Bolt any of these onto a pillar. Scope varies, so we quote them live instead of guessing a number here.
The $15,000/month math (and why SEOD beats it).
Not an opinion, a receipt. Here is what a typical Bay Area small business would pay at two agencies for the same 6-month scope, side by side.
Same deliverables. Three providers. Prices sourced from public rate cards and listed Clutch profiles (2025 to 2026).
SEOD saves $10K to $20K over 6 monthsSources and methodology. WebFX pricing from their published pricing page (SEO $1,500 to $7,500/mo, web dev $500 to $50K per project, content $500 to $3K/mo). Ignite Visibility from Clutch and industry surveys (average retainer $3K to $8K/mo, project work additional). SEOD 6-month total based on the Launch Bundle: $1,497 setup plus six months at $497 Premium Maintenance ($4,479 total). Paid ads handled separately at the Get Busy tier ($1,997/mo). Content layered via Get Found Pro ($997/mo) when needed. Ad spend excluded from all three columns, since spend goes directly to Google or Meta at your cost. Competitor numbers reflect the low end of their published ranges. Actual Bay Area invoices typically run higher.
