QuestionsWhat Perth businesses ask about SEO prices.
How much does SEO cost in Perth?+
We quote to scope, because the honest price depends on your site, your market and how much ground there is to make up. $1,000 including GST every 4 weeks is the lowest we go, and it exists for businesses that genuinely cannot go higher. If our quote lands above your budget we will still work at $1,000, with the scope dialled down to match. Across the wider Perth market you will see quotes from a few hundred dollars a month up into five figures, and in our experience the very low end is usually work resold offshore rather than someone doing it themselves.
Why do you publish your prices?+
Because hiding the number wastes your time and ours. The Perth agency sites we have looked at, including the market leader, put no price on the page at all and ask you to book a call to find one out. Publishing the floor means you can rule us in or out in about ten seconds. If $1,000 every 4 weeks is beyond you right now, you have saved yourself the call and we have saved ourselves the pitch.
Do your prices include GST?+
Yes. Every price on this page includes GST, so the number you see is the number you pay. Retainers are billed every 4 weeks, with the invoice issued at the start of the period it covers on 14-day terms.
What happens if I want to stop?+
A standalone SEO retainer is rolling, with no lock-in. You give 30 days written notice, and an email counts. Services are payable in full through the notice period. There is also a cancellation fee equal to one further billing cycle's retainer, invoiced at the end of the notice period, and part-cycles are not refunded. We would rather you read that here than find it in our services agreement after signing.
How long before SEO actually works?+
We will not put a date on a ranking, because nobody honestly can. What we can show you is
what our own work has produced: Fridgy Australia at 536% organic session growth and 285% organic purchase growth year on year, ETA Training at a 157% increase in organic key events, and Greenerscapes at 282% organic click growth. Technical and metadata fixes can move within weeks. Content and authority take considerably longer. You get a report within five business days of the end of every cycle either way, so you are never guessing.What is the cheapest amount worth spending on SEO?+
Ours is $1,000 including GST every 4 weeks. That is the lowest we go, and it is there for businesses that genuinely cannot go higher rather than as an opening position. At that number the scope is tight and we tell you exactly what is in it, but it is still built to earn its money back. Below roughly $1,000 there is not enough time to do technical work, build a page and report on it honestly, so what gets sold instead is a report and very little else. If that is where you are, take the
free audit and action the findings yourself.Do you do one-off SEO projects, or is it retainer only?+
Both, but they are priced separately. A website launch and SEO migration, meaning redirect mapping, go-live indexation and technical search setup, is a one-off quote and is never folded into a retainer cycle. So is a website build. Ongoing SEO is a retainer because the work is cumulative and a single cycle of it does very little.
What is not included in an SEO retainer?+
Paid advertising and conversion tracking setup, which sit with Kobi as a separate engagement.
Web design or development changes to the site itself, unless separately quoted. Website launch and migration support. Content beyond your scope's stated allowance. Large-scale link building and digital PR. Photography, video and copywriting outside SEO content. Anything outside your scope is quoted and agreed in writing before it starts.Can I start at $1,000 and increase later?+
Yes. What a larger budget buys is pace and reach: more pages built per cycle, broader targeting, and weight behind authority work. The people doing the work are the same either way. If your budget sits between two numbers we have discussed, we scope to your number rather than pushing you up.
Do you guarantee first page rankings?+
No, and you should be wary of anyone in Perth who does. Nobody controls Google's ranking systems, so a guarantee is either meaningless or it is quietly attached to terms so uncompetitive that ranking for them changes nothing. What we do commit to is a defined scope of work each cycle, a report within five business days of the cycle ending, and being told the truth when something is not working.
How much should I expect to pay for SEO in Australia?+
Our retainers start at $1,000 including GST per 4-week cycle. That is our floor for a Perth or Western Australian business targeting local terms, and larger sites or more competitive markets are quoted to scope. Elsewhere you will see a very wide spread of quotes, which is why the number on its own tells you almost nothing. What it should always come back to is hours: how many pages get built or rebuilt, how much technical work is genuinely done, and who is doing it. Ask that of every quote you collect, including ours.
How much does SEO cost for a small business like mine?+
Our floor is built for you: $1,000 including GST per cycle, scoped with you before anything starts, and normally built around technical fixes actually implemented, your core service pages built out properly at an agreed pace, structured data, your Google Business Profile, tracking, and a plain English report. What moves your price above the floor is the size of the job rather than the size of your business, so how many service pages you need, how competitive your terms are, the state of the site you already have, and whether you want new content each cycle.
Why is my other SEO quote so much cheaper?+
Usually because it buys fewer hours than you think. SEO is time spent diagnosing, fixing, building and reporting, so when the fee drops below what that time costs, the delivery is what gets cut and the report is what survives. Ask any cheaper quote a simple question: which specific pages will be built or rebuilt this cycle, and who is doing the work. If the answer is vague, you are buying a report. If your budget is under our floor, we would rather you took the free audit and actioned it yourself.
How much does SEO cost per month if billing runs every 4 weeks?+
We do not quote per month, and the difference matters when you compare us with someone who does. Our price is $1,000 including GST per 4-week cycle, billed on a rolling cycle that starts on your start date rather than on the first of the calendar month. A per cycle price and a per calendar month price are not the same unit, so check which one a quote is written in before you put the two numbers side by side. Standalone retainers are rolling with no lock-in, and GST is already in the figure.
Do I have to pay for SEO tools or reporting on top of the retainer?+
No. Our own SEO software, the crawling and rank tracking that runs on it, Search Console and analytics setup, schema work and your reporting all sit inside the cycle fee. You will not be charged a tools surcharge or asked to buy a seat in a third party dashboard to see your own data. What sits outside the retainer is paid advertising and conversion tracking, web design and development, website launch and migration work, content beyond your agreed allowance, and large scale link building or digital PR. Each of those is quoted and agreed in writing before it starts.
How do I know whether SEO will cost me more than it returns?+
Do the sum before you commit. Take what one customer is worth to you including repeat work, multiply it by the share of enquiries you close, and set that against $1,000 including GST per cycle at our floor over the period you are prepared to give the work. That tells you how many extra customers search has to produce before the retainer has paid for itself. We will run the same numbers with you and tell you if the answer is no, because a retainer that cannot pay for itself costs us a reference we would rather keep. If you want the evidence first, take the free audit and read what is actually wrong with your site.
