There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the size and scope of your startup, as well as your specific marketing goals.

However, a reasonable SEO budget for a startup could be anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000. Additionally, you will also need to factor in other cost associated with running a business such as office space and employee salaries.

However, on average, a small business with no more than 10 employees can expect to spend around $2,000 per year on SEO. For businesses with up to 50 employees, the budget can range from $5,000 to $10,000 annually; while businesses with more than 50 employees can expect to spend above that annually on SEO.
