How much does ecommerce SEO cost in the UK?
Real UK ecommerce SEO retainers sit between £1,500 and £15,000 per month depending on catalogue size, competition, and scope. Here's what drives price up or down - and what you should expect at each tier.
UK ecommerce SEO typically costs £1,500-£15,000 per month. Price is driven by catalogue size, keyword competition, technical debt, content velocity, and whether digital PR is included. Anything under £1,000/mo is usually reporting or thin content, not real SEO delivery.
What's inside
What actually drives the price
Ecommerce SEO pricing is not arbitrary. Five variables set the tier: catalogue size, keyword competition, current technical debt, required content velocity, and whether digital PR is scoped in.
- Catalogue size (100 vs 10,000 SKUs)
- Keyword competition (niche vs mainstream)
- Technical debt to unwind
- Content velocity per month
- Digital PR and link acquisition
The tiers, in plain English
£1,500-£2,500/mo suits small stores with clean tech and a focused niche. £3,000-£5,000/mo is standard for growing DTC brands. £5,000-£10,000/mo covers Shopify Plus and mid-market. £10,000+ is enterprise or replatform-heavy scope.
What you should not pay for
Retainers under £1,000/mo are almost always reporting dashboards plus a monthly blog post. That is not ecommerce SEO. Neither is any package priced without ever looking at your store.
