Small business SEO that fits a small-business budget
Big agencies either ignore small businesses or bury them in confusing retainers. We do affordable, local, no-nonsense SEO that gets you found in Google's map pack and AI search — and we're honest about what it actually takes. No contracts, no jargon.

Month-to-month — we earn your business every single month.
-
Work with the strategist
Direct access — no call centers — replies within a business day.
The deck is stacked against small businesses
Big agencies ignore you
National agencies chase enterprise retainers. A local shop with a real budget gets a junior account manager and a template — if they call back at all.
Confusing, padded retainers
Vague deliverables, locked-in 12-month contracts, and reports full of vanity metrics that never tie back to actual calls or customers.
You're invisible where it counts
Your customers search on Google and ask AI for a recommendation. If you're not in the map pack or the answer, a competitor gets the call.
Everything you need — nothing you don't
We focus on the handful of things that actually move the needle for a local small business, and skip the bloated add-ons that pad an agency invoice. One local partner for all of it:
- Google Business Profile optimization (the #1 lever for small business)
- Map-pack & 'near me' rankings in your city
- A review engine that builds trust and rankings together
- On-page SEO for the pages that actually drive calls
- AI search visibility (ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity)
- Plain-English reporting tied to leads — not vanity metrics

Small business SEO: common questions
How much does small business SEO cost?
It's cheaper than most people expect. Our local SEO starts at $499/month for a single location (plus a one-time setup fee that's waived when you build a website with us), and websites start at $697 for unlimited pages. Everything is month-to-month — no long contracts. Many agencies charge $1,500–$5,000/month on 6–12 month commitments, so a small business can get real local SEO with us for a fraction of that.
Is SEO worth it for a small business?
For most local businesses, it's the highest-ROI marketing there is. Unlike ads, which stop the moment you stop paying, SEO compounds — the map-pack ranking, reviews, and content you build keep generating calls month after month. If your customers search 'near me' before they buy (and they do), being the business Google shows is worth far more than it costs.
What's the cheapest way for a small business to start with SEO?
Start with a free audit, then focus on your Google Business Profile — it's free to claim and it's the single biggest driver of local calls. From there, a single-location local SEO plan ($499/month) covers the essentials. You don't need an expensive all-in-one package on day one; we'll tell you exactly where to start and what to skip.
How long does small business SEO take to work?
Most local businesses see early map-pack movement within the first 60–90 days, with momentum compounding from there. Local SEO is faster than national SEO because proximity, your Google Business Profile, and reviews carry so much weight — and those are things we can improve quickly.
Can I do small business SEO myself?
Some of it, yes — claiming your Google Business Profile, asking for reviews, and keeping your hours accurate are all DIY-friendly, and we'll point you to them in the free audit. The parts that take real time and know-how — citations, on-page and technical SEO, content, and AI-search optimization — are where we earn our keep. Plenty of owners start DIY and hand off once it eats their week.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Everything is month-to-month. We'd rather earn your business with results each month than lock you into a contract — and for a small business, that flexibility matters.
