Pricing plans
Our SEO pricing fits on one line: Starter $300, Growth $500 or Pro $700 USD a month, with nothing binding you past the current month. When Starter is enough for your business, Starter is what we suggest.
The plans
Each plan builds on the one before it, so you can start small and move up when the work justifies it.
Core local SEO, set up properly first and then reported every month
$300 USD/month
Fits: a new practice, a solo professional or a trade with few nearby competitors
Ongoing ranking work and fresh pages, as well as a well-kept map listing
$500 USD/month
Fits: practices with a few years behind them, competing where every rival has reviews, as in dental, legal or property work
Search rankings and a paid Google Ads account, run by the same people
$700 USD/month
Fits: a business that wants inquiries this quarter and a longer game as well; Google bills the clicks directly
The numbers first
Palo Alto buyers tend to want the figures before the pitch, so they come first here: our three monthly plans in US dollars, plus a note on what sits above and below that band. Then, before you weigh one quote against another, read what Google itself says about hiring an SEO, including the questions it suggests putting to any agency.
Under $300
Mostly self-serve tools
Below our entry price, the usual product is a reporting dashboard or a listings tool. Useful, but nobody rewrites a page or answers a question about your account.
$300 – $700
Our three plans
Starter $300, Growth $500, Pro $700. In every plan the same named person handles your profile, pages and listings each month, then writes down what changed.
Over $700
Multi-site groups and heavy ad budgets
Clinics or chains with several locations, or firms buying clicks across the whole Bay Area. However, one Palo Alto storefront or office rarely belongs here.
We quote every price on seopaloalto.com in US dollars (USD).
The first factor weighs heaviest, while the last one matters only if you advertise.
Ask this of any agency you talk to, ours too.
Some fixes land quickly, while the larger gains build over a year.
First come the basics: an unverified listing, the wrong primary category, outdated hours or a duplicate profile. Correcting these can move map visibility within weeks.
By now Google should be indexing and ranking new pages, reviews should arrive at a steady rate, and the lead counts in your report should be rising.
Finally, total twelve invoices, count the customers search produced and compare. Nothing else settles the question as well.
For some Palo Alto businesses it will not pay, so this list helps you spot that early.
Plans run one month at a time. If the work stops paying off, you can stop paying for it.
Google alone decides positions, so we treat any promised ranking as a red flag, our own included.
When positions improve but leads stay flat, the report says that first, along with what we plan to try.
We check your rankings from Downtown to Barron Park, name the businesses ahead of you and pick out the fixes that would count most. No charge.
