Every way of getting this done, priced honestly.
We sell one of the options on these pages, so we have written down where the others win. Each comparison lists what the work costs, what it covers, and the point at which the cheaper option starts costing you more.
Pick the one you are actually deciding between.
There are three pages here, and each one is written to be useful to someone who ends up not hiring us.
Local SEO agency vs doing it yourself
What an agency charges, what doing it yourself actually costs in hours and tools, and the point where each one stops making sense. Prices and hours included.
Read the comparisonMoz Local vs managed local SEO
Moz Local is software you log into and run yourself. A managed service is people doing the work. What each one covers, and where a listings tool stops.
Read the comparisonLocal SEO agency vs an in-house hire
What an agency costs against a salaried hire, what one person can realistically cover, and the point where bringing local SEO in-house starts to pay.
Read the comparisonWhy an agency publishes these
Most people looking for local SEO help are choosing between four things: doing it themselves, buying software, hiring someone, or hiring an agency. Only one of those ends with us getting paid, and we would rather set the four side by side than pretend the other three do not exist.
So these pages carry our own published prices, the hours the do-it-yourself route really takes, and the parts of the job a tool cannot do. Where the other option is the better buy, the page says so. If you read one of these and decide not to hire anyone, that is a fine outcome, and you will at least know what the work involves.
The free listing check-up works the same way. You get the audit and the one-page plan whether or not you buy anything afterwards.
