Starting SEO Business

Learn how to start SEO business (my report) – Many crucial things to be prepared: planning, setup, SEO techniques and many more.

Talking about SEO is never ended and there were always debates about it. Each person has their own experience, they found one SEO method works and another doesn’t. If you have found one or several methods that work, then you are great. Because search engine traffic is a gold mine, it’s free highly targeted traffic. Yups, anyone knew the search engine traffic potential.

Many business owners are lazy to jump into SEO game or they don’t have time to do Search Engine Optimization. Moreover I found some SEO companies gave the SEO responsibility to other third parties (other SEO services), because they don’t have time to optimize their own website. It’s just little examples that doing SEO business is a big potential.

Starting SEO Business

I have been doing SEO since I start my online business journey. Early this year I have planned to build my own SEO business. With provisions from my experiences and track records to bring my pages on the first page of Google, articles and ebooks, and last is the “SEO Business Box” – a guide to run SEO Business – by Daniel Tan, Dave Scott and Wei Joo.

Lately I have received several SEO projects although I have not started my SEO business yet. I think it could be a nice opportunity, their progress and their successful could be my portfolio. Several questions came in my mind regarding to proposal, agreement, reporting, how I determine the fee, and many more. Of course too many things to explain here, I’ll only reveal my method to determine the pricing model (Yups, it’s one of the most difficult choices). I’ll also show you some SEO companies as reference, I think the examples can give you (as well as me) a good idea.

Rank Pay

Rank Pay is a performance-based SEO service. No long-term contracts. If client’s pages don’t rank, they don’t pay. Pricing is based upon the improved rankings achieved for each keyword. Their SEO tool provides upfront pricing and no set-up fees. Pricing is locked for the six month program, and will not change. Please visit Rank Pay website to learn more.

Submit Edge

Submit Edge charges depending upon the keyword competiveness, starting from $199. You can see how the SEO process here. Please visit Submit Edge website to learn more.

Rankin Google

Rankin Google charges monthly, the price depends on number of Keywords and keyword competition. They guarantee on Google first page ranking on 6 months SEO. Please visit Rankin Google website to learn more.

My Method

I emphasize on the strength of competition. I determine the fee based on these two things: how many pages are listed on the keyword (search result) and how strong the pages that are listed on first page of Google. So I don’t charge monthly nor charge based on page position change.

After keywords are agreed by client, then I’ll start the optimization process beginning from the On Page SEO. The client must accept any change I request to optimize their pages, no exceptions. After that then link building process begins.

When the client’s page has been gaining first page then my work is done. The estimation is the client’s page will be able to gain first page within 3 – 6 months. But as I said my work is done when the client’s page has been gaining first page, could be less than 3 months. I guarantee their page will still on first page lasts one month after the closing project. I also give money back guarantee if I failed to bring their pages on first page of Google within 6 months.

I was also thinking to offer (but as an optional) a monthly recurring fee for managing the SEO campaign on an ongoing basis, 30% to 50% of the initial charge.
