Pricing Search Engine Marketing and Optimization

Question: It’s 2005. What does it cost a company to hire an expert to improve a company’s presence on the Internet?

Our pricing and pricing for SEO services is based upon the size and complexity of the project. We provide a comprehensive program that goes beyond the basic search engine marketing 101 type services. Small to Medium sized static websites range between 15$ - 50k per year, larger dynamic sites are $40k and $120k per year. Another cost to consider in search engine marketing is the advertising pass through. Most SEM firms charge a standard 10-15% agency fee for advertising pass through and PPC ad management. We charge 5% because we're trying to minimize paid advertising spend with organic search engine optimization.
