Straight numbers
How much does SEO cost a Kingston business?
It is the first thing most owners want to know, and plenty of agencies avoid saying. Below are the usual monthly ranges for a business with one location in Kingston, Ontario, in Canadian dollars, with our three plans marked among them.
Below $250
Software, not service
Spending at this level usually buys an automated dashboard. No one is improving your pages, correcting your listing or replying when you have a question.
$250 – $1,500
Where most single locations sit
A real person working on your profile, pages and citations every month, plus a report you can read in five minutes. Our plans are $250, $350 and $550.
Above $1,500
Multi-site and province-wide work
Groups with several branches, or firms chasing high-value clients right across Ontario. A single shop near Princess Street seldom needs this level.
Every amount quoted on these pages is in CAD.
What points you toward one plan or another
Listed from the biggest influence to the smallest.
- 01 How crowded your field is A specialist manufacturer may have two local competitors. A downtown restaurant or a family dentist is up against dozens, many with years of reviews behind them.
- 02 How far your customers travel Serving one neighbourhood is simple. Covering the whole city plus Amherstview, Odessa, Bath and Gananoque means more pages and more upkeep.
- 03 How seasonal your work is A boat tour or a student mover has a few months that matter most. Planning ahead of those months takes more attention than a steady year-round trade.
- 04 What shape your website is in An old or sluggish site may need repair first. That is quoted once, separately from any monthly plan.
- 05 Whether you want paid ads Pro is the plan that manages Google Ads. Google, rather than us, invoices you for the clicks.
What your monthly fee ought to buy
Hold any agency to this list, us included.
- Regular, hands-on attention to your Google Business Profile
- Reports that count calls, bookings and messages, not just rankings
- New pages shaped by what Kingston customers really type
- Technical fixes that keep the site fast and easy for Google to read
- Every account, from Analytics to your profile, owned by you
- Replies to your questions from someone who knows your account
When to expect a return
Some early wins, then gains that build on each other.
-
First month
Fixing what is plainly wrong
A missing category, stale winter hours, an unclaimed listing, an old address on a directory. Clearing these up can help within weeks.
-
Around month four
Enough data to judge
New pages are in Google’s index and fresh reviews are coming in. Calls and messages in your report should be trending upward.
-
After a full year
The fair comparison
Set twelve months of fees against the business search brought in, across every season Kingston throws at you.
Is SEO likely to pay for itself?
Not every business will see it pay off, and it is worth finding out early.
A good bet when
- Kingston-area customers look up your kind of business on Google
- A single new customer would cover a month of fees
- A few months of patience before judging is fine with you
- Your calendar has gaps you would like filled
Probably not when
- You are already fully booked most weeks
- A single client or referral partner keeps you busy year round
- You need calls within days, which ads deliver sooner
- Your clients arrive by personal recommendation and never look you up
What we promise instead
No contract
Billed month by month. Stay only while it earns its keep.
No ranking guarantees
Rankings belong to Google. A promised position is a sales line, not a plan.
Honest reports
If positions improve and enquiries do not, we will be the ones to point it out.
