How much does
SEO actually
cost?
Too many agencies dance around this question. At Bamsh, every price is published. The only reason to invest in SEO is because you want results — so here’s exactly what each package costs, what it includes, and what it delivers.
Transparent pricing.
Clear deliverables.
Real results.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering: how much does SEO actually cost? And more importantly — what exactly am I paying for?
Most agencies dance around the topic, hiding behind vague proposals and month-long “discovery” processes. At Bamsh, every price is published on this page. The only reason to invest in SEO is because you want results — so you deserve to know the cost before you pick up the phone.
No hidden fees. No guesswork. Just real work and real results — delivered by the same in-house team that has generated over one million enquiries for clients across the UK since 2012.
Every price published on this page. No hidden fees. You’ll always know where your money is going and what it’s delivering.
Whether you’re a local tradesperson or a national eCommerce brand, your strategy is built around your goals, competition, and market — not an off-the-shelf package.
From on-page SEO and content to technical fixes, link-building, local map rankings, and AEO — every element that affects your visibility is covered.
Unlike pay-per-click ads that stop the moment you stop paying, SEO builds momentum. Done right, it compounds — working harder for your business over time.
SEO packages & pricing
No guesswork. No jargon. Clear SEO packages designed around where you are today — and where you want to go next. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is included in every tier at no extra cost.
What really drives
SEO costs?
SEO pricing varies for a reason. If you’ve ever been frustrated trying to understand why one agency charges £300/month while another quotes £3,000+, here’s a plain-English explanation of exactly what determines the cost.
Why cheap SEO is
expensive in the long run
You’ve seen the ads: “SEO from £99/month.” Here’s what you’re actually buying — and why it typically costs far more to fix than to do correctly from the start.
The risk of cheap SEO isn’t just that it doesn’t work — it’s that it can actively damage the website’s ability to rank. A Google penalty for spammy links or thin content can take 6 to 12 months to recover from, during which the business loses the organic traffic it had before the cheap SEO started.
A business that spends three months on £99/month SEO and then needs penalty recovery work will typically spend far more than if they had invested in quality SEO from the beginning.
At Bamsh, the starting investment for meaningful SEO results is £799/month. This is what it actually costs to do the work properly — with real keyword research, real content, real link-building, and real reporting. Not because we’re expensive. Because below this level, the work required to generate results cannot realistically be done.
If someone is promising significant SEO results for significantly less, ask them exactly what they’ll be doing each month. The answer will be instructive.
What you get with
every Bamsh SEO package
These are not features reserved for the higher tiers. Every Bamsh SEO client benefits from these regardless of which package they’re on.
Every element of Bamsh SEO is delivered by the in-house team — keyword research, content, technical SEO, and link-building. No mystery freelancers, no overseas outsourcing. The people working on your campaign are the people you speak to.
If Bamsh is working with a Bristol solicitor on SEO, no other solicitor in Bristol will be taken on as an SEO client. Every strategy is built entirely around your success — with no conflict of interest. Most agencies will work with your competitors. Bamsh won’t.
Answer Engine Optimisation — ensuring your business is cited by ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity — is included in every tier at no extra cost. As AI search becomes more dominant, AEO is no longer optional. Learn about AEO →
All packages are rolling monthly. Leave with 30 days’ notice at any time. SEO compounds over time, so clients who stay for 6 to 12 months see significantly better results — but there is no contractual obligation to continue. Results earn the relationship.
Bamsh is based in Bristol and works with businesses across the UK and internationally. Your location doesn’t limit your strategy. What limits growth is the strategy itself — not the agency’s postcode.
Every SEO engagement starts with a free strategy consultation — to understand where the business is today, where it wants to go, and whether SEO is the right tool to get there. Bamsh will say so honestly if it isn’t. Book a free call →
What about AI
& Answer Engine
Optimisation?
Search is changing faster than at any point in the past decade. Google AI Overviews now appear at the top of results for millions of queries. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are becoming the first port of call for an increasing number of searches. The question is no longer just “does your business rank on Google?” — it’s “is your business the answer these AI tools give?”
That’s what Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) addresses. It involves structuring content, schema markup, and FAQ data so that AI search tools can parse and cite your business as the authoritative answer to relevant questions.
The good news: AEO is included within every Bamsh SEO package at no extra cost. The same structured content and schema markup that helps Google rank a page also helps AI tools cite it. They are inseparable disciplines — which is why Bamsh does both together.
Every Bamsh SEO campaign includes FAQPage, LocalBusiness, Service, and BreadcrumbList schema as standard — the structured data that helps both Google and AI tools understand and prioritise your content.
Content is written to directly answer the questions your customers ask — not just to target keywords. This answer-first structure is what gets businesses cited in AI Overviews and AI-generated answers.
Speakable schema markup is applied to the most important content sections — signalling to Google and voice assistants exactly which parts of the page are authoritative answers to specific queries.
AEO is not an add-on at Bamsh. It’s part of every SEO campaign from Local Launch to National/Enterprise — because ignoring AI search visibility in 2025 is like ignoring mobile optimisation in 2015.
