The short answer
Updated Nov 3, 2026
The top-ranked SEO agency in the USA in November 2026 is eDesign Interactive (Morristown, New Jersey), followed by 57 Clicks Marketing Agency (Kissimmee, Florida) and Dragon Horse Agency (Naples, Florida). Rankyfy evaluated and ranked 438 US SEO companies, and every entry has a verified US office or verified US clients, so a national agency’s landing page for a city it has never worked in does not qualify. The top 10 hold 1,175 Google reviews at an average rating of 4.83, each scoring 56 or higher. Published hourly rates run from $25 to $300 across the 198 agencies that disclose pricing. Ranking comes from verified reviews, measured visibility, portfolio, response time and credentials; sponsored slots are labelled and cannot buy rank.

How the Rankyfy Score ranks SEO companies in the USA
The Rankyfy Score rates an agency from 0 to 100 on five things clients can check themselves: client reviews, measured visibility, portfolio, responsiveness and credentials. Measured visibility is the component that separates agencies on this list today, because most profiles are new and carry similar review data.

Terra is a New York agency in the 50 to 249 person range whose work divides evenly between web design and SEO. Its own description is brief, saying it is built for busy teams who want to move quickly and work with good people, which points to a focus on pace and collaboration.
Pricing places it at the higher end of the market: the minimum project size is around $75,000, with hourly rates between $150 and $199. That suggests substantial website and search projects for well-funded organisations rather than small engagements.
Terra is likely to suit larger companies in New York and elsewhere in the US looking for a web design and SEO agency able to deliver sizeable builds on tight timelines.
TKX Media, based in South Jordan, Utah, describes its approach in plain terms: do the work, get results and keep things easy for clients. Its declared services divide almost equally between SEO, web design and PPC, with a separate team for each.
The SEO team handles technical and local SEO, content strategy, link building and AI search optimization, also known as GEO and AEO. The PPC team builds and manages Google Ads and Meta Ads campaigns, sets up conversion tracking and keeps optimizing once campaigns are live. The web team designs and builds custom WordPress sites with responsive layouts, UX planning, CMS integration and ongoing support. Every client is given a dedicated point of contact who is expected to know the business well, and the agency says it values clear communication, organization and delivering on schedule.
TKX Media works with clients in manufacturing, healthcare, B2B, home services, SaaS, ecommerce and professional services, from local businesses to national companies. The team has 10 to 49 people. Projects start at $5,000 and hourly rates are $100 to $149. It suits companies wanting a Utah SEO and PPC agency that can also rebuild their WordPress website, with one contact person coordinating all three.
San Francisco agency Secret Sushi, Inc offers an evenly balanced set of services: PPC, digital marketing, content marketing, social media marketing and SEO each account for an equal share of its work. Rather than leaning on a single channel, it covers both paid and organic routes to an audience, along with the content that supports them.
The agency has between 10 and 49 people. Its minimum project size is $5,000 and hourly rates range from $150 to $199, a mid-to-upper price point. That makes it more likely to suit established companies with a dedicated marketing budget. Businesses looking for a digital marketing agency in San Francisco that combines PPC, SEO and content may find Secret Sushi worth a closer look. Industry focus is not listed.
Costa Mesa, California is where KlientBoost is headquartered, with further team members in Raleigh, North Carolina and working remotely across North America. Its declared work is split between SEO, PPC and social media marketing, and the agency positions itself around measurable growth in pipeline, revenue and profitability.
KlientBoost says it pools performance data from across its active client base so that new campaigns start from evidence rather than guesswork. It works with SaaS, ecommerce and lead generation businesses and notes that, although it lists well-known names such as Airbnb, NPR, Stanford, Bloomberg, Upwork and SAP among its clients, it also takes on much smaller companies. The agency is known for publishing marketing content and offers prospective clients a free marketing plan before engagement.
The team sits in the 50 to 249 band. Projects start at around $1,000 and hourly rates run from $100 to $149, which makes it accessible to growing companies as well as larger ones. KlientBoost suits SaaS firms, online retailers and lead-driven businesses looking for a PPC and SEO agency in California that relies on cross-client performance data.
