Why Does SEO Cost So Much? And Is Cheap SEO Really Worth It?
We get it. As a small business owner, every dollar counts. When one agency charges $99/month for SEO and another charges $1,500+, it's natural to wonder what the difference is.
Here's what you need to know.
SEO isn't just adding keywords to your website. It's researching your competition, improving your website, optimizing your Google presence, creating valuable content, monitoring performance, and continuously adjusting your strategy.
๐ฉ The problem with extremely cheap SEO?
Many low-cost SEO packages rely on automated reports, generic content, minimal website improvements, or outdated tactics. Some may even use shortcuts that put your website's reputation at risk.
That doesn't mean every business needs a $1,500+ SEO package, either!
At Infinite Web Co., we believe your SEO strategy should match where your business is today.
Starter SEO โ Starting at $699/month
Designed for startups, new businesses, and local businesses with little to no online visibility.
Our focus is building your SEO foundation, improving your Google Business Profile, optimizing your website, and helping potential customers start finding you online.
Growth SEO โ Starting at $1,500/month
Designed for established businesses looking to compete in more competitive markets, expand their reach, and generate more qualified leads.
This involves more advanced keyword research, competitive analysis, deeper technical optimization, ongoing content strategies, and a more aggressive approach to organic growth.
The difference? Starter SEO builds your foundation. Growth SEO builds on that foundation to pursue bigger opportunities.
You don't need to pay for advanced SEO if your business isn't ready for it. But you also can't expect a $99 SEO package to deliver the same level of work as a comprehensive growth strategy.
At Infinite Web Co., we build SEO strategies around your business, your competition, and your goals.
