A Year of Writing Set Against Greenville County's Town List
Say a Greenville County business sells three services and wants a landing page for each in each of the 6 places above 2,500 residents: that grid is 18 pages. How fast each plan builds the grid is below.
| Plan | Per month | Local pages per month | Months for the full grid | Content Assets in 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | $1,495 | 25 | 0.7 months | 48 (8.0 per place) |
| Gold | $2,495 | 50 | 0.4 months | 96 (16.0 per place) |
| Platinum | $3,495 | 100 | 0.2 months | 144 (24.0 per place) |
Three services per large place is an assumption. Plan volumes match the pricing page.
Three services is an example, not a quote; nothing here predicts leads or rankings. Assets are separate.
