    Hi all,

    I am currently providing SEO report services but the response is not so good.. I would appreciate if anyone can give me some advice. Is the report overpriced for $28 etc?

    Thank you.

    I've seen another SEO Book sell for $79, so I don't know if yours is over priced when compared to others.

    Sometimes people buy because of the 'Brand' . The $79 SEO book was sold because of too much buzz around and the author has a name in the SEO field.

    If you can put a 'name' behind the service then it would be much easier to market.

    I don't think your service is overpriced but you might consider working on your landing page.

    Some great advice here, thanks.

    I have one more question.. if you were a customer looking for a professional seo report service, will you choose mine after you looked through my page? If no, may I know what's the reason?

    1. Too expensive
    2. Poor design
    3. Content not convincing
    4. Just don't feel like it..

    I would appreciate your feedback :)

    I'm an eBusiness adviser in the UK so I'm familiar with the costs of producing such a report.

    I'd suggest you are under-pricing your services which is leading people to think you are offering a low quality service. They're not purchasing as they think they will be throwing their money away

    I suggest the following:

    1. Work out what YOUR costs are in producing the report
    2. Look around to see what your competitors are charging
    3. Add a margin that’s in keeping with what you think makes it a worthwhile use of your time and is in keeping with what your competitors are offering. You can always raise this later. Bear in mind that it will depend on the type of companies you are working with and how much money they have to spend on such services.
    4. Change your web site - everyone's a critic in this game, but unless your site is professional, clearly laid out and simple to use, NO ONE is going to purchase your services
    5. Testimonials, Testimonials, Testimonials! Ask clients for feedback and promote it on your site. Link to their site to show they are real.

    Good luck

    The price is good IMO, but you need a better site design. Something more clean looking.

    My two cents:
    these are things i'd change and what i feel (if i ended up in your page trying to buy an SEO report)

    1> I'd get a logo instead of the banner
    2> Light backgrounds are more professional to me. Just plain white would be good, play around with it, the design sure needs to change
    3> Are those featured sites the sites you have worked for before? If so, create another page for them. Otherwise, if you're just selling text links...it discounts your credibility

    P.S. you might want to ask for a review in the review section
