What affects the price
Six things that shape your quote.
Two businesses can need very different amounts of work. These are the factors that decide where yours lands.
How competitive your market is
Ranking a Cochrane café takes less work than ranking a Calgary law firm. Competition sets how much content and authority it takes to move.
Locations and services
One location and three services is a different job from five locations and twenty services, each needing pages, listings and reviews.
The state of your site
A fast, well-built site lets the budget go into growth. A slow or broken one needs fixing first, sometimes as a one-off project.
How much content you need
Content is usually the biggest variable. Some businesses need a few strong pages; others need a steady flow of guides and articles.
Links and digital PR
Earning links and mentions takes real outreach time. It matters more in competitive markets, and for showing up in AI answers.
What your team does in-house
If you write your own content or have a developer, I focus on strategy and the parts you can’t do, which keeps the monthly cost down.
How it compares
Senior SEO without agency overhead.
As a rough guide, independent SEOs and agencies in Canada often charge $75 to $250 an hour, and retainers commonly run from about $1,000 to $10,000 a month. Much of that pays for account managers, sales teams and offices.
Glenbow Ranch SEO is one senior strategist with 15+ years in search. There's no layer of staff to fund, so retainers can start at $200 a month and grow only when the work does.
How to compare SEO quotesAffordable, not cheap
Signs an SEO deal is too cheap to be real
- Guaranteed rankings or "page one in 30 days"
- Packages of hundreds of links or directory submissions
- Reports you can’t trace back to real work
- Long lock-in contracts and cancellation fees
- No access to your own analytics, Search Console or listings
- Nobody can tell you who is actually doing the work
Cheap SEO usually costs more later, in lost rankings and clean-up work.
Pricing questions
Straight answers about cost.
How much does SEO cost in Alberta?
As a rough guide, independent SEOs and agencies in Canada often charge $75 to $250 an hour, and monthly retainers commonly run from about $1,000 to $10,000 depending on scope and competition. My SEO and AEO retainers start at $200 a month plus tax.
What do I get for $200 a month?
The essentials: SEO reporting with a custom KPI dashboard, content updates and on-page improvements, and an eye on your technical health. As hours increase, the work expands into technical fixes, new pages, content, links and AI search visibility.
Do you offer fixed SEO packages?
No. Every retainer is scoped to your goals, and hours can be adjusted each month as your needs change. That way you never pay for a package item you don’t need.
Are there setup fees or long contracts?
No setup fees, and no lock-in. Everything is month-to-month, and changes or cancellation just need 14 days' notice.

Yes. Prices are in Canadian dollars, plus applicable sales tax.
