Pricing / SEO cost
How much does travel SEO cost in Egypt?
What you're actually buying at each level, and why two operators the same size can differ by a factor of three.
Travel SEO in Egypt is normally sold as a monthly retainer, in three broad bands: maintenance, growth and multi-market. What separates them is not effort but scope — how many destination clusters get built, whether content production is included, how many languages are involved, and whether the technical work extends into the site's code. Project-based technical overhauls are priced separately.
The bands
Three levels, and what
separates them.
Maintenance
Keeping a technically sound site healthy and slowly compounding.
- Technical monitoring and fixes
- Search Console management
- A small number of content pieces monthly
- Schema upkeep on key templates
- Monthly reporting
operators whose site is already sound and who need steady progress.
Not fine for:anyone trying to break into a competitive destination term this year.
Growth
The full programme: visibility, conversion and authority running together.
- Everything above
- Destination and tour clusters built quarterly
- Content production with named authors
- GEO / AEO work and citation tracking
- Link acquisition in the travel niche
- Conversion work on the booking path
established operators competing directly with OTA listings.
Not fine for:sites with fundamental technical problems — fix those first.
Multi-market
Several languages, several brands, or several source markets at once.
- Everything above
- Native content per source market
- hreflang architecture and management
- Multiple sites under one programme
- Dedicated development capacity
DMCs and groups selling into four or more markets.
Not fine for:a single-market operator — you'd be paying for coordination you don't need.

Questions
Frequently asked
How long before travel SEO pays for itself?
Technical and conversion fixes can move numbers within weeks. Authority in Egyptian inbound travel is a six-to-twelve-month build, and the payback usually lands somewhere in the second year — after which the cost per booking keeps falling.
Is SEO cheaper than paying OTA commission?
Almost always, eventually. Commission is charged in full on every booking forever. SEO is a cost that compounds into an asset. The crossover point depends on your volume — the OTA calculator on this site models it.
Can we do SEO in-house instead?
Parts of it, yes, especially content if you have writers who know the destinations. Technical work and GEO usually need someone doing it daily. A hybrid where we brief and your team executes is often the best value.
Why do quotes vary so much?
Because “SEO” covers everything from a monthly report to a full content and engineering programme. Compare what's actually being produced each month, not the headline number.
Do you charge per keyword?
No. Keywords aren't units of work — a single destination cluster can target sixty of them. Pricing per keyword is a sales device, not a scope.
