Arguably one of the most well known search engine placement firms in the country, SEOMOZ is based in Seattle, but serves clients all over the world.
Using Portland’s Pearl District website as an example, Rand Fishkin has posted an excellent article about what should be included in an SEO proposal, and he’s even put in their pricing structure.
Whether you’re an SEO, or you’re a marketing manager that’s looking for search engine help for their website, this post is a “must read” to get an idea of what the top firms in the country are charging, and what they offer.
I loved that post that Rand made. I think a lot of people have been wondering what he charges for seo work.
He has some really good framework for building out a all-in-one proposal.
You’re right Scott. I know a lot of people were probably shocked at what he charges, I was real happy to see it out in the open.
I was somewhat surprised by the “full project” price, although that may be reflective of his not wanting the headache.
I especially liked the fact that he admitted to factoring in the client personality…
i really love rands post !!
its just right to the point.
i agree with every word.
