How our pricing differs from an agency
Many agencies charge a starting fee and a monthly retainer for a team you rarely meet. We work differently, and the table shows how.
| Typical agency | STARC | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting cost | A setup or onboarding fee is common | No setup fee |
| Who does the work | An account manager, with junior staff behind them | The specialists you speak to |
| How the work is measured | Hours and a list of deliverables | Results: rankings, calls and leads |
| Reporting | Dashboards full of metrics | A plain-language report on what moved and what it brought in |
| Contract | Often a 6 to 12 month term | Month to month |
| Overheads in the price | Offices, sales teams and management | None, so the fee pays for the work |
What you get with STARC
An itemised list of what’s included and when it happens. Nothing here is billed as a setup fee.

Questions people ask before they hire us
Straight answers on cost, working with freelancers and what to expect. Something missing? Ask us directly.
Ask us a question →How much does SEO cost for a small business?
It depends on how many keywords and pages we work on and how competitive your market is, so we scope it after your free audit instead of quoting a number up front. There is no setup fee, and you pay month to month. Plans are sized by keywords, from a single service in one location to a large online store. See how SEO plans are sized →
Is a freelance SEO expert better than an SEO agency?
For most small and mid-sized businesses, yes. You work directly with the person doing the SEO, without an account manager in between, and you pay for the work and not for agency overheads. An agency can suit a business that needs a large team across many countries at once.
What is it like working with freelance experts instead of an agency?
You deal with the specialists themselves. We are experienced practitioners who do this work ourselves, so the person who plans your SEO or ads is the person who builds and checks them. We agree the plan with you, share a plain-language report each month, and you can ask us anything directly. Meet the team →
Why is your pricing lower than an agency's?
Agencies build offices, sales teams and management into their fees. We work as freelancers, so none of that is in the price. Our work and reports are tied to results such as rankings, calls and leads, and not to hours or a fixed bundle of deliverables.
Do you charge setup fees or tie clients into long contracts?
No setup or onboarding fee, and no long lock-in. We work month to month. SEO usually needs a few months to show results, so we suggest at least six, but the choice is yours.
How long does SEO take to show results?
You can usually see early movement in two to three months, with steadier gains over six to twelve. The pace depends on your website's starting point and your competition. Nobody can honestly guarantee a number one ranking, and we don't.
Can you help my business appear in ChatGPT and Google AI answers?
Yes. AI assistants lean on many of the same signals as Google, so we add clear, answer-first content and structured data, then check whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity mention you. Our guide explains the six steps. Read the ChatGPT guide →
Do you do local SEO for garage door and other home service companies?
Yes. Local SEO covers your Google Business Profile, map-pack ranking, reviews, citations and a page for each service and area you cover. That suits garage door companies, plumbers, electricians, HVAC firms and other businesses that live on “near me” searches and phone calls. Local SEO with STARC →
Can you do SEO and growth work for Shopify and e-commerce stores?
Yes. For Shopify, WooCommerce and custom stores we work on category and product pages, product schema, site speed and buying guides, so sales don't depend only on paid clicks. We can also run Google Shopping and Meta ads alongside the SEO. Explore our services →
What do I get in the free SEO audit?
A report on how your website shows up in Google and in AI assistants like ChatGPT, written in plain language with the quick wins listed first. Enter your website, pick a check, and we email it within one business day. No signup is needed. Run a free audit →
