SEO pricing for B2B businesses depends on goals, sales cycles, and the technical complexity of your site. Unlike eCommerce where transactional pages drive direct revenue, B2B SEO often targets higher-value, lower-volume leads and requires investment in content, technical SEO, and account-based amplification. Expect pricing to reflect strategy, implementation capacity, and measurement setup.
For US B2B companies, retainers are most common because long sales cycles demand continuous optimization, content development, and measurement refinement (GA4, server-side tracking, and attribution modeling). When evaluating proposals, map deliverables to revenue impact: organic lead growth, reduction in CAC, and improved funnel conversion are the meaningful metrics.
Typical monthly retainers for B2B SEO in the US fall into broad bands. These are estimates and will vary by agency experience, deliverables, and industry competition:
| Tier | Monthly range (USD) | Core inclusions |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $2,000 - $4,000 | Basic technical fixes, local SEO, limited content |
| Growth | $4,000 - $10,000 | Technical SEO, content strategy, link building, tracking |
| Enterprise | $10,000+ | Custom engineering, content teams, analytics, and attribution |
Example: a US B2B SaaS company with $2M ARR and a $6,000 average deal size might budget $5,000-$8,000/month for SEO aimed at reducing CAC and increasing SQLs. These figures are estimates and depend on market competitiveness and internal bandwidth.
If your B2B stack includes enterprise Shopify/WooCommerce or headless CMS setups, factor in development hours for SEO work. Read more about Prebo Digital’s service mix and how engineering combines with marketing on the services overview.
Evaluate proposals by revenue impact, not tasks. Ask for projected lead volume, expected conversion improvements at each funnel stage, and how attribution will be validated. For background on Prebo Digital’s revenue-focused approach and measurement philosophy, see our about page.
| Layer | Tech | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Client-side | GA4, client GTM | Immediate page events and micro-conversions |
| Server-side | Server GTM, measurement server | Reliable attribution, reduced ad-blocker loss |
| CRM/ETL | HubSpot, custom ETL | Revenue reconciliation and LTV attribution |
Start with a discovery that links SEO work to real funnel metrics: target accounts, SQLs, and closed revenue. Break the funnel into TOF → MOF → BOF and align deliverables to each stage:
For B2B, investing in MOF and BOF often yields faster revenue impact because it focuses on lead qualification and conversion efficiency. Ensure the SEO vendor includes tracking that ties organic sessions to CRM events and revenue. Prebo Digital’s technical-first approach combines server-side tracking and ETL pipelines to reconcile leads with revenue; read our homepage for an overview of that approach: Prebo Digital homepage.
If you’re comparing agencies, request a simple pilot scope (4-8 weeks) that includes a technical audit, a content gap analysis, and initial tracking fixes. A well-scoped pilot reduces risk and clarifies monthly retainer needs.
Note: pricing examples above are estimated US ranges. Actual bids depend on industry competition and the complexity of your sales funnel.
If you want to understand how pricing translates into a structured growth plan, Prebo Digital publishes service-level details and long-term partnership models on our services overview. For teams assessing vendor fit, a short discovery call and a sample audit can clarify scope and cost - more about starting that process is available on our contact page.
Budget for measurement upfront. A $3,000/month SEO retainer without clean attribution can produce vanity metrics; a $6,000 retainer that includes GA4 server-side setup and CRM integration often yields clearer ROI signals. Prioritise proposals that demonstrate how SEO work will lower CAC, increase LTV, and support predictable pipeline growth.
