Calgary SEO Services and Pricing
SEO Services in Calgary
01 · The Approach
Here is our Calgary SEO pricing, up front. Fully managed SEO starts at $300 a month, and every website we build from $499 has SEO built in, so there is no $1,500 retainer. We are based in Edmonton and work with Calgary clients remotely.
Shopping for SEO in Calgary? Many agencies pitch a $1,200 to $3,000 monthly retainer and only show the price after a sales call. Every website we build already includes the SEO foundations that matter: schema markup, clean HTML, fast load times, mobile optimization, internal linking, llms.txt and AI crawler access. After launch, managed SEO starts at $300 a month, because we know exactly what's under the hood.
02 · Pricing
SEO Pricing in Calgary: What You Pay
We publish our prices so you can compare before you talk to anyone.
Foundations: Included in Every Build
From $499. Every website we ship has on-page SEO set up: title tags, meta descriptions, semantic HTML, mobile optimization, fast load times, structured data, llms.txt and internal linking. AEO is included by default. You don't pay extra. See website tiers.
Managed SEO: From $300/month
For sites we built. Monthly on-page optimization, keyword tracking, technical monitoring, content recommendations, local SEO upkeep and a plain monthly report. About one quarter the cost of a typical Calgary SEO retainer. See ongoing SEO details.
AEO Audit: $499 One Time
Have an existing site that nobody finds and ChatGPT can't cite? We score it against 25 AEO criteria and give you a prioritized fix list. No rebuild required. See the AEO method.
03 · What's Included
What Calgary SEO Pricing Includes, and What It Doesn't
The $300 a month covers the work that moves local rankings: page fixes, keyword tracking, technical checks, content ideas, your Google Business Profile, citations and a monthly report. There is no setup fee and no contract.
What costs extra is easy to see. If your current site can't be fixed, a new one starts at $499 with SEO built in. Social media management is $300 a month if you want it. Paid ads are not part of SEO pricing. For a deeper look at what goes into the price, read our guide to what SEO costs. The numbers are the same in Calgary.
04 · Compare
OnePoint vs a Typical SEO Agency in Calgary
Calgary has plenty of capable agencies. This is how the way we work differs from what many of them offer, so you can pick with clear eyes.
| What you get | OnePoint | Many agencies |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Published on this page: managed SEO from $300 a month, websites from $499. | Often a quote after a sales call. Retainers of $1,200 to $3,000 a month are common. |
| Contract | No contract and no setup fee. | Six to twelve month commitments are common. |
| Office | Based in Edmonton, with the same prices for every city, because we have no second office to pay for. | Many Calgary agencies charge more partly to cover their downtown office rent. |
| Who does the work | The person you talk to is the person doing your SEO. | Often an account manager between you and the team. |
| AI search | AEO included: schema, llms.txt and content written to be quoted. | Not always part of the plan yet. |
| Reporting | A plain monthly report: what we did and what moved. | Often a dashboard login with dozens of metrics. |
| Competitors | We won't take on a direct competitor in your local market. | May work with several businesses in the same trade and area. |
05 · Honest About It
Based in Edmonton, and Honest About It
We don't have a Calgary office, and we won't pretend to. Listing a virtual office or a borrowed address just to look local breaks Google's rules for business profiles and can get a listing suspended.
Here is the good news: your Calgary rankings depend on your business, not ours. The map pack looks at your address, your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your website. All of that work happens online. You add us as a manager on your profile, we handle the rest, and you stay the owner. See how we work across the city on our Calgary marketing page.
06 · Local SEO Calgary
What SEO in Calgary Actually Requires
SEO has three layers: technical (does Google understand your site?), on-page (does each page target the right searches?), and off-page (do other credible sites link to you?). The first two should be set up when the site is built. The third builds over time as you publish, partner and get noticed.
Local SEO adds a fourth layer: Calgary signals. That means an optimized Google Business Profile, matching details across local directories, LocalBusiness schema with geo coordinates, and pages for the areas you serve, from the Beltline, Kensington and Inglewood to Bridgeland, Mission and Marda Loop.
Quadrants matter more in Calgary than almost anywhere. Every Calgary address ends in NW, NE, SW or SE, and street numbers repeat in each quadrant, so 10 Ave SW and 10 Ave SE are different places. If one directory drops your quadrant, it points to the wrong part of the city. We make your address match exactly everywhere it appears.
Pick winnable searches first. Broad terms like the city name plus your trade are crowded. Specific searches, like a service plus a neighbourhood or a nearby town such as Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks or Chestermere, are where a well built site usually breaks through first.
07 · Managed SEO
Fully Managed SEO in Calgary
Managed SEO means you do not have to touch a thing. Each month we handle on-page optimization, keyword tracking, technical monitoring, content recommendations and local SEO upkeep, then send you a plain report of what we did and what moved.
If you are comparing agencies, ask each one three things: the monthly price, the work that happens every month, and whether there is a contract. Our answers are on this page.

11 · Who It's For
Who Our Calgary SEO Is For
Businesses that serve people in a specific part of Calgary or the towns around it: clinics, dental and physio offices, trades, auto shops, restaurants, salons, law firms and real estate teams. If most of your customers find you by searching on their phone and calling or booking, local SEO is built for you.
We work with Calgary clients the way we work with most clients anywhere. Discovery is a video call. Reviews happen in shared docs. Approvals come by email. Monthly reports are plain summaries you will actually read. If you prefer the occasional face to face meeting, we are about a three hour drive away and happy to make the trip for larger website builds. It is not required and not part of standard pricing.

Calgary SEO Questions

-
What is included in your Calgary SEO pricing?
Each month: on-page optimization, keyword tracking, technical monitoring, content recommendations, Google Business Profile upkeep, citations and a plain report. Paid ads are not part of SEO pricing.
-
Is your Calgary SEO fully managed?
Yes. Managed SEO is done for you: on-page optimization, keyword tracking, technical monitoring, content recommendations and local SEO upkeep, with a plain report every month. It starts at $300 a month, with no setup fee.
-
Do you have an office in Calgary?
No. We are based in Edmonton and work with Calgary businesses remotely. We will never list a fake Calgary address for ourselves, and your rankings depend on your own address and Google profile, not ours.
-
Do I need an SEO agency in Calgary, or can one in Edmonton do it?
SEO is digital work, so your agency's location doesn't change your rankings. What matters is whether they understand local signals (Google Business Profile, citations, neighbourhood content) and do the work every month. That is what we do from Edmonton.
-
What does Calgary local SEO actually involve?
An optimized Google Business Profile, matching details across local directories (Yelp, BBB, Yellow Pages, Calgary Chamber of Commerce), pages for the areas you serve, LocalBusiness schema with geo coordinates, reviews, and links from Calgary publications and partners.
-
Can you help verify my Google Business Profile in Calgary?
Yes. Google often asks for a short video of your location, signage or tools before it verifies a listing. We write out exactly what to film, you record it on your phone, and we set up the profile properly both before the verification call and after it, so you are not left guessing.
-
Do you work with businesses in Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks and Chestermere?
Yes. Same plan, same price. Each town has its own map results, so we set up your profile and pages for the towns you actually serve.
-
How long does Calgary SEO take to show results?
Most clients see measurable improvement within 3 to 6 months. Specific services and neighbourhood searches are very winnable for a well built site. Broad terms dominated by established sites take longer.
-
Are you available for in-person meetings in Calgary?
Most of our work is remote: video calls, shared docs and email. We are about a three hour drive away, so an occasional in-person meeting is possible for larger projects, but it is not required and not part of standard pricing.
