SEO company cost guide

This cost guide is for hiring an SEO company in Des Moines. 12 firms are on the ranked list. The bands below are typical industry estimates. They are not quotes from those firms, and they are not an average of anything on the list.

A firm here may sit inside a band, below it, or above it. The only price that belongs to a named firm is one that firm published, and those are listed separately, copied from the source.

These bands are national typical estimates for the kind of work. They are not an average of Des Moines firms, and this list does not collect one. A firm based in the metro prices the scope you actually send. Ask for that scope in writing.

What moves the number

• Local versus national. One city is a different job from a competitive national term.
• How many locations, and whether each needs its own pages.
• The condition of the site. A replatform is not an SEO retainer.
• How much content is included, and whether digital PR is in the fee.

Compare proposals on the same written scope. A lower monthly number that excludes production, media or the person who does the work is not a lower price.
