The Comparison

Same goal — ranking higher. Very different way of getting you there.

Large enterprise agencies aren't bad at SEO — they're just built for a different kind of client. Here's how that shows up in what you actually experience day to day.

What matters to you CodePeko Typical Enterprise Agency
Pricing   Published plans from $599/mo   Custom quote after a sales call
Contract terms   Month-to-month, cancel anytime   Often 6–12 month lock-in
Who runs your account   A senior strategist, not a rotating junior team   Account managers overseeing dozens of clients
AI Search (GEO) readiness   Built into every plan from day one   Often a separate, newly-added upsell
Reporting cadence   Monthly reports, direct strategist access   Dashboard-only, limited human check-ins
Business size served   Local businesses to growing SMBs   Optimized for large national/enterprise budgets
Getting started   Free audit delivered in 48 hours   Proposal process before you see any specifics

Enterprise-agency practices summarized from common industry norms for large, national digital marketing firms — not any single named competitor.

Why It Works Out This Way

Three structural reasons boutique beats big — for businesses your size

This isn't a matter of trying harder. It's a matter of what each type of agency is actually built to do.

01

Fewer accounts per strategist

Large agencies spread senior talent across hundreds of clients, with day-to-day work handled by junior staff. At CodePeko, a senior strategist is hands-on with your account directly — not delegating your rankings to someone learning on the job.

02

Pricing built for your budget

Enterprise agencies price around large retainers because their overhead demands it. CodePeko's plans start at $599/month specifically because local and SMB budgets shouldn't be priced out of good SEO.

03

Speed without the layers

Every layer of account management between you and the person doing the work adds delay. Fewer layers means faster implementation — from a technical fix to a published article.

What You Actually Get

No contracts. No gatekept pricing. No junior hand-offs.

  • Direct line to the strategist working your account — not a generic support inbox.
  • A 90-day roadmap built specifically for your market, not a templated national playbook.
  • Transparent monthly reporting on rankings, traffic, and revenue impact — no dashboard-only black box.
  • Freedom to leave any month — we keep your business with results, not paperwork.

“CodePeko took us from page 3 to the #1 position for our primary keyword in under 4 months. Our organic leads increased by 340%.”

Fair Questions

Isn't a bigger agency just… more capable?

A fair question — here's how we think about it.

More staff means more capacity for volume, not necessarily more expertise per account. What matters for your rankings is the strategist actually assigned to your business — and at CodePeko, that's always a senior specialist, never a trainee.
Our Authority plan is built for exactly that: 80+ target keywords, unlimited page optimization, and dedicated senior strategy — enterprise-level scope, still without a lock-in contract.
Proprietary dashboards are useful for viewing data — they don't write better content or earn better backlinks on their own. Our monthly reports give you the same visibility into rankings, traffic, and ROI, paired with a strategist who can actually explain what you're looking at.
