At UPtimiser we believe in a data-led SEO approach hence understanding Googles algorithm implications sits at the forefront of all our strategic planning. We have created above chart to provide clients with a simple overview of core optimisation requirements.

And How Long Does It Takes To See SEO Results?

There a lot of different variables that play into how quickly you can see results once you have started doing SEO. Benchmark organic search traffic, content, web design&UX, domain age & authority, number & quality of referring domains, ranking & direct competition as well as your target market all need to be taken into consideration to determine how quickly you can see performance improvements.

performance seo graph - SEO Services Pricing

Once you start optimising your website it will usually take some time before any meaningful ranking improvements are achieved. Once Google has crawled and indexed all fresh content updates it will usually take at least 3-4 weeks for less competitive keywords to show some positive movements and another 3-4 month for more competitive ones.

Obviously there are a lot of different variables but usually we will see the first significant organic search ranking improvements around month 6 and on wards. The benefits of SEO compounds over time so setting up the right foundation in the initial stage will help your website to deliver maximum results in the foreseeable future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shouldn’t SEO be free?

Organic search listings are free but to get to the top of Google requires labour-intensive and on-going optimisation efforts. If you want to achieve any meaningful organic ranking results a monthly budget is advisable.

How much does SEO cost per month?

Monthly investments vary based on several factors. First it really depends on the state of your website and your benchmark organic ranking performance. A new website with little online visibility who is operating in a very competitive industry will need to make bigger initial and monthly investments as a more established website which is already ranking for several relevant high volume keywords. Also commissioning an agency vs working with freelancer can impact cost. It is important to compare rates and scope as well as understand projected ranking and traffic growth.

How much do freelancers charge?

It depends on the expertise of the respective freelancer. As freelancers usually work on an hourly rate model they might not necessarily be cheaper then working with an agency on an on-going bases. If a freelancer provides very cheap rates it is probably a sign that he either doesn’t what he is doing or uses shady black hat tactics which can ultimately do more harm to your website.

What’s the different between SEO & SEM?

Search Engine Marketing or SEM is an overarching term that includes different search marketing tactics such as Google Ads and SEO. Both disciplines help businesses by promoting websites and pushing them to the top of search engine listings to deliver increased visibility and subsequently increase traffic and leads.

Are there any pricing guidelines?

There are 4 ways to contract us for SEO services, refer to the section above to understand and compare the different pricing models.

What SEO components do your prices include?
