While I appreciate the thorough breakdown, it's important to recognize that SEO pricing isn't always as straightforward as broad monthly ranges. The reality is that SEO costs depend heavily on the unique situation of each business industry competition, website history, content needs, backlink profile, and local search factors all dramatically shift the strategy (and cost).
For some businesses, solid foundational SEO may be achieved for far less than the upper ranges mentioned, while others in hyper-competitive verticals may require far more aggressive investment.
A blanket $1,500 to $8,500 per month estimate can unintentionally scare off many small businesses that could absolutely benefit from a properly tailored SEO plan at a price point that makes sense for them.
If anyone reading this wants a quick, customized estimate based on their specific business and SEO goals, I recommend using this SEO Cost Calculator to get a much more accurate starting point.
Good SEO is always an investment, but it should be built around your business, not around generic pricing charts.
