SEO & Content Pricing for UK Trades

SEO in the UK costs £500 to £1,500 a month for a local business, and most agencies quote more for national work. Social Gravity’s plans are £584 plus VAT a month for Basic Local SEO, £1,000 for SEO & Content Marketing and £1,669 for Aggressive SEO. There is no setup fee, hosting is included, and every plan carries a 90-day ROI guarantee.

Basic covers one area: Google Business Profile setup, 30 or more directory listings, major ranking and speed fixes, 3 pieces of local content and 1 new landing page a month, plus a monthly report. SEO & Content Marketing covers 4 areas and adds monthly Google Business Profile posting, 5 pieces of content with a strategy, 2 to 3 landing pages, 2 to 3 guest posts, live reporting and a dedicated strategist with a monthly call. Aggressive covers the whole UK with 15 pieces of content, 4 to 6 pages, 100 or more directories, 5 or more premium guest posts and a full backlink strategy.

Prices vary because agencies include different amounts of work. A £200 a month plan usually buys a report and a few tweaks, with no content, no links and no landing pages, so rankings barely move. Social Gravity’s plans start at £584 plus VAT because content, technical fixes, listings and reporting are all inside the fee, and the 90-day ROI guarantee means you are covered if it does not work.

Most trades see noticeable movement in 12 to 16 weeks, and local searches often move sooner. Quick wins like Google Business Profile optimisation and on-page fixes start working in the first month, while content and links build over the following months. Our clients typically see steady growth in calls, clicks and rankings within the first 90 days.

Both work, and they do different jobs. Google Ads brings calls from day one and stops the moment you stop paying. SEO takes 3 to 4 months to build and then keeps bringing in calls without a per-click cost. Most trades we work with run Ads for immediate jobs and SEO for the long-term flow, which is why our Full Service Marketing plans combine the two.

There is no contract. Every plan is monthly rolling and you can cancel with one month’s notice. We recommend giving it at least 3 to 6 months, because SEO compounds and the biggest gains usually arrive after the third month.

Yes. Every plan comes with a 90-day ROI guarantee: if your rankings or leads have not improved within 90 days, we keep working for free until they do. The guarantee applies to all three plans.

Yes. AI answer engines pull from the same things Google rewards: clear service pages, real reviews, consistent listings and content that answers the questions homeowners ask. Every plan builds those, and the AI SEO optimisation line in each plan covers the structured content and keyword work that gets a trade quoted in AI answers as well as ranked in Google.
