Google is explicit about this: the three factors Google uses to rank local results are relevance, distance and prominence. Everything below works on the two you can actually move.
QUICK ANSWER
The best SEO service near you is rarely the one closest to your office. Hire for proof of process, transparent pricing, and clear reporting. Kihan Marketing is a Seattle web design and SEO agency serving clients across the US. SEO is scoped to your goals, month to month, with no long term contract. Call (425) 954-3452 for a free proposal within one business day.
Whether you typed seo near me or seo services near me, the intent is the same. You want a partner who feels close, answers the phone, understands your market, and can prove what they did with your budget. None of that actually requires an office within driving distance of yours.
SEO work happens inside your website, your Google Business Profile, Search Console, and analytics. A capable remote team sees exactly what a local one sees. What separates agencies is whether they understand local search itself: map pack rankings, service area pages, review signals, citations, and the city-level keywords your buyers actually type.
This page walks through what a serious SEO engagement includes, what near me pricing looks like across the US market, how to judge quality before you sign anything, and where Kihan Marketing fits if the shoe fits.
The near me test
Ask any agency you are vetting what they rank for in their own market. An SEO company that cannot show its own visibility is asking you to buy something it has not built for itself.
A monthly SEO retainer should never be a black box. Whatever you pay, you should be able to point at concrete work shipped every month and a strategy document that explains why that work was chosen for your market.
If a proposal cannot name specific deliverables for your first 90 days, keep looking. The core components below are what a complete engagement covers, and any of them missing should come with a reason.
Industry surveys of US agencies and freelancers consistently put monthly SEO retainers in a wide band, roughly $500 to $5,000 per month, with most small business engagements landing somewhere between about $1,000 and $3,000. Hourly consulting commonly runs in the range of $75 to $200 per hour. Treat those as orientation, not quotes, because scope and competition move the number.
The structure matters as much as the price. A 12 month contract with vague deliverables protects the agency. A month to month agreement with named deliverables protects you, because the agency has to re-earn the engagement every month.
| Pricing model | Typical market range | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly consulting | Roughly $75 to $200 per hour | Good for audits, hard to scale into steady growth |
| Monthly retainer | Roughly $1,000 to $3,000 per month for most small businesses | Ask exactly what ships each month |
| One-time project | Varies widely by scope | Fixes problems once but does not compound |
| Kihan Marketing SEO | Starts at $1,500 per month | Month to month, no long term contract |
| Kihan Marketing growth package | Starts at $3,000 per month | Larger scope for businesses that want faster momentum |
Pricing red flag
Be wary of any firm quoting a firm price before seeing your site, your market, and your current visibility. Real pricing follows an audit, not a sales script.
The gap between a good SEO firm and a bad one is wide, and the invoices look identical. A short vetting pass catches most problems before they cost you a year of budget. Every item below should be a yes before you commit.
Kihan Marketing is a Seattle web development and SEO agency serving clients across the US. Our strongest case is simple: web design and SEO under one roof. Most SEO problems are partly website problems, and most website projects quietly create SEO problems. One team owning both means fixes ship in days instead of dying in handoffs between your developer and your SEO vendor.
Everything is month to month with no long term contract, and starting prices are published before the first call. SEO is scoped to your goals. Growth packages are scoped to your goals. Website design is scoped to your project. If the work is not earning its keep, you can leave any month, which keeps the pressure exactly where it belongs.
We will not promise a ranking or overnight results, because honest SEO cannot. Expect early movement in weeks and meaningful traction in 60 to 90 days, with the work itemized in your reporting either way.

A remote agency can do everything a local one can, because the work happens inside your website, Google Business Profile, and Search Console. What matters is local search expertise: map pack optimization, reviews, citations, and city-level keyword strategy. Kihan Marketing works from Seattle with clients across the US on exactly this model, and your reporting shows the same data either way.
Industry surveys put most US small business retainers between roughly $1,000 and $3,000 per month, inside a wider band of about $500 to $5,000 depending on market and scope. Kihan Marketing publishes its starting price rather than making you ask: SEO is scoped to your goals, month to month, with no long term contract.
Expect early movement in weeks, things like improved indexation, rising impressions, and gains on lower competition terms. Meaningful traction, meaning rankings and leads you can feel, typically arrives in 60 to 90 days. Anyone promising page one in a week is either targeting keywords nobody searches or telling you what you want to hear.
SEO is scoped to your goals. Growth packages are scoped to your goals. Website design is scoped to your project. Everything is month to month with no long term contract, so the engagement continues only as long as the work earns it. Call (425) 954-3452 and you will have a free proposal within one business day.
Usually together. Site structure, speed, and content quality are ranking inputs, so a rebuild done without SEO in the room tends to create the problems you are paying to fix. Kihan Marketing runs both under one roof, with website design scoped to your project when a rebuild is genuinely warranted. If your current site is good enough to rank, we will say so.
Ask what ships in the first 90 days, who actually does the work, what the reports measure, what the exit terms are, and who owns the site and content if you leave. Ask for their own search visibility as evidence. Walk away from anyone guaranteeing rankings, hiding pricing until the end of a sales call, or requiring a year up front.
SEO takes time, but the contract does not need to lock you in for it. The compounding happens whether or not you are contractually trapped. Month to month simply means the agency has to show progress every month to keep the engagement. A long mandatory contract protects the agency’s revenue, not your results, which is why Kihan Marketing does not use one.
