What does the Local SEO Cost Calculator show?

The calculator estimates a realistic monthly investment range for a local SEO program in South Florida based on four inputs: your industry, your city's competitive level, the number of locations you operate, and whether you want AI search optimization (AEO) included. The result is a range — not a fixed price — because the exact investment depends on your specific competitive situation, current website condition, and goals.

Are the calculator prices guaranteed?

No. The calculator provides an estimate based on typical investment ranges for your inputs. Actual pricing depends on your specific competitive landscape, how many pages need optimization, your current domain authority, and other factors we assess during a free strategy audit. Think of the calculator result as a realistic starting point for your budget planning.

How the Estimate Is Calculated

The calculator uses four variables that are the primary drivers of local SEO investment in South Florida. Each variable affects pricing independently and compounds when combined.

Industry Base Rate

Attorneys have higher base costs because legal keywords are more competitive and higher-value — competitors spend more on SEO, which requires a stronger response. Contractors and medical practices start at a lower base rate because their competitive landscape, while still significant, requires less aggressive link acquisition at entry level.

Market Competition Multiplier

Miami and Fort Lauderdale are 1.5x more expensive to rank in than moderate South Florida markets because competitors have higher review counts, stronger website authority, and are spending more on SEO. Entry markets like smaller Broward or Palm Beach cities can be competitive with a more efficient investment.

Number of Locations

Each location requires its own GBP management, citation building, and local signals. Two to three locations increase the work by approximately 40%. Four or more locations require a full multi-location SEO strategy with location-specific pages, GBP optimization, and review generation for each.

AI Search Optimization (AEO)

AEO adds $750/month to account for the additional work: implementing FAQPage and HowTo schema across service pages, creating and maintaining the llms.txt file, building structured Q&A content, and conducting quarterly AI citation audits. In 2026, this is one of the highest-ROI add-ons available for service businesses with proactive competitors.

What This Estimate Does Not Include

The calculator estimates local SEO management fees only. It does not include Google Ads spend (paid directly to Google), website redesign or development costs, or third-party tool subscriptions. A complete proposal from us will clearly separate management fees from any third-party costs.