Oyova describes search engine optimisation as the core of its marketing work, and splits declared services equally between SEO and web design. From Jacksonville Beach, Florida, with work also in St. Petersburg, it offers technical SEO audits, on site optimisation, link building and local SEO, with PPC, content strategy, social media, marketing automation and analytics reporting around them. The development side is unusually technical for an SEO agency: complex WordPress builds, multisite set ups and plugins, Shopify Plus stores, and C# and .NET work for companies that need to automate workflows or connect platforms, plus CRM consulting and site migrations. It describes a consultative, hands on approach. No industries are listed in its profile. Rankyfy measured organic traffic rising from 43,370 to 55,070 visits over 12 months; the score of 20.4 reflects reviews at 0 of 40 and visibility at 19 of 25. Team of 10 to 49. Projects from $5,000, hourly $150 to $199.
Generative engine optimisation is the entire focus of ShowUpWithAI, a small Austin, Texas agency that works on getting brands mentioned and recommended in AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google's AI features. SEO accounts for all of its declared work, framed here as AI search visibility, also called GEO or AEO.
The agency describes a done-for-you model: instead of handing over data for the client to act on, the team carries out the work itself. Its stated activities include technical and schema setup on the website, content written for AI answers, earning citations in listicle articles that AI tools already draw on, building a presence on Reddit and Quora, and review strategies for platforms such as Trustpilot and G2. It says clients can check progress in their own Google Analytics and that engagements come with a money-back traffic guarantee.
ShowUpWithAI was founded by Elina Panteleyeva and has a team of one to nine people. Projects start at about $5,000; hourly rates are not published. It lists local businesses, high-ticket coaches and consultants, ecommerce brands, and B2B and SaaS companies among the clients it serves, making it best suited to firms that want an outsourced partner focused specifically on AI search.
Los Angeles agency Visible Factors describes itself as data-driven and organised as an agency collective, bringing together experienced practitioners to serve growing brands and companies. Its declared work is split across SEO, PPC and content marketing in roughly equal parts.
The agency's own account names three main channels: search engine optimisation, paid media and email and lifecycle marketing. It says its client base has been built through referrals and word of mouth rather than outbound selling, and it positions the collective model as an alternative to the structure of a traditional agency.
The team has 10 to 49 people. The minimum project is $5,000, and hourly rates of $200 to $300 are at the upper end of the market, which reflects its emphasis on experienced specialists. Visible Factors is likely to suit growth-stage brands that want senior input on SEO, paid media and retention marketing from a Los Angeles agency.
Small and medium-sized businesses are the main audience for Cyfrow Solutions, an Austin, Texas agency that describes itself as entirely focused on SEO. Its declared work is split between SEO and web design, and it says it has worked with clients across the United States since 2016.
Its search services include on-page optimisation and keyword targeting, technical SEO, local SEO and link building. It also offers newer forms of search work, which it labels generative engine optimisation, AI SEO and answer engine optimisation, aimed at visibility in AI-generated answers as well as in standard search results. The agency supports both local and national campaigns, and works with companies at different stages, from new businesses to established ones that are scaling.
Cyfrow emphasises a transparent process that clients can follow easily, personalised support throughout an engagement and pricing set with smaller budgets in mind. That is reflected in its figures: a $1,000 minimum project and hourly rates of $50 to $99. Despite the accessible pricing, the team is fairly large, in the 50 to 249 range. For a small or mid-sized US business that wants an affordable SEO agency in Austin, covering local search, technical fixes and AI-focused optimisation, Cyfrow Solutions is a practical option to consider.
Based in Riverton, Utah, Upward Engine is an internet marketing agency that puts search visibility at the centre of its work. SEO accounts for the largest share of its services, supported in roughly equal measure by PPC advertising, content marketing, broader digital marketing, social media marketing and web design. For a business that wants one provider to look after its website, organic rankings and paid campaigns together, that mix covers most of the core channels.
The agency says it was built on three principles: being transparent, getting results and earning loyalty. In practice it describes explaining its deliverables plainly, so clients can see and follow the SEO work being done instead of treating it as something mysterious. It aims to keep its methods in line with search engine guidelines, and it tracks and reports phone calls as a way of showing return on investment early in an engagement. It also says it does not lock clients into contracts, preferring to keep their business month by month.
The team sits in the 50 to 249 person range. Projects start at $1,000, with hourly rates between $100 and $149. Upward Engine suits small and mid-sized US companies looking for an SEO agency in Utah that offers rolling, contract-free arrangements and call-based reporting.
New York is the base for WiserBrand, an agency in the 50 to 249 staff range. Its work divides almost evenly between PPC, SEO and digital marketing, with paid advertising listed first, giving it coverage of both paid and organic search.
The larger team allows it to take on sizeable accounts, and its pricing reflects that: the minimum project size is $10,000 and hourly rates are $100 to $149. WiserBrand may suit mid-sized and larger companies looking for a PPC and SEO agency in New York that can run search marketing at scale. Specific industries, platforms and client examples are not included in the available information, so ask about them during an initial discussion.
