01 Market map
Wikipedia agencies fall into four models, each with its own idea of what “finished” means. Move the slider to the price you were quoted.
Ranges: typical public prices in mid-2026 and what we see in the quotes clients bring us for a second opinion; amounts are converted from dollars and rounded. This is not market research and not a live data feed.

02 How it happens
A typical order placed through Upwork. The page itself disappears within a week, but the deletion record stays in the title's history and makes the next attempt harder.
A listing: “Wikipedia page, guaranteed”. Payment up front.
A text written in two days: a retelling of the company website, with press releases and the company's own blog as sources.
The page is created straight in the main space, with no review and no paid-editing disclosure. You get a screenshot.
A patroller adds a speedy-deletion tag: promotion and no notability.
An administrator deletes the page. The freelancer stops answering: the order is closed.
The deletion record stays in the title's log. A new article will be checked more closely, and the title may be protected against re-creation.
A typical scenario assembled from cases that come to us for recovery; not a specific client. The editor's name in the log is invented. A scheme, not a screenshot.
04 Red flags
A rejected article is usually a dead end, not a refund. Below: what goes wrong at the bottom of the market and how Wikipedia itself reacts.

06 Pricing factors
Six variables shape the price. None is hidden, and none becomes a surprise after the project starts.
Every language edition is a separate process: its own moderation, its own editors and discussions, and a text and sources adapted to local requirements. English and German Wikipedia carry the strictest notability standards, so those tiers cost the most.
A subject with existing coverage in independent, editorially reviewed outlets can move straight to drafting. A subject without that coverage needs a media strategy built first, which is a separate scope of work.
The notability bar differs for organizations versus individuals: companies need coverage of the organization itself, while individuals need proof of notability in their field. The two cases call for different sourcing work.
Each Wikipedia language edition is a separate article with its own moderation community and its own notability review, not a translation of an approved article. Multi-language projects are priced per edition, with a bundle discount.
Every WikiBusines page-creation project includes monitoring through the 90-day window after publication. Extending that coverage beyond the included period is a separate, optional annual plan.
An established company with a long trading history and a clean public record is straightforward. An early-stage subject, a controversial one, or one with thin press coverage requires more sourcing and framing work before it can be submitted.

07 Why this works
Three structural choices let us publish the full price book up front instead of building margin into surprise line items.
No subcontracting. Our 23 Wikipedia editors are direct employees, not marketplace freelancers. It shows in the result: 93% of the pages we create pass Wikipedia's review and are published, without enterprise-tier pricing.
If the source base isn't strong enough for Wikipedia's reliable-sources policy, we say no up front. No hidden extra payments: we don't take payment and then add resubmission fees when the draft fails review.
We refund 80% of the project price if a published page can't be defended after 3 attempts in the 90-day window. The clause is on the guarantees page, not buried in a side letter.

08 Why it pays off
No made-up percentages: what a Wikipedia page structurally does for a brand's presence in AI and search.
Wikipedia is one of the most consistently cited sources across AI assistants and answer engines. Without a page, a brand is either absent from AI-generated answers or described only from whatever secondary sources those models can find.
A Wikipedia page is one of the standard inputs Google draws on to build a Knowledge Panel for a brand or person. It does not guarantee a panel appears, but it removes one of the most common blockers.
Unlike a press placement, a Wikipedia page is a living document that can be kept accurate over time through the monitoring and update process, rather than a one-time piece of content that ages out of relevance.

Why this guide exists
This industry has spent a long time obscuring its own pricing. The real cost trap isn't the headline number, it's the structure: lines that are not in the proposal appear after the contract is signed. We publish the full ladder up front because the gap between what the brochure says and what the invoice says is the single biggest source of distrust in this market.
09 FAQ
The market splits into distinct tiers with very different economics. At the bottom, marketplace freelancers and generic SEO add-ons quote low because there is no dedicated Wikipedia editorial process behind the price: sourcing research, notability review and post-publish defense are skipped or minimal. At the top, US reputation firms carry office overhead, sales teams and account-management layers that get priced into the invoice on top of the same underlying editorial work. Our published price book sits in between: EU-based, in-house editors, no subcontracting markup.
The most common outcome is deletion, not a bad-but-live article. Low-cost providers frequently skip Wikipedia's notability guidelines, reuse templated article structures that get flagged by patrol tooling, and skip the conflict-of-interest disclosure Wikipedia requires from paid editors. Even when an article survives the first review, nobody is watching it afterward, so it has no defense if it is later nominated for deletion.
Rejection on first submission is common, even for well-prepared articles, and it is not billed as a separate service. Revisions and resubmission, the second and the third too, are included in the project price, and every page-creation project carries 90 days of post-publish monitoring so we can respond if the article faces an issue after it goes live. If we run out of tools and the page cannot be defended after three attempts, we refund 80% of the project price.
Each language edition is priced per our published price book rather than as a translation add-on, because each one is a separate article reviewed by a separate community. There is no hidden per-language surcharge layered on after the project starts: the rate you were quoted is the rate for the edition you need.
