# Monthly SEO Packages for Local Businesses

Two packages, both month-to-month, cancel anytime. Agentic Local is $249/month for one location: agents do the monthly local SEO, and nothing changes until you approve it. The SEO Services retainer is $995/month: a person does the work.

## The two packages

The difference is who does the work. Agents doing the recurring audits, tracking and recommendations cost less than a person's hours, so Agentic Local is the smaller price, and it routes every change through you for approval. Neither package locks you in.

- **Agentic Local**: $249/month for one location. Monthly local SEO for one location, run by agents. AI-guided setup and AI search work are included, and nothing changes until you approve it. Includes: Monthly local SEO, done for you; 1 business location; AI-guided setup included; AI search work included; Agents audit, track & recommend; You approve before anything changes. Buy: Talk to us, https://seobandwagon.com/contact?offer=agentic-local.
- **SEO Services**: $995/month. Monthly SEO done by a person, for businesses outside legal, dental and healthcare. Includes: Hands-on SEO by a person, every month; Site, content and Business Profile work, prioritized by your own data; A monthly report on what changed. Buy: Talk to us, https://seobandwagon.com/contact?offer=seo-services.

Several locations, a law, dental or healthcare practice, or rather run the
software yourself? Enterprise, the Vertical Content Retainer and Pro cover
those, and they are on the full price list: https://seobandwagon.com/pricing

## What a month of Agentic Local does

1. **Re-audit**: Agents re-run your site audit and list what broke, what changed and what to fix first.
2. **Re-check**: Your keywords are re-checked every 7 days, so the month's work starts from where you actually rank.
3. **Recommend**: On-page, Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) and listing fixes, each drafted with the reason it matters.
4. **Approve**: You approve or decline each one. Nothing on your site or your profile changes without it.
5. **Report**: What moved, what the agents recommended, and what you approved, in one monthly report.

The first month starts with AI-guided setup, and AI search work
(https://seobandwagon.com/ai-seo) is included at no extra cost: the same fundamentals that
ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews reward. There is no separate AI search package
to buy.

On the SEO Services retainer, a person runs the same loop by hand: they read
your own search data, pick the site, content and Business Profile work that
matters most that month, do it, and report what changed. For what the agents
look at in more depth, see what's in the package

## Local SEO pricing at other agencies

We checked the pricing pages of 654 US local SEO agencies in August 2026.
Here is what the ones that publish a price charge.

- Roughly nine in ten publish no price at all.
- $1,199: the median SEO-only monthly rate, across the 33 that publish one.
- $3,000: the median top package, across the 27 that publish a full ladder.

A higher price can buy more hours, more pages or more locations, so compare
what a month includes, not only what it costs. Ask any agency, us included,
what you get each month, who does it, and whether you can leave without a
penalty. Compare SEO companies on price: https://seobandwagon.com/seo-companies

## How much does local SEO cost in the USA?

Our two monthly packages are Agentic Local at $249/month for one location and the SEO Services retainer at $995/month, both month-to-month, cancel anytime. Among the 33 US local SEO agencies in our study that published an SEO-only monthly rate, the median was $1,199 a month.

Most agencies make you ask: of the 654 agency websites we checked in August 2026, roughly nine in ten published no price at all. Among the 27 that published a full ladder of packages, the top tier's median was $3,000 a month.

What moves the price is who does the work. Agents doing the recurring work while you approve it costs less than a person's hours, and that is the whole difference between our two packages.

## What is included in a monthly SEO package?

In Agentic Local, agents re-run your audit, track your keywords and queue on-page, Business Profile and listing fixes for you to approve, with a report each month. In the SEO Services retainer, a person does the site, content and Business Profile work, prioritized by your own data, and reports what changed.

Rankings are re-checked every 7 days, so each month's work starts from where you actually stand rather than from a guess.

Neither package includes link building. We do not sell it: the cheap kind is the fastest way to a penalty, and the safe kind is slow, manual outreach that no monthly package can do well.

## Do monthly SEO packages need a contract?

Ours don't. Both packages are month-to-month, cancel anytime.

An annual contract up front is a red flag when you choose an SEO company. If the work is paying off, you keep paying for it without being locked in.

Nobody can honestly promise a ranking, or a date for one, so neither package does.

## Which local SEO package is right for my business?

Agentic Local suits one location whose owner wants to approve every change. SEO Services suits a business that wants a person doing the work.

Several locations are an Enterprise quote, and law, dental and healthcare practices need the Vertical Content Retainer, which adds the licensed sign-off their pages need. Both are on the full price list.

Either way, the free audit shows what your site needs before you pay for anything.

## Can I do local SEO myself?

Yes. The free audit and free rank tracking for 10 keywords show what to fix, and a monthly package is for when you would rather not do the fixing yourself.

Pro, at $99/month, is the self-serve plan: the same software with more keywords than Free, and you do the work.

Doing it yourself means a routine every month: keep your Business Profile complete and current, keep your name, address and phone the same everywhere you are listed, and work through what the audit finds. That routine is the work a package takes off your hands.

## When not to use us

- 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.
