Local SEO services cost between $300 and $2,000 per month for ongoing retainers. One-time project fees typically run $500 to $5,000 depending on scope.
Multi-location businesses pay more. Each location needs its own Google Business Profile work, keyword strategy, and local content, so costs scale with portfolio size.
Flat-fee or project-based pricing can be more predictable than a monthly retainer. Some providers bundle audit, optimization, and content into a fixed 90-day engagement with a defined deliverable.
For restaurant groups specifically, a restaurant marketing agency built around multi-location visibility can deliver clearer results than a generic monthly plan.
