What shapes your price.
There is no flat rate, because no two markets are the same. These six factors set your scope and your quote, and we walk through every one of them in your proposal.
Competition
Outranking a few local rivals costs far less than contesting national head terms against deep-pocketed brands.
Channels
SEO alone is one figure. Add answer-engine optimisation, paid media or automation and scope grows with reach.
Content volume
How many pages, articles and answer blocks you need each month directly drives production cost.
Authority
Digital PR and link acquisition in competitive niches require more outreach, and more budget, to move the needle.
Speed to results
Aggressive timelines mean more parallel work up front, which lifts the early-month investment.
Automation
Custom AI agents and workflow builds are scoped as projects on top of, or instead of, retainers.

Pricing, answered.
The questions every business asks before signing. No fine print, no surprises.
Price is driven by how competitive your market is, the channels you need (SEO, AEO, paid, automation), the volume of content and links required, and how fast you want results. A local plumber outranking a few rivals costs far less than a national brand contesting head terms across multiple states each month.
No. Vikilinks works on rolling month-to-month retainers with a 30-day notice period, not fixed-term lock-in contracts. We believe results should keep you, not paperwork. Fixed-scope projects are quoted as one-off fees. You can pause, scale up or change direction whenever your goals or budget shift.
A retainer covers strategy, execution and reporting for your chosen channels. That typically means technical and on-page SEO, answer-engine optimisation, content production, schema, conversion tracking and a transparent dashboard. Higher tiers add digital PR, paid media management, AI automation and a dedicated strategist. Every line item is tied to an expected outcome.
Yes. Plans are designed to flex with you. Most clients start on Starter or Growth, then move up as search and AI visibility compound and budget frees up. You can add channels like paid advertising or automation at any time, and we re-scope mid-engagement when a new opportunity or competitor appears.
Yes. Every engagement starts with a free growth audit of your search, answer-engine and Core Web Vitals performance against your top Australian competitors. From that we build an itemised proposal with clear pricing, timelines and expected outcomes, so you know exactly what you are paying for before committing a dollar.
