1000 to seo the front door of a site for a major term is well worth 1000 to most 'businesses'

yep we sure do GURANTEE POSITION, that is top 50, anyone guaranteeing page one is either a fraud or paying someone off

if you can't guarantee top 50 then what are you doing?

there are some doing seo that can't hit top 50, we hit it all the time without trying too hard, however, if we have to guarantee it (even though we say your site should be in it) and the end result is we have to keep redoing a page that was done right, well we want to get paid

if a keyword for a business is light it's the base rate, if it is a hard word it goes up, if it's one of the words everyone wants then we charge a ton

what I was trying to do is see if enough of you have evolved to having a fee structure

ours is X for consults (x is variable depending on word)

actual seo work that should hit top 50 is Y which is 10 times X

now we imply to our clients they 'should' get top 50, but if they want to bust stones and want a 'guarantee' then we will for 10 times Y

first one is often obtained but a business with a hard word should benefit from top 50, the only reason we would be that far back is due to it being one of the real hard words that many are seo'ing for

so it's all relative, since no one answered in a chart type answer, I guess no one is really doing seo with set rates like ours

around 5 people today asked about seo work on their page

we hit them all the same way, yep, you got major seo mistakes it's X for a detailed consultation

It's Y if you want us to fix it

It's Z if you want guaranteed results

Now if there's a better way of charging for SEO only impress me with your rate formula

For years we used SEO to close design deals, it's a throw in for clients

Now we're developing a ton of SEO sites to sell a book and move some sheep around, so if anyone has a handle on the best way to quote rates I'll all ears or eyeballs
