Today, having search engine optimisation isn't enough for a New York business. Your potential client opens a smartphone on the L train, sees three or four similar offers, and decides in 5 seconds which one to engage. If yours is slow, unclear on mobile, or doesn't render correctly under iOS Safari with intermittent subway connectivity — you've lost that customer before they finished reading your headline. That's why investing in quality SEO isn't a "luxury expense", it's a direct investment in revenue.
I'm Alex Filiuk, a Senior practitioner with 15 years of experience and a portfolio of 130+ projects. I deliver search engine optimisation for businesses in New York, across the US (San Francisco, LA, Boston, Austin), in Europe (London, Manchester, Edinburgh), and in Ukraine. On this page I've collected what's worth knowing for an NYC business owner before commissioning seo: how the engagement works, USD pricing brackets, which mistakes destroy ROI, and which 2025-2026 trends actually matter for the NYC market.
NYC is among the most competitive organic-search markets globally. Whether you're a Manhattan service business chasing 'best dentist Upper East Side' or a B2B SaaS chasing 'team chat tool', the SERP is occupied by national brands with content libraries of 5,000+ pages and domain authority above 80. Breaking in requires technical excellence, search-intent-driven content architecture, and patient link-and-authority work. Brands that treat SEO as 'add some keywords' typically plateau at page 3; brands that treat it as a long-horizon owned-channel investment compound traffic 20–40% YoY.
What quality SEO delivers for an NYC business:
Naive SEO is 'add the keyword to the meta-title and write a blog post'. That stopped working in 2017. Modern SEO is a multi-discipline operation combining technical health, content architecture, search-intent matching, schema, internal linking, and authority signals. Skipping any of these creates a ceiling that no amount of 'more content' breaks through.
A real NYC-grade SEO program runs four parallel disciplines:
SEO compounds with Google Ads (paid + organic SERP coverage) and CRO (turning organic visitors into customers). The whole stack is more than the sum.
Across 15 years and 130+ projects, I've noticed NYC business categories have their own digital signature. Most-common requests for SEO:
Different category, different approach — so I don't ship templates. Every engagement starts with discovery against your actual NYC market context.
I work via a transparent process that 130+ clients have completed end-to-end. Each phase has a fixed deliverable that you receive in your hands. No "wait a month while I design" — you know what's happening every week, with weekly Slack updates and one Zoom sync at 8am NYC / 3pm Kyiv.
NYC has a deep pool of talent — and rates that match. A typical Senior at a Manhattan agency: $180–280/hour. A 12-week engagement at a respectable Flatiron studio: $80,000–180,000. The work is excellent, but the cost makes it inaccessible for most early-stage startups, mid-sized DTC brands, and bootstrapped B2B SaaS companies.
The remote Ukraine-Senior model gives you:
All projects are quoted as fixed fee in USD, paid 50% upfront / 50% on delivery (or split into milestones for projects > $20K). No hourly invoices. If scope changes mid-project — we re-quote, you approve in writing, and the change is added with a clear delta.
Indicative ranges to set expectations (every quote is bespoke, but these brackets are realistic):
Discounts apply when you bundle services (e.g. design + development + SEO together) — typically 15-25% vs. ordering each separately.
The 7-hour difference between New York (EST/EDT) and Kyiv (EET/EEST) is the biggest concern most NYC clients raise — and it's the easiest to solve. The honest answer: most NYC startup founders and product teams already work async with Slack-first cadence. The remote-Ukraine engagement just formalises what's already happening internally.
My portfolio contains 130+ projects, including B2B SaaS for US founders, DTC brand sites for NYC and LA-based companies, and fintech dashboards for clients on the East Coast. For NDA reasons I can't list every client publicly — but on the discovery call I'll walk you through 5-10 most-relevant cases for your specific niche.

Fill out the contact form or message me through the channels in the footer. The first 60-90 minute call is free — we'll discuss your business, product goals, indicative scope, USD budget range, and timeline. If you have an existing site / app, I'll do a quick express-review and show you 3-5 issues that can be fixed in the first week, even before signing a full engagement.
