everything and how he doesn’t believe in selling. Instead, he focuses on providing his expert analysis on what will work best and then letting his clients decide which direction they want to proceed. He operates very much like a legal expert does. Looking forward to a great 2018 with them.

We got tired of paying our last digital marketing agency $1000 a month for content that, as they put it, was supposed to bring in new clients in droves, but never did. So we decided to up our game and go with the number 1 ranking seo company in the area and that has been the best decision we’ve made in a long time. These guys truly are the attorney SEO experts. Highly recommend.

James Noble

Good results so far. We’ve only been working with them for 4 months now, and know it can take up to a year to see significant results, but it is impressive to see how much they’ve been able to get us on the 1st page of Google for in this short period of time. I don’t really understand how all this works, but I can say it does works. Not sure how it is with other digital marketing agencies, but these guys deliver.

We started working with the Raleigh SEO Company back in June and have been very happy with the results so far. They’ve more than doubled the website traffic we receive every month and looking at the number of new cases we’ve received so far from their online marketing work, we’re getting just over a 10X ROI. We especially liked that they do not take on more than one client per city per niche, so we know they’ll never do the same for one of our competitors. If you’re looking for an attorney SEO expert, I highly recommend Brendan and his team.

I just wanted to personally thank the Raleigh SEO Company team for all you have done for us and our business. Your website and online presence recommendations really helped us with the sites we were trying to rank locally. They’re moving up the top 10 results as we speak and I have no doubt they’ll continue at the current break-neck speed. I really can’t say enough about how much you have helped us, all I can say is thank you very much.

We saw a 212% lift in our website traffic after Brendan and his team started working on our website. And most importantly, the traffic was of much higher quality than we had been receiving in the past as it was laser focused from the higher-value keywords we’ve wanted to rank for for the last several years. Exceptionally talented SEO company with a friendly staff that always made us feel at ease. Highly recommend them.

I happened upon the Raleigh SEO Company when I was doing a search for Durham SEO. I was glad to see they had an office up here in Durham, NC so that I could meet with them in person. I got to meet with the owner, Brendan Monahan, who showed me exactly what was wrong with my website and enabled it to syndicate my blog posts to my Google My Business listing, my Facebook account, my Twitter account, my LinkedIn Business account and a bunch of other social media properties. A true time saver. Really appreciate all the hard work they put in to help my business do better. Good group of guys.

Brendan Monahan is who we turn too when we need an eCommerce site generating revenue fast. On our most recent eCommerce SEO project, he was able to get the site ranking #1 for 3 different national keywords that resulted in a 235% increase in website traffic. He also understands exactly how to structure product and category landing pages, which enabled us to increase our conversion rate from 1.4% to 3.5%. All told, the site is now producing an extra $1.2M in new revenue. Really appreciate all the hard work and looking forward to our next project together.

Outstanding eCommerce SEO so far from the Raleigh SEO Company. We've been with them for just under a year now and am blown away by the amount of revenue our online store now makes. We had another SEO company working on our site before but the results were lack luster. These guys know exactly what they're doing and what it takes to increase revenue. Keep up the good work!

I was referred to Brendan by a friend of mine in BNI who is currently working with him and getting good results for his business in Durham. I was most interested in what eCommerce SEO services his firm could offer and was pleasantly surprised to hear how he and his team have been working with eCommerce clients since 1998. I decided to give them a go and have been more than happy with the results so far. Just looking at the results of the last couple of months, our online revenue is up over 245% resulting in $493,718 in new revenue! Great eCommerce SEO service for the price IMHO.

Excellent team to work with. I wasn’t sure what keywords were the best to pursue and they did all the research for me, showing me how I could get in front of an extra 1,000+ customers a month. The price was reasonable and the ROI has been outstanding. Took us four months to get on the 1st page of Google and that’s where we’ve stayed ever since. Highly recommend them.

Our last agency took our website hostage and refused to give us access to it. So we reached out to Brendan and his team of website designers were able to recreate our old site and get us back online within a week! He was able to save us $22,000, which is what the last agency wanted to complete our 2 year contract with them. We’re now putting that money into SEO and seeing good results. Already on page 1 in less than a month. Great bunch of guys.

As a bankruptcy attorney, I thought my practice would be thriving in these trying times, but alas we weren’t seeing one iota of increased customer calls. We figured out that we just weren’t ranking online and without that visibility we were never going to grow. Brendan and his team of SEO gurus fixed that for us and we now have 10 new leads coming in a day! Highly recommend these guys for getting a business to the top of Google. They truly are the pros.

Brendan has done an amazing job creating our website and dramatically improving our search engine rankings. Over the first four months of service, our website traffic increased 93%. In the same time frame, ranking for one of our focus search terms improved from 56th to 5th. I very much appreciate his efforts, abilities, and professionalism and look forward to continue our services with him. Highly recommended.

Due to the whole COVID fiasco we needed to find a way to keep our doors open, so we reached out to the SEO experts to find out what they could do to help. They showed us how we could increase our online sales by targeting specific keywords and that’s exactly what they did. We now rank #3 on Google and have more leads coming in for our roofing business than we ever thought possible.

I run a landscape design company and saw that the Raleigh SEO Company had got a competitor of mine to #1 on Google in a local city. I reached out to see if they would drop my competitor and take me on as their client for more money and was shocked to hear them say NO. They actually said NO! I even offered them $1000 more a month than my competitor was paying and they still said no. They told me it was a conflict of interest and that's not how they roll. I was impressed with their honesty and integrity so I asked if they could rank me for a different city that my competitor wasn't ranking in and they agreed. We've been working together for 4 months now and my site is sitting in the #1 position now. Very happy with the results and very impressed with their level of integrity.

Carmen Arnold

13:23 17 Aug 21

These guys are the real deal! I spent over $22,000 with my last SEO agency and gave up on them after they couldn't even get me on Page 1. The Raleigh SEO Company swooped in and not only got me on the 1st page, but all the way to #1! Well worth the investment. Now I get to tell everyone I'm the #1 Ranking Attorney in my area. Awesome marketing approach that closes clients day and night. Thanks for all the amazing work guys!

I reached out to Raleigh SEO regarding marketing needs for my local small business. They were very professional and informed us that in our particular case SEO services was not what we needed to accomplish our goals. They were nice enough to advise us anyway and direct us in the right direction which shows that they are the kind of company that you want to do business with.
