A monthly base fee — even when no eligible leads are recorded.
This pay-for-performance SEO model has a monthly base fee. For service businesses, the previous month’s eligible lead count determines the next month’s rate.
These service-business tiers rise to the standard $2,500 monthly SEO rate. Your agreement explains how we verify monthly counts and when pricing changes take effect.
For online stores, ecommerce SEO services use a separate pricing structure based on attributable organic sales or other agreed outcomes. Milestones reflect your store’s order values, margins, and tracking setup.
Eligible tracked calls and estimate forms.
SEO for service businesses measures eligible tracked calls and estimate forms from Google organic search or Google Maps. The service agreement defines attribution and which inquiries count.
Results-based SEO needs consistent measurement and clear records. Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Search Console, and call tracking support clear performance reporting, with important website actions measured through conversion tracking.
What’s included?
Qualifying new clients receive a custom website with no separate upfront design charge. Hosting is included while services remain active, and the agreement explains website scope, ownership, support, and any additional costs.

Performance-based SEO, answered plainly.
Performance-based SEO links fees to agreed outcomes such as eligible leads or attributable sales. This program uses a paid starting tier, with increases tied to defined milestones.
A fixed retainer generally stays the same regardless of monthly results. This program connects the service-business rate to the previous month’s eligible leads.
Qualifying clients pay no separate upfront website design fee. Hosting, ownership, support, and any extra work follow the service agreement.
Results use the agreed attribution rules and tracking setup. Reports show the eligible leads or sales used to assess pricing milestones.
Some changes can register quickly, while others take months, as Google’s SEO guidance explains. Rankings, leads, and sales have no guaranteed timeline.
