Value for money SEO and Link Building Packages
As the majority of clients who contact Benedict have faced challenges with previous SEO Companies, we have created four packages which clearly list EXACTLY what we will do for your company on a month to month basis, task by task, hour by hour, including relevant fees etc.
SEO prices are a source of friction within the industry. Benedict undertakes 'mystery shopper' experiments twice a year to see what other companies were charging and to ensure our prices offered value for money and were competitive. Getting a proposal proved to be a headache with most Digital service companies seemingly not interested in any project under &£15,000 per annum. When we increased the spend to &£1500pcm we managed to spark some interest.
None of the 17 proposals were clear on what 'we' would be paying for. Many were really brochures telling us about SEO and then listing costs at the end.
The typical price was between ?700 and ?900 per month. Contracts range from no contract to 12 months. The highest price quoted was &£12,000 pcm.
AT BENEDICT monthly retainers are actually worked out through quarterly targets. Depending on the size or difficulty of these targets monthly fees can range from ?900 to &£10,000+ pcm. Below is our rate card.
Our prices are transparent and our proposals list EXACTLY what you are getting for your money. There is no jargon, no long contracts and you can expect Benedict to go well beyond the number of hours you are contracted to receive

All of the work Benedict do requires planning and analysis. Before we begin work we will have sat down with a client and ascertained, who the website is aimed at, is it fit for purpose, what keywords are we going to optimise for and how are we going to convert that traffic into sales.
