What affects SEO cost?
The main cost drivers are: the scale of your campaign (local vs national), the number of keywords targeted, how competitive your industry is (finance and law cost more to rank in than trades or hospitality), and timeline. Accelerated campaigns require more resources — content, links, technical work — to compress results.
UK agency vs freelancer
A freelancer might charge £300–600/month for a basic local campaign. A specialist agency typically starts at £700–1,000/month for local SEO and £1,500–3,000+ for regional or national campaigns. The difference is capacity: agencies can produce content, build links, and manage technical SEO simultaneously at scale.
Are there long-term contracts?
Many agencies require 6–12 month minimum contracts because SEO results take time to compound. We prefer shorter initial agreements with rolling months after the first 3 months — so you stay because results are coming, not because you're locked in. We'll propose terms openly after your free audit.
