6 Factors That Determine SEO Pricing
1. Level of competition
The same budget doesn't apply to "Istanbul dental clinic" and "Bolu furniture workshop." If big brands and listing sites dominate your target keywords, reaching the same result takes 3–4 times more content and links.
2. Your site's current condition
For a site that loads slowly, isn't mobile-friendly, and has no structured data (schema), the first 2–3 months of SEO go to technical repairs, and that shows up on the invoice. Core Web Vitals issues alone can take months to fix.
3. Content volume
The difference between 2 blog posts a month and 10 blog posts a month translates directly into price. At agencies, a single SEO-optimized article costs between 1,500 and 5,000 ₺; content is the biggest line item in most SEO packages.
4. Local or national?
Local SEO (Google Maps, Business Profile, neighborhood-based keywords) delivers results much faster and cheaper. Aiming to rank nationwide multiplies the budget.
5. Backlink (external link) work
A single link from a quality Turkish news site ranges from 3,000 to 15,000 ₺. That's why packages that include backlinks are noticeably more expensive.
6. Is AI visibility (GEO) included?
In 2026, customers also ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Traditional SEO packages don't measure this. GEO tracking is sold as a separate service for an extra 10,000 ₺+/month, while platform models include it in the plan. We explain the difference in detail in our SEO or GEO? article.
What Should an SEO Package Include? (Checklist)
When evaluating a quote, make sure the following items are included in the package in writing:
- Technical audit and fixes (speed, mobile, crawl errors, sitemap)
- Keyword research and target list
- Monthly content production (the number of pieces should be stated clearly)
- Schema / structured data implementation
- Google Business Profile management (for local businesses)
- Ranking and traffic report (monthly, easy to understand)
- Competitor tracking
- AI visibility (GEO) measurement
5 SEO Offers to Avoid
- "#1 ranking guarantee": Not even Google itself can guarantee that. Anyone who does is either targeting your brand name or relying on short-lived tricks.
- "Full SEO" for 2,000 ₺ a month: With that budget, all you get is an automated tool report; no content or technical work gets done.
- An agency that doesn't report: If you can't see what's being done, don't keep paying.
- Those selling backlink packages: Offers like "500 backlinks for 3,000 ₺" can get your site penalized.
- 12-month commitment, no exit clause: If you don't see concrete progress in the first 3 months (technical score, indexed pages, growth in impressions), you should be able to walk away.
When Does SEO Deliver Results?
- Months 1–2: Technical fixes, content plan, first articles. Little change in rankings.
- Months 3–4: First rankings for long-tail keywords, growing impressions.
- Months 5–8: First page for core keywords, a noticeable lift in organic traffic.
- Months 9–12: Compounding effect; your accumulated content starts attracting traffic on its own.
This timeline is the same whether you work with an agency or a platform; what changes is how many people it takes to do the same work, and at what cost.
How Much Should You Budget for SEO? (ROI Calculation)
A simple formula: Monthly SEO budget ≤ (Monthly target of new customers × Average profit per customer) × 30%
Example: A dental clinic aims for 10 new patients a month, with an average net profit of 6.000 ₺ per patient. An SEO budget of up to 18.000 ₺ per month will comfortably pay for itself by the end of the first year. The advantage of SEO is that, unlike ads, your traffic doesn't suddenly stop when you stop paying.
Agency or Platform?
A full-service agency is the right choice for businesses with budgets above 40.000 ₺/month that want PR, brand strategy, and intensive backlink work. For SMBs that want regular content + technical SEO + AI visibility tracking at a fixed price in the 15.000–25.000 ₺ monthly range, automation platforms are a more predictable option.
Whichever you choose, start by measuring where you stand: our free SEO analysis tool shows your site's technical score, and our GEO analysis tool shows your AI visibility in 1 minute.
