An infograph has recently been published on a large number of agencies who offer search engine optimisation services and the results are based on how much they charge clients.
The findings derive from a global SEO pricing survey by SEOMoz which covered 500 consultancies from around the globe but the below infograph specifically relates to 81 digital marketing agencies in the UK. So with regards to SEO, how much does it actually cost?
The general consensus was that 70.4% of firms use a monthly retainer charging model with 69.1% of those surveyed charging on a project-base. A majority 56.8% priced their SEO services on an hourly rate with 51.9% having a fixed fee.
How much does it specifically cost though? Well 19.8% of those asked said that their hourly rate was £49-£65. And of those who charge on a project-base, 8.6% have the fee of £324- £485, £970- £1615, and £6461- £9691.
The study further found that those who charge a monthly retainer, 12.3% charge £162-323 and 12.3% have the price of £1616- £3230.
All this is based on the fact that 22.2% of the SEO agencies have between 2-5 active clients and 25.9% had been operating 1-2 years.
