SEO Pricing & Costs: How Much Should You Pay?
The prices themselves are all across the board, however here’s SEOmoz’s take on the general ranges and we tend to agree:
| Service | Low End | Mid Range | High End |
| Site Review + Consulting | $500 | $2,500 | $10,000 |
| Hands-On Editing of Pages/Code | $2,000 | $10,000 | $50,000 |
| Manual Link Building Campaign | $500 | $5,000 | $20,000 |
| 1-Day SEO Training Seminar | $750 | $4,000 | $12,000 |
| Keyword Research Package | $100 | $500 | $2,000 |
| Viral Content Development + Mktg | $1,000 | $7,500 | $20,000 |
| Web Design, Development + Mktg | $5,000 | $25,000 | $100K+ |
| Monthly Retainer for Ongoing SEO | $2,500 | $7,500 | $20,000+ |
You obviously might see the incredibly wide discrepancy of prices above and think, if you’re a potential client,
that the prices on the high end are evil, greedy SEOs gouging customers foolish enough to fall for their machinations.
Likewise, as a company that has been doing SEO for over 16 years now, and we know the time and effort it takes to do a
great job and practice best standards, we might look and think that some of the folks on the low end or mid range are
insane to offer such valuable, time-consuming services for so little.
With that said, rather than have a client attempt to pick and chose services as important as SEO, as if they were at a
Las Vegas Buffet, we prefer to do provide a thorough analysis of a clients business, allowing us to customize a
plan that is right for their business and budget. We are continuously striving to offer our clients value, and
at the same time, under promising and over delivering at every opportunity. We employ a team of experts. Each year we spend a substantial amount of our budget on continuing education to keep each of our Certified Professional Team Members on top of the Industry.

On Being Selective: You might be surprised to find out that we just won’t work with you because you might have a big pocket book. We only work with a limited number of clients as we want to give each of our clients the time they deserve.Our criteria for working with new clients are as follows: One is time. Do we have enough time to get the project you need done or do we need to put you on a calendar to make sure we can give your project the attention it needs? Secondly, we look at your industry. Do we feel there is a market? Do you have a product or service that we feel is ethical? There are certain industries we won’t work with based on either one or both of those factors. The third factor is you. Since this is a potentially long term relationship, we need to feel that we can work with you and help you.
