How much does SEO cost?

Every business owner wants to know straight away exactly how much they will pay for marketing. Are you looking for a single, universal price list for your website? In the digital industry, rigid packages rarely work, and selling off-the-shelf solutions often ends in disappointment.

Paradoxically, the absence of a fixed price list is your greatest advantage. It means that our proposal is always tailored to your capabilities and the current market situation.

Instead of throwing around random figures, we will show you exactly what you are paying for. You will see how a well-thought-out investment translates into real enquiries from customers, not just nice-looking charts.

What affects how much SEO – search engine optimisation of websites – costs?

Wondering why one project requires a budget of around 1500 PLN and another 5000 PLN? The final quote for SEO services is always the result of hard business data. We don’t guess, we analyse facts.

The main factors that determine the final price are:

  • The size and initial condition of your website, including the domain history and technical errors to be fixed.

  • The competitiveness of the industry, because with a large number of rivals more work is needed to break through in the results.

  • The reach of the activities, where local SEO in the Tricity is cheaper than a nationwide campaign.

  • The number of selected keywords and the sales targets assigned to them.

We always start by verifying these elements. This allows us to get the budget exactly right without charging you for unnecessary work.

Billing models (How do you pay for results?)

A well-chosen framework for cooperation is the basis of a healthy business relationship. See how you can settle SEO costs based on agreed goals.

Monthly retainer (Ongoing support for your business)

This is the most popular model of cooperation on the market. It provides ongoing monthly work covering the technical side, content writing and link acquisition. It is intended for companies that expect stability and long-term growth in visibility.

Project-based pricing (We look “under the bonnet”)

This model is based on a one-off fee. It usually applies to an extensive audit of an existing website or comprehensive optimisation of a new website before its launch.

Hybrid model (Flexibility and purpose)

It combines a slightly lower fixed fee with an additional bonus for delivering previously defined business metrics. This may be website traffic or an agreed number of conversions. Such a solution requires us to agree the details with you.

Return on investment, or why it isn’t burning through your budget

We’ll be completely honest with you: SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. Building a strong position in the search engine requires some patience.

Ads in Google Ads bring traffic instantly, but customers disappear the moment you stop paying. Optimisation, on the other hand, allows you to build a lasting, resilient foundation for the whole business.

Well-executed work brings real profit over time. It builds brand equity for years and protects you against constantly rising cost-per-click rates.

What exactly are you paying for? (Our transparency policy)

The “set and forget” approach is the most common cause of frustration among business owners. With us, your money goes towards specific hours of diligent work by specialists.

The full service includes fixing technical errors, preparing valuable content, acquiring high-quality links and detailed reporting. We show you in black and white what was done in a given month.

We also guarantee that there are no hidden costs. Before starting any work, we tell you directly whether separate funds will be needed for the work of an external developer.

Frequently asked questions about SEO prices

  • When will I see the first results? The first movements in visibility usually appear after 2–3 months, while real enquiries from customers generally come after 6–9 months of work.

  • Can a small local business afford SEO? Of course it can. SEO in a local market requires less investment and, with the right strategy, delivers an excellent return on investment.

  • Why doesn’t the agency have one fixed price list on its website? Because every quote depends directly on your goals and starting point. We don’t sell illusions in a box.

How much does local SEO cost in the Tricity and the surrounding area?

The cost of local SEO depends primarily on the competition in a given city. In Gdańsk, more companies compete for the top positions than in Reda or Rumia, which is why the same scope of work may require a different budget. See how we work in individual cities:

  • SEO Gdańsk – the highest competition, a strategy based on district-level keywords,
  • SEO Gdynia – local SEO for service businesses, practices and restaurants,
  • SEO Sopot – SEO for the season, restaurants and hotels,
  • Rumia, Reda and Wejherowo – less competition, usually a lower budget and faster results in Google Maps.

What to look out for when comparing SEO offers

The cheapest offer is rarely the most advantageous. When comparing agency proposals, check:

  • what exactly is included in the price – the number of hours, content, links and the scope of technical work,
  • what the report looks like – whether it shows enquiries from customers, not just rankings,
  • contract length – long notice periods are a risk for you,
  • account ownership – Google Analytics, Search Console and your Google Business Profile should belong to you,
  • promises – a guarantee of first place in Google is a warning sign.

What can be achieved? Examples from our projects

  • Targ Rybny Gdańsk – from a website not indexed in Google to position no. 1 for the phrase “restauracja rybna Gdańsk”.
  • L’Entre Villes Sopot – from visibility only for the brand name to TOP 3 for competitive phrases in Sopot.
  • Konsal Cleaning – more leads in a month than previously in a whole year.

How much do other marketing services cost?

If your website needs rebuilding, it is worth comparing the cost of SEO with the price of a new website. If you need customers straight away, consider a Google Ads campaign – remember that the advertising budget paid to Google is separate from the fee for running the campaign.
