How Much Does SEO Cost?

I will start by talking about cheap SEO and marketing packages which seem so popular these days. This article is intended to open your mind about inexpensive and low-cost Search Engine Optimization and marketing packages designed for smaller businesses.

You may have been offered SEO services which seem like they are the greatest bargain you have ever seen. At the same time, you could have been quoted a much higher price for SEO from different companies and you want to know why and what is the difference.

There is no “easy or simple” way to increase your rankings even though you may have many agencies telling you they can get it done. Placing your website at the top of the Google search results must be planned carefully, submitted to local and nationwide directories and combined with strategic link building, content creation, marketing, social popularity and data analysis among other parameters.

Cheaper “SEO companies” will offer what may seem like a bunch of value for your money such as site evaluation, no contracts, great communication, weekly traffic reports, site enhancements for better placement, guaranteed first page placement, increased rankings in the Google results and many other features.

Overall and from afar it may seem that it is an awesome deal and these companies may charge from $200-$800 per month. Guaranteed results? I’m in! No contract? Awesome! Increased rankings? Let’s do it! In a perfect world getting these services would provide your company with greater revenue and more clients giving you a way to expand your business and eventually take over your industry. I mean who wouldn’t take the offer right? … Wrong!

See, the way these companies do it is by grabbing as many clients as they can, running them through their system, by the time the clients realize this isn’t working they just rinse and repeat. They already have a new batch of clients who haven’t become smart about SEO yet and are also willing to take advantage of the great deal you just witnessed fail and they’re going to continue to do the same thing over and over.

The sales pitch is always great, but you need to know that the labor required to do good SEO is not available at that price point. Citation submissions, creating good quality content, generating solid backlinks, planning, analyzing and strategizing take time. You must understand that SEO takes time. Starting from your domain name age to the age and quality of the links to your site, SEO is very time consuming and tedious work. If you want to do it right stop thinking about spending less and start looking for a good SEO company that can provide you with in-depth optimization, great backlink campaigns and a true form of optimizing your website. Keep in mind that only because a cheap SEO company can offer you thousands of links, that doesn’t mean it is the correct strategy. Cleaning up thousands of bad links later can really put a dent in your pocket so consider yourself warned!
