    Hello,

    For the first time, someone abroad is asking me to do SEO for them. I'm not sure on how much to charge them. They are from Asia, specifically Thailand. Can someone enlighten me on how much are SEO services in that area?

    I will appreciate it.

    In my country (Philippines), SEO services cost you an average of $200 to $400 a month...cheaper but with quality. I suggest they must pay you upfront around $400-$500 for the first month, and for the next few months they will pay you less for maintenance of their websites' rankings. :)

    It sounds reasonable. Thank you.

    May I have another opinion, just in case?

    Charge what you are worth, not less and not more.

    I will say that's no standard, charge what you think is reasonable. You will not happy or satisfy if you charge too low, your customer will not happy/satisfy if you charge too high. However, the price shall depends on your skill.

    Some has standard range for the cost of the job, but it's up to you to ask for a reasonable salary according to your skills and the tasks that you'll handle

    well whatever the country is from, I think it's not logical to base your costs on the country where your client is but where you are located. Focus on what you can give and receive in return.

    When you tailor your pricing based on the client's perspective, look at it the other way around. Why do US and UK based companies / individuals outsource to Asia / India ? Because of the cost right, because apparently they seem cheaper. Imagine Asia/India based individuals providing quotes that are US standards. Not logical right.

    Stick to what you know, who you are, because it is you who lives with the standards of your own environment, not mentioning the taxes.
