As I browse around the world of SEO offers, one of the many seemingly odd things is how many of the professional SEO services companies price their services. The trend holds true also for many a local SEO services company selling their services. These organizations tend to simply overprice their services. And that seems to be the trend with no particularly obvious reason.
Absence Of Value-Driven Pricing
While I don’t have a control on what others choose to charge as fees for the services they run and control, I would refuse to charge such astronomical fees myself. It is not appropriate – it somehow sends out a negative vibe to the search engine optimization and marketing industry. Marketing and SEO are related extremely closely in the online world, so the cost of marketing needs to justify the recovery from selling. That part seems to have gone astray in many of the services run by many a professional SEO service company.
Avoid Being Overcharged
Rather than falling for overpriced SEO company service offers thinking that the extra money “should” correspond to better services, take a careful look yourself. What is the vendor offering to do for you? Which parts of the SEO activities do they cover? Do they help you on your on-page, off-page and social verticals? What kinds of guarantees are they promising you? Start asking these questions right when you see the sales letters before you get drawn too deeply into the service.
Look Before The Leap
Before you jump to avail one service ahead of another, look around. There could be better deals around. There could be other SEO companies making similar offers for more affordable prices and similar organic rank guarantees. If required, carefully investigate their social proof. How long have they been in business? Do they really have prior clients? If so then what do these clients think about the company? Are these clients still ranking?
For example, do you see a client that claimed to have ranked just a couple of months back for a certain keyword, and yet when you go to Google and type the keyword you don’t see the client’s website? If not, then that is a certain symbol of forewarning – think a few times over before you choose this professional SEO services company for marketing your website on the search engines.
Conclusion
Once you find a good vendor with verifiable track record, all-round work coverage and affordable prices, choose the vendor. This will have saved you a significant amount of search marketing money going forward.
