Pricing FAQs
How much does local SEO cost for a home service business?
Local SEO for home service businesses commonly ranges from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per month, depending on the provider and competition. With Black Bear Leads it is a one-time $1,000 setup, which includes your website, and then $399 per month, month-to-month. That covers Google Business Profile management, content, review management, AI search optimization, and reporting.
Why is there a setup fee?
The first month involves the heaviest work: building or rebuilding your website, optimizing your Google Business Profile, fixing technical issues, cleaning up listings, and setting up AI search foundations. The setup fee covers that one-time build, so the monthly price can stay low.
Is there a contract?
No. The monthly plan is month-to-month and you can cancel anytime. You keep ownership of your domain and your Google Business Profile no matter what.
What if I already have a website?
If your site is solid and you have access, we optimize it where it is, and you keep your current setup. If it is slow or outdated, the setup fee covers a rebuild. We will give you an honest recommendation on the audit call.
Do I need to pay for ads too?
No. SEO is focused on organic results: the Map Pack, regular Google results, and AI answers, which you do not pay for per click. Some businesses also run ads, and if you want that, Black Bear Leads runs commission-based paid ads where you only pay when a lead becomes a closed job.
