SOSEI vs an agency vs DIY
An agency redesign costs thousands and takes months — then ages in 18 months. DIY tools make you the developer, designer, SEO specialist, and lawyer. Here's how a subscription that stays current compares, line by line.
Why not an agency? Why not DIY?
Traditional agencies cost $5,000+ and take months. DIY tools make you the developer, designer, SEO specialist, and lawyer. We do all of it, for a subscription price.
