SEO agency FAQ with straight answers before you buy

Because a call adds nothing you cannot read faster. Our prices, scope per plan and contract terms are published on the pricing page, so there is nothing to negotiate or discover. Skipping the sales team also removes a cost layer that large agencies pass on to clients. You see the full scope before you pay, you check out online, and you start the same day. Questions before purchase go to support@agencyseo.com and get a written answer.

There is no long contract. Every plan is month-to-month with no setup fee. You pay for one billing period at a time, and the plan renews each month until you cancel. If you choose annual prepay, you commit to one paid year in exchange for a 20 percent saving, and you can still stop the renewal at any point in that year. There are no 6 or 12 month minimums, which are common elsewhere in the market.

Cancel any time in the panel under billing, with one click and no exit interview. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you already paid for, so your strategist keeps delivering the current month's scope until then. The next charge does not happen. Access you granted stays yours, and you revoke it in the access center in one click. Content and pages we delivered and you paid for remain yours.

Upgrade any time in the panel. The prorated difference for the rest of the current period is charged immediately, and the larger scope starts the same day, so your strategist can plan the extra pages, links and fixes right away. A downgrade takes effect from the next billing period. Until then you keep the scope you paid for. Monthly scope resets at the start of each billing period and unused deliverables do not roll over.

Yes. Annual prepay saves 20 percent on every plan. Small costs 1 200 USD per month billed as 14 400 USD a year, Growth 2 800 USD per month (33 600 USD a year), Scale 6 000 USD per month (72 000 USD a year) and Enterprise 9 600 USD per month (115 200 USD a year). If you cancel an annual plan, renewal stops and your scope continues to the end of the paid year.

Every payment produces an invoice in the panel, available to download once the charge goes through. Invoices list the plan, the billing period and the amount in USD. Add your company name and tax details in billing settings before checkout so they appear on each invoice. Upgrades produce a separate invoice for the prorated difference. Finance teams can be added as panel users to download invoices without seeing the rest of the account.

We do not refund partial periods, except where the law requires it. Cancelling stops the next charge, and the work for the period you already paid for continues to the end of that period, so you receive what you paid for. Because scope is delivered month by month and every item is visible on your deliverables board, you can judge progress before each renewal and stop whenever the work no longer fits.

All plans are billed in USD, whatever country you are in. Your card issuer converts the charge into your local currency at its own rate, and some banks add a foreign transaction fee, so check with your bank if that matters for your budget. Prices on the site are shown before any sales tax or VAT that may apply in your country.

No. One plan covers one workspace, which means one company. If you need more sites, more markets or more output, upgrade the plan instead of buying a second one. Scale covers up to 5 sites and 5 markets, and Enterprise covers up to 10 sites or subfolders and up to 10 markets. An agency or holding company that manages separate brands with separate budgets uses a separate workspace for each company.

We have no sales team, no layers of account managers between you and the people doing the work, and a productized scope that tells everyone what ships each month. Senior strategists own the accounts, and specialists work under them. That structure removes overhead, not seniority. You pay for strategy, fixes, content and links, which you can check item by item on your deliverables board. For market context, read our guide to SEO cost.

Technical fixes often show effect within weeks, once search engines recrawl the corrected pages. Content and links compound over 3 to 6 months, and competitive terms can take longer. From month one, the report shows leading indicators: pages indexed, impressions, positions for priority keywords, AI citations where tracked, and links placed. These tell you whether the program is moving before revenue numbers become meaningful.

No, and you should be careful with anyone who does. Nobody outside the search engine controls rankings. Guarantees push agencies toward risky tactics or toward easy keywords nobody searches for, which look good in a report and earn nothing. We guarantee the scope: what ships each month, listed on your deliverables board. We report revenue, leads and leading indicators honestly, including when something is not working.

The report sits in the panel after each full month. It shows organic revenue and leads where GA4 is connected, non-brand organic traffic, impressions and clicks from Search Console, positions for your priority keywords, AI search citations from Growth up, links placed with their status, and every deliverable shipped. Your strategist adds a written summary with what worked, what did not and the priorities for next month. See the sample report.

The first monthly report appears after the first full month of work. Before that you already see progress: the kickoff roadmap within 5 business days of a complete brief and access, and each deliverable on your board as it moves from draft to published. Your strategist also posts written updates in the thread when something important ships.

Yes, from Growth up. We track whether AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity cite your site for your priority topics (200 checks per month on Growth, 600 on Scale, 1 500 on Enterprise) and do answer engine and generative engine optimization work: clear answer blocks, entity and structured data work, and content that earns citations. Every plan includes AI crawler access rules and llms.txt as part of technical SEO. See AI search optimization.

Small includes the technical groundwork: AI crawler rules in robots.txt, llms.txt and structured data. It does not include citation tracking or AEO and GEO work. If AI search matters to your pipeline, start on Growth or upgrade from Small in the panel. The upgrade charges the prorated difference immediately and the AI search scope starts the same day.

Enter your domain, market, business type and up to 2 competitors. We crawl up to 15 pages and show a health score, the top 3 technical issues, the first 3 keyword gaps with opportunity bands, a traffic upside band and an AI search readiness card. After a free signup with email and a 6-digit code, you unlock the full issue list, full keyword gaps, competitor comparison, a fix roadmap and a crawl of up to 200 pages.

No. The free audit is a one-time demonstration of how we work. Each account gets one full audit, ever, with a PDF report watermarked "Free audit, AgencySEO". Partial results stay at their private link for 30 days. Ongoing work, fixes, content and links come only with a paid plan.
