Nearly every business today must decide how much to spend on search engine optimization (SEO). This isn't an if question. Robust online marketing is imperative for survival in a web-driven world.
SEO PAYMENT MODELS
SEO agencies usually offer four main forms of services and payment:

1.     Monthly retainer;
2.     Contract services at fixed prices;
3.     Project based pricing;
4.     Hourly consulting.

1.     MONTHLY RETAINER:
A client pays a set fee each month in exchange for an agreed-upon array of services. The monthly retainer is the most common payment model, because it provides the greatest ROI. Monthly retainer arrangements usually include regular analytics reports, on-site content improvements, keyword research press releases, link building, and optimization.

2.     CONTRACT SERVICES AT FIXED PRICES:
Contract services that a client wants to have completed before they engage into a monthly retainer prep. Services that an SEO agency offers are often advertised on their site, along with a price. A typical example of this is an SEO website audit which can help determine existing strengths and weaknesses in the client’s online presence, competitive analysis, as well as keywords that have the highest potential to return positive ROI.

3.     PROJECT-BASED PRICING:
Similar to contract services except that they are custom projects. The price varies depending on the complexity of the project assigned. If you wish to advertise your business, use SEO services and establish a strong social media presence as well, the SEO team you hired will evaluate the costs.

4.     HOURLY CONSULTING:
An hourly fee in exchange for services or information.
