Frequently Asked Questions
What does an SEO consultant do that an agency doesn’t?
An SEO consultant works directly on the account rather than delegating to a rotating junior team, and typically stays involved in strategy, audits, and execution decisions throughout the engagement.
Should I hire an SEO consultant or an SEO agency?
It depends on scope and budget: a consultant fits businesses that want a specialist and direct communication, while an agency fits businesses needing a larger team across many channels at once. A full comparison is covered in the SEO Consultant vs. SEO Agency article.
Do you work as an ongoing consultant or just for one-time audits?
Both. Engagements range from a single audit and roadmap to an ongoing monthly retainer, depending on what the business needs.
Do you consult across multiple industries, or specialize in one?
Across multiple industries. Consulting work spans legal, healthcare, e-commerce, and local business clients, with the strategy calibrated to what each industry and its compliance requirements actually need.
How much does SEO consulting cost?
Independent SEO consultants report an average hourly rate around $171 and an average monthly retainer around $3,250, though pricing varies with experience and scope. Exact pricing for an engagement is set after a discovery call.
Can SEO consulting help with AI search visibility, not just Google?
Yes. AI SEO and AEO strategy, structuring your site and content so it can be found and cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, is part of every consulting engagement.