Amazon sellers and direct-to-consumer ecommerce brands that already have traction are the audience Olifant Digital is built around. The agency is headquartered in Grand Island, New York, and its work splits fairly evenly between SEO, PPC and broader digital marketing, all pointed at marketplace and online store growth.
On Amazon, it lists account management, sponsored ads, listing optimisation and SEO, A+ Content, product launches and catalogue management across marketplaces in the US, UK, EU, Canada and Australia. For DTC brands it runs Facebook and Instagram ads, Google Ads, ad creative, email and SMS retention, conversion rate optimisation and ecommerce SEO. The agency says it judges decisions on profit rather than revenue alone, looking at contribution margin, and that it uses its own AI platform, Olifant AI, to flag spend and budget decisions daily, with clients given live access to the same view.
Olifant Digital describes month-to-month terms with no lock-in and no fees based on a percentage of ad spend, and it offers a free audit and growth plan before engagement. Its listing names brands such as Coat Defense, Ekster and Wedge Guys among its case studies. The team is in the 10 to 49 band, projects start at around $1,000 and hourly rates run $100 to $149. It suits established ecommerce sellers rather than brand-new stores.
Perrill, a digital marketing agency serving the Minneapolis, Minnesota area from Minnetonka, combines SEO, web design and broader digital marketing, with each taking a similar share of its work and search slightly in front.
The agency describes its digital marketing, development and design services as working together to make businesses more visible online and generate more leads and revenue. It has added generative engine optimisation to its services, aimed at improving how companies are found in large language models and AI chatbots, alongside conventional search work.
Perrill has a team in the 10 to 49 range. Projects start at around $5,000, and hourly rates fall between $150 and $199. It is a reasonable fit for Minnesota companies wanting an SEO agency in the Twin Cities that can also design and build their website and adapt their search strategy for AI-driven discovery.
Razor Rank is a Dallas, Texas digital marketing agency whose work is spread evenly across SEO, PPC, social media marketing, content marketing and web design. Its team is in the 50 to 249 range, and it works with both large brands and small and mid-sized businesses.
The agency names Maui Jim, Foot Locker and FTD Florists among its brand clients, and says it also serves lead generation sites in demanding fields such as personal injury law, implant dentistry and software. Its services include technical SEO, paid search, display ads, social media management, website design and development, reputation management, web hosting, content development and general marketing consulting. Its client mix runs from smaller B2B and B2C firms, online shops and lead generation sites up to enterprise-level brands.
Razor Rank says it puts weight on professionalism, transparency and customer service. Projects start at around $1,000 and hourly rates are $100 to $149, which keeps it within reach of smaller businesses as well as larger ones.

Editor's notes
The problem with searching for an SEO company in the United States is that the results mix real local agencies with national agencies' city landing pages, and nobody says which agencies actually have an office or clients where you are. This page, and the state and city pages under it, fix that with one rule: verified local presence. An agency appears on a US city list only with an office verified by our team, by a video call or a document, or with clients in that city verified through their reviews. The state pages roll those cities up, and this national page is the parent, filterable by state, city and industry. Prices are shown in US dollars from the companies' own submissions, and the market snapshot above gives the median retainer across this page with its sample size; the US vs India cost index linked below shows typical ranges by tier if you want to know whether a quote is high, and the industry lists rank agencies on verified reviews from clients in a specific field. Use the filters. Verified only, budget band and industry narrow several hundred agencies to a shortlist, and the "best for" labels on the top entries say who each suits. The checks are the same as on every list here: a named account manager, a sample report built on Search Console data rather than rank-tracker positions, accounts in your name, a written link policy with a monthly list, and a paid pilot before a long term. The negative reviews across US agencies on this site cluster around long contracts with automatic renewal and around reports that show activity rather than results, so read the notice clause and the sample report before the first call.

What does SEO cost from a US company?
The market snapshot on this page shows the median retainer across the companies listed, with the sample size. Typical ranges by tier are in the US vs India cost index; local SEO for one location and small-business retainers are the most common purchases.
How are US companies ranked?
By the Rankyfy Score alone: verified client reviews, the company's own measured search visibility, portfolio and experience, responsiveness to briefs, and verified credentials. Sponsored companies sit in a labelled strip and cannot buy rank.
Should I choose a local agency or a national one?
A local agency for in-person work and market knowledge; a national one for scale. Both appear here if they have verified presence. The industry lists are often the better filter than geography for a specialized business.
