SEO Packages Pricing Models
SEO agencies offer different pricing models to cater to the needs and budgets of their clients. Two common pricing models used by SEO agencies are retainer-based package pricing and hourly-based pricing.
Hourly Rates for SEO Pricing
Hourly rates can restrict the number of services or tasks that a person can complete within a given timeframe. Clients might have to prioritize their SEO needs, potentially leaving some areas of optimization unaddressed. A top SEO freelancer will charge $100-$250 per hour. A new freelancer who knows some SEO may charge less than $100 per hour. A freelancer with little experience may charge less than $50 per hour.
Retainer Based SEO Packages
At Asset Digital, the monthly retainer is the most popular SEO pricing model. Most of our clients renew their contracts with us, showing high satisfaction with our monthly retainer for service delivery.
Working with a Top SEO Company
Undertaking SEO in-house may appear beneficial from a cost perspective, but it has serious challenges for smaller businesses.
This is the list of skills a top SEO professional must possess to produce consistent performance:
Keyword Research: The fundamental aspect of SEO, understanding how to identify and use relevant keywords that align with search intent underlies organic search.
Analytical Skills & Tools: SEO demands a host of specialized tools, for keyword research, competitor analysis, site audits, rank tracking, and more. A top SEO must possess high skill with these tools to gather, analyze, and interpret data to glean insights into website performance and user behaviour.
Technical Expertise: An understanding of the technical factors that affect SEO like page speed, mobile optimization, URL structure, schema markup, and sitemaps is absolutely essential. An SEO team also needs both front end and full stack website developers.
On-Page and Off-Page SEO: Knowledge of meta tags, title tags, header tags optimization, link-building, managing directory listings, social media, etc. On-page and off-page SEO are separate skill sets.
SEO Content Creation and Optimization: The ability to create and optimize engaging, keyword-rich blog posts that appeal to both users and search engines. With the proliferation of content creation online, many have sought out inexpensive writers to generate an ongoing high volume of content. However low quality – or AI generated – content will not serve the purpose of growing organic traffic because Google’s algorithm will crawl it and determine it to be weak. Today’s content marketers know how to write concise, interesting articles which clearly demonstrate expertise, experience, and build trust. The Google algorithm recognizes this work as quality E-E-A-T content and rewards it with more organic traffic. The ecosystem is simply too competitive for average SEO.
In-depth Knowledge of User Experience: An effective SEO professional should understand how to optimize for a positive user experience, as this plays a role in rankings. User experience refers to a website visitor spending time on the site, visiting multiple pages, and perhaps filling out a form. These are measures tracked to determine UX. In order to build a strong UX, not only does current website behaviour need to be carefully analyzed and then steps to improve the metrics put in place. When a strong SEO strategy is put in place at the outset, detailed personal development work is done and the stronger content plan that results will enable the SEO strategy to show momentum more rapidly.
Top SEO’s commit to professional continuous learning to stay abreast of SEO trends, updates to algorithms, and the growing role of AI in SEO. Thanks to our work with a range of clients across a range of industries over many years, our SEOs have encountered and resolved countless challenges which give them sharp, practiced SEO skills. When you hire Asset Digital, you’re hiring Canada’s top SEOs for small businesses to manage your SEO campaigns.
Implementing an effective monthly SEO requires consistent effort and a time commitment. It is not a one-time task, but a long-term initiative. For small businesses and particularly those teams already stretched thin, managing SEO in addition to their primary duties can be overwhelming and lead to decreased productivity and efficiency in both areas.
Factors Affecting SEO Pricing
Several key digital marketing factors influence the cost of search engine optimization.
Your Goals & Objectives
Your Company Size
Conversely, smaller businesses are in a unique position because they can make significant advances relatively faster than their larger competitors due to the smaller size of the website. SEO is a powerful lever to gain market share against your competitors. The right SEO pricing package and strategy will deliver a clearly measurable ROI.
Current Website Status
If your SEO is no longer delivering growth, then it’s time to bring more advanced strategies and expertise to the table. An SEO audit will provide a view into the current state of your website and the work needed to improve its ranking. This will help you determine the resources and budget required for SEO services.
Competition
Keep in mind that the companies that rank well are getting more of the web based leads, so there is a great deal of upside for your business to overtake them with a strong SEO strategy. Are there certain competitors you want to outpace? Share that information with us during our discussion. Crafting customized SEO strategies is how we have been successful in achieving sustained gains for our clients.
Do You Have These SMB SEO Requirements?
Local SEO Pricing
Local SEO pricing can be more affordable than striving to rank nationally for the same keywords. The reason is because competition may be less. With local SEO strategy, a city modifier is added to the keyword, and since competition for this keyword string is lower, it can be easier to rank.
However, smaller businesses often need an SEO campaign that focuses on different strategies, such as ranking in Google Map results. Local SEO pricing is subject to all the same variables that we’ve described but starts at $750/month.
eCommerce SEO Consulting Rates
The cost of SEO for an eCommerce website is influenced by factors such as the size of the website and number of products you’re selling, your competition and the industry you’re in. eCommerce SEO is typically more expensive than regular SEO, and you should be careful to select an agency that has eCommerce SEO experience to avoid common pitfalls.
The most popular pricing structure for eCommerce websites is the monthly retainer. However, an hourly rate or project-based fee may also be options based on the scope of work to be done. Not sure which is best for you? Speak with one of our consultants and get your questions answered.
Common Search Engine Optimization Pricing Questions
In 2026, small businesses can expect to pay between $2,5000 and $15,000 per month for SEO services. This range depends on the project’s complexity, competition, and the specific needs of the business.
