What is the pricing for SEO services?

Yeah, we’re guilty of asking broad questions like that too. And the answer you’ll hear from me is the same as when you go to the dentist and say “my tooth hurts, how much will it cost to fix it?”

The answer is: “It depends.”

Any company who offers a guaranteed result, or a flat-rate pricing structure is doing a crappy job.

You’re paying for a canned report that some $8/hr admin is plugging your site’s domain name into and it’s not going to help you. Many of these reports from what people may consider “reputable” SEO companies (although they aren’t, considering this practice) cost $1500 and up, and provide about $20 worth of value - if that.

Some of the factors that can influence the cost of SEO for your web site:

  • How is your site constructed? (Large amount of static pages, database driven, etc)
  • Do you have a programmer or designer who will be implementing the changes required, or do you want us to do them?
  • What amount of changes is necessary to your code or site structure?
  • How poorly indexed is your site currently?
  • Can we accomplish what we need with just internal linking, or do we need to focus on link acquisition?
  • How much hand-holding do you require? If we are constantly in meetings, it’s going to be reflected by hours in billing.

If you retain mika, INC for Search Engine Optimization Services we like to work on an hourly retainer and are happy to provide a pre-engagement estimate. We feel this is the most fair way to work, since you will only pay for actual services performed.
