Note from CEO, Natalie Henley
If you are looking for an SEO company in Denver, there are a whole lot of us…I mean a whole lot.
I’ve heard it can be a *tad overwhelming* for companies trying to find a service provider.
To start with, we all sound really similar and use all the exact words, and I agree it’s super frustrating & overwhelming.
So, if you reach out to Volume Nine, I promise you a direct, easy to understand conversation with an expert – not a sales person.
Secondly – you don’t *have* to work with a company in your backyard, but if that’s what you prefer, a member of our team is happy to swing by your office. Sometimes it’s nice to meet your team in person.
Overall, my commitment to you if you reach out to Volume Nine is to help you connect the dots for how SEO can help your business grow + make it dead easy to compare and contrast us with any other companies you might be considering.

Our SEO pricing & typical Denver pricing
How to get Pricing from Volume Nine
Option 1: Email for Quick Pricing
I get it; sometimes, you don’t want to sit through a sales presentation to get pricing. If you want quick pricing ranges, just ping us and we’re happy to send them over.
Option 2: Discovery + Custom Analysis
Prospects rave about the free custom analysis we provide if you are considering hiring us. In addition to free reports from our enterprise SEO tools, we also commit hours of internal team time to develop a custom strategy for you.
Typical SEO Pricing Levels in the Colorado Market:
✓ Less than $1,000 per month – Be afraid, be very afraid.
✓ $1,000 – $2,000 – You are probably looking at a package provider who has constructed packages to help small businesses.
✓ $2,000 – $5,000 – Pretty typical level for SEO companies that serve medium-sized businesses.
✓ $5K + – Enterprise level pricing or pricing for highly competitive spaces (e.g., Legal).
Buyer Beware – SEO Companies in Denver to Avoid
Alright, it would be unethical to list out service providers who have gotten a bad rap over the years, but here are the things I’d recommend looking out for when you are interviewing service providers:
- Not getting to meet the person you will be working with before signing a contract.
- Companies that insist on sending you through a full technical audit because it’s their process. This isn’t necessarily bad (maybe you need a technical audit), but it is a good indicator of whether they have flexible methods. 90% + of the companies who ask us to start with a full technical audit don’t need one.
- Garbage content providers (I totally recommend asking for content samples).
- Giant companies which have set up a fake satellite office in Denver to trick you into thinking you are working with a local company.
- Companies that rely on a lot of link building, which is pretty risky for you if not done correctly. And by risky, I mean..is it worth getting kicked off Google for months while you pay some company thousands of dollars to do link reclamation on your behalf?
- Lame interpretations of what SEO & content optimization really means (some companies will call optimized page titles SEO and call it good).
Options for getting SEO work done
Freelancers
Likely, you’ll be paying lower per hour for high-quality SEO work. The big challenge: they are generally slammed and often need to be managed. The big concern is that it’s challenging to differentiate rockstar SEO talent from those who talk SEO but don’t quite know what they are doing. Vetting SEO contractors can take a substantial amount of time.
In-House
Experienced SEO specialists in Denver are (1) hard to hire and (2) not cheap. Also, it’ll be a tough sell if you aren’t offering a remote position. But if you have enough specialized SEO work in-house or have more of a culture of hiring in-house vs. something like an agency, this option can make a lot of sense.
Agencies
Per hour, agencies can be a pricer solution. Any reputable agency is going to charge $125/hour +. But, agencies also are self-managed, focused on results (cause otherwise we’d get fired), and have the systems and processes in place to ensure that hourly rate is very efficient.

Can we do SEO audits?
Yes, but seriously, you probably don’t need one.
Many people have this concept in their mind that a full audit is needed before you do anything else. What they are really looking for is an SEO strategy…technical audits rarely provide that.
What a technical SEO audit is excellent for:
- You are an eCommerce brand, not on Shopify or any other well-known Content Management System.
- You relaunched the website, and your organic traffic tanked.
- Organic traffic tanked, and you’re sure someone made some website update that corresponded to that.
Otherwise, having a complete Technical Audit is rarely cost-effective for brands we bring on. We recommend something more like a red-flag review, where we crawl, look for significant issues, and then move on.
What SEO Tactics Do you Provide?
If you compare more than 1 service provider, this is where we all will start to sound really similar. But yes, if it’s a specific tactic you want, we will likely offer it (unless it is a black hat tactic or something we don’t recommend).
Here’s a giant catalog of things I can think of off the top of my head that we’ve helped clients with, but if there’s something you don’t see on the list, ask. We’ve probably done it and can help with it.

We focus on more than just SEO
We’re an agency focused on helping brands grow organically, so we do a lot more than provide SEO services, including these digital marketing services:
Our SEO philosophy: High-quality content & user-first focus
We prioritize high-quality content and SEO strategies that focus on the user first, with Google as a close second. Here’s a deeper look at our SEO philosophy:
- An excellent technical platform underneath your website is vital to long-term SEO success. The goal isn’t to have a perfect site, technically, but one that isn’t holding your visibility back.
- Producing high–quality content matters. Thus, Content Marketing is a crucial component of Search Engine Optimization.
- Social media marketing and email marketing are essential for promoting said content.
- Canned SEO sucks – Great SEO programs are flexible and data-driven, not tactic-driven.
- Backlinks are good for SEO. Link building is risky, and link earning is golden.
- On-Page SEO (aka content optimization) is vital, primarily semantic optimization tactics.
- SEO and your online presence are essential for both B2B & B2C brands – the tactics might just be a little different
Who isn't a good fit for SEO with V9?
We love SEO, but there are some companies and projects that we aren’t probably the best fit for:
- Cleaning up links that got you penalized – It’s not a pretty picture; we don’t like doing it.
- Brand new startups – Good SEO takes time, especially for new baby websites. Startups tend to not have the runway required for SEO results.
- Non-unique businesses – We’ve built our processes and teams around helping unique companies connect with customers online.
- Reputation management – If you suffer in the SERPS from negative reviews and content, a PR strategist may be a better place to start.
- Desperate Situations – If you need results fast to keep the lights on, SEO as a channel overall might not be the starting point.
