The best SEO companies in Naples, FL, compared honestly
A straight, no-hype buyer's guide for Naples and Collier County business owners. We name real companies, disclose that we're one of them, and give you the same criteria to judge every firm on this page, us included.
How this list was built, and our stake in it
Most pages ranking for "best SEO companies in Naples" are pay-to-play directories or lists written by whoever ranks them. This one is different in two ways. First, we disclose our bias up front: this page lives on the website of a Naples SEO agency, and we include ourselves in the list. Second, every claim below is something you can check yourself, on each company's own website, its Google Business Profile, or the Semrush agency directory, all reviewed on July 4, 2026.
We did not invent scores or rankings. Where a company publishes pricing, we quote it. Where it doesn't, we say so. Where we couldn't verify something, the table below says "unclear" instead of guessing. Judge every firm on this page, including us, by the same criteria.
The companies: a named Naples SEO roundup
Here are the firms a Naples or Collier County business owner should actually have on a shortlist in 2026, with the facts that matter: where they are, what they charge when they say, and whether they work on AI search visibility at all.
1. Naples SEO
Full disclosure first: this is our site, so read this entry knowing we wrote it. We work from a Naples office at 4851 Tamiami Trail North, Suite 660, hold a 5.0 Google rating, and publish our pricing: plans at $750, $1,500 and from $3,000 a month, all month to month with no long-term contracts. AI search optimization (getting you cited by ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity) is included in every plan rather than sold as an add-on.
Best for: SWFL service businesses that want map-pack SEO and AI-search visibility together, at published prices, without a lock-in.
2. Naples SEO Company
The longest-standing SEO brand in town, and the firm that currently holds the Google knowledge panel for the term. It runs an active blog and carries a Google Partner badge. It publishes no street address and no pricing on its site, so plan on a sales conversation to learn either.
Best for: owners who put the most weight on tenure and the most established local name. Deeper comparison: Naples SEO vs Naples SEO Company.
3. Keever SEO
Founder Scott Keever has real press coverage, and the firm holds a strong Google review base at a 5.0 rating. Local SEO starts around $1,000 a month per their site. Two things worth knowing: the listed Naples address is a residential street (8971 Redonda Dr), and there is no AI-search or GEO service on their menu.
Best for: businesses that want a heavily reviewed, press-covered operator for traditional local SEO. Deeper comparison: Naples SEO vs Keever SEO.
4. D&D SEO Services
Fort Myers based, with some of the most transparent pricing in the market: $750 to $1,799 a month, published right on the site. The team leans hard into GEO and AEO and publishes content constantly.
Best for: Lee County and budget-minded Collier businesses that want AI-era SEO at clear prices. Deeper comparison: Naples SEO vs D&D SEO Services.
5. SEO Elite Agency
One of the few firms on this list with an address in Naples proper, at 1950 Mayfair St. It is a Semrush Agency Partner and a Naples Chamber member, and it sells AEO and voice search alongside classic SEO.
Best for: owners who want a physically local shop with verifiable third-party credentials. Deeper comparison: Naples SEO vs SEO Elite Agency.
6. Jason Shaffer Group
Ranks well for Naples SEO terms itself, which is a fair proof point, and sells AI SEO and GEO services. The site publishes no street address and no pricing.
Best for: businesses sold on an AI-first pitch that don't mind calling for the details.
7. Dragon Horse Agency
A Naples agency listed from $2,500 a month in the Semrush agency directory. That entry price puts it upmarket of most local SEO shops.
Best for: established brands with room in the budget for a broader agency engagement.
8. Lasso Up
Listed from $5,000 a month in the Semrush agency directory, the highest starting price on this page.
Best for: larger companies where SEO is one piece of a bigger marketing spend.
9. Thrive Internet Marketing Agency
A national agency with real scale, a major Clutch presence and a long list of industry awards. There is no Naples office, and its Naples page is one of 25 near-identical city pages on its site.
Best for: multi-location or national companies that value big-agency process over local presence. Deeper comparison: Naples SEO vs Thrive Internet Marketing.
The honest cheat sheet
If you want clear published pricing from a Fort Myers shop that leans into AI search, D&D is a strong value pick. If you need national scale, Thrive is built for it. If you want a Naples office, published pricing, and AI search included in every plan, that combination is exactly what we built our plans around.
Comparison at a glance

|---|---|---|---|
| Naples SEO (us) | Naples, Tamiami Trail N, Suite 660 | $750 / $1,500 / from $3,000 per month | Included in every plan |
| Naples SEO Company | Naples, no street address published | Not published | Unclear |
| Keever SEO | Naples, residential address | From about $1,000/mo | Not on the service menu |
| D&D SEO Services | Fort Myers | $750 to $1,799/mo | Yes, a core focus |
| SEO Elite Agency | Naples, 1950 Mayfair St | Unclear | Yes, sells AEO and voice |

| Thrive Internet Marketing | National, no Naples office | Unclear | Unclear |
"Unclear" means we could not verify it from the company's site or a third-party directory as of July 2026. It is not a knock, just a note that you'll need to ask.
What to look for before you hire any of them
Company names change, criteria don't. Whichever firm you shortlist, hold it to this standard:
- Local proof. Work for Southwest Florida businesses, or at least your industry. An agency that understands snowbird seasonality (the October-to-April surge) starts ahead of one that doesn't.
- Reporting on leads, not vanity. Calls, form fills and booked jobs, not just "keywords moved." If you can't tell what you're paying for, that's a problem.
- A real audit before a quote. Diagnosis before prescription. A firm that prices you without looking at your site, reviews and competitors is selling a package, not a plan.
- Sensible contract terms. SEO compounds over months, so some patience is fair. A 12-month lock-in with an early-termination penalty is not.
- An AI-search plan. Buyers now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews "who's the best roofer in Naples?" Notice from the table how few local firms sell this work at all. Our AI search optimization service page explains what it should include.
- You own the work. Content, citations and site changes should stay yours if you leave.
Bring a printed list of questions to every sales call. We keep a copy-and-paste version in questions to ask a Naples SEO company, and it applies to us as much as anyone.
Red flags, whoever you're talking to
A few patterns reliably separate pros from pretenders. Guaranteed #1 rankings. Reporting that never mentions phone calls. Suspiciously cheap pricing paired with vague deliverables. "Proprietary" tactics they won't name. And in 2026, no answer at all when you ask about AI search. None of these alone proves a bad agency, but stack two or three and walk carefully. We broke each one down, with Naples-specific examples, in our SEO red flags guide.
Agency, freelancer, or national firm?
The list above is all agencies, but "best" also depends on the shape of help you need. A good solo freelancer can be excellent for a single location with a focused goal. A local agency brings a team and continuity. A national firm like Thrive brings scale and a big paid-media bench, at the cost of local presence. There is no universally right answer, only the right answer for your stage and budget. We compared the tradeoffs in agency vs. freelancer for Naples SEO.
How to actually choose
Shortlist two or three firms from the roundup above. Ask each for a real audit, their plan for AI-search citations, and how their reporting ties to leads. Then compare the answers side by side, and be suspicious of anyone who guarantees a position.
If you want to include us in that shortlist, start where the good agencies start, with a diagnosis. Request a free SEO audit and a human on our team will review your site and Google Business Profile. Our pricing is published, our plans are month to month, and if another firm on this page is a better fit for your situation, we'll tell you so. Fit beats hype.
