If you’ve ever tried to get a quote for SEO, you’ve probably seen prices all over the map—$300 here, $3,000 there—and you’re left wondering: Why is this so inconsistent?
Here’s the truth: most SEO providers make pricing complicated on purpose. It’s hard to compare quotes, hard to understand the scope, and harder to know what you’re really getting.
Let’s break it down.
What’s in an SEO Quote, Anyway?
An SEO quote should tell you what work is actually being done. But more often than not, you’ll get something vague like:
- “We’ll improve your rankings”
- “We’ll do technical SEO”
- “We’ll send a monthly report”
…with no real breakdown of deliverables or strategy.
At a minimum, a real SEO quote should include:
- ✅ Keyword Research
- ✅ On-Page Optimization (titles, descriptions, structure)
- ✅ Technical Fixes (site speed, mobile usability, broken links)
- ✅ Content Strategy or Creation
- ✅ Link Building
- ✅ Analytics + Reporting
If it doesn’t spell these out, you’re flying blind.
Why SEO Pricing Is All Over the Place
Here’s why quotes can swing from $300 to $3,000+:
- Some providers are only doing one or two things (like writing a few blog posts).
- Others rely on outdated tactics or automation, rather than real strategy.
- A few are great—but make you jump through hoops to even understand pricing.
And honestly? Some just charge what they think you’ll pay.

If You’re Comparing SEO Quotes, Ask This:
Before you sign any SEO contract, ask:
- What specific work will you do each month?
- How will you measure progress?
- Is there any long-term contract?
- Do you charge more when things get tough?
If the answers aren’t clear, you already know the deal.
