Common questions.

What does SEOD actually do?

Five services under one roof: SEO/AEO/GEO (search visibility, from $297/mo), Website Development (flat-fee builds, from $1,497), Operations Management (audits and retainers, from $497), AI Technology (task automation, gated by $500 audit), and Dashboards + Data Analysis (from $497/mo).

How much does a Bay Area agency cost?

Most generalist Bay Area agencies charge $3,000 to $7,500 per month with 6 to 12-month minimums and no published rates. SEOD's most expensive recurring tier is $1,997/mo with no annual contract. The lowest published recurring rate is $297/mo. Every price is on the pricing page.

Do you require an annual contract?

No. Marketing and Operations retainers are month-to-month with 30 days notice. Web Development is a flat-fee project, not a subscription. AI agent retainers go month-to-month after a 90-day setup and tune period.

Does SEOD work outside the Bay Area?

Remote work yes. Onsite kickoff is Bay Area only (roughly 50 miles of San Mateo). If you are outside the area and want the Sprint pattern, we run a hybrid with video kickoff and shared workspace board, onsite reserved for escalations.

How do I know if SEOD is the right fit?

Run the free 3-Point Visibility Audit. One page, 48 hours, no sales call. If the findings make sense and the pricing fits, we proceed. If not, you have a useful audit to act on with another agency.
