SEO prices 2026: SEO agencies and specialists in Turkey that publicly publish their fees (market research)

How was the median calculated? Lowest, middle, and highest fees

Each company’s lowest undiscounted monthly list price was used; prices marked “starting from” were included at the base figure stated on the page. The thirteen entry prices in ascending order are: 8,000, 10,000, 11,000, 12,500, 14,000, 14,900, 15,999, 17,000, 19,900, 20,000, 23,000, 25,000, and 28,000 TL.

• Lowest entry price: 8,000 TL (SEO Uzmanı, Basic SEO)
• Highest entry price: 28,000 TL (Brandaft, base price)
• Median: since the number of values is odd, the middle, or 7th, value: 15,999 TL
• Mean: total 219,299 TL / 13 = approximately 16,869 TL

If the discounted prices had been used for the two companies displaying discounts alongside crossed-out list prices (SEOmodi 9,000 TL, Aora Digital 20,000 TL), the median would have been 14,900 TL. One-month introductory prices were not counted as entry prices. The median was chosen as the main indicator because a single extreme figure affects it less than it affects the mean.

How much work does a monthly SEO fee cover? Keyword and content quantities

SEO package prices become meaningful only when read alongside their scope. For companies stating target keyword or monthly content quantities in their entry packages, the table is as follows:

The OSite, SEOCU.COM, Brandaft, and İstanbul Dijital Pazarlama pages do not list quantities; these companies describe their scope by competition level or categories of work. A package without quantities does not mean less work is included; the quantities simply need to be clarified in the written quote for comparison. Definitions of “keyword” and “content” also differ between companies; the length and type of a content piece should be asked about separately in the quote.

Why do SEO agency fees vary so much in 2026?

Differences are substantial even between the same company’s packages: at Longway Media and Mars Creative, the highest package costs 4 times the entry package; the main factors determining the difference are website size, competition, target region, and type of work. The explanations on the pages in the table show these factors directly:

• Website size: Ertunç Koruç links e-commerce fees to product count; the price is 28,000 TL for 0–250 products and starts from 60,000 TL for over 5,000 products.
• Competition level: SEOCU.COM separates packages by low, medium, and high competition; Garajsoft also states a competition level for each package.
• Local or national targeting: At Longway Media, the package targeting a single city costs 20,000 TL, while the nationwide package costs 40,000 TL.
• E-commerce: At OSite, corporate website SEO costs 12,500 TL and e-commerce SEO 17,500 TL; at Brandaft, the e-commerce range is 30,000–40,000 TL.
• Sector: Brandaft gives separate ranges for healthcare and legal SEO.
• Number of languages: Aora Digital charges separately per language for multilingual SEO (50,000 TL + VAT / month, 20 keywords per language).
• Additional modules: Mars Creative lists an additional +7,500 TL monthly charge for AI visibility; Ahmet Abiç uses a structure where the price increases as modules are added.

In local SEO, the work focuses mainly on Google Business Profile, service pages, and location pages. In national corporate SEO, the content plan and technical infrastructure take priority. In e-commerce, organizing the indexing of thousands of category, product, and filter pages forms the main workload. Since these three types of work differ in time and effort, there is no single “correct price.”

This sample also shows no clear price divide between agencies and individual specialists. The entry prices of two consultants providing services through websites bearing their own names are 14,000 and 14,900 TL; these figures are close to the median of the 13 companies. Differences appear more in scope, communication style, and team size.

VAT, contract terms, and additional fees: The same figure can mean different costs

Even if the monthly figures in two quotes appear identical, VAT, minimum terms, and one-time fees change the total cost. Of the 13 companies examined, 7 explicitly state that prices exclude VAT, 5 do not mention VAT at all, and 1 uses wording that does not clearly indicate whether VAT is included or excluded.

The items to consider when comparing are as follows:

• Minimum term: Mars Creative, Longway Media, and Ertunç Koruç state a minimum working period of 6 months. A 6-month commitment to a 10,000 TL package amounts to 60,000 TL excluding VAT.
• Discounted price: At SEOmodi, the 15,999 TL package is offered at 9,000 TL/month in a short-term promotion; at Aora Digital, two packages display discounted figures alongside crossed-out prices; ask when the discount ends and which fee applies afterward.
• One-time fees: SEOCU.COM states that its 45,500 TL + VAT analysis fee is included in the packages; Ertunç Koruç lists an optional 18,000 TL one-time analysis, while Mars Creative lists a one-time fee starting from 19,500 TL for AI visibility setup.
• Payment period: The SEOCU.COM page has tabs for monthly, 3-month, 6-month, and annual options.

Confirming the VAT rate, invoice type, and expense treatment with an accountant is recommended. The most reliable way to compare quotes is to convert each into “the total amount including VAT over the minimum term.”

