SEO for architects is usually a monthly retainer, and the price depends on the building types you want to win, the areas you cover and how competitive your market is. Architecture wins a small number of high-value projects, so a few extra qualified enquiries a year can justify the cost, provided the plan is targeted.
What decides the price
- Project types: residential, commercial, interiors and specialist work each need their own pages.
- Service area: a wider region needs more local content.
- Competition: established practices with press and awards are hard to outrank.
- Website condition: image-heavy sites with little text often need the most rework.
- Content to produce: project write-ups and guides take time to write well.
What a fair quote should include
Look for a technical audit with fixes carried out, written service and project pages, image optimisation, Google Business Profile work, link-earning support and a monthly report tied to enquiries.

Warning signs
Avoid guaranteed rankings, plans that would flatten your design identity and bulk directory links. A good plan should add words and structure without changing the look of your work.
