What local SEO services cost, and what we charge
Local SEO is usually sold by quote, which makes prices hard to compare. Below are the prices published in twelve markets, each with its source and the date we read it, and our two fixed prices beside them.
The audit: $490 once, delivered within 5 working days or refunded, and credited in full against the first month of Complete AI Visibility, $990 a month.

Every question put 3 times to each assistant. Published monthly, free to cite. Claude was asked each question once on 1,755 rankings.
Local SEO for a small business usually costs a few hundred to a few thousand euros or dollars a month, depending on country, provider and scope. Ahrefs found an average of $1,557 a month for local SEO among the providers it surveyed. AIGROW charges fixed prices: $490 once for the audit and $990 a month for Complete AI Visibility.
Who this page is for
Owners comparing quotes, and anyone asked to approve a local SEO budget without a reference point.
Owners collecting quotes
You have two or three proposals in different shapes, one monthly, one per project, one by the hour, and need a way to put them side by side.
Marketing leads with a budget to defend
You need a published range with a source and a date, not an agency’s word for what the market charges.
Businesses already paying
You pay a retainer today and want to know whether the amount is in line with the market and what it should include.
Not for you if
You need a quote for a national or international SEO campaign. The prices here are for local businesses, mostly with one location.
What a local SEO price usually covers
The line items most quotes are built from. Ask which of them a quote covers before comparing totals.
Google Business Profile work
Setting up or cleaning up the profile, then posts, photos, review replies, and hours and services kept current.
Citations
Your name, address and phone number made consistent on the directories in your country, often priced as a one-off clean-up plus upkeep.
Work on your site
Location pages, service pages and structured data, priced per page or included in a retainer.
Reviews
A way to ask customers for reviews and to answer them, sometimes as software billed on top.
Reporting
Rankings, calls and visits from the profile, usually monthly. Ask what is measured and where the numbers come from.
The audit
A one-off review at the start, sometimes free, sometimes charged and credited against the first months.
What it costs, when it arrives
Two things can be bought today, each from one field and a card. Neither needs an account or a call, and neither promises a first place or a ranking in any assistant.
Twenty to forty of your buying questions put to four assistants, every answer recorded with the model and the date, the sources they cite, and the fixes in the order they matter.
Paid once, delivered within 5 working days or refunded, and credited in full against the first month of Complete AI Visibility.
Every month for one site: your Google Business Profile curated, citations in the right directories, structured data, pages and answers written for your customers’ questions, a comparison with three competitors, and a measurement and report against the baseline.
Your plan within 5 working days, the first month of work within 30 days, the report by the 5th of every month, and a reply from us within 1 working day.
A smaller plan for a single local business is planned, with no date yet. Leave your email and we write when it opens: run the free scan, then ask for the report by email under the result.
Only need one job done? The Google profile setup, the listings and a reviews kit are also sold one at a time, from $149, paid once.
See the done-for-you servicesWhat the measurement looks like
A real excerpt from the AIGROW Index, October 2026 edition: the 4 questions below were put to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok, 3 times each. The audit runs the same measurement on twenty to forty of your own buying questions, with your business in the rows.
Dentists in London
- 1Who is the best dentist in London?
- 2I need a dentist in London for a check-up and a cleaning. Which practices would you recommend?
- 3Which dental clinic in London is good for dental implants?
- 4I have a toothache and need an emergency dentist in London. Who should I call?
| Business | In answers | ChatGPT | Claude | Gemini | Grok |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bupa Dental Care | 46% | 67% | 17% | 92% | 8% |
| Harley Street Dental Studio | 21% | · | 8% | 75% | · |
| Smilepod | 21% | · | · | 83% | · |
| Harley Street Dental Clinic | 19% | 50% | 17% | · | 8% |
| Elleven Dental Wellness | 15% | · | · | 58% | · |
In answers: the share of all the answers to this search that named the business. Under each assistant: the same share in that assistant’s answers alone. A dot means it never named the business. 55% of the names came back when the same assistant was asked the same question again.
What makes the price go up or down
The number of locations is the biggest driver: most providers price per location, so a practice with three addresses pays close to three times as much. Competition is the second: a dentist in a capital city needs more work to be seen than a plumber in a small town.
Scope is the third. A quote that includes new pages, review software and a monthly report cannot be compared with one that covers only the profile. The cheapest quotes are often for a one-off setup with nothing after it.
How to read a quote
Ask for the list of tasks done each month and what you receive in writing. Ask what the report measures, and whether the numbers come from your own Google account or from the provider’s tool.
Be wary of guaranteed positions, of long minimum terms for work that has not started, and of review schemes. Google does not sell positions in local results, and fake or incentivised reviews break its rules.
Our prices, and what they cover
We publish two prices. The AI visibility audit costs $490 once, is delivered within 5 working days or refunded, and is credited in full against the first month of Complete AI Visibility.
Complete AI Visibility costs $990 a month for one site: your Google Business Profile curated, citations in the right directories, structured data, pages and answers written for your customers’ questions, a comparison with three competitors, and a monthly measurement and report. Your plan arrives within 5 working days, the first month of work is done within 30 days, and you can cancel any month.
We charge the same figure in euros on the site in European languages and in US dollars on the English site. The market prices are in each market’s own currency, so compare them at the exchange rate of the day.
What others publish as their price
Prices copied from the pages that state them, in the currency they quote, with the publisher and the date. Your market comes first. A range is what the source says it costs, not a quote from us.
