SEO
3Quick Read
The Cost of SEO in Greece in 2026 is 400€ to 5000€ per month with marketing companies and freelancers. The final amount of the campaign depends on the range of provided sub-services, their quality, and the client's industry. Additionally, there are SEO services that are charged as a one-time fee. The price for SEO is fixed per month until the plan we have agreed on is completed, and then there is a maintenance fee for content renewal. The steadiness of SEO helps you in budgeting your marketing plan so you can have a predictable cost. Consider that in a structured marketing plan, 10% to 15% of the budget should go to SEO. Of course, you can increase the amount if you want faster results.
Why is SEO so "expensive"?
SEO is so "expensive" because it is the No.2 channel with the highest ROI (return on investment) after Email Marketing, with PPC ads on Google and Meta coming in third. Additionally, its results are Permanent (until someone better comes along).
Finally, the charges are structured this way because many individual tasks need to be done, and it requires extensive expertise to be sure of what works and what doesn't.
If you haven't started SEO yet, the cost is much higher.
You're losing money and degrading your Brand.
When will I see results from SEO?
You'll see traffic results on your site with SEO from the first days. But significant results in your pocket from SEO will be evident in 3 to 6 months. If you want to rank first on a local level, it's easier and faster, but it all depends on the competition.
What are the milestones in SEO?
The milestones in SEO are as follows. You will see an increase in Google every month (1 month is also enough time to fully test someone for SEO). Then, every 3 months, the algorithm updates until we reach the 6-month mark when the first significant results appear.
Finally, every 13 months, there is a complete reset up or down in Google positions based on navboost. Your goal should always be to increase impressions, and clicks will follow.
There are also Google maps in Local SEO, which can give you many sales and traffic if you win the 3-pack.

What are the main SEO Services?
If we categorize the main SEO services, they are the following four. However, each of these Services comprises many Sub-Categories of services.
Technical SEO
Research and Selection of suitable Keywords
Creating Content that both Google and AIs love (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, etc.)
SEO Audits at the Beginning and monthly SEO Reports
What do SEO results depend on?
SEO results depend and are influenced by many factors. Most are unknown, and the most critical ones are as follows:
Language
Region
Existing Traffic
Number of Featured Snippets
Competition in the Client's Industry
Company's or freelancer's Expertise
The goals you have set (e.g., Time, Money)
Your Website/Application's build quality
What Will You Gain from Doing SEO?
With SEO, you gain money and a stable revenue channel, Google. For example, if your company is an E-shop selling shoes and you rank first for Keywords: Cheap Shoes, Nike Sneakers, Adidas cheap, then you'll see your E-commerce store's Turnover rise.
The logic is simple:
You pay for ads to rank first on Google.
When you stop the ads, you disappear from the top positions.
Why wouldn't you want to rank Permanently in the top Positions?
That's what SEO does on both Google and LLM models.
Besides Money, your Brand gains recognition and credibility. Finally, even though you spent X amount for SEO, after one year, you won't need to spend the same amount (except for content maintenance, because of content decay) like you do with ads.
Practically, this gives you more Profit over time.
SEO Cost-Performance Example
To understand the Cost and Performance of SEO with a real example, we'll look at it backwards. At Zapier, it cost $30,000 to rank for just one keyword and 16 months. Once it reached the top 3 results, it was making $31,000 each month, totaling $372,000 per year. Was it worth it?
How is SEO Connected with ROI?
SEO and ROI (return on investment) are closely connected if you want a successful Brand. The average ROI for SEO ranges from 550% to 1220%, or 12.2x, with an average timeframe of 8 months. [Statistics from Terakeet]
And of course, it doesn't stop there, because your business has just gained a sales channel. With a comprehensive SEO strategy, you can turn that 12.2x into 24.4x, as the Online community connects from Google and YouTube to Meta and TikTok.
Remember, SEO is the way to climb Algorithms.

Frequently Asked Questions about SEO
SEO vs PPC ads
As mentioned earlier, SEO has Duration and Long-Term Depth, unlike PPC ads. It's the best investment you can make for your Business in 2026. We'll write more about SEO vs PPC ads in another article, but you can see what Google officially says.
"SEO is the answer if you want long-term results and PPC ads if you want immediate results." — Google
What they don't tell you is that Google ads can harm your SEO. Yes, you read that right, because beyond your money, Google cares about being reliable to its users.

[Sources for the following Statistical Data: Backlinko, Wordstream]
💡The average CTR of Clicks that the 1st and 2nd Google results get compared to Ads is: 28.5% and 15.7%, respectively, and for the Ads 2%.
I've done SEO for 6 months, can I stop?
No, SEO has steady and scalable performance. This means that if you stop, for example, at 6 months, you'll remain in the top positions for X amount of time, and then your content will start to decay (content decay) and positions will drop.
To prevent decay, you need to "maintain" your content every 13 months. Before the navboost upgrade in 2017, this time was 18 months.
How do I assess an SEO Expert immediately?
If you want to assess an SEO Expert immediately, I have the solution for you, whether it's an Agency or an individual, with a simple and quick tip. Choose a low-volume word and have them create content for you.
If that content ranks on Google's first pages in the coming days (depending on Google's crawl), they know the basics. If it doesn't show up on the first page, they don't even know these fundamentals.
Know that use cases can be "manufactured" with AI, backlinks, and many other techniques, but the actual work, no. There are also tools that show exactly what work is being done and how high-quality it is.
If you don’t know, ask us, and we'll objectively evaluate any work or SEO expert.
Should I buy Backlinks for SEO?
No. Backlinks were one of the initial ways a search engine in 1999 identified if you were credible. Nowadays, backlinks are highly demanding and have little meaning unless in cases of very high competition.
At some point, they were used as an SEO hack, and Google made sure to upgrade the criteria for link evaluation. The old logic was simple, many mention you, so that means you're good too. For 2024, this is not the case, although backlinks remain a ranking factor, just not as strong.
You can read about backlinks here: What are backlinks?
Our team is well-trained in creating links and we do not take them lightly, because we know both the pros and cons.
Should I buy links from platforms like WhitePress?
No, Google, Yahoo, Bing, and generally all search engines have developed ways to "read" where a Link comes from. If the link is paid, it can be considered spam and harm SEO. WhitePress* is a Blog network (an evolution of PBN's) and harms your SEO.
*(mentioned because it is the most well-known network in Greece)
Should I buy packages for SEO?
It depends on what we define as a package in SEO. If it's just paying X amount that someone tells you they're doing SEO, no. If it's a comprehensive strategy where you see progress month by month, then yes.
What isn't SEO?
Let's start with the basics by saying SEO isn't just appearing in the top search results due to longevity. Also, search engine optimization isn't the following.
just writing articles
paying for some package at a fixed monthly rate
buying backlinks with €100 and €200
if you're not seeing monthly progress
if you’re told SEO takes 6 months and you're just waiting to see it
Do you ultimately need SEO for your Website?
Yes, the final verdict is that everyone needs a proper SEO strategy for their Website/Application but fear the Cost. Go ahead and don't be afraid, because without Strategy you’ll just get lost in the thousands of search engine results.
Every day, 252,000 new Websites are created, and there are a total of 2,008,219,978; you can see the statistics here.
How do you think you'll stand out? The answer is Branding and SEO.
And remember, everyone turns back to SEO, even giants like IBM, which started intensively in 2021. So it's not too late for you either. Request an SEO offer now.
