Red flags of cheap SEO

SEO with Straight Up Digital typically costs between $250 and $500 per month plus GST for Gold Coast businesses, depending on competition and scope. National and ecommerce SEO costs $1000 to $2500 per month plus GST, and a one-off technical SEO audit is $1499. There are no lock-in contracts.

Packages well under $250 a month usually mean automated reports, recycled content and low quality links. At best nothing happens. At worst your site picks up a penalty that takes months to undo.

Watch for guaranteed rankings, secret methods, no access to your own Google accounts and long lock-in contracts. Ask what is included each month in plain terms: how many pages, how much content, what link building, and who does it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does local SEO cost on the Gold Coast?

Is SEO cheaper on the Gold Coast than Sydney or Brisbane?

Our prices are the same wherever you are. What changes the cost is competition. Ranking a business across Sydney usually takes more work than ranking in one Gold Coast suburb, so it sits higher in the range.

For most local businesses it takes six to twelve months. Competitive industries can take longer. We report on calls and enquiries each month so you can see the return.
