Outline Technologies — SEO, AEO & GEO Agency
Pricing

Clear Pricing.
No Mind Games.

We don't play the 'contact us for pricing' game where you sit through a 45 minute sales call before anyone mentions numbers. Here's how our pricing works.

How We Think About Pricing

Let's be honest about something. Pricing in the agency world is a mess. Some agencies charge $500 a month and do essentially nothing. Others charge $20,000 a month and still underdeliver. Price alone doesn't tell you much about quality or results.

What we can tell you is this: our pricing reflects the actual cost of doing the work properly. Real content written by real humans. Custom strategy specific to your business. Technical implementation done right the first time. AI monitoring across multiple platforms. These things cost money because they take time and expertise.

We price our engagements based on scope, not time. You're paying for results and deliverables, not for hours logged. If we finish something faster because we're efficient, that benefits both of us. If something takes longer because it's more complex than expected, we absorb that cost.

What Affects Your Price

Industry Competitiveness

A local bakery and a national SaaS company have very different competitive landscapes. More competitive industries require more content, more link building, and more time to see results.

Current State

If your website has solid technical foundations and some existing authority, we can move faster. If we're building from scratch or fixing years of technical debt, the investment reflects that additional work.

Number of Services

Some clients need just SEO. Others need SEO plus GEO plus content plus web development. More services means more work, but we always look for synergies between them to maximize value.

Content Volume

How much content you need depends on your keyword targets and competitive gap. Some industries need 4 articles a month to compete. Others need 12. We recommend based on data, not arbitrary numbers.

Geographic Scope

Local visibility in one city costs less than national or international visibility across multiple markets. Each target market requires its own keyword research, content, and optimization strategy.

Speed of Results

Want to move faster? More resources can accelerate certain aspects. Adding a dedicated content writer or increasing publishing frequency compresses timelines. We'll tell you honestly what's possible.

FAQ

Pricing Questions

Can I start with a smaller engagement and scale up?+
Absolutely. Many clients start with a Growth tier or a one time audit, see how we work, and then expand. We'd rather earn your trust on a smaller project than oversell you on a large package before we've proven ourselves.
Is there a long term contract?+
Our retainer engagements have a 6 month minimum for Growth and Scale, and 12 months for Authority. This isn't to lock you in. It's because SEO and GEO genuinely require that time to show meaningful results. After the initial period, engagements continue month to month.
What payment methods do you accept?+
Bank transfer and credit card. We invoice monthly in advance. For one time projects, we typically split billing: 50% upfront and 50% on delivery.
Do prices include everything?+
Yes. No hidden fees for tools, software, or reporting. The only potential additions are third party costs like hosting or domain purchases that you'd need regardless of working with us. We flag those upfront so there are never surprise costs.
What if I need something that doesn't fit these tiers?+
These tiers are starting points. Most clients end up with a custom package that's adjusted to their specific situation. Tell us what you need and we'll put together a proposal that makes sense for your goals and budget.
Do you offer discounts for nonprofits or startups?+
We work with select nonprofits and early stage startups at reduced rates when we believe in what they're building. Reach out and tell us about your project. We'll see what we can do.

Not Sure Which Tier?
