So what’s a fair SEO price?
The price of an SEO campaign involves many steps, including:
- Industry analysis
- Competition analysis
- Keyphrase research
- Keyphrase selection
- Keyphrase implementation (title tags, meta tags, website copy, etc)
- Linkbuilding
- Search engine submission
- Directory submission
- Monitoring and reporting
Now if you ask me the priority, I would suggest that each of them is equally important and fundamental to your campaign. It has been observed that a good-value SEO campaign made by an experienced web developer costs from $2,000 to $10,000 up front, which depends upon the competition and center point of your market.
A simple way to judge is that when you see a lower quote that means the web developer is not experienced enough to gain the best results you desire. Similarly a higher quote is a strong indication that the agency is too large to offer a competitive price.
Basic (presence on search engines for relevant terms)
- $2,000-$4,000 setup / $500-$800 quarterly
Advanced (top 5 ranking for specific search terms)
- $4,000-$6,000 setup / $800-$1400 quarterly
Market Leader (no holds-barred, all-out national SEO blitz)
- $6,000-$10,000 setup / $1400-$3000 quarterly
Selection an SEO provider might get tougher than you can imagine. Simplest reason behind this is that quotes vary widely. Only in Pennsylvania an average SEO prices range from a couple thousand dollars to well built handsome five-figure amount and since it is difficult to decide that would you actually get its worth or not it becomes more difficult.
Now one may ask if it
