Maybe pay-for-performance SEO services or SEO retainer services just don’t fit your budget or current needs.

Our fixed price search engine optimization (SEO) services aim to help small business owners and professionals who want to achieve effective SEO efforts, but not with a monthly financial commitment or long-term agreement.

Although we don’t recommend fixed price SEO services, also known as one-time SEO efforts, because we firmly believe to achieve optimal results that website owners must be willing to invest, implement, execute and measure SEO efforts on an ongoing basis.

However, we totally understand and respect the resource challenges small business owners and professionals face in terms of committing time, money and effort to make their SEO efforts a profitable, lasting success.

What are fixed price SEO services?

Our fixed price SEO services are designed to give you a firm SEO foundation to then build upon should you have the necessary in-house resources to implement ongoing do-it-yourself SEO efforts.

Should you not have in-house SEO staff capable of ongoing SEO efforts, then our fixed price SEO services are tailored to be rendered at a project-by-project basis as you have time, money and effort.

So in short, as you have funds to have SEO work completed, the work is completed.

How do fixed price SEO services work?

Our fixed price SEO services are as follows:

1. We start by performing a very thorough SEO website audit designed to show us the good, bad and ugly of your website as it pertains to SEO.
2. We deliver and review a comprehensive report, at no charge, of the performed SEO website audit with you, pointing out the various areas for improvement.
3. We identify low-hanging SEO inefficiencies that can bring about the most change and greatest impact in terms of search rankings.
4. We prioritize these SEO inefficiencies as well as give insight via an itemized and detailed quotation for what it will take to have the services performed and SEO inefficiencies performed by Kickstart Commerce.
5. Once you’re ready to move forward, you simply let us know which services and SEO inefficiencies will best meet and align to your current business needs.
6. We’ll perform the work per the agreement as well as walk you through a before and after to verify and validate the work has been performed per the agreement.
7. And once the work has been validated by you the customer, then payment is rendered. That’s it, that easy.

The downside to fixed price SEO services

Again, we don’t think it’s in the best interest of customers to perform one-time SEO efforts.

History has shown that one-time SEO efforts tend to stall out long-term and not drive the results small business owners are looking to achieve in terms of increased search rankings and traffic.

Many times, this stop and go approach to SEO can be more expensive in the long run and on drive a fraction of the results of an ongoing SEO effort.

However, we totally understand and respect that resources can be stretched thin, and one must do what they can until a better opportunity presents itself to move to an ongoing SEO effort.

I never fail to receive an email or phone call from a potential customer asking me how much search engine optimization (SEO) services are or what the going rate is for SEO service offerings.

Most of the time, I answer their question about whether they aim to save money on SEO or drive tangible and profitable results using SEO.

Sometimes potentials then explain that they are on a very tight budget and looking to get the biggest bang for their buck without breaking the bank and their existing search rankings if any exist.

However, most conversations I classify as tire kickers because potential customers are truly not after sound SEO services as much as they are trying to make the price of SEO fit their understanding and budget of what a small business should pay for SEO services.

If you own or operate a local business and are in need of increasing local SEO and search rankings for your business, then you’ll definitely want to continue reading why paying per lead using local SEO is the most sound investment your small business can make.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to raise my head and breathe.

Things around here at Kickstart Commerce are kicking into high gear with local SEO, converting more pay-for-performance SEO customers.

And why are customers choosing pay-for-performance SEO to boost their local SEO efforts?

Pay for performance SEO services, also known as performance-based SEO, is nothing new under the sun. Some call it pay for results or pay for rankings.

Nevertheless, the goal of pay for performance SEO services is lessening the risk of standard SEO services by requiring customers to not pay until they have been ranked.

This sounds good at first glance, as pay for performance SEO services sounds like a no brainer that is sure to keep money in your pocket until SEOs perform their work.

I mean after all, companies have pay for performance pay structures that pay regular or bonus pay based on meeting certain company objectives.

So surely if it works for companies paying employees, then surely pay for performance can work for SEO services.

To some extent, we’ve all had an experience with some sort of pay for performance type of an agreement.

Some of us have had good experiences while others have had either bad or downright nightmares of being had by pay for performance agreements.

In this post, I share my top six (6) reasons why pay for performance SEO services fail for both SEOs and customers, and how both parties should go about structuring sound pay for performance SEO services and agreements to ensure a real “win-win” scenario and working relationship.

I receive many inquiries and phone calls on a weekly basis from potential customers asking about pay for performance search engine optimization (SEO).

Some think that there is fine print and hidden strings attached to such a too good to be true SEO offer.

Some have never heard of such a SEO offering, and think that it is a scam of some sort.

Some are skeptical based on previous experience with a SEO professional or firm that took advantage of their company using deceptive SEO practices.

Some knew about and even asked for deceptive SEO strategies and practices all for the sake of making money.

All the while, others unknowingly were taken advantage of with a $99 SEO offer that was too good to be true by some fly-by-night SEO company or a Fiverr deal promising traffic – not qualified traffic.

But for every bad experience, there are customers who have yet to experience the good, the bad and ugly of SEO.

And before you have a nightmare experience, or should you have already experienced one, I’ll tell you point blank why pay for performance is your best option.

“Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half.”
John Wanamaker

It can be downright frustrating at times to determine how effective traditional advertising is period.

However, determining advertising effectiveness and how potential customers arrive at your website does get somewhat easier in terms of SEO services and search marketing.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said or thought the above words John Wanamaker spoke long ago about advertising.

More importantly, I receive daily calls and emails from potential customers wanting to know why search engine optimization or SEO services cost so much.

It can be a challenge to figure out and get a firm understanding and handle of the various attributes that contribute to the rising costs of internet or inbound marketing, more specifically known as search engine optimization or SEO services.

In today’s post, I hope to shed light on the various pricing methods for SEO services as well as briefly discussing the attributes to account for to determine SEO services costs.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is do or die for most businesses, and a very critical resource and facet of the internet marketing strategy.

Many small businesses use a variety of effective SEO Tools and heavily depend on SEO to increase website rankings across a multitude of search engines.

Without proper SEO, it is extremely difficult to achieve first page rankings across multiple search engines due to the ever-growing competition.

And add in the constant changes in search algorithms imposed by search engines, and your website could find itself on a never-ending SEO roller coaster, drastically moving up and down for a variety of keywords.

To help their website gain SEO relevance and rank well in search engines, companies make use of many search engine optimization tools and methods.

Most SEO tools have been developed by SEO experts as a way to help others lacking SEO expertise to perform SEO without having to learn each and every aspect of SEO as a strategy.

Now widely available to most Internet users, search engine optimization tools are available via desktop applications, software plug-ins, or browser extensions.

And with the treasure trove of search engine optimization tools on the market, there also comes a wide variety of prices.

From free to monthly to annual to one-time fees, it can be quite a daunting task to review and compare SEO tools, and choose the best SEO tool according to your business and SEO needs.

As with most internet marketing tools, most offer SEO tools and software using the “freemium” model, a blend of “free” and “premium” meaning free to download and use but for to be a premium user, you have to pay a fixed or monthly fee.

Today, I’m going to quickly discuss and give you a few “freemium” SEO tools to try out and use for your website as a part of your SEO efforts.
