Billing

How billing works

The short version: you choose monthly or yearly billing, nothing is charged to set up, and each service keeps the terms printed in its section.

  • Monthly billing

    You pay at the start of each month. Full SEO, AI SEO and content writing plans are month-to-month with no lock-in: give 30 days' notice and the plan stops. Local SEO, dispensary, kratom, digital PR and listicle retainers have a first term of 90 days, because the work in those plans, and the guarantees on their pages, are measured over that time. After the first 90 days they run month-to-month, and you can stop with 30 days' notice. Store-based plans can also pause or cancel one store or location with 30 days' notice.

  • Yearly billing

    Pay once for 12 months and take 10% off every monthly plan. Starter on yearly billing works out at $2,250 a month, billed as $27,000 at the start of the year. Yearly plans aren't a lock-in either: give 30 days' notice and we refund the months you haven't used, pro-rata. Plans with a first 90-day term keep that term when you pay yearly.

  • No setup fees

    There are no setup fees on any plan, order or audit.

  • Pay-as-you-go orders

    Links and single listicle spots are bought per order, with no retainer and no minimum order. Every link comes with a 12-month replacement guarantee. Technical audits and one-off content are paid once, and pay-as-you-go prices don't change with yearly billing. If you sign up for a monthly plan within 30 days of a technical audit, the audit fee is credited against your first month.

  • Currency

    Prices in US dollars. UK brands are invoiced in pounds at the equivalent rate on the invoice date. Dispensary and kratom plans are billed in US dollars.

  • White-label

    Agencies can resell any of our work under their own brand: SEO retainers, links, listicle spots, digital PR and the rest. White-label is priced on request. Ask about white-label

Cost drivers

What changes the price

Prices are fixed per plan, so the plan you need depends on a few things you already know about your business.

  • How many stores or locations you run

    Local, dispensary and kratom location plans are priced per store, and the per-store price falls as you add stores: a single CBD shop is $1,800 a month, 2 to 10 shops are $1,400 each, and 11 or more start at $1,100 each.

  • How much work goes out each month

    Content plans run from 4 to 16 pieces a month, listicle plans from 10 to 30 placements, and digital PR plans from 5 to 15 followed links on DR 70+ sites.

  • The authority you want

    Links and listicle spots cost more on higher-DR sites, from $120 for a DR 20+ link to $600 for a listicle spot on a DR 80+ site.

  • How many AI prompts you track

    AI SEO plans cover 50, 100 or 250 buyer prompts.

  • The size of your site

    Technical audits are priced by URL count, from $1,500 for up to 500 URLs.

  • Your industry

    Dispensary plans add menu indexing and category pages to the local SEO work, and cost $1,500 per store for 2 to 10 stores against $1,400 for CBD shops.

Not for everyone

Who these plans aren't for

  • Brands that want to make health claims

    We check every page we write for claims before it goes live, and we won't publish them.

  • Anyone who needs page one in a few weeks

    Rankings usually start to move 4 to 12 weeks after work begins.

  • Full SEO budgets under $2,500 a month

    Local SEO from $1,100 per store, content writing from $1,800 a month and links from $120 each cost less. Start with one of those.

  • Buyers who want links from private blog networks

    Every link we place is on a real publisher.

FAQ

Pricing questions

Still have a question?

Email us →

How much does CBD SEO cost?

Our monthly plans cost $1,100 to $14,800 a month, depending on the service. A full SEO retainer is $2,500 (Starter) or $5,800 (Growth) a month, AI SEO is $3,000 to $10,000, and local SEO starts at $1,100 per store. Links cost $120 to $300 each and technical audits start at $1,500.

Why do you publish your prices?

So you can tell whether we fit your budget before you talk to us. Every plan, unit and term is on this page, and the call is for choosing a plan, not for finding out what it costs.

Is there a contract or a minimum term?

It depends on the service. Full SEO, AI SEO and content writing are month-to-month with 30 days' notice. Local SEO, dispensary, kratom, digital PR and listicle retainers have a first term of 90 days, then go month-to-month with 30 days' notice. Links and single listicle spots are per order, and technical audits are one-off.

How does yearly billing work?

You pay for 12 months up front and get 10% off. Starter, for example, is $2,250 a month on yearly billing, invoiced as $27,000 at the start of the year. If you stop before the year ends, give 30 days' notice and we refund the months you haven't used, pro-rata. Plans with a first 90-day term keep it on yearly billing.

Can I buy links or listicle spots without a retainer?

Yes. Links cost $120 to $300 each by DR tier; use the order form on the link building page. Single listicle spots cost $150 to $600 each by DR tier; ask for one through the contact form. Neither needs a retainer.

What's the difference between the full SEO and AI SEO plans?

Full SEO plans grow your Google rankings with content pages, editorial placements and technical fixes. AI SEO plans track 50 to 250 buyer prompts across 6 AI engines, including ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, and work to get your brand named in the answers. Many brands run both.

Are there setup fees?

No. There are no setup fees on any plan, order or audit. Prices are in US dollars, and UK brands are invoiced in pounds at the equivalent rate on the invoice date.

How is white-label priced?

On request, because it depends on which services you resell and how many clients you bring. White-label covers all our work, from SEO retainers to links, listicle spots and digital PR. Ask about white-label
