How much do SEO marketing guys charge?

Interesting enough got an email for Microsoft Gold Partners for an SEO mob to help googlisation.

There are so many simple ways to enhance your googlisation.
The wrong ways mean alot of work and little business.
The right ways are easier and add to your profits.

These SEO guys were charging between $1,400 to $3,000:
The $1,400 version just gave you a report each month for 6 months.
The $3,000 one also included 10 hours of consultation.

And to think that there is a free download for .net guys that runs this in seconds on a site!

It is easy to see why everyone is worried about SEO!
The internet is just another marketing mechanism and marketing/advertising requires a few simple principles in order to be EFFECTIVE.

Yes, you can drive 50,000 visitors a month and only get 3 to 5 phones calls or emails.
One can also generate 2,000 visitors a month and get 25 to 50 phone calls or emails.

We know because we can generate the later.

The maths is really simple…Less work and 10 times the business walking in the door.

Q: Is it easy to learn SEO tricks?
A: This keeps changing so you need an expert.

Q: Is it easy to learn EFFECTIVE internet marking tricks to get hot prospects clicking on your site?
A: This requires marketing smarts..and a little psychology.

The most common problem people do with their web sites is not doing anything!
Get it up and out there no matter what..It can also be improved and tweaked.
Just the act of editing it occasionally is often all you need to do to get the Googlisation working.

SEO is also misleading…Some keywords are easier than others…how do you know what ones work?
Googlisation for Generating Business requires someone with search engine knowledge plus marketing smarts and checking once a month what people are doing.
A little bit each month is all that is required to knock even big names out of the water(internet searches). You can't just set it up and hope to get to the top and stay at the top.

So we could say focus on the keywords "SEO Sydney" or "SEO Australia" but would that be useful? The clients we want are those that are referred. Again another trick to using the internet is that referrals are King. But how do you generate referrals via the Internet? Too many questions for tonight…Till my nest post….
