Local SEO agencies charge four figures, send a PDF once a month, and never quite explain what they did. ranker.bot does the same work — and shows you every move — for less than most agencies charge in a day.
Same outcomes. Very different price — and transparency.

Agency prices reflect common UK/US local-SEO retainers. Your mileage will vary — that's rather the point.
Because the expensive part of an agency isn't the work — it's the overhead.
Audits, citation checks, rank tracking and review monitoring are automated — no junior account manager billing hours for it.
The strategy is handed to you in plain English. You stay in control instead of paying someone to keep you guessing.
You're not funding an office and a sales team. You pay for the outcome, and you can leave whenever you like.
"We'd paid an agency £1,400 a month for a year. ranker.bot did more in a fortnight — and for the first time I could actually see what was happening."
