Our approach
The problem with standard SEO packages is that they price the agency's convenience, not your results. A local solicitor competing in one city needs something completely different from a national ecommerce brand targeting 500 product categories. Selling them the same Gold Package serves neither well.
Digitalhound scopes every engagement from scratch. That means a proper audit of where you are, analysis of your competitive landscape, and a strategy built around what will actually move the needle for your specific goals.
"We have never believed that SEO package prices should be set by what is easy to sell. They should reflect what a specific business genuinely needs to grow."
Understanding the variables
A 10-page brochure site and a 50,000-page ecommerce store are entirely different propositions. Crawl architecture, internal linking, duplicate content and indexation challenges all scale with size.
Ranking in a low-competition niche costs less than competing for high-value legal or financial keywords where established domains have spent years building authority.
Sites with existing authority, clean technical foundations and some rankings need less remedial work than those starting from scratch or recovering from a penalty.
Local SEO, national campaigns and international multi-language strategies each carry different scope and resource requirements. The geography shapes the work at every level.
Some sites need minimal new content; others need hundreds of pages of expert, authoritative material to compete. Content is often the largest variable in overall investment.
Aggressive growth targets with shorter timelines require greater resource allocation than a steady, longer-term build. We size the engagement to match the ambition.
Indicative investment
These figures reflect what businesses at different stages and scales typically invest in SEO. They are starting points for a conversation, not fixed prices. Your actual scope will be determined after a proper review of your situation.

Why bespoke beats packages
Off-the-shelf packages are built around what is easy to deliver at scale, not what your business needs. You end up paying for activity that does not move the needle while the things that would make a real difference get left out because they do not fit the template.
Scoping from scratch costs more thought upfront. But it means the resource goes where it will actually produce results, not where it is easiest to report.
Common questions
Within 48 hours of an initial call. We do not send generic pricing sheets. After speaking with you, we review your site, your market and your goals before putting together a specific recommendation.
No. We work on rolling monthly agreements after an initial three-month commitment. The three months gives us enough time to complete the foundational work and start generating meaningful data before we report on progress.
Technical crawl, keyword gap analysis, backlink profile review and competitor benchmarking. The audit forms the basis of your scoped proposal, so we take it seriously rather than treating it as a sales tool.
Yes. We can scope a foundational engagement that builds toward greater investment as results develop. The key is being honest about what a smaller budget can realistically achieve in your market, so expectations are properly set from the start.
Yes. All client work is handled remotely with regular calls and reporting. Our client base spans the UK and internationally. Location is not a factor in the quality of what we deliver.
That depends on your customers' search behaviour. We will tell you honestly on the scoping call if we do not think SEO is the right channel for you at this point. Recommending something that will not work is not something we do.
