Three packages, three prices, nothing behind a form. Local is £497 a month plus VAT, National £997, E-Commerce £1,497. Below is what each one buys, what it leaves out, and when you should keep your money. If the number works, we can skip the call about the number.

- Image alt tag analysis, so your photos count towards rankings instead of dragging the page
- Duplicate content check, so two of your pages are not fighting each other for one spot
- Sitemap creation and analysis, so Google finds every page you paid for
- Mobile responsiveness report, so the site works on the phone your customer is holding
- Load time test and optimisation, so visitors are still there when the page finishes

- Monthly roadmap and action report, so you know what we did, what it did, and what is next

Three times you should not buy SEO from us
You need the phone ringing this month
SEO takes months to pay back. Paid search takes days. We will say so and point you at PPC before we take a deposit for a deadline SEO cannot hit.
Your website cannot turn a visit into an enquiry
Ranking a page nobody enquires through is an expensive way to prove a point. Fix the site first, with us or with anyone else. Here iswhat a website should cost, so you do not overpay for the fix either.
The budget is under £497 a month
Below that we would be selling you a report, not a campaign, and you would notice. Start with the Google Business Profile checklist. It is free, it takes an hour, and it is the best-paid hour in local marketing.
SEO packages by location
The prices above do not change with your postcode. A campaign in Leeds costs what a campaign in Doncaster costs, because the hours are the same. What changes is how far five keywords stretch, and we are specific about that below because it is the commonest reason a package turns out to be the wrong size, and the wrong size costs you either money or months.
- 01
SEO packages in Sheffield
A dense, contested city where distance stops separating you from competitors and prominence decides the map pack. A single-suburb service business fits Local comfortably. Anyone competing city-wide across several services will need National, or the budget runs out before the rankings arrive. SEO in Sheffield.
- 02
SEO packages in Leeds
The most contested market in Yorkshire, with the deepest agency bench. Local does well on neighbourhood and satellite terms (Headingley, Horsforth, Chapel Allerton), where the enquiries are still worth having and the fight is winnable, and less well on city-wide head terms. SEO in Leeds.
- 03
SEO packages in Doncaster
The best value of the four. Competition is lighter, so page one is a realistic six-month target rather than a two-year one, and Local is usually enough to get there. SEO in Doncaster.
- 04
SEO packages across South Yorkshire
If you genuinely work across Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley, five keywords will not cover four towns. We would rather tell you that now than have you find out in month three. SEO in South Yorkshire.
What "affordable SEO" should and should not mean
Affordable should mean the price matches the work and the return. It should not mean cheap, and this industry blurs the two on purpose.
Below roughly £300 a month, nobody is looking at your account by hand. The margin does not allow it. What you get at that level is automated reporting, bulk directory submissions and possibly thin content churned out at volume. It is less a scam than a subscription to the look of activity, and now and then it leaves you with a link profile that costs more to clean up than the campaign cost to run.
Our floor is £497 a month plus VAT because that is where we can do the work properly. If your budget is honestly below it, the right answer is not a smaller package. It is to spend nothing and do the free things yourself. Start with the Google Business Profile checklist: ungated, 26 points, and the highest-return hour in local marketing.
How our prices compare to the UK market
UK SEO retainers run from about £300 to £5,000 a month. Most competent small business work sits between £600 and £1,200, which puts our Local package at the lower end of the competent band. That is mostly because we are in Sheffield rather than Manchester or London, and you are not paying for a city-centre lease.
The comparison that works is not price against price. It is hours against hours. Two agencies quoting £800 a month can be doing twelve hours of work at £65 an hour or four hours at £200, and both are telling the truth. Ask any agency you are weighing up how many hours a month you are buying, who spends them, and how they split between content, technical work and reporting. We published the whole UK market by band, including the levels we choose not to compete at.
Which package is right for you
If you are between two of them, say so on the first call. Selling you the bigger package when the smaller one would do is the easiest money in this industry, and the surest way to lose a client in month seven. We would rather keep you.
- 01
Local, £497/mo
One town, up to five services, a defined customer catchment. Most trades, clinics, salons and independent retailers. Five keywords and five URLs is genuinely enough when the geography is tight, and paying for more would be paying for spare capacity.
- 02
National, £997/mo
A county rather than a town, a specialist service whose buyers are spread across the country, or a professional firm competing on several sector specialisms at once. Ten keywords, ten URLs, weekly profile posts, because at this scale content depth is what wins.
- 03
E-Commerce, £1,497/mo
Anyone selling products online. The page count is an order of magnitude higher and category pages carry the volume rather than product pages, so twenty keywords and five or more new pages a month is the realistic shape. Less than that and the catalogue outgrows the campaign.

The questions people ask about the prices
Why do you publish prices when nobody else does?
We publish prices because "it depends, book a call" wastes your time and ours. Roughly nine in ten enquiries come down to whether the budget is there, and a number on a page settles that in seconds. The people who get in touch after reading this page are the ones we can actually help.
What is the cheapest you will work for?
The cheapest campaign we run is Local, at £497 a month plus VAT after the deposit. Under that we cannot do the work properly, so you would be paying for a report instead of a campaign. If your budget is below it, we will say so and point you at what to do yourself for free.
Why is there a deposit?
The deposit pays for the first month, which is the heaviest: full audit, corrections, keyword and competitor analysis, and the first round of on-page work. After that the monthly figure is the monthly figure. No setup fee is waiting further down the invoice.
Is it cheaper to pay for the year up front?
Yes, paying for the year up front is cheaper: Local saves £967, National £1,967 and E-Commerce £3,967 against the instalment plan. Most clients start on instalments and switch at renewal, once a few months of reports have earned it.
What is not included?
Ad spend, website development beyond on-page SEO changes, and content beyond the landing pages and articles listed in each package are not included. Anything outside the package is quoted before it happens, so nothing turns up on an invoice as a surprise.
Can I change package later?
Yes, you can change package at any point. Most who move go from Local to National once they start selling outside their region. We would rather move you up when the results justify it than sell you National on day one.
