    It can be expensive when companies claim to have 'helped achieve top organic rankings' more than 80% of seo companies are fake or do not know what they do. SEO can be inexpensive if you learn/read up on it yourself and then use individual services which are a lot more cheaper yet effective.

    I got a quote of $1,000 a month. Of course, this company showed me their clients and most of them were on page 1 of google searches.

    Like pretty much every other service-oriented industry, the costs associated with SEO will vary wildly depending on a number of factors (e.g., geographic location, quality of the company or consultant, actual services, etc.). As others have mentioned, DIY SEO is the cheapest option in terms of monetary cost, but it's the most expensive in terms of the time it takes to learn and stay current with the industry. If you decide to hire an SEO company, their fees will depend on how experienced they are and what you actually want them to do (e.g., seo audit, keyword research, copywriting, link building, etc.). Shop around, and get a few quotes. And do NOT trust anyone that guarantees top rankings within a short time period. That is almost always a strong indicator of a black hat company (or a scam).

    SEO can either be expensive or inexpensive depending upon the company you choose for marketing and optimizing your website. Each company would rate you with different price quotes ranging between a 100 $ to 800 $ per month....

    The cost of using a professional SEO service will depend on a lot of different things and all companies will vary with their pricing. Your best bet is to ask what SEO services others use (to get a good recommendation) and go off of that to compare pricing and quality of service for each company.

    if you do it yourself, its free. if you hire someone, price will vary on whom you hire. some will quote you pennies and promise you the world. people who know what they are doing will charge you fairly for their services. at the end of the day, you get what you pay for

    SEO is an investment in your business, but it does depend on what people are doing for your site, how much the niche is worth and the competition.

    Many people complain about the high cost of Search Engine Optimization. It is true that in very competitive fields, it can be very costly to compete, but no one can change that – at least not for now. Paid Search (pay per click) often does not offer to get the job done much more affordably than SEO does and the competition factor also plays a huge role there as well.

    SEO is cheap if you do it yourself and just outsource the time-taking stuff.

    If you want to hire a service. It will be expensive.

    SEO experts charge a lot (ofcourse, they give results), however, many people who are new to Internet and try to make money online quote a small amount. There services are worst though. It is better to learn basic SEO and hire a real expert to work on challenging task in SEO.

    SEO is always dynamic, what works now may not be the case in a few years; or even months time. SEO can be learned by reading up and visiting forums dedicated to SEO, there is no need to spend vasts amount of money on an SEO company when those same companies are probably gleaning all they know from the same SEO forums
