Bruce Clay's own site does not publish agency retainers or packaged service fees for SEO/PPC/content work; it explicitly says pricing is negotiable and asks buyers to request a quote. However, Bruce Clay also publishes that its agency model is a flat monthly retainer, not hourly time-and-materials. Concrete monthly spend figures do appear on The Manifest from client case summaries: one client invests about $5,000/month and another invests $50,000-$200,000/month; these are third-party reported client spends, not official rate cards from Bruce Clay. On Bruce Clay's own site, the only clearly published purchasable prices I found are for self-serve products: SEOToolSet at $24.95/month/project, SEO training at $149/month, and their book at about $45.
