Absolute HYBRID vs hiring a freelance SEO
A good freelancer is often the best $1,500 a month a small business spends. The catch is capacity: one person, limited hours, and everything stops when they take a holiday.

|---|---|---|
| Typical monthly cost | $49–$1,499 | $750–$2,500 for part-time hours |
| Throughput | Hundreds of pages a month | Limited to their available hours |
| Coverage while away | Automation keeps running | Work pauses |
| Tooling included | Yes — crawl, rank maps, links, reporting | You often pay for their tools too |
| Relationship | Platform plus a human team | One person who knows your business well |
| Custom one-off projects | Limited to our categories | Flexible, they'll take anything on |
