The list

Entry is the entry rung of the agency's SEO ladder, a month, read from the whole page rather than the cheapest figure on it; top tier is the highest figure attached to a named SEO tier. Prices change. The linked page is the one to check, and the last column is the day we read it.

The numbers

Nearest-rank percentiles of the 41 census entry prices and the 27 published top tiers. A published ladder climbs 2.3 times from entry to top at the median, quartiles 1.9 to 4.2.

An independent check on the level: Ahrefs polled 439 SEO providers on what they charge and found a mean local SEO retainer of $1,557 a month. The mean entry price here is $1,517. Two instruments with no method, sample or author in common. Ahrefs' poll.

WHAT EACH PRICE BAND BUYS

Counts are the census entry prices in each band. The descriptions are read from the tier feature lists on those pages, on September 2, 2026.

Entry prices by band, with what the pages in each band promise
ENTRY PRICE, A MONTHAGENCIESWHAT THE PAGES IN THE BAND PROMISE
$0 to $4994Listings and a Business Profile, a dashboard, or one line item inside a larger package; often priced for one location.
$500 to $99912One location: Business Profile management, citations, a handful of tracked keywords and a monthly report. Content is usually zero to one post.
$1,000 to $2,49918The common agency entry package: technical fixes, one to four pieces of content, a few links a month, a named contact.
$2,500 and above7Multi-location or competitive-market work: more content, digital PR, strategist time, weekly touchpoints.

Our prices, published

Every price we charge is on the pricing page. The two that belong beside this list: SEO Services, a person doing the monthly work, and Agentic Local, agents doing it for one location. Agentic Local is software plus agents rather than a hands-on retainer, so the like-for-like row is SEO Services. Both are month-to-month, cancel anytime.

How this list is made

From agencies checked to agencies publishing their own monthly SEO price
STEPAGENCIESOF 653
Agencies checked653100.0%
Have a pricing page at a standard path17627.0%

  • Population. The 653 US agencies in the Semrush partner directory that list Local SEO among their services (654 directory records; one agency held two profiles for one page). A census, not a sample, and not a ranking.
  • Discovery. 12 standard pricing paths per domain, fetched August 26, 2026 to August 29, 2026.
  • Reading. Every figure the parser extracted was read by hand against the cached page on September 2, 2026: of the 75 monthly figures, 25 priced a different service (hosting, a CRM, ad management), 14 were market commentary or a quoted survey, 8 were not a price at all (ad-spend minimums, form fields, discounts), one was a template demo and one a duplicate. Each page with an SEO price was then read in full for its ladder on September 12, 2026, which is where the entry and top figures come from.
  • The re-test. Path-based discovery misses pricing pages at other paths, so 150 of the 478 agencies with no page found were mapped again. 5 had a real pricing page of their own (3.3%, 95% interval 0.5% to 6.2%), 4 of them for SEO, marked † above. The corrected share of agencies publishing a comparable price is 8.7% (95% interval 6.6% to 10.8%), which is why the page says nine in ten publish nothing, not 93.7%.
  • Not in this list. A separate check of 43 legal-marketing agencies at 14 paths found 7 publishing a rate. Directory figures such as Clutch's minimum project sizes are gates an agency chooses from a menu, not prices, and are quoted only in the questions below.

QUESTIONS BUYERS ASK

How much do SEO companies charge?

Of the 653 US local SEO agencies we checked, 41 publish a monthly SEO price, and their entry prices run from $246 to $3,500 a month. The median is $1,500; among the 27 that publish a ladder, the median top tier is $3,000.

The rest of the market is a quote. Roughly nine in ten of the agencies checked publish no SEO price you could compare: 91.3% once a random re-test of 150 of the agencies with no pricing page found is counted in, with a 95% interval of 89.2% to 93.4%.

An independent poll agrees on the level. Ahrefs asked 439 SEO providers what they charge and found a mean local SEO retainer of $1,557 a month; the mean entry price on this list is $1,517.

Does SEO Bandwagon publish its prices?

Yes, every one of them, on the pricing page. The two that belong beside this list are SEO Services, a person doing the monthly work, at $995/month, and Agentic Local, agents doing it for one location, at $249/month for one location.

Agentic Local is software plus agents, so it is not a like-for-like row against a hands-on retainer; SEO Services is. Both are month-to-month, cancel anytime, and the free audit shows what your site needs before you pay for either.

Who are the best SEO companies?

We do not rank them, and neither does this list: it is every US local SEO agency in the Semrush partner directory that publishes a monthly SEO price, in price order.

Most pages that rank agencies are written by agencies, and the writer tends to come first. A published price, month-to-month terms and a report that shows what changed are the three things to check before any ranking.

What a price buys changes with the band. The cheapest tiers on these pages are listings, a Business Profile and a dashboard; the common agency entry package adds technical fixes, a few pieces of content and a handful of links a month; the top tiers add strategist time and multi-location work.

Why do so few SEO companies publish a price?

Most never made a pricing page: 176 of the 653 agencies checked had one at a standard path. Of the 75 whose page led with a monthly figure, only 26 had put their own SEO price there; the others led with hosting, a CRM licence, ad management, someone else's survey or a budget selector.

Reading each page in full found 41 agencies with an SEO price, because some bury the SEO ladder under other products, and a random re-test of 150 of the 478 agencies with no page found turned up 5 more with a real pricing page of their own, 3.3% of the sample. That is how the corrected estimate of 8.7% publishing was reached, which leaves roughly nine in ten publishing nothing you could compare.

How much does an SEO consultant cost?

In Ahrefs' poll of 439 SEO providers, consultants reported a mean of $3,250 a month, freelancers $1,348 and agencies $3,209; the mean hourly rate across the poll was $111.

On Clutch, 45% of the 4,146 US agencies that publish an hourly band put it at $100 to $149 an hour, read 2026-08-27. Those are self-reported bands, not invoices.

SEO Bandwagon publishes no consulting rate. What it publishes is the monthly package and the retainer above, and the free audit, which is where a consultation would start anyway.

When not to use us

Straight answers, so you can rule us out before you spend anything.

  • You have several locations. Agentic Local is priced for one; Enterprise covers more.
  • You work in law, dentistry or healthcare. Pages there need a licensed sign-off, which the Vertical Content Retainer covers.
  • You want a guaranteed ranking, or a date for one. Nobody can promise either, and we will not.
  • You want link building. We do not sell it.
  • You want agents that change things on their own. Ours change nothing without your approval.
