Pricing you don’t have to ask for.

Add-on services.

Add-ons attach to a monthly program — layer them in as your Map Pack presence grows.

Hourly rates.

Available standalone when you need an expert on a specific problem rather than a campaign.

Pricing questions, answered straight.

Why is your pricing public when most agencies hide theirs?

Because hidden pricing is a negotiation tactic, and we don’t negotiate against our own clients. The rate card is the rate card — the same one we publish nationally. What varies is which pieces you need, and the free audit settles that before any money moves.

Do you require contracts?

No. Monthly programs run month-to-month, and the one-time packages are exactly that — one-time. If we stop earning the retainer, you stop paying it. That arrangement has kept our average client relationship running for years, which is the only retention scheme we’re interested in.

Is $1,680 a month worth it for a small local business?

Run the math on your own numbers: what’s an average job or patient or closing worth, and how many extra calls a month does the program need to produce to pay for itself? For most service businesses in this metro the break-even is two to four calls. If your category can’t clear that bar, the audit will say so — and we’ll point you at the $749 foundation or the $199 citations instead of a retainer you don’t need.

What determines whether I need the monthly program or just the foundation work?

Competition, mostly. A Madisonville business in a thin category often just needs its data fixed — foundation work, done once, done right. A contractor fighting for the Metairie 3-pack needs the sustained program because the competitors are spending every month too. The diagnostic measures your actual gap and we scope to that.

What about Google Ads budgets — is that included in the $550?

The $550 is management — strategy, build, bidding, negative-keyword pruning, call tracking, and reporting. Your ad spend goes straight to Google in your own ad account, which you own. We don’t mark up media, and you can see every dollar.

Are there setup fees or surprise costs?

No setup fees on monthly programs. The one-time packages are flat. If something genuinely out-of-scope comes up — a site rebuild, a penalty recovery — it gets quoted separately and flat, before any work starts. Surprises on invoices are how agencies lose clients, and we like our clients.

Why charge a monthly retainer instead of billing hourly?

SEO is a compounding investment — technical work done in month one makes the content from month four perform faster, which builds long-term organic equity. Hourly billing rewards padding timesheets; a retainer keeps us focused on shipping outcomes instead.

When will I actually see a return on this?

Legitimate SEO takes 6–12 months to drive compounding traffic. The first three months are technical infrastructure and content strategy, months four through six produce early rank movement, and months six through twelve deliver measurable, compounding lead flow. Anyone promising faster is selling you something that won’t last.

I’ve seen SEO advertised for $299 a month. Why aren’t you that cheap?

At $299 a month an agency can afford one or two hours on your account, full stop. That budget gets filled with thin, automated content or spam link schemes, and Google eventually de-indexes sites built that way — which usually means 6 to 18 months of expensive recovery work to undo. The $199 citations package and the $749 foundation exist precisely so a tight budget doesn’t have to mean cutting those corners.
