ThatWare

Model
Custom quote SEO engagements, with evidence of both monthly retainer-style billing and packaged monthly SEO plans.

In addition, their Clutch profile publishes monthly SEO packages, while an older ThatWare PDF shows enterprise SEO tier pricing by budget band.
Typical range
$89–$10,000 USD per project/month (GoodFirms executive interview); corroborating published package/menu figures include $250/mo, $550/mo, and $1,250/mo on Clutch, and an older enterprise SEO budget ladder from $1,000 to $50,000 USD in a ThatWare PDF
