SEO Pricing UK | Transparent, Tiered Costs for Small Businesses

What Does SEO Actually Cost in the UK?

SEO pricing in the UK varies wildly. You’ll find everything from £50/month “SEO packages” (which do almost nothing) to enterprise agencies charging £5,000+/month (which do a lot, but mostly for big brands).

For small businesses, realistic SEO pricing typically falls between £200–£800/month for ongoing work. Below £200, you’re usually getting automated reports and not much else. Above £800, you’re paying for agency overheads unless you have a genuinely complex site.

Our pricing sits in the sweet spot: enough budget to actually move the needle, without paying for fancy offices in London or account managers who’ve never touched a WordPress dashboard.

What affects SEO pricing?

• Competition level — Ranking a plumber in a small town costs less than ranking a solicitor in Manchester
• Site condition — A well-built site needs less technical work than one held together with plugins and prayers
• Content needs — More pages and blog posts = more work = higher cost
• Goals and timeline — Faster results require more intensive effort upfront
• Geographic targeting — Local SEO is simpler than national or multi-location campaigns

Why Our SEO Pricing Works for Small Businesses

We’re not a big agency. We don’t have 47 staff, a glass-walled office, or a foosball table. That means lower overheads — and those savings go directly into your SEO work, not our rent.

Here’s what makes our pricing different:

• No VAT for UK micro businesses — We’re EU-based (Spain), so we don’t charge UK VAT. That’s an instant 20% saving compared to most UK agencies.
• No contracts or lock-ins — Pay monthly, cancel anytime. We earn your business every month.
• Real humans doing the work — Your SEO is handled by Simon and Lisa, not outsourced to anonymous freelancers or churned through AI content mills.
• Transparent deliverables — You know exactly what you’re getting each month. No vague “optimisation” promises.
• Results you can measure — We track rankings, traffic, and enquiries. If it’s not working, we tell you.

Real Results at These Prices

In late 2025, a Coventry cleaning company started working with us on our Light plan. They’d tried SEO before with no results and were sceptical about trying again.

Where they started:

• Zero Google visibility — not ranking for any relevant terms
• No analytics or Search Console installed — flying blind
• Thin service pages with generic content
• Missing local SEO signals — no GBP optimisation
• No GDPR compliance — potential legal risk

After 4 months of work:

• Page 1 rankings for target keywords within 6 weeks
• 5x increase in website enquiries
• Now ranking page 1-2 for commercial and domestic cleaning in Coventry
• Steady stream of new customer calls each week

Total investment: under £1,100 over 4 months. Return: a pipeline of new customers that will continue paying back for years.

That’s what sensible SEO pricing looks like — affordable enough to try, effective enough to keep. Not every business will see results this quickly (competition and site condition matter), but this shows what’s possible with focused, consistent work.

How We Keep Prices Fair

There’s a reason we can offer quality SEO at these prices while bigger agencies charge 3-4x more for similar work. Here’s how:

• Low overheads — We work remotely from Spain. No expensive UK office, no commuting costs, no corporate bloat.
• No middlemen — When you work with us, you work with the people doing the actual SEO. No account managers, no layers of communication.
• Efficient processes — We’ve built tools and templates that let us work quickly without cutting corners.
• Focused expertise — We specialise in small business SEO. We’re not trying to service enterprise clients with complex requirements.
• No VAT — As a Spain-based business, we don’t add 20% VAT to our invoices for UK micro businesses.

The result: you get experienced, hands-on SEO work at prices that make sense for a small business budget. No corporate bloat, no account managers who’ve never touched WordPress — just practical SEO that delivers results.

What to Expect Month by Month

SEO isn’t magic — it’s consistent work over time. Here’s what a typical engagement looks like:

Month 1: Foundation
We audit your site, identify priorities, fix critical technical issues, and set up tracking. You’ll see our full findings and agree on the strategy going forward.

Months 2-3: Building
Content creation begins. We optimise existing pages, publish new content, and build local SEO signals. You’ll start seeing movement in rankings for less competitive terms.

Months 4-6: Growth
Momentum builds. More content, more backlinks, more visibility. Most businesses see measurable improvements in traffic and enquiries by this stage.

Month 6+: Compounding
SEO compounds over time. The content we created in month 2 continues to rank and attract traffic. Each month’s work adds to the previous months’ gains.

We set realistic expectations upfront. If your market is highly competitive, we’ll tell you. If quick wins are possible, we’ll prioritise them.

How Our Pricing Compares

Here’s how our SEO pricing stacks up against typical UK alternatives:

We sit in the sweet spot: quality work at prices designed for small businesses, not enterprise budgets.

SEO Pricing Red Flags to Watch For

Not all SEO pricing is honest. Here’s what should make you suspicious:

• “Guaranteed #1 rankings” — Nobody can guarantee this. Google’s algorithm isn’t for sale.
• £50-£100/month “SEO packages” — At this price, you’re getting automated reports and maybe some “dodgy” directory submissions. That’s not SEO.
• Long contracts (12+ months) — If they need to lock you in, they’re probably not confident in their results.
• Vague deliverables — “Ongoing optimisation” means nothing. You should know exactly what you’re paying for.
• No reporting or transparency — If they can’t show you what they’ve done, they probably haven’t done much.
• Outsourced to “our team” — Ask who’s actually doing the work. If they can’t tell you, it’s probably being farmed out cheaply.

We’re happy to answer any questions about our pricing or explain exactly what you’d get. Just ask.
