My company has been doing web hosting and design work for the past few years and are getting into online promotions and marketing. We believe that SEO plays a vital part of our new growth and have done numerous one time gigs for between $800 and $1200. Clients are always impressed to be put on the first page of Google for their keywords. We recently met with a new client that had several quotes and was surprised that ours didn't have a monthly retainer for SEO. How many of you out there have clients sign retainers for this type of work? After thinking about it, it makes sense from an online consulting stand point, but it seems that you do it once, and then continually tweak after that. If you do put them on retainers, what types of rates are you charging? We're based out of Florida, all have degrees, with one MBA. Are $2k monthly SEO retainers the future?
