- Content spend a year
- $96,000
How to read the result
The second number is the one to manage. Publishing more pages lowers the first figure and can leave the second untouched if the extra pages do not rank.
Include the time your own team spends briefing, reviewing and publishing. Those hours are usually the largest cost that never appears on an invoice.
The formula
SEO and AI searchCost per page = monthly content spend ÷ pages published.
Cost per page-one page = monthly content spend ÷ (pages published × share that reach page one).
