My SEO prices start at £500 per month. I charge on a per keyword basis which I'm told is quite unique. The reason I do this is because when you get past the technical work and onto the SEO content stage, everything is keyword focused.
I understand that some SEO companies charge based on the number of hours that they commit to you. What you need to understand here is that you may not be paying an SEO consultant cost. A junior account manager preparing a report doesn't really compare to an experienced SEO consultant undertaking a detailed audit.
I don't do cheap SEO. I know other SEO consultants do but in the SEO world a cheap SEO consultant isn't really worth having. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys. And monkeys can't do SEO (well, not very well anyway!)
I appreciate that not all projects are the same, so if you'd like a no obligation price for SEO expert consultancy then feel free to get in touch.
