Wiideman Consulting Group

• Pricing model: Primarily custom-quoted SEO consulting sold as strategy/audit projects and consulting retainers, plus a separately published SEO Roadmap agency-license product. Evidence points to a hybrid of per-project and retainer billing for client services, with hourly consulting available for one-off sessions.
• Starting price: $1,000+ project minimum
• Typical range: $200-$300 / hr
• Billing: Custom quote; billed as project-based audits/strategies, ongoing consulting retainers, annual or setup+per-account licensing for SEO Roadmap, and one-time hourly consulting.
• Contract terms: SEO Roadmap small-agency option requires a minimum of four accounts; one client review on Clutch describes an ongoing engagement with weekly calls, but no universal contract term was publicly stated.
• Guarantee: Wiideman states that if a client does not see improved search performance, they have 'been known to stay on at our cost until they do.'

Wiideman does publish concrete pricing for some offerings, but not a full public rate card for its main consulting engagements. On the company's own ecosystem, a 2017 interview with founder Steve Wiideman listed an SEO Strategic Plan at $7,995, $9,994 with Paid Search, a DIY program at 3 payments of $166, and a $300 hourly consultation; however, those figures are dated and may no longer be current. On Wiideman's own site, the clearest current published pricing is for the SEO Roadmap Agency License: $16,000/year, or for smaller agencies a $4,000 one-time setup fee plus $250 per account with a four-account minimum. Third-party directories indicate market-facing budget bands rather than guaranteed current prices from the agency itself: Clutch lists a $5,000+ minimum project size and $200-$300/hr average hourly rate, while DesignRush lists a $1,000-$10,000 minimal budget and $300/hr average hourly rate.

A Wiideman Consulting Group engagement appears to start with an audit- and strategy-heavy kickoff, then moves into a shared project-management roadmap where the client’s team implements prioritized technical, content, local-search, and visibility tasks with Wiideman providing guidance, QA, and recurring progress reviews.

1. 1

   Start with an audit and goal-setting call

   Engagements commonly begin with a free or paid audit plus an introductory discussion of the client’s website and goals. Wiideman’s own pages describe a complimentary technical audit and a first-30-days package of research and audits, while a Clutch reviewer said the firm was hired specifically to audit the site before building the SEO strategy.

2. 2

   Research technical, content, keyword, and visibility issues

   In the early phase, Wiideman analyzes the site’s technical setup, content, competitive baseline, keyword opportunities, and broader search visibility. Client reviews describe them auditing a CMS and marketing content, finding key errors, recommending keyword research and operational optimizations, and another review mentions site analysis plus schema recommendations.

3. 3

   Review findings and turn them into a roadmap

   After the analysis, Wiideman presents findings and recommendations in a review session, then loads the work into its SEO Roadmap or the client’s PM system. Their site says this review is handled in a recorded webinar-based conference call and that tasks are organized by discipline with a clear calendar of expectations and events.

4. 4

   Assign prioritized tasks to the client and specialists

   The work is then broken into action lists for implementation by the client’s webmaster, content writer, visibility specialist, and internal stakeholders, rather than Wiideman acting as a pure fulfillment shop. Wiideman’s materials say tasks are assigned by priority and effort level, and the company states clients collaborate with consultants across Technology, Content, Outreach, Social, and Online Reputation.

5. 5

   Run collaborative implementation with recurring check-ins

   Execution appears to happen through a shared project-management workflow with frequent communication and scheduled meetings. Reviews mention biweekly or every-other-week meetings, email and phone communication, and use of tools such as Monday.com, Smartsheet, text messaging, online calendar meetings, and a general project-management tool.

6. 6

   Provide oversight, clarification, and quality assurance as work rolls out

   As tasks are completed, Wiideman stays involved to answer questions, clarify tasks, monitor progress, and QA the implementation. Their SEO Roadmap page explicitly says they stay onboard to provide task clarification, quality assurance, and one-off research requests, and clients report being consistently updated on progress and receiving actionable next steps.
