SEO Pricing

How Much Should You Spend for SEO?

It's hard for the average business owner to get past the smoke and mirrors to the facts when you are looking for an SEO expert. Most companies don't publicize their prices because they know they'd scare you away if they did. While it's true that a higher level plan means faster progress, it's also true that a very affordable plan can be effective. It depends on how much of a hurry you are in.

Why Are SEO Plans Billed Monthly?

SEO is done in increments because it evolves over time. Also, search algorithms frequently change, and we have to adjust our tactics in response. Even after a successful SEO effort, your search ranking should be assessed periodically, because results are always subject to change as others, like your competitors, optimize their web sites, too.

What To Ask When Choosing an SEO Provider

When you are interviewing people to choose someone to improve your search ranking, we suggest asking these questions. You should be able to get very specific answers - otherwise, run!

• What are the general steps you are going to take to promote me?
• Exactly what are you going to do to my web site?
• What are you going to do outside of my web site?
• How much time are you going to spend on my project each month?
• What reports will I get every month?
• How fast will I see results?

SEO Is Part Art, Part Science

Optimizing a web site for search involves a long list of technical tasks, but there are also judgments to be made as your optimization plan evolves and skill involved in making the right choices to get good results.

Every SEO challenge is different, depending on variables like what your industry or focus is, the number of pages to be optimized, how popular your keyword search terms are, and the size of your geographic area.

How We Optimize Your Web Site

Step 1. Set Up Tools

The first step is to discover what the best keyword and phrases are for you to promote. Our tools tell us how many local searches are done for each word or phrase so we can choose to promote those that are most popular.

Step 2. On-Page Optimization

Your web pages have to be optimized, so that the search engines will recognize them as a worthy destination when found and rank them highly for your keywords. This can be improved fast with a one-time intensive effort, or done a little at a time, month to month.

Step 3. Off-Page Optimization

Your site is optimized at this point and ready to be promoted. Off-page optimization is about your authority on the web, determined by where you are mentioned on other sites.

SEO Plans

Our plans include customized SEO — not a cookie cutter approach. The level you choose will depend on your budget and your urgency for seeing improved ranking. We can help you assess what will work best for you. This is really a fantastic value for small and micro-businesses.

What do you get with a 6-12 month plan?

• On-Page and Off-Page Optimization (Steps 1-3 above)
• Interactive monthly progress reports

A higher rate buys you more work every month and faster progress, but even at this low rate you will see improvements in your search ranking.
