What price would you quote for SEO on google

Resurrection · 09-20-2007, 08:13 AM

I need to know people who are capable of doing excellent SEO for google to get excellent results.

How much would you quote for a 10 page brochure site?

What time scale would you quote to show excellent results?

Cheers

Are you asking for a quote for your own site? Or are you asking in general for what to charge others?

Generally to charge to others.. To know about the Rates in the World..

It depend on many things - how competative are your keywords, how is your site, is it new/old, needs a lot of meta tags work on it... You will have to show your site to an SEO company and let them know whats your goal keywords, only then you will be able to get a price. It can be anywhere between 500 - 5000$...

it depends on the status of the site... usually there is no exact time for the result...

Depends on what you have done really I would say it can be between a month to 3 months.

There is WAY too little info here.

Has the site been penalized? How competitive are the keyowrds? What forms of linking have been done already. How tough is content to generate?

And most importantly? How valuable is it to the customer to have their site at the top! Folks who HAVE to have their site their tend to pay more...

Okay..Consider an Example:

One has a Directory Submission service site.. It has 100 odd backlinks, no PR etc..

What do I charge to make it come on google top 10? That is, this one has very competitive keywords..Tell me

Ok, You mislead me, at first you asked for people capable of SEO & what we would charge you (Made me think it was a personal project question)

Then you asked us what we think "YOU" should charge.............

First off, while some SEO companies may have set services for a set price... Depending on the services needed will equate to the grand total.

On the other hand, All professional SEO companies have a set Per Hr. rate. This rate is used for large jobs that require a bit more than a set software usage rate & more hands on.

Calculate your Hourly rate by the estimated time it normally takes you to optimize & rank a site of the caliber you are referencing us to.

You have not provided enough details....

The statement:

Makes me think that you should send them to a professional. If you don't know what or how to charge for your own services, then, well, I wouldn't hire you!

Just my opinion... I think you should sit down & do a business plan along with research & study a bit more before getting into the SEO Business...

Good luck though...

While what Scorpion was sounds harsh. What he says is true. I would base it on what I think (hour wise) it would take to get the job done and by what level of employee. I'd put the billable hourly rate in and if they wanted an EXACT number, I'd make sure that I had enough room to cover most contingencies.

Also, i don't always sell my services by the hour. There are some instances **cough**real estate**cough** where I have the ability to joint venture easily on projects and that way they don't pay a dime unless and until I produce.

And I make damn sure I produce.

Tons of variability here and that's why we are (or at least I am) being so cautious about answering a hypothetical question with a concrete answer.
