Where these prices sit
Delante, a European SEO agency, reported in March 2026 that small and medium businesses typically pay €1,500 to €2,500 a month, with larger or more competitive work running to €10,000 and more, and international projects needing bigger budgets. Seybold, a German agency, lists international and e-commerce projects from €10,000 a month.
Transit sits a little above that small-business range; Global stays below the €10,000 starting point Seybold quotes, because we plan and manage the work rather than writing every page ourselves. What each plan covers is described on localisation, multilingual SEO, content and international SEO.
A month on each visa
| Visa | Typical month |
|---|---|
| Transit | One or two markets: localisation brief, glossary upkeep, a set of reviewed pages, hreflang checks and a written monthly report |
| Residence | Up to four markets: everything in Transit, keyword research per language, native review rounds and Search Console set-up for each version |
| Global | Five markets or more: everything in Residence, a market-by-market rules note each quarter, and planning for the next launches |
Translation by native-speaking translators is quoted per market on top of the plan, because volumes vary so much between catalogues.
Choosing a visa
Transit suits a brand testing its first market abroad, or fixing an existing translated site that is not performing. Residence suits a brand committed to a handful of markets, usually neighbours that share delivery and payment set-ups. Global suits groups selling across much of Europe, where coordination is half the work. The free market review usually shows which fits; if Transit is enough, we will say so, and moving up later takes effect from the next invoice.
Fees, VAT and notice
Fees are in euros and invoiced monthly at the quoted rate, with VAT shown on the invoice where it applies. A three, six or twelve month term lowers the monthly fee for that period. After any fixed term, either side can end the engagement with a month's written notice. Our terms give the exact wording.
How translation is priced
Translation and native review are priced per market and per word count, because catalogues differ enormously: a shop with fifty products and one with five thousand need very different budgets. Before any translation starts, we list the pages in the first phase, estimate the words, and send a quote from the native translators we would use. You approve it in writing before any words are translated. Reused text, such as shared product specifications and care instructions, is translated once through translation memory and reused, which lowers the cost of larger catalogues over time.
Not in any plan
- Help getting round a country's age checks or blocks

Questions
How do these prices compare?
Delante, a European agency, puts typical retainers for small and medium businesses at €1,500 to €2,500 a month and says international work needs higher budgets. Seybold, a German agency, starts international projects from €10,000.
Is translation included?
Translator management is included from Residence up. The translation itself is billed at each translator's rate, which we agree with you first.
Is VAT included?
No. VAT is added where it applies, depending on where your business is registered.
What counts as a market?
One country or language version with its own URLs. A single French version serving France and Belgium counts as one.
