Pricing
Serious work. Fair pricing.
Foundation from $3,500. Care $250 a month. Growth and Operations quoted after a no-cost review.
Foundation and Care are priced openly. Growth and Operations are quoted after we review your business, because pricing unknown work before understanding it would only be a guess.
No annual contracts. Most Growth engagements begin with 90 days, and Foundation includes the initial six-month Care period described below.
Business Growth Review
No-cost initial review
A no-cost conversation, by video or phone, where we look at how your business actually runs and tell you where we would start. It is an assessment and a recommendation, not a full written strategy, a deep technical audit, or implementation work.

The full picture
What a standard Foundation relationship actually costs.
We would rather you see the whole number now than discover it in month two. Here is the standard shape.
Month 1
$3,500
SEOD Foundation, at the starting price. The project itself.
Months 2 to 7
6 × $250
SEOD Care, $1,500 across six months. Includes two strategic articles a month.
First seven months
$5,000
Then Care continues month to month at $250, for as long as it is useful.
For a standard Foundation project starting at $3,500, the initial seven-month relationship begins at $5,000 including the six-month Care period.
Before you decide what any of it is worth: the case studies show what the work produced, and the client reviews are what people said about working with us.
Custom scopes cost more. SEOD Growth is separate and is quoted after your Business Growth Review. Enterprise, e-commerce, multi-location, multilingual, and complex builds are scoped individually. This is transparency, not a headline price, and there is no annual contract underneath it.
How we think about price
Price transparency matters. Price shouldn’t be the whole pitch.
Publishing prices respects your time. It means you can work out whether we are in your range without booking a call to find out.
It does not mean we compete on being the cheapest option, and we would rather not pretend to. There is always someone quoting less. What we will do is tell you the price before the work starts, keep it fixed unless the scope changes, and say so plainly if we think you need less than you came in asking for.
If it’s working, we keep it. That principle has a pricing consequence: sometimes the recommendation is a smaller project.
Questions
Why is Growth not priced on this page?
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.
Is $3,500 the final Foundation price?
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.
Do I have to take Care with Foundation?
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.
Who owns the website, the domain, the content and the accounts?
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.
How do Care and Growth end?
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.
Are there annual contracts?
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.
Is there a setup fee?
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.
Does the Business Growth Review cost anything?
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.
What if I only need one small thing?
Say so on the review. If the honest answer is a small piece of work rather than a relationship, we will tell you that.
