Questions people ask
How accurate is the seo cost calculator?
It gives a realistic range for work by a UK freelancer or small agency, built from the guide prices the VouchQuote team sets for each option. It cannot see the detail of your project, so treat it as a budget to plan with and get real quotes before you commit.
What are the lowest and highest estimates it can give?
With the simplest answers the estimate starts at £300 per month. With every option at its most demanding it reaches £3,000 per month. Most projects land well inside that.
Does where I live change the price?
Yes, a little. Choose your city and the estimate is scaled by that city’s price index. London is the highest, at 25% above the UK average. Many professionals work remotely, so you are not limited to local prices.
Do I need to sign up to use it?
No. The calculator is free and needs no account or email address. If you then want real quotes, you can post the job free and up to 3 checked professionals reply.
How much does SEO cost per month in the UK?
Most small businesses pay between the low and middle of the range shown above for a monthly retainer. One-off audits are usually a single fixed fee. Be wary of very cheap packages that promise a set number of links.
