Why is the price of SEO so low?

[Seraphina]

According to the promotion data from Google, my new website has a relatively low price. However, the data results have never been satisfactory to me.

What really matters in valuing a website is how much net profit it makes each year and under what conditions. Google isn’t valuing your site—it’s valuing ad space, meaning the quality of traffic it can sell to advertisers in its own network.

SEO pricing varies widely based on business size, strategy scope, and provider experience.

The price of SEO is often low because many businesses still underestimate its value or don’t understand what real SEO work involves. Some providers also offer cheap packages that focus only on surface-level tactics instead of long-term strategy. True SEO — with research, content optimization, technical audits, and link building — requires time and expertise, so quality services usually cost more.

SEO's low prices stem from high market competition and the perception of it as a simple "fix." Many firms use cheap, automated, or black-hat tactics, devaluing genuine, expert work. However, sustainable, ethical SEO is a long-term strategy requiring ongoing expertise, making its true cost higher than these low initial offers suggest.
