FAQs
Popular questions and answers about the costs involved in SEO
We understand that the packages priced above are not for everyone.
We have created a price list of every SEO service we offer and an individual price and timescale for each. This is so that regardless of your budget SEO is not unaffordable.
We also offer pay-as-you-go SEO where clients can order, for example, 5 pages of content, 10 blogs, half a dozen backlinks or simply several hours of a consultant’s time to answer a complicated SEO query or question.
If you are looking for the very cheapest SEO packages and prices, then we are not the company for you.
We offer several cheapish small business start-up SEO packages and some introductory SEO packages.
However, our team has a combined experience of over a hundred years, and several of our consultants have been working within the UK SEO industry for nearly 20 years. That level of expertise comes with a cost. For cut-price SEO click here.
We also have a very good track record showing our expertise. That being said, there are several cheap SEO companies which offer very good value-for-money packages.
However, as you’d expect for the money, they are very basic and unlikely to deliver the results you are looking for.
The honest answer is that you don’t. It is a little bit like advertising.
If we had a pound for every client who said we’d love to try SEO and if you can guarantee the results, then we will spend as much as it takes.
“If potential customers search for your services and products on Google, you will likely attract that business if you appear above your competition in a Google search.”
If the company is established and offers case studies and examples of successful work and work with companies similar to yours in size and/or in the same industry, they may be worth considering buying from.
Other considerations to include are:
- How long the business has been established?
- Are they a limited company do they have a registered office
- Do they work from home today or do they have a physical office?
- Are they prompt at answering the telephone and email?
- Have they answered every SEO question you have in sufficient detail?
The ROI formula is (profit minus cost) / SEO cost.
- Businesses that can factor in lifetime loyalty (doctors, dentists, accountants) and ROI of 3000%+ See here.
- In other businesses where returning customers is 25 %, then an appropriate ROI would be 120%.
We have seen many websites and digital marketing agencies discussing an ROI of 500%. This means that for every pound you spend on SEO, you should see a return of £1. This is rubbish.
The reality can be very different. Unlike PPC, SEO is much harder to quantify. This is because when you turn Google or Facebook ads off, any paid search traffic immediately dries up.
SEO is an investment in your website, not simply a pay-per-lead model.
Whereas all Vanilla Circus’ SEO packages come with content creation. So that even if you stop your SEO today, your website would have more pages, blogs, and backlinks than it did previously. So all this residual work has a value. But of course, how much is that worth?
A better way of looking at SEO and the way that you won’t hear any SEO companies talk about is the cost of acquisition. The cost of acquisition is the price your company has paid to secure a new client, a new piece of business, or a sale.
Simple example: you pay Vanilla Circus £1000 a month for SEO. At the end of the month your website has generated 10 new clients. The cost of acquisition is £100 per client.
Suppose that client is spending thousand pounds, then fantastic. We have an ROI of 1000%.
Alternative If a client is spending £50, we have a £500 loss. As a small business owner, you must decide on the value of either a new customer or the profit in a new sale.
An appropriate ROI for SEO can only be measured over a longer period, i.e. 1-2 years. Here we would hope to see businesses that can factor in lifetime loyalty (doctors, dentists, accountants) and ROI of 3000%+ See here.
For other businesses where the re-order rate for returning customers is 25 %, an appropriate ROI would be 120%.
Things to consider are customer lifetime values and calls and all of the physical SEO service elements that remain, i.e. content, blogs, backlinks, and images your website now has, which it didn’t have before. This is a tough question to answer.
When buying SEO on a budget is very understandable to go for the super-cheapest package.
Unfortunately, the saying buy cheap buy twice can apply. We want our search engine optimisation to be valuable to your marketing.
Imagine you are hoping to increase your turnover by 20%.
Can you realistically expect a £99 per month low-cost SEO package to deliver what, even for the very smallest business, +20% is going to equate to more than £15,000+.
Put a different way, Vanilla Circus will quite happily give you £99 a month if you are going to deliver £15,000 worth of revenue to us.
