The money question
SEO pricing: what should a Fredericton business pay?
Owners usually raise cost before anything else, so here is a straight reply in Canadian dollars for a single location, with our three plans marked on the scale. Before you sign with anyone, us included, read what Google suggests you ask a would-be SEO.
Below $250
Software, not service
Money at this level tends to pay for a software login and an emailed chart. However, nobody touches your pages, your listing or your questions.
$250 – $550
Where our plans sit
Hands-on monthly effort across profile, pages and listings, then explained in a report you can read over coffee. Our own SEO pricing sits here: Starter $250, Growth $350, Pro $550.
Above $550
Several locations or province-wide reach
This suits chains, franchises and firms chasing clients across New Brunswick. By contrast, a single shop on the north side or downtown seldom needs this level.
All SEO pricing on this page, and across the site, is in Canadian dollars.
Why SEO pricing differs from one firm to the next
Strongest influence first.
- 01 How crowded your field is A piano mover has a few local names to beat. However, a downtown restaurant, or a dentist taking new patients, faces many more, several with years of reviews behind them.
- 02 How far your customers are spread Working one side of the river is simpler than covering the whole city plus Oromocto, New Maryland and Hanwell, each of which deserves its own page.
- 03 Whether you offer French French pages need their own addresses and upkeep. We set up the structure, while the French wording comes from your side or your translator.
- 04 The condition of your site A dated or slow website sometimes needs repairs first. In that case, we quote them as a one-off job, outside the monthly fee.
- 05 Whether paid ads are part of it Google Ads management comes with Pro. However, you pay the ad budget itself directly to Google, not to us.
What fair SEO pricing should include each month
Use this list to judge any provider, us included.
- Real work on your Google Business Profile every month, not just monitoring
- Numbers on calls, messages and bookings alongside rankings
- New or better pages based on what Fredericton customers type
- Behind-the-scenes repairs so Google can crawl every page without tripping
- Accounts and logins that stay in your name
- Someone with a name, not a ticket number, replying to you
When SEO pricing starts to pay back
Quick corrections first, then slower gains that stack up.
-
The first month
Fixing what is plainly wrong
A wrong category, an unverified profile, missing winter hours, an old number on a directory. Because these are simple, putting them right can help within weeks.
-
Around month four
Enough data to judge
By then Google has picked up the new pages, and reviews keep arriving. So the report should show more calls and messages than at the start.
-
At the one-year mark
The fair test
Put a year of fees beside the jobs search produced. If the second number is not bigger, rethink.
Does SEO make sense for your business yet?
Sometimes it does not, and you deserve to know that up front.
A good bet when
- Folks in Greater Fredericton already google the thing you sell
- One extra job or client a month more than covers the plan
- You can allow a few months before deciding
- You have room in your schedule for more work
Probably not worth it when
- Your calendar is already full and you turn jobs away
- Nearly every job arrives through a government contract or a referral
- The phone has to ring by Friday, since paid ads are quicker
- Your customers find you through people they know, never through search
Our SEO pricing promises
Month to month
No long-term contract. Leave whenever the numbers stop adding up.
No ranking promises
Google decides positions, so anyone guaranteeing them is selling, not informing.
Straight reporting
If positions rise but enquiries do not, we will be the first to point it out.
