Transparency is at the heart of everything I do, and that includes the cost of SEO.
Businesses often need very different things from SEO, which means the cost can vary, but that shouldn’t mean you have no idea what you might spend.
More details are set out below, but as a quick guide:
Why I don’t offer fixed SEO “packages”
Fixed packages can make SEO pricing simple, but they also assume that every business needs the same combination of SEO activity. In practice, one website may need technical work, while another would benefit far more from content, local search or improving existing pages.
I’ll always talk to you about what can realistically be achieved with SEO, and that will be a really important discussion. But regardless of your budget, the solution I propose will be based around an SEO strategy that addresses your specific needs, not a repetitive checkbox exercise. It will also adapt to changing priorities as time goes on.
A larger budget usually allows us to address more priorities at once. With a smaller budget the level of service is exactly the same, we simply have to be more selective and tackle tasks in order of importance.
Price guide
I hope the information below offers a useful guide to SEO pricing at Mandy Cochrane SEO, but I welcome all enquiries – a no-obligation chat helps to clarify your needs and will lead to a firm SEO proposal with costs clearly set out.
Ongoing SEO support
A pricing guide for clients who retain my ongoing SEO services each month. Actual costs will factor in your site’s needs , your goals and how quickly you would like work to progress.
Smaller/local businesses
At this level, we would normally concentrate on a small number of agreed priorities each month rather than trying to tackle everything at once.
Typically from £345 + VAT per month.
More active or competitive SEO projects
Exact costs depend on the amount of work required, your objectives, competitiveness, the current condition of your site, and how much implementation you would like me to handle.
£500–£1,000+ per month + VAT.

Website copywriting
Quoted by project, depending on the length, complexity and amount of research required. Smaller pages may cost significantly less than in-depth service pages, landing pages or long-form articles.
