Every engagement
No hand-offs to junior staff. The person who finds the problem is the person who guides the fix.
Every recommendation is backed by data from your own Search Console, analytics, crawls and logs.
Fixes arrive as clear tickets with acceptance criteria, so your team or agency can ship them safely.
I sign NDAs before receiving data and only ask for the access the work actually needs.
Calls scheduled in US Eastern, US Pacific and UK business hours.
Retainers move to month-to-month after the first three months. Audits and projects are fixed-scope.
How pricing works
Starting prices cover most small and mid-sized sites. Your fixed quote depends on four things.
A 50-page site and a 50,000-URL store need very different depth of analysis.
Custom builds, headless setups, multiple languages or stores add investigation time.
Active traffic losses and launch deadlines may need faster, more intensive work.
Advice only, or hands-on implementation with your team, changes the scope.
Independent SEO consultants in the US typically charge around $100–$200 per hour, and monthly SEO retainers commonly fall between $2,500 and $8,000 for established businesses. Technical SEO audits for ecommerce sites usually range from $2,500 to $7,500, with enterprise audits often above $10,000. Local SEO retainers average roughly $1,500 per month, with multi-location programs typically $2,000–$5,000. My starting prices sit within these ranges, with a senior consultant leading every engagement.

Because the work depends on your site. A small service site and a 50,000-URL ecommerce store need very different depth. After a free 30-minute call you get a fixed quote, so there are no surprises.
Yes. Most clients start with a Forensic SEO Audit. You keep the full fix plan whether or not we continue working together, and your team can implement it on its own.
Audits and recovery projects are fixed-scope. Growth Retainers start with three months, because that is the minimum time to show meaningful progress, then continue month-to-month.
Yes. I work with companies across the United States and the United Kingdom, with calls in US Eastern, US Pacific and UK business hours.
