Fully managed telehealth SEO typically costs between $7,995 and $25,000 per month, above general ecommerce SEO because health content requires clinical review before publication and links in health categories are materially harder and more expensive to earn than in unregulated verticals.

01
Our pricing, stated plainly
Fully managed engagements start at $7,995 per month. Most telehealth engagements land between $7,995 and $25,000 depending on two variables: how competitive your category is, and how much ground there is to make up.
A brand defending an established position in fertility, where commercial terms still sit under difficulty 25, needs a different investment from a brand entering hair loss against publishers with a decade of authority.
We give you the exact figure on the first call, with the strategy attached. No discovery sequence, no proposal three weeks later, no pricing that appears only after you have invested four hours in the process.

Why health SEO costs more than ecommerce SEO
Three cost drivers that do not exist in unregulated categories.
| Cost driver | Why it exists | Rough share of spend |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical review | Every page reviewed by a licensed physician before publication | Meaningful and unavoidable in YMYL |
| Link acquisition | Health publishers vet harder and charge more than general sites | Usually the largest single line |
| Specialist writing | Writers who understand drug classes and claim boundaries cost more | Higher than general content rates |
| Compliance overhead | FDA, FTC and state licensure framing on every claim | Built into review rather than separate |
The link line is the one that surprises people. Most agencies avoid health categories precisely because links are expensive here, and that expense is exactly why links remain one of the largest ranking levers in telehealth rather than a commodity everyone has.
03
What actually moves the number for your brand
Category competitiveness first. Hair loss, GLP-1 and mental health sit at the expensive end because incumbent authority is entrenched and the terms carry $12 to $14 CPCs. Fertility, IV therapy and diagnostics sit nearer the entry point because the competitive landscape is genuinely softer.
Existing authority second. A brand with a real link profile and clean technical foundations needs less remediation than one starting from a thin domain or recovering from a core update.
Content volume third. Twenty-nine categories exist on our own site because each vertical has its own demand. If you compete across several, you need depth in each rather than a shared page that ranks for none.
And geographic scope. A licensed multi-state prescriber needing a state content layer carries more architecture work than a single-market brand.
04
Why we will not work below $10M
This is a pricing question rather than a snobbery one.
The work we do, clinically reviewed content at volume plus digital PR and expensive link acquisition, has a floor cost that does not scale down usefully. Below roughly $10M in revenue, that spend represents a share of marketing budget that cannot return fast enough to justify itself, and the honest outcome is a brand that spends twelve months on a channel it needed to see results from in four.
Brands under $10M are better served by paid, by conversion work, and by a lighter content programme run in-house. We would rather say that than take the retainer.
When I am asked if I know of anyone in the SEO space, without hesitation I point them to DTC SEO. They truly understand the power of authority content, onsite metrics, and strategic backlinking and has the network to put it into play.
