SEO and Cost

The word seo is written on scrabble tiles on a wooden table.

What determines the cost “Investment" into SEO?

Ever heard about outrunning a bear? If you’re in the woods with your friends and an angry bear starts chasing you, then how fast do you need to run?

Doesn't matter just outrun your friends. No one-size-fits-all solution there.


1 - Competitors. 
In a more competitive industry, then, unfortunately, you’ll have to invest more in your SEO. You’ll have to work harder to create a more relevant webpage and to build up your domain authority than a business in a less competitive industry.

2- How many offices or locations
> Ranking local Google Business Profiles for each location
> Maintaining other directory listings for each site.
> Building additional citations


3 - Multiple Products or Services?
> Expanding your reach by targeting 
> Build separate web pages for each product or service.
> Analyze the competition


There is no one-size-fits-all resolution for SEO. As a result, the range in fees is quite broad. For businesses in less competitive industries, with one location and a limited number of services, the investment for SEO fees is often in the range of $1500 + a month. 

For businesses in more competitive industries, targeting multiple locations and a more comprehensive range of services with larger websites, the investment could start at $5500 + a month.

Determining your need and how fast you want to get there.
