Title: Why are SEO services so expensive????
Post by: 50stateautoloan on 11-23-2012, 23:31:05
Hello friends,

SEO is a highly-specialized craft requiring much research, forethought, skill and can be extremely time-consuming to implement correctly.

However, compared to offline and print advertising, SEO is quite cheap. The cost of having your website SEO optimized is by far the best advertising dollars spent and the return on your investment (ROI) can be great.:)

 Seo is expensive because its difficult, simple.
Also, the more white hat your methods are, the more expensive it gets - for example the difference between spinning articles for web 2.0s and making real web 2.0s with all unique content is a massive difference in cost.

Some SEO customers really receive nothing consequently, truly. Others get a SEO benefit that enters your site and a couple of catchphrases into a robotized program that basically produces connects everywhere throughout the Internet. Your site may rank for up to 14 days and afterward it drops the distance down to page 20. Others charge modest expenses since they outsource their administrations to considerably less expensive and crappier administrations abroad.

Costly is a relative term, however that doesn't prevent individuals from tossing it around frequently. Indeed, even a shoddy auto is costly contrasted with, say, a jar of pop.

If you've been hounded by salesmen calling you about ranking with SEO, you've probably entertained a few of them on the costs and benefits of their SEO plans. If you're visiting my website looking for an expensive SEO expert then you're probably not happy with what you've heard so far or you're sick and tired of dealing with the scams regular SEO companies run.

The reason is simple. From time to time, Google is being so advanced and to rank the website is becoming so tough through organic. It has now been very difficult to use black hat techniques. Google catches it and penalizes your site. Content should not be of low quality or plagiarized. So these restriction made SEO so tough that's why its services have now been expensive.

because SEO is the most technical part of digital marketing to achieve in SEO you need to make the best site for a given keyword and ensure the internet speaks about that site in a particular way - if someone is offering you cheap SEO services it is likely they are spamming you to get short-lived results- SEO today is very strategic/technical and needs a lot of technology tuning and analytical tools that start at 200 dollars per month.

I would say because it takes a lot of work and know how to do it right.

But honestly... the real reason why it is so expensive is because people are willing to pay a fortune to rank 1. Ranking one means you will get rich (of course depending what you rank 1 for.).
So people will offer small fortunes for help.

I ranked 1 for my very competitive niche in 3 months. I did work no SEO company would ever be willing to do. Goes to show...

If you ask me SEO is expensive in the short term but if you have long-term goals it's cheap and much better than Adwords.
Also depends what type of company you have. SEO is not for everyone and not every business should be doing it same as paid advertising is not for every business.
So before doing anything you need to know what your goals are and what you are trying to achieve it and if its worth it.

Also, I agree with people above SEO is expensive because its difficult and takes time.
It takes years to truly master it to build a portfolio and proof that you can actually rank sites.

Hope that helps  !-!

SEO is expensive for two reasons. First it has to be done on a regular basis if you want your ranking not to fall in searches and if you want to get valuable back links. In both cases, you will need to measure if your key words are relevant, which ones to modify or add and for back links you will have to create content and engage with others. Secondly, it will be expensive as you might need to hire someone, a community manager to revise SEO and do SEA or AdWords campaigns which will cost you money. With all the trends and consumer habits evolving all the times, like now with voice searches, you need to spend time checking the new trends and modify SEO in respect to it. Latent semantic indexing and long trails can not be ignored.

SEO is expensive for high competitive keywords...if you are targeting a low competitive keyword then you can yourself use SEO technique and bring traffic to your blog...On page SEO is easy...many websites owners spend a lot of money just to get high quality backlinks (off page SEO) to their blog or website...blogs with high competitive keywords are not easy to rank and hence the role of an SEO consultant or analyst is important to increase the rank of the website.

SEO is not expensive if we compare it with other PPC programs and it is very cheap and has more ROI than any other marketing techniques

Quality SEO Services comes with high pricing because the company which provides best SEO services invest very much in the content, advanced SEO tools and expert resources. Also the Search Engine Optimization has been changed very much since 2012 with Google algorithm updates like Panda, Penguin, Hummingbird, Broad Core and many more to come in future. It has become a tough task to be on top in the organic results where every business has their online presence. The competition to be on the first position in Google SERPs has increased with the world going digital.

Expensive is relative. To some businesses $2500 per month for SEO is not a lot, for someone else it's a fortune.

$2500 a month for a restaurant may not make sense, since their average customer only spends $20 - $40 with them. They would need to get 70-125 new customers each month just to get an ROI.

However for a surgeon, 1 patient can bring in $5,000 - $20,000+. So they $2,500 per month for them isn't expensive. They only need a handful of new patients to get an ROI.

Why is SEO so expensive? SEO is so expensive for three reasons: It takes time to show results, it requires a lot of resources to build and maintain a campaign, and it often relies on the expertise of an SEO specialist to develop and grow your strategy.
