The short answer

Compare what is included, not the monthly figure.

The SEO agencies in Newcastle range from a few hundred dollars a month to several thousand. Two agencies at the same price can deliver very different work, and the gap is usually the number of pages written.

Each description below uses the agency’s own published words and prices. About half publish a price and half do not, which is worth knowing before a first call.

It has a large effect on the map results.

Worth questioning

What to ask about

No agency controls Google’s results, so a promise about a position is a promise about something outside its hands.

A page one guarantee
Ask which search it covers. Page one for a phrase nobody searches is not a result.
Reports that list tasks
Work performed is not the same as work that produced enquiries.
A very low monthly fee
Ask what it includes. Sometimes it is mostly reporting.
A long minimum term
A short minimum while the early work is done is common. Twelve months is a bigger ask and should come with a clear reason.

The short version

Compare SEO agencies on the pages they write, the profile work included and what you keep if you leave. Then ask each one how it measures results.
