A good SEO consultant should be able to deliver a measurable, positive return on your investment, making them “worth it”. For example, we aim for a 400% ROI as a minimum threshold for success, meaning you should make £4 for every £1 you put in.
You can find agencies and freelancers charging as little as £10 per hour, but as with anything in life, you get what you pay for. If you needed a builder, a surgeon, or a lawyer, you certainly wouldn’t trust the cheapest provider to do the best job, would you?
It’s the same with SEO.
As a guide, a study by Ahrefs found the average hourly rate for SEO is $111 USD. That’s roughly £90 for us here in the UK, which is about right based on our experience of the industry. If you’re paying much more than that, you should question the value for money. If you’re paying much less, you should question the quality of service.
It’s tough to find a consultant, especially if you’re a small business owner. You need to put your trust in somebody you don’t know. The best approach is to ask your network for recommendations (word of mouth is powerful!), but do your own research – check the reviews and case studies of any provider before going ahead. Also, don’t fall for boilerplate approaches, any SEO worth their salt should be creating a bespoke plan based on your needs, and they should be willing to deliver that plan on a contract which incentivises performance (if they try to tie you down on a 12+ month contract, run!).
We mostly work with SMEs. Typically, SEO agencies want to work with big, flashy brands and enterprise-level clients, and they charge a pretty penny to do so. SMEs can’t afford those prices, so they end up stuck in a loop – bouncing between cheap, low-quality providers without getting any results. We set up Searchmode to fix this issue, providing senior-level expertise at a reasonable rate.
We’re based in Manchester, but our SEO services extend to businesses all across the UK – and even some companies in the EU and the US. There’s no client too big or too small, we’re here to help your website grow with organic search advice and support that you can trust.
Everything you would expect: content strategy, technical SEO, market research, website migrations, link building, and more. If you’re unsure, just ask.
