How much does SEO cost in Melbourne, FL?
Our SEO engagements run $1,000 to $3,000 a month, depending on the business and what it needs. Engagements run in six-month blocks. A free 15-minute call is usually enough to tell you where you would land.
How long does local SEO take to work?
We work in six-month engagements, because local SEO needs that long to show real results. The first changes usually show up in Google Maps and rankings before they show up as calls. We explain why in Why Local SEO Looks Slow Before It Works.
Do you do SEO for contractors and trades?
Yes. Contractors and home service companies are a large part of our client list, including roofers, pressure cleaners, pool companies and pavers. Our homepage ranks first in Google for “seo for contractors.” See our roofer SEO services for an example.

No. We work across Brevard County, including Palm Bay, Viera, Cocoa Beach, Rockledge and Titusville, and with clients in New Hampshire and South Florida.
