## Quick answer

SEO services in Australia commonly range from a few thousand dollars AUD for a focused audit through to ongoing monthly retainers for competitive markets like Melbourne and Sydney. Price should reflect scope, competition and content capacity — not a mystery "page one guarantee".

## Typical bands (indicative, ex GST)

These are directional bands to help budgeting, not fixed public price lists:

- **Audit / roadmap:** often low thousands AUD for a prioritised technical and content baseline. - **Foundation sprint:** mid thousands to low tens of thousands depending on site size. - **Ongoing SEO + AEO:** monthly retainers scaled to content production and competitive difficulty.

City-specific competitive terms (seo agency melbourne, seo agency sydney) usually need longer compounding than niche B2B phrases.

## What cheap SEO packages often skip

Technical cleanup, content quality, redirect planning during redesigns, and honest reporting. If a quote is dramatically below market with guaranteed rankings, treat it as a risk signal.
