What changes the cost
What affects the cost of SEO
- Competition. Popular search terms in a busy market need more work than niche terms.
- Number of pages. Service pages, product pages and blog posts each need checking and writing.
- Technical health. A site with broken links, slow pages or missing structure needs fixing before content can help.
- Content. How much new content is needed each month to build visibility.
- Reach. Local searches in one town are usually easier to win than national searches.
