For project-based SEOs, I don't recommend it outside of one specific scenario. That scenario is "our site sucks and we're not ranking, we need help fixing things to a baseline." This is a single project where someone can swoop in and do a technical SEO audit, a backlink audit, and a penalty audit. They can identify the problems with your site and current SEO, and fix them. However, SEO is an ongoing project. You're never "done" with SEO. If nothing else, the search engines are always changing their standards and factors, so you need to adapt with the times. A project-based SEO hire works to get you up to speed, but then you need monthly SEO to keep you going. At the agency level, pricing can vary wildly. I've seen agencies charge $200 per month for basic SEO, and I've seen others charge $3, 000 per month. If they charge hourly rates, I've see anything from $50 an hour to $200 an hour, with an expected minimum of 10 hours per week, if not more. At the consultant level, prices tend to be a little cheaper, but not always. Hourly rates range from $20 an hour up to $200 an hour, and this might not always include everything. Remember that you may need to end up hiring a writer to produce content for your SEO guy to optimize. You might need to end up hiring a web designer if your guy can't do basic CSS or HTML. The larger your budget, the more you can do with SEO. You can hire multiple experts. You can hire an agency for link building and another for content marketing. You can outsource as much as possible to save on costs. You can end up getting a lot more done, and you can end up ranking in ways that would be much harder on a smaller budget. The simplest answer is that your SEO budget should be as large as possible without eating into other aspects of your business. However, there are some basic monthly costs you should anticipate. >Here are a few examples of monthly SEO expenses that you can expect: >$500 - $1, 000 for link building, if you do it in-house >$250 - $500 for content marketing, if you do it in-house >$50 - $200 per month for basic SEO tools like SEMRush, Moz, AHREFS, and others >$0 - $2, 000 per month for an SEO agency or consultant >$500 - $5, 000+ per month for a full-service digital marketing agency that does SEO as part of their service These are just some examples. Your actual monthly expenses will vary based on your business, your niche, and your competition. If you have a small budget, you might only be able to afford one or two of these things. If you have a large budget, you might be able to afford all of them. PRWire360 press release distribution services offer visibility for your news.
