Key facts
- This single campus, faith based preschool in the Dallas Fort Worth metro area was quoted $5,000 USD one time for a new website plus $750 USD a month for SEO, priced August 14, 2026.
- Google Ads management was offered but left out of this price entirely, to be quoted separately once the center's own monthly ad budget was known.
- An earlier internal draft had priced the same list of fixes, minus the site rebuild, as one flat $1,000 USD a month fee before the price was split into two numbers.
- The center's mobile pages measured close to seventeen seconds to finish loading, and its parent reviews were invisible to Google because they loaded through a script after the page rendered.
- The record shows this proposal was sent on August 14, 2026. It does not say the business accepted it, only that it went out.
The business behind this proposal
The business in this dossier is a single campus, faith based early childhood center in the Dallas Fort Worth metro area of Texas. It serves infants through school age children, follows a Christian curriculum alongside standard early learning programs, and buses school age kids to nearby elementary schools for before and after school care.
The complaint that started this proposal was specific. National chain and franchise competitors had begun running location pages aimed at the exact neighborhood this center serves, while the center's own long time marketing vendor, one that focuses on childcare websites, did not appear to have an answer for that shift. The center is well established locally with a strong reputation, which is part of why losing ground to newer competitors mattered enough to ask a second agency for a look.
What was actually proposed
The final proposal priced two things separately: a full website rebuild as a one time fee, and ongoing search engine optimization as a monthly fee. Google Ads management was mentioned as something SearchPod could run for the center, but it was left unpriced in this proposal and would be quoted after a phone call about the center's own ad budget.
An earlier internal draft had priced the whole job differently, as one flat monthly fee bundling a faster site, fixing the reviews so Google could read them, new pages built around specific neighborhoods and class programs, a restarted blog with corrected financial aid information, ad management, an online tour booking tool, and a plain monthly report. The business owner replaced that single fee with the two line structure shown here before the proposal went out.
The price and how it breaks down
As quoted on August 14, 2026, in US dollars, the price was $5,000 one time for the new website and $750 a month for ongoing SEO. There was no ladder and no tiers tied to future results in this deal. Google Ads, if the center wanted it, would be a separate quote after that call.
This sits toward the upper half of SearchPod's published one time website range, which runs from about $1,500 to $20,000 or more depending on scope, and it reflects a fairly large planned rebuild, up to fifty pages by the owner's own count, rather than a small refresh of an existing site.
What moved the price, and what stayed out of it
Three things pushed this toward a bigger project instead of a light touch up. The center's own parent reviews were invisible to Google because they loaded through a script after the page rendered, a technical fix rather than a design change. The site's mobile pages measured close to seventeen seconds to feel finished loading, slow enough to lose visitors before they see anything. And several chains had already built pages aimed squarely at the same neighborhood this one campus serves, a content and structure problem rather than a single page fix.
What stayed out of the number matters too. Ad management was named as a service SearchPod could add, but it was deliberately left out of this dollar figure until the center's real monthly ad budget was known. The proposal also does not promise a ranking position or a count of new families, since neither outcome was part of what was quoted.
Where this proposal stands
August 14, 2026 is the send date on file for this offer, put together after the owner set the final price himself. Whether the center went on to sign is a detail the underlying dossier simply never captured. Anyone using this as a benchmark should treat it as one real quote on one date, not a promise that a similar preschool would be quoted the same amount today.

It is a real price from a real proposal, with every identifying detail about the business removed. The dollar figures are exactly what was quoted on the date shown, not a rounded example or a current rate card.
The business owner asked for the job split into a one time build cost and a separate ongoing SEO fee, after an earlier draft had bundled everything, including ad management, into a single flat monthly number.
The proposal listed Google Ads as something SearchPod could run, but left it unpriced so it could be quoted after a call about the center's actual monthly ad budget, since SearchPod charges ten percent of ad spend with a $600 minimum rather than a flat guess.
Likely, since this price reflects a fairly large planned rebuild, up to fifty pages, for a single campus competing against multi location chains. A smaller site with less competitive pressure would usually land lower in SearchPod's published $1,500 to $20,000 website range.
Sent is the only status this dossier can confirm for August 14, 2026. Nothing in the record states whether the preschool went on to accept the offer, so a signed deal is not something this page can claim.
This dossier is drawn from a real SearchPod proposal. Every name, address, and business identifier has been removed, and the dollar figures reflect only what was quoted on the date shown, not a standing offer.
