Pricing that's actually on the website.
Most SaaS SEO agencies make you sit through a 45-minute discovery call before they'll quote you. We think that's silly, so we don't do it. Here's what we charge, why, and what you actually get.
02 / How we think about pricing
Why our prices are on the website at all.

Pricing · Philosophy · Transparency
The standard agency move is to hide pricing behind a contact form. The argument they'll give you is that "every engagement is custom." The actual reason is that publishing pricing forces an agency to defend its number, and most don't want to.
We publish ours because it filters the conversation. By the time a marketing lead at a 200-person SaaS company books a call with us, they already know our retainers start at $5K/month and scale to around $20K/month. They've already self-selected. We're not having a discovery call to figure out if they can afford us — we're having a strategy call about whether what we do actually fits what they need.
That's a much better first conversation than the one most agencies have.
Where the price points actually land
Our retainers run from $5K to $20K per month depending on scope. The lower end is for SaaS companies that need a focused engagement — usually a single service line like content or link building, or a foundational SEO program for a younger product still finding its category. The upper end is for full-service work across content, links, technical, and digital PR for SaaS companies serious about treating organic as a primary growth channel.
Most of our clients land somewhere between $8K and $14K/month. That's the range where the math starts working hardest — enough scope to see real momentum, not so much that it dwarfs the rest of your marketing budget.
If you need scope larger than $20K/month, you're probably looking at our Enterprise tier, which works differently and is built for SaaS companies above $50M ARR with multi-stakeholder approval cycles and the kind of compliance overhead that needs its own conversation.
03 / What you're paying for
Three things that go into every Technotize retainer.
Senior strategy. Not a junior with a checklist.
The biggest hidden cost in agency SEO is who's actually doing the thinking. A lot of US agencies sell senior strategy on the pitch and then assign your account to a coordinator with eighteen months of experience and a project management template. Every Technotize account is led by a senior strategist who's run SaaS engagements for years — same person on the kickoff call as the one writing the briefs three months in.
04 / The honest answer
Why a $10K Technotize retainer compares to a $25K US agency one.
People ask us this. Usually politely. Sometimes not. Here's the real answer.
The short version: our cost base is different. Roughly 70% of our team is based in Pakistan, with the rest spread across other parts of Asia. Salaries in those markets are a fraction of what comparable senior SEO talent costs in New York or London. We pay our team well by local standards — better than most local agencies, actually — and the math still works out to a retainer that's roughly half of what a US agency charges for the same scope.
What we are not doing: cutting quality, outsourcing to junior staff, recycling templates, or running an offshore content farm. Our writers are senior. Our strategists are senior. Our editorial layer is real. The cost difference is the cost difference. The work isn't.
The reason we mention it directly on the pricing page rather than hoping you don't notice: we'd rather you ask the question and get a real answer than let it sit unanswered in your head while you're deciding whether to book a call.
- Senior strategists leading every account
- SaaS-trained, native-level English writers
- Real editorial review on every piece
- Editor relationships at SaaS publications
- Revenue-tied reporting, not vanity dashboards
What's different
Cost base. That's it.
05 / Worth knowing upfront
A few things we don't include in retainers.
A retainer covers the strategic, content, link-building, and technical work we do for you each month. It does not cover the things below — and finding out about scope exclusions in month three is one of the most annoying things that can happen to a marketing lead.
- Not included
Paid tools licensed to your account.
If you want us using Ahrefs or Clearscope inside your own workspace, you cover those subscriptions. If you're happy for us to work inside ours, you don't.
- Not included
Custom development work on your site.
We'll specify the technical changes that need to happen — meta tag fixes, schema implementation, site structure changes — but if your site needs actual engineering work, that goes to your dev team or a development partner.
- Not included
Paid promotion of content.
We'll write the content. Whether you put paid budget behind distribution is your call and your invoice.
- Not included
Brand and creative work.
We're an SEO agency, not a brand studio. If you need a new visual identity or a brand voice document, we'll happily refer you to people who do that well.
06 / The mechanics
How billing actually works.
- 01 / 03Step
Pick a scope or build a custom one
Once you know roughly what you need, you can either build a custom scope using our cost calculator (coming soon — for now, book a call and we'll scope it together in 20 minutes) or pick from one of our standard packages. You'll see the monthly cost before you commit to anything.
- 02 / 03Step
Subscription set up via Stripe or Wise
Once we've agreed on scope, we'll send you a subscription link via Stripe or Wise. You can pay by card or international bank transfer, and the subscription handles invoicing automatically each month. No chasing invoices. No 'let me re-send that PDF.'
- 03 / 03Step
Month-to-month after the initial term
Most of our engagements run on a 6-month initial term — long enough for SEO to actually start moving — and then continue month-to-month after that. Cancel any time after month six with 30 days' notice. We don't lock anyone into multi-year contracts because we'd rather earn the renewal each month than enforce one.
07 / Pricing questions
What people ask us about pricing.
Five questions we get often enough that they belong on the page itself.
Build a custom scope, or just talk to us first.
If you already know roughly what you need, build a scope and we'll quote it back to you within a business day. If you'd rather talk it through with a person first, book a call. Either way, you'll know the price before there's any pressure to commit to anything.
