How Much Should You Expect to Pay When Hiring an SEO/SEM Agency?

Pricing is something that I have had asked a lot lately and so I wanted to address this issue.

Of course, pricing is going to depend on the type of SEO "white hat" or 'black hat", how comprehensive it is to perform what the client expects and the quality of what part of the
"SEO Pie" they are working on. Ex. Link Building

So, I am going to include the links to answers to these questions - I found in MOZ.com.

Sitting In My Office Yesterday

As I sat in my office yesterday (New Years Day) getting reading to do work for a client that has expressed their frustrations with the lack of quick ROI (reason why I am working on the Holiday), I recalled a great article by Trond Lyngbø and decided to reread it, just so that I would not have to feel that I was not the only Consultant in this very dynamic profession, that had unhappy clients - especially when I feel like I bend over backwards for all my clients and try to go the extra mile to make them happy. 

The article is title "10 Things Most SEO Consultants Hate" by Trond Lyngbo and I hope it helps other Consultants and SEO Professionals, who are busting their behinds to do all they can to make their clients happy, but are still not getting paid or any good feedback. Realize that they are not alone in their frustrations when crossing paths with such clients. 

Happy New Year!!
