from $1,500.
Strategy, writing, design, development, and search foundations, with 4 to 8 optimized articles included. We agree the page structure, integrations, and launch requirements before work starts.
The starting price is for a focused build. Broader portfolios, additional services, and custom functionality are quoted separately.
Search & ongoing visibility
What do the SEO plans include?
Choose a one-time reset or an ongoing search program. We'll recommend a plan based on what needs fixing and how much ongoing work you need.
01 / A focused reset
Cleanup
$500one-timeFor a business whose search footprint is messy, inconsistent, or overdue for a reset. We audit the website, indexing, tracking, business information, citations, content, technical SEO and conversion paths that apply to the account, then work through the highest-value cleanup issues in priority order.
- Full diagnostic & priority plan
- Website and business-information corrections
- Written findings & verification
One-time engagement followed by a verification pass. Cleanup can be purchased on its own and is also included when a new ongoing account needs foundational correction work.
Talk through this option02 / Consistent progress
Local Growth
$897per monthFor local businesses that want steady improvement in qualified Google and local search visibility. We monitor what is happening, identify the biggest current constraint to rankings, trust and leads, then put the month's work where it has the best chance of making a meaningful difference.
- Technical, on-page & local SEO
- Content and profile work where needed
- Monitoring, implementation & reporting
Month-to-month. We recommend planning for six months because SEO needs enough time to diagnose, implement, measure and adjust, but a six-month commitment is not required.
Talk through this option03 / Broader capacity
Authority Max
$1,500per monthFor businesses in tougher markets, businesses with more moving parts, or companies that want a deeper SEO and authority program. Authority Max uses the same priority-driven model as Local Growth with broader monitoring, more implementation capacity and deeper work on the issues most likely to improve qualified visibility and leads.
- Broader implementation capacity
- Deeper technical & content work
- Local search for up to two locations
Month-to-month. We recommend planning for six months because larger SEO and authority work needs enough time to implement and evaluate, but a six-month commitment is not required.
Talk through this option| Dimension | Cleanup | Local Growth | Authority Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engagement | One-time diagnostic, prioritized corrections, and verification | Ongoing monitoring and prioritized implementation | Ongoing work with broader monitoring and capacity |
| Implementation | Highest-value cleanup issues that we agree to address | Technical, on-page, content, profile, and conversion improvements as justified | Larger architecture work, deeper competitor analysis, and stronger project content when needed |
| Local coverage | Applicable business-information and profile corrections | Local search for the agreed business footprint | Broader local-search work for up to two locations |
| Reporting | Written findings, changes, and remaining issues | Plain-English reporting on work, evidence, and next priorities | The same reporting principles with more work included |
| Fit | A messy or overdue foundation | A local business needing steady improvement | A tougher market or more complex website and search needs |
Local Growth and Authority Max are month-to-month. We recommend planning for six months so there is enough time to diagnose, implement, measure and adjust, but a six-month commitment is not required.
Branding & standalone copy
Are branding and
copywriting included?
Brand identity and standalone copywriting are quoted for the agreed deliverables. Website positioning and copy are already part of a website build. Additional brand assets and work on an existing site are quoted separately.

Colors and type.
Website cost factors
What affects the price of a website?
A focused service website needs a clear offer, project examples and a contact form that works. A broader portfolio can require more interviews, separate service pages, project writing, content migration, and integrations. Those needs determine the quote.
The build includes positioning and website copy. Additional brand assets and standalone writing are quoted separately. Ongoing SEO is separate from a website build; eligible profile work is part of applicable SEO.
Domain registration, hosting, maintenance, licensed assets, and third-party subscriptions have different responsibilities and costs. Your written agreement defines the deliverables, payment terms, and ongoing responsibilities. The starting build price doesn't establish a universal subscription or support allowance.

Questions about working with us
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to commit to six months?
No. Local Growth and Authority Max are month-to-month. We recommend planning for six months to implement, measure, and adjust, but it isn't a required commitment.
How do I choose an SEO plan?
Cleanup is a one-time reset. Local Growth fits most local businesses. Authority Max adds capacity for tougher markets or more complex needs. We'll recommend a plan based on the work your business needs.
Do I need Cleanup first?
Not always. It stands alone, and foundational corrections are included when a new ongoing account needs them. You can also start with Cleanup and discuss ongoing work later.
What if I already have a website?
SEO work can improve the site you have. If a rebuild would be the better investment, we'll explain why. A website build or redesign is priced separately.
How soon will I see results?
Cleanup includes a verification pass. Search movement takes longer and depends on your starting point and competition. We won't promise a ranking or a date we can't control.
Do you work outside Kansas City?
Yes. We're based in Kansas City and work remotely with businesses elsewhere. The work we recommend depends on your business, not your zip code.
