SEO Pricing That Makes Sense
Clear SEO Pricing for Business Owners Who Want to Be Found
Many agencies make you schedule a call before sharing pricing. Then they adjust the cost based on what they think you can afford. If your business looks successful, the price goes up. We don’t do that.
At Custer Marketing, you can view our pricing before you reach out. No sales pitch. No guessing. Whether you need help showing up on Google through SEO or want your business included in AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, you’ll see exactly what we offer and what it costs.
That’s how we do business. Simple, transparent, and built around your goals.
Website SEO Audit
FREE
We evaluate how your site performs in Search and AI search and tell you what needs fixed.
Does my business need this?
If you’re not sure how your site is performing or where to start, Yes. This gives you the clarity to move forward. If you already track performance you may have this covered.
Initial Search Engine Set Up
$199
We get your business properly connected to search engines and AI tools with the essential setup steps most agencies overlook.
Does my business need this?
If your business hasn’t been submitted to search engines or you’re not showing up in local search, then yes. If you already rank well this may already be done.
Initial Search Engine Optimization
$799
We fix the core issues holding your site back from showing up in search, from speed and structure to on-page content.
Does my business need this?
If your site is live but you’re barely getting traffic, this gives it the best chance to rank. If you’ve already worked with an SEO expert, you might just need a quarterly checkup instead.
Initial AI Optimization (AIO)
$499
We help your business show up when people ask AI tools for about your industry.
Does my business need this?
If you aren’t appearing in AI tools when people search for your service, AIO is critical. If you’ve already built strong trust signals across directories, reviews, and citations, you may already have good coverage.
Website Design
Starting at $1,499
We build fast, search-ready websites that look great and work across all devices. Clear structure, strong content, and SEO built in.
Does my business need this?
If your site is outdated, slow, or confusing—absolutely. But if your current site is already clean, mobile-friendly, and easy to update, you may just need optimization.
(Final cost depends on scope and pages)
starting at $249
Professional aerial shots of your location or service area. These boost trust and visibility on your site, in search, and in your Google Business Profile.
Does my business need this?
If your physical space or property is part of your brand experience, this makes a strong impression. If you're a digital-only brand or work remotely, you likely don’t need this.
Quarterly Optimization
$499
No monthly fees and no empty promises. We analyze and optimize without confusing search engines or overcharging you. Every three months, we review data, update your site and listings, and optimize for both Google and AI tools like ChatGPT.
Does my business need this?
If your business depends on consistent online visibility, but you don’t want to waste money on constant monthly changes, this is a smart approach.

Custer Marketing Pricing FAQs
Why doesn't Custer Marketing charge monthly like other agencies?
Because most monthly changes aren’t necessary and they can actually confuse search engines. We optimize your site, then check in and adjust every quarter so you're not paying for busywork.
What does the initial SEO setup cover?
The $799 package lays the foundation. It cleans up your site, sets up tools, and makes sure search engines and AI tools understand who you are and what you do. It’s a one-time investment that sets everything else up to work better.
Do I need the quarterly SEO and AIO service?
If your business relies on showing up in search consistently and you want to avoid wasting money on constant changes, yes. If your business rarely changes and already ranks well, you might not need quarterly work.
How do I know which SEO service to pick?
If you're just starting out or your site isn’t showing up, start with the Free Audit or the $199 Search Engine Setup. From there, we’ll help you decide what makes the most sense for your business and budget.
