Serious work. Fair pricing.

Because Growth work is different for every business. A restaurant with a good site and no local presence needs a different plan from a contractor whose calls go unanswered. We price it after the Business Growth Review, in writing, before anything starts.

It is the starting price for a standard small-business project, confirmed after the review. It covers the scope listed on the Foundation page, including two structured revision rounds. Not every project at that price receives unlimited custom work, and larger or more complex builds are scoped separately before anything starts.

Yes, for the first six months. Every Foundation project continues into six months of SEOD Care beginning in Month 2 and covering Months 2 through 7, then continues month to month. For a standard project at the $3,500 starting price, that means $3,500 plus six months at $250, so $5,000 across the first seven months. A newly built site is exactly when neglect costs the most, which is why it is part of the project rather than an upsell afterwards.

You do. The domain, the hosting, the analytics and ad accounts, the content and the site itself are yours, registered and held in your name where the platform allows it. If the relationship ends you keep all of it and nothing needs to be rebuilt or handed over. There is more on why this matters, and what to check before signing with anyone, in what data you should own and be able to take with you.

In writing, at the end of a month, with no fee for stopping. Care runs its six initial months for a Foundation client, Months 2 through 7, and is month to month after that. Most Growth plans begin with a 90-day initial term and are month to month after that. There are no annual contracts, so ending either one is a matter of telling us.

No. Two commitments exist and both are stated up front rather than in fine print. A Foundation project continues into six months of Care, Months 2 through 7. And most Growth plans begin with a 90-day initial term. After each of those, everything is month-to-month.

No. SEOD does not charge a generic setup, activation, or onboarding fee. For Foundation, the setup and build work is part of the quoted project price. For Growth and Operations, any onboarding, discovery, or technical configuration is written into the scope and the quote so you can see what you are paying for.

No. The initial review is no cost. It is an assessment and a recommendation, not a full written strategy, a deep technical audit, or implementation work. Where one of those is genuinely the right next step, we scope and price it separately.

Because the price is set by the work rather than by a minimum. A premium agency posts a floor because its model carries the overhead that floor pays for: several specialists on every project, account management, and months of research before anything is designed. A $100,000 engagement is not a padded $3,500 one, and a business with a large content estate, a design system to maintain, or a multi-team approval process should buy it. An owner-operated business with a service to sell and a local market to win usually needs something different: a site that says clearly what the business does, loads fast on a phone, gets found for the searches that matter, and turns a visit into a call. That is what Foundation is scoped to deliver, and $3,500 is where that work starts.

$3,500 is the starting price and it is published so that everyone sees the same number before the first call. What changes is the scope, not the discount. If your logo is good, we keep it. If half your site works, we fix the half that does not. Where the business already owns pieces that work, the project gets smaller and the price follows it. The one straightforward reduction is the referral program, which takes $500 off a qualifying initial project. And if the honest answer is a small piece of work rather than a relationship, we will tell you that.

Ask them two questions. Is the writing for every page included, or are you supplying the copy. And is the brand work included, or is it billed separately. Those two answers move a website quote more than anything else in it. Then put the two scope lists next to each other rather than the two numbers, because a lower price for less work is not a lower price. Foundation’s list is on the Foundation page.
