How much will SEO actually cost you?
Seven questions. A straight number. No email required.
Introduction
Most SEO pricing pages give you a "from" figure and hope you'll call. This one works out what you actually need, what it costs with me, what it costs if you do it yourself, and the costs you'll pay either way.
Answer the seven questions below. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent anywhere.

02 - What SEO costs in Australia
What SEO costs in Australia.
Agencies charge $1,500 to $5,000 a month on 6 to 12 month contracts. Cheap packages run $300 to $800 a month and mostly produce reports. Freelancers are anywhere from $50 to $200 an hour. An independent consultant sits in between.
The number that matters isn't the monthly fee. It's what you're paying for. A $2,000 a month retainer that's mostly account management and a PDF is expensive. An audit that tells you exactly what to fix is cheap if you act on it.
The other number nobody mentions is the work that happens outside the SEO invoice — developer hours, content, the time you spend on it. The calculator above counts those. Most pricing pages don't.
03 - Why the price moves
Site size, not business size.
Number of pages, number of locations, e-commerce, and how much is broken.
A five-page tradie site and a 2,000-product store need very different amounts of work. That's the whole difference.
I'll tell you the number after a 20-minute chat and a quick look. No proposals, no decks.
04 - What you're paying for with me
What it costs with me.
My prices are on the pricing page, up front. The calculator above uses them.
05 - FAQ
Cost questions.
Is this estimate accurate?
Close enough to plan with. The "with me" figures are my real prices. The developer, content and tools figures are ranges I see every week. Your number will land inside them unless your site is unusual, and I'll tell you on the call if it is.
Why does the audit cost more than a month of Ongoing SEO?
The audit is a one-off deep look and a written plan. Ongoing SEO is the work that follows it.
Can I skip the audit and just get the monthly?
Ongoing SEO starts after a website build or an audit, so I know what I'm working from.
Do I need all nine things?
Almost nobody does. Most businesses need three or four. The calculator tells you which, and the audit confirms it.
What if the calculator says I should do it myself?
Then do it yourself. The guide is free, it's the same steps I'd follow, and if you get stuck the audit is still here.
