WHAT IS SEO PRICING?
SEO pricing refers to the total cost of SEO services a business pays the SEO agency or professionals for the optimization services they receive. This can be based on a monthly retainer model, or a project-based cost, or hourly rates for the activities done.
WHY BUSINESSES PAY FOR SEO?
Businesses hire SEO services to help optimize their site, make it search-friendly, rank the site and pages higher on search results for related keywords, and help bring in more inbound traffic and improve sales. The entire objective of SEO is to increase inbound website traffic and sales. And therefore deciding what to pay for, budgeting for that is a big investment decision for businesses.
Therefore, they must be fully aware of what SEO pricing is, what it entails, what different pricing modelsare, how they should choose the package and pricing, and what services they will get.
HOW MUCH DOES SEO COST?
SEO is a vast field. It includes different factors, activities, purposes, methods, and mechanisms. It is an ever-evolving field. Therefore, there can’t be a standard or set pricing for SEO services. Every other SEO campaign or project is different, its target and objective is unique, and the methodology is also specific to each SEO campaign. All this helps to determine the right SEO costing.
As a business owner, you must also comprehend that SEO is not a one-time investment. It is an ongoing process. You have to reach a position, and then defend that. You have to dig-in to keep your SEO game up. This means that you have to consistently invest in quality SEO.
Now, if you want to figure out how much SEO costs, then there is no straightforward answer to that. There are cheap and standard SEO that you may find easy on the pocket. But that can also backfire, if you don’t get desired result. On average, quality SEO does cost anywhere between $200 and $2000 per month, depending on your business type, size, target market, location presence, services required and much more.
WHAT FACTORS DEFINE SEO PRICING?
