How much does SEO cost in Calgary?

Ask who writes the pages, who checks the service details and who publishes the changes. If you need a developer to implement the recommendations, include that cost in the comparison. An hourly rate is only useful beside an estimate of the hours and a spending limit.

Ask how cover and handover work if your usual contact is unavailable. A business label does not answer that question. At BrainWage, you work directly with us and approve the copy before publication.

Before paying for a standalone audit, ask for an example finding with a page address, evidence and a recommended action. Check whether implementation and a follow-up check are included. If they are separate, get an estimate before deciding whether the audit fits your budget.

Our initial audit is included in a monthly plan. The free website check is a smaller starting point. It flags technical basics for a conversation; it does not replace a review of your business priorities and search data.

Our website rebuild is $1,499 on its own or $999 with a monthly plan. It is a flat price for the existing pages. Custom functionality is quoted separately. The Google Business Profile overhaul is $299 on its own and is included in every monthly plan.

Ask who will own the finished website, domain and hosting account. Keep those ownership terms beside the price when comparing proposals.

Illustrative planning example: three months of our Local SEO fee would total $1,497. That assumes the current monthly price, no separately quoted work and no additional location. It is a spending example, not a recommended commitment or a deadline for results.

Check whether the business can carry that spend if enquiries stay flat. To judge the return, use what is left from each new sale after the cost of delivering it. Our small-business SEO guide walks through base and downside examples.

For ads, ask for a forecast based on your actual services and location. Include the media budget, management fee and landing-page work. Clicks still need to turn into enquiries and sales, so an ad launch cannot promise immediate calls.

For SEO, ask which searches and pages deserve the work. Existing search visibility may make that a sensible investment, but a new page does not come with a date for new business. Our guide to how long local SEO takes separates the checkpoints from the outcome.

A low price is a reason to inspect the scope. It does not prove poor work. A high price does not prove that your site needs a large programme. Ask what will ship, what evidence will be reported and which costs need separate approval.

We charge no setup fee and have no minimum term. You approve content before it is published. Paid advertising, bought ranking links and custom website functions are outside the monthly SEO scope.
