SEO Pricing for Low Budget

Among the advantages of SEO is its availability. SEO is affordable for any business nowadays. SEO pricing for low budgets depends on experience and business conditions of an SEO company. Low budget can be stipulated by several reasons: • low business margin • limited marketing budget on the whole • caution: customers often avoid investing considerable amounts in SEO from the very beginning • narrow subject area: low competitiveness of queries allows low costs.

Low budget does not imply low efficiency. If an SEO campaign is well planned and conducted, a customer will receive high target traffic and necessary conversion without impressive investments. There three ways to low SEO pricing: • sticking to medium- and low-frequency queries • geotargeting • weakening of promotion criteria

It should be noted that the higher promotion criteria are, the more risks an optimizer takes. That’s why the price of SEO services increases, to provide reserve funds in case if a company will have to promote a customer’s website at its own expense. Weakening the criteria one can reduce SEO budget but it leads to growing risks on behalf of a customer. When selecting keywords it’s possible to apply two approaches: focusing on high-frequency queries or low-frequency ones. The first approach requires more considerable investing and many optimizers believe that it is more efficient. However, it is not always true to fact.

There is a concept named Long Tail according to which the sales volume of broad range of little-known goods is larger than the sales volume of best-sold ones. Applying to SEO this concept means that several low-frequency queries attract more visitors than high-frequency ones. As a rule, promoting by low-frequency queries requires less funding than promoting by high-frequency queries in a competitive subject area. It is provided by the fact that in case with low-frequency queries the link budget is not significant. Another key factor is that narrower queries usually are more target ones, they provide higher level of visitors’ conversion into clients. Focusing on a certain region is quite effective as well. Some business areas are very specific and their offers are interesting in a limited geographic segment only.

To build an efficient cooperation with a client if SEO budget is low it is necessary to inform him of the following: • It is more important for an optimizer to know the goal of sales than the positions a customer desires to reach by key queries • Low target traffic is more valuable than high “accident” traffic • High-frequency queries are not always target ones • Visitors from the regions beyond your sphere of interests are not target ones • Conversion of visitors by low-frequency queries is often higher than by high-frequency ones • Practice proves that the most effective promotion is the promotion by a balanced group of subject queries, both low- and high-frequency ones.
