Two numbers decide whether this is worth doing: what one click costs in this market, and what the traffic behind that click prices at. Both are measurements of ours. Our own price is published too: SEO Services, $995/month, month-to-month, cancel anytime. Roughly nine in ten SEO agencies publish none; the ones that do are listed on SEO companies that publish their prices.
WHAT ONE CLICK COSTS
TOP CPC · US · “SHOPIFY SEO AGENCY”
The dearest click we have recorded in this category. It is what the ad auction charges for one visit from someone who has not decided anything yet — and it is the yardstick for every SEO quote you will ever be handed, including ours.
SRC: Google Ads, US, Jul 2026
WHAT THE TRAFFIC IS WORTH
PER MONTH · AD-EQUIVALENT · ONE KEYWORD
“shopify seo agency” in US: 1,300 searches a month at $34.66 a click. That is what the traffic behind one keyword prices at if you rent it from Google. How much of it a ranking hands you depends on where you land — that part is yours, and not ours to promise.
SRC: volume × CPC · Google Ads, US, Jul 2026
Every commercial term in the ecommerce SEO category, with where on this page it gets answered. 1 term, 1,300 searches a month, one page.

GUIDE · READ BEFORE YOU HIRE ANYONE
Everything we would say in a first call, written out. No gate, no email required. Open what applies to you.
Nothing about ecommerce SEO is unusual as a technique. What is unusual is the cost of being wrong: an advertiser will pay $34.66 for one click on “shopify seo agency”. That price sets everything downstream — more competitors, more spend, and a page one where directories with long head starts hold most of the organic slots. Read the price before you read anyone's proposal.

Every figure here carries the source it came from, in the line beneath it. The metro data is republished in full on 54 city pages and 239 city × vertical pages, free and ungated, whether or not you ever become a client. If a figure and its source disagree, the source wins and we will fix the page.

Three steps, in this order, every time. The first is free and you run it yourself.
STEP 01
A technical read of your site — what is broken, what is missing, and which of it actually affects ranking. You run it yourself.

STEP 02
The keyword and competitor picture for the market you are in, built from the same data on this page. You see it before anyone quotes you a price for it.
Drawn from the weekly collection
STEP 03
The fixes, in the order the data says they matter — profile, pages, citations — and the rank tracking to show whether any of it moved.

QUESTIONS BUYERS ASK
SEO Services is $995/month, month-to-month, cancel anytime. For scale, the dearest ecommerce click we have recorded is $34.66, for “shopify seo agency” in the US.
A person does the work every month, on your category pages, your product pages and your content, prioritized by your own data, with a monthly report on what changed.
The techniques are the same; the site is not. For an online store, category and product pages do the work a Business Profile does for a local business, and product structured data tells Google what each page sells.
The competition is different too. There is no map pack to win, so the first page is organic results and shopping listings, and you compete with stores well beyond your own city.
Not directly. Product structured data makes a page eligible for rich results in Google, such as price, availability and review stars, which can win the click once the page ranks.
It is part of the technical work in SEO Services, at $995/month, alongside category structure and product copy written for the searches that bring buyers.
The questions we are actually asked, answered with our own numbers.
Three things, in order: a technical scan of your site, a keyword and competitor picture for the markets you serve, and the work to fix what the scan found. The scan is free with a Google sign-in, and you run it yourself.

We do not publish a timeline, because we cannot source one. Map positions and organic positions move at different speeds, and how fast either moves depends on where your site starts and how contested your market is. Anyone quoting you a month-by-month ranking forecast is guessing.
No forecast published — we do not have data that would support one
Search volume and cost per click are Google Ads figures, collected on a weekly schedule rather than estimated. Business and map data come from a live read of Google Maps in each metro. Every figure on this page carries its source underneath it. Anything we cannot source, we do not publish.
Collected through Sep 8, 2026 · 54 metros
Run the scan against your site before you talk to anyone, us included. It checks the technical signals that actually move rankings and tells you which ones you are failing. If it comes back clean, we will tell you that.

OR JUST TAKE THE DATA
Everything on this page is published free and ungated, client or not. If you would rather read your own metro's numbers before anything else, they are already up.
Every vertical we publish demand data for, with its head term's monthly search volume and the highest advertiser cost per click in that term set.
SRC: Google Ads, US, Jul 2026
HOW THIS DATA WAS COLLECTED
Keyword volume and cost per click come from Google Ads via DataForSEO — the category terms at US national scope, the metro figures scoped to each metro individually. Business, rating and map data come from a live read of Google Maps in the same metros. Everything is collected on a weekly schedule, not on request.
This is first-party data and we publish the whole set, client or not. There are no third-party benchmark figures on this page: no borrowed retainer ranges, no click-through-rate curves, no industry averages. If we did not measure it, it is not here.
THE PUBLISHER
Search-market data and local SEO, nationwide. We publish the search ledger for 54 metros and 239 city × vertical markets, and refresh every one of them weekly.
