How Much Does Google Search Engine Optimization Cost?
There is no free lunch in today’s world, what matters is what according to you is the cost. The money required to get results, time, or effort. In the case of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), I would say direct cash is low but there is a huge investment of time and effort. Are you one of the companies falling in either of category i.e. Small Company with limited Marketing Budget or Big Company with Huge Industrial Competition, in both the situation you have the challenge of Marketing and Branding yourself in order to get conversion at last. So now moving forward if these two companies want to be featured on any of the search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc they got to advertise. Now every action has a motive behind it, you need to measure your investment. For it’s not always that you have a positive ROI. It may happen so that advertisement cost incurred by a company was much more than the conversion that brings revenue moreover it may happen that A bigger company need to invest hugely to get a keyword that will generate more traffic (it’s just like the game of money- spend more to get the best keyword) in order hand a smaller company will either land up using the wrong keyword, that hardly bring traffic or finally decide not to advertise online and use the traditional method.
All the above things mentioned are those in which none of a company ever wishes to be because it makes the long term growth questionable. So why not try for an alternative option where you need not spend more but return would be tremendous. You would definitely feature on the first page of the search engine and you’re your cost incurred would be minimum. And the answer to the question is using Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The Company may try for On-Page Search Engine Optimization or Off-Page Search Engine Optimization to do Black-Hat or White-Hat.
