We screened 266 businesses in the Nashville area, found 121 that offer SEO, and list three. Twelve of the 38 that qualified publish a usable monthly price, and eight rank in the top 10 or the map pack for any of the 12 Nashville SEO searches we checked. Many Nashville firms are web design shops first, so the useful question is how much of the work is SEO. This list comes from a review of the SEO agencies we could find in the Nashville, Franklin and Murfreesboro area: what they publish, what they’ve proven, what clients say, and how they rank for their own city.

The short answer For a local business that wants an SEO-first firm with a long track record, start with SEO NOW. For published prices and no contract, Right Thing SEO. For content-led SEO at a larger monthly budget, Huckleberry Branding.

Reviewed by Andrew Eagar, fractional SEO · Reviewed · Next review February 2027

No agency paid to be listed or can pay to change its position. I run a fractional SEO practice, which some businesses hire instead of an agency, so I don't rank myself here. We could not read Clutch profiles or LinkedIn for this review, so ratings rest on Google and team stability was scored as neutral for every finalist. Google reviews were sampled: up to 30 newest and 30 lowest-rated per listing. Our Google Maps pull covered about 35 km around downtown Nashville, which does not reach all of the metro's nine counties. Seventy-eight sites could not be read and were not assessed.

Why we picked them

  • Case studies with named clients and figures, such as a transport company's organic sessions up 68% year over year in 2019.
  • SEO is the core service, and its site names 13 people, from the CEO to the editorial director.

What clients say

Reviewers credit rankings and organic calls and describe an honest, knowledgeable owner; some only had a consultation. After about 3 months we were the #1 ranked course on google search. — Google reviewer, 2023

Watch-outs

Prices and contract terms aren't published. Its strongest case-study figures date from 2019 or carry no year, and most reviews that cite results are from 2021 to 2023. Nine reviews were posted around New Year 2022, five of them empty. It also lists offices in San Diego and Utah, so ask who in Nashville would do your work.

2 · Local service and B2B firms that want SEO only, with published prices and no contract

Right Thing SEO

5.0 on Google (8) · No Clutch reviews · Nashville · Founder-led

Why we picked them

  • Publishes five monthly plans from $599, with no contracts.
  • Case studies with numbers, such as a Nashville pool builder moving from page 3 to the top result.
  • SEO is the whole business, and its reviewers cite rankings and organic leads.

What clients say

Reviewers credit rankings, organic traffic and leads, and an owner who explains his reasoning. we've seen a significant increase in new organic business traffic and rankings — Google reviewer, 2025

Watch-outs

It was founded in 2023 and is run by its founder, with 8 Google reviews, five of them posted in one week of July 2025. Its link-building service includes guest-post placements. Its Nashville page carries a competitor table with an unfinished editing note, so treat that table with care.

3 · B2B, SaaS and Nashville businesses with $3,000 or more a month for content-led SEO

Huckleberry Branding

5.0 on Google (20) · No Clutch reviews · Nashville (remote team) · 4 named on its site

Why we picked them

  • Publishes its price: SEO plans from $3,000 a month after a one-time setup from $4,500, month to month.
  • Case studies with numbers, such as Search Console clicks up 786% for a software client from September 2022 to September 2023.
  • Names its team, including an SEO strategist, and explains its monthly reporting.

What clients say

Most reviewers praise branding, logo and website work; the newest that mention SEO cite higher rankings and more leads. Over the past six months, our SEO rankings have increased exponentially — Google reviewer, 2026

Watch-outs

It is the highest published entry price we found among Nashville's qualified agencies, plus a setup fee. Case-study clients are unnamed. Plan prices rise with the number of backlinks earned each month, so ask how links are won. The team is fully remote.

Before you sign

What we saw that you should watch for

None of these rules an agency out on its own, but each is worth a question before you sign.

  • Links sold by the piece Some Nashville-area firms sell backlinks by domain-rating tier or by the link, as monthly packages. Paid links break Google's guidelines; ask how links are earned and whether any are paid for.
  • Near-promises on rankings Some agencies say they can't guarantee page one but "typically" get you there, or promise results or your money back. Nobody controls Google's rankings; read what a promise actually covers.
  • "Nashville" pages from elsewhere Many firms that rank for Nashville searches are based in other states or countries, with a city landing page and sometimes a shared-office address. Ask where the people doing your work sit.
  • Web shops that list SEO as a line item Many Nashville agencies are website builders first and mention SEO only as a bullet point. Ask what monthly SEO work is included once the site launches.
  • Sites that look unfinished We found agency sites with placeholder team bios, filler text in FAQs and counters that read zero. If the site is unfinished, ask what else is.
  • Agencies that rank themselves Several publish a "best agencies in Nashville" list with their own name near the top. We gave that no credit; check lists against the reviews underneath them.

Method

How we reviewed

Every agency went through the same three rounds, each looking harder at fewer agencies.

  1. Screen. Names SEO as a service, has a Nashville-area office, active in the last 12 months, names real people, has client reviews. Guaranteed rankings or paid link schemes rule an agency out.
  2. Qualify. Proof of results, rankings for their own Nashville searches, reputation, transparency, SEO depth and awards.
  3. Deep dive. For the top 10: review text, team stability on LinkedIn, and 15 AI-assistant answers.

No agency paid to be included, and none was contacted. We re-check each quarter. Send a correction · Full methodology

FAQ

Questions, answered

How much does an SEO company cost in Nashville?

Twelve of the 38 qualified Nashville-area agencies publish a usable monthly price, from $200 to $3,000, with a median of about $950. Of the three we list, two publish a price: $599 and $3,000 a month.

How do I choose an SEO agency in Nashville?

Ask for case studies with start points and dates, and what came from search rather than a website redesign or ads. Ask for the contract length and exit terms, how links are earned and who will do the work, and read the newest reviews on the Google profile itself.

Do these agencies cover Franklin, Brentwood and Murfreesboro?

Our review covered the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin metro, using a Google Maps pull of about 35 km around downtown Nashville plus the firms that rank for Nashville SEO searches. All three agencies we list are based in Nashville.

Why are there only three agencies on this list?

We list agencies above a natural break in the scores. Many others with strong reviews were website builders with little SEO work, sold links, named no staff, showed no recent activity, or had no real local office.

How often is this list updated?

We re-review every listed agency each quarter and show the date of the last review on the page. Next review: February 2027.
