WHAT AFFECTS COST

Why seo costs vary.

01

Competition level

"SEO agency London" (KD 64) costs significantly more than "SEO agency Shoreditch" (KD 25). The more competitive your target keywords, the more content, links, and technical work required.

02

Current site health

A site with major technical debt (slow load times, broken schema, poor mobile experience) needs more upfront work in months 1–3, which affects early-stage pricing.

03

Content velocity

More content pieces per month means faster compounding but higher cost. 4 pieces/month is standard; 8+ is aggressive growth.

04

AI/GEO work

Getting cited in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT requires structured content engineering — an additional specialism that not all agencies offer.
