How Much Does SEO Cost for Builders in the UK? (Realistic Prices + ROI)
What builder SEO costs in 2026, what you actually get, and how to judge if it will pay for itself.
LIVE SEARCH EXAMPLE
SEO pricing for builders is all over the place — because the scope is all over the place.
Here’s a realistic way to think about it.
Typical price ranges (UK)
- One-off tune-up: £199–£750
- Local SEO monthly: £400–£1,500+/mo
- Full service (content + links + technical): £1,000–£3,000+/mo
What you should expect in month 1
- fix titles/headings
- improve service pages
- sort internal links
- set up tracking (calls + forms)
- Google Business Profile tidy-up
How to calculate ROI (simple)
If one job is worth £3,000 profit (or even £1,000), and SEO brings you 2 extra jobs/month, it’s paid.
The real question is: will the work happen?
Red flags
- no plan for service pages + location pages
- “we’ll build 500 links” (spam)
- no reporting on calls/forms
