Big Leap

• Pricing model: Custom quote with both monthly retainer and project-based options; PPC is a hybrid of one-time setup fee plus ongoing monthly management retainer or percentage-of-ad-spend, while SEO/content engagements are described as customized retainers or scoped projects.
• Starting price: $1,000+ project minimum
• Typical range: $5,000-$50,000 / month
• Billing: SEO/content: monthly retainer or scoped project. PPC: one-time setup fee plus monthly management fee of $2,500 minimum per platform or percentage of ad spend, whichever is greater. Some content work is also available à la carte per asset.
• Free trial: Free audit / free quote process is offered on some pages (e.g. free site audit, free AI visibility audit), but no free trial or pilot pricing is published.

Big Leap does publish real pricing guidance on its own site, but it is mostly framed as typical/customized ranges rather than fixed packages. On Big Leap’s SEO pages, both project work and monthly retainers are typically stated at $5,000-$50,000, and Big Leap’s own blog says clients spending at least $5,000-$6,000 per month tend to see the best results. For PPC, Big Leap publishes a more precise model: a one-time setup fee of about $1,500 plus a $2,500 minimum monthly retainer per platform or percentage of ad spend, whichever is greater. Directory figures such as Clutch’s $1,000+ minimum project size and $100-$149/hr average hourly rate are third-party marketplace data, not fixed price cards published by Big Leap.

Big Leap appears to run SEO engagements as a structured, collaborative retainer: they begin by aligning on business goals and target keywords, complete a first-wave research/audit setup, then move into ongoing implementation across technical SEO, content, links, and site updates with regular reporting and review meetings. Customer reviews consistently describe clear communication, organized project management, and monthly or weekly check-ins rather than a one-off deliverable.

1. 1

   Align on goals and strategy

   Engagements start with Big Leap learning the client’s business goals, audience, and priorities, then collaborating on a strategy tied to those goals. Reviews mention planning around the client’s business “why,” agreeing on target keywords during onboarding, and choosing a mix of channels such as SEO, PPC, local listings, or content depending on the need.

2. 2

   Transition to the account team

   After the initial sales or presentation phase, work is handed to an account management team and specialists who become the client’s day-to-day contacts. Reviewers describe this handoff as seamless and note having a lead account manager plus specialists assigned from the start.

3. 3

   Run discovery audits and research

   Early work centers on baseline analysis and setup: keyword research, competitive gap analysis, technical SEO review, website and content audits, analytics audit, and rank tracking setup. One detailed Clutch review lays out Month 1 specifically as seed keyword research, competitive keyword gap analysis, enterprise technical SEO, website audit, web content audit, Google Analytics audit, and rank-tracking setup.

4. 4

   Build the roadmap and priorities

   Using the audit findings, Big Leap turns the analysis into a prioritized action plan and campaign roadmap. Reviews and service pages indicate they define target keywords and use reports or charts to show phases, while the technical SEO page says they provide a prioritized action plan for recommended fixes.

5. 5

   Implement technical, content, and authority work

   After the roadmap is set, Big Leap executes the work across ongoing SEO levers: site audit fixes, on-site optimization, content optimization, blog creation, backlink analysis or outreach, plugin implementation, and support for site transitions or migrations. Reviews show that Months 2+ commonly include site-audit implementation, web and blog content optimization, backlink auditing, guest post prospecting and outreach, CTA audits, and brand-mention monitoring.

6. 6

   Collaborate on approvals and changing needs

   Delivery appears to be collaborative rather than hands-off: clients review work products, ask questions, and adapt monthly deliverables as priorities change. Reviewers describe Big Leap as flexible with scope changes, using shared documents and regular communication to keep both sides aligned.

7. 7

   Report results and refine continuously

   Big Leap then maintains the engagement through frequent check-ins and performance reporting, using keyword rankings, traffic, and related outcomes to guide next steps. Customers repeatedly mention monthly reports, monthly conference calls or in-person meetings, frequent scheduled meetings, and in some cases weekly phone calls.
