One of the questions we are often asked by small service area businesses in North Carolina is how much should I budget for digital marketing and SEO. The problem is that it isn't a black and white answer. As much as you may not want to hear what I am about to say, it depends.

Search engines such as Google, Bing, and Duck Duck go continue to evolve, often using artificial intelligence in their algorithms. Therefore so do the approaches that an agency such as Cube Creative Design uses. There isn't a one size fits all approach for every small business. Your small business is unique, and so should your SEO and digital marketing.

But like I said, that is a starting point as determining your objectives, an evaluation of your current website (if you have one), and your short-term and long-term goals will ultimately determine the price.

Just as your small business is different, differing industries will also have different needs. Here are some examples of the niches we cater to and how their needs differ.

If you're on a budget, you're undoubtedly wondering how much does local SEO will cost?