Monthly, hourly, and one-time: SEO pricing models

The monthly package is the most common model on Turkish pricing pages; all 13 companies in the table publish monthly fees. In addition, three more models appear on the pages examined:

• One-time work: Analysis, setup, or a single module. Ertunç Koruç lists an 18,000 TL analysis, while Ahmet Abiç lists a one-time fee starting from 4,900 TL for module work without a package.
• Software-supported budget package: SEOLOG’s Starter SEO page describes a monthly payment package for low-competition sectors, including automated keyword research, rank tracking, and automated reports; the price is not stated on the page and is provided by quotation.
• Hourly fees and minimum project budgets: The international agency directory Clutch lists Turkish agencies with minimum project budgets and hourly fee ranges in dollars.

In Clutch’s list of Istanbul SEO companies, as of 07.10.2026, 9 of the first 10 companies show a minimum project budget of 1,000 dollars or more, and one shows 10,000 dollars or more; hourly ranges run from 25–49 dollars to 150–199 dollars. For example, ROIPUBLIC lists a minimum project above 1,000 dollars and an hourly range of 50–99 dollars. These ranges are based on company declarations and are not monthly package prices; Clutch also states on the page that it may receive payment for some placements. For this reason, Clutch data was excluded from the calculation used for the TL table.

Ranking promises and Google’s guide to choosing SEO

In its guide for businesses considering SEO services, Do I need an SEO?, Google gives an explicit warning against ranking promises: “No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.” According to the June 5, 2026 version of the guide, the main warnings are as follows:

• Be cautious of SEOs that promise rankings, claim a “special relationship” with Google, or advertise “priority submission.”
• Choose someone else if an audit promises that its changes will deliver first place in search results.
• Give only read-only access to Search Console during the audit stage.
• Understand that advertising on Google Ads does not affect organic results and that Google does not charge for inclusion in organic results.
• Be cautious of SEO companies sending unsolicited emails, link popularity schemes, and promises to submit your site to thousands of search engines.
• Understand that third-party SEO tools are not evaluated or approved by Google; be cautious of tools claiming to be “Google approved.”

According to the guide, a good time to seek SEO support is before a website redesign or the launch of a new website, allowing the website to be search-engine-friendly from the start. The same guide says that small local businesses can do much of the work themselves and, as a starting point, recommends the SEO starter guide. Onur Freelance is not an official Google support channel; the information in this section is based on Google’s own document. Why ranking promises are unrealistic is discussed in our article on ranking guarantees, while the expected time is covered in the how long it takes to rank higher on Google article.

SEO quote comparison checklist

When deciding between quotes, check whether the following items are documented in each quote before comparing the figures. Part of the list is compiled from questions recommended in Google’s guide, and part from differences found on the pricing pages above.

1. Does the monthly fee include or exclude VAT?
2. What are the minimum working period and early exit conditions?
3. If a promotional price applies, which fee is charged when it ends?
4. How many target keywords or topics will be worked on?
5. How many content pieces will be produced per month; what are their length and type?
6. Which categories of work does technical SEO cover?
7. If link building is included, how will it be done?
8. How often will reports arrive, and which metrics will they include?
9. Will all changes made to the website be shared?
10. How will success be measured, and what should be expected within which timeframe?
11. Are there one-time fees for analysis, setup, or modules?
12. In whose name are the Search Console and Analytics accounts, and what permission level will be used for access?
13. Which tools will be used, and are tool costs included in the fee?
14. Does the quote contain a ranking promise?

In common practice, quotes are often compared by package name and monthly figure. A more reliable method is to put each quote into this fourteen-item table and read matching rows side by side.

Where does Onur Freelance’s price stand in this table?

Onur Freelance’s SEO fee, starting from 9,000 TL per month, is in the lower part of the 8,000–28,000 TL entry price range of the 13 companies examined and below the 15,999 TL median. This position alone does not indicate a better or worse service; comparison is meaningful only when scope is documented in writing.

Local, corporate, and e-commerce SEO all start from 9,000 TL; the exact fee and monthly task list are determined in a written quote after a free preliminary assessment. As a studio based in Maltepe, we have been working since 2019; the process begins with an SEO analysis . The advantages and disadvantages of working with an individual are explained on the freelance SEO specialist page, while options for those who want strategy support only are described on the SEO consulting page.

Method and limitations

The research was conducted on October 7, 2026 by individually opening company pages found through searches for “SEO prices 2026” and similar queries. Prices were read from the pages’ raw text; search engine short answers and third-party compilations were not used as sources.

• Inclusion criterion: The company must state its monthly SEO fee numerically on its own website.
• Excluded: Pages giving only market ranges, packages not stating the period (monthly or one-time), and websites in maintenance mode or returning errors.
• Sample: The 13 companies are those publicly stating their prices; many agencies working by quotation are absent from this table. The results do not represent the entire market.
• Inconsistencies: When two different price statements appeared on a page, explicit package pricing such as a “2026 table” was used, and a note was added. One page’s copyright line read 2016–2024, and no update date was visible.
• Scope: Keyword and content definitions are not standardized between companies; the table does not measure service quality.

Update note

This research uses October 2026 data and is refreshed every 3 months; the next check will take place in January 2027. Companies that change their prices or publish new prices will be reflected in the table in that round.
