Hi Shaun,

I agree with what you are saying to a point, however, I also think that there is still a place for cheaper SEO services.

My argument would be that it is always better to be doing SOME SEO, than NO SEO. Even if an SEO just tweaked a page title from “untitled” to “Buy Widget XYZ in Timbuktu” it is going to stand a better chance of ranking than without the change. The cost for changing a few page titles, shouldn’t come to anywhere near £150, if it is just a few pages. Anybody that says otherwise is overcharging. Where it SHOULD cost a lot more is paying for the knowledge and research time spent researching what the correct/best page titles should be. However, even a “best guess” from the site owner, who lets assume knows their business better than we do, will be better than a “untitled” page title.

So, I think so long as the customers expectations are reflected in the price they pay, then SEO can still be performed at a lower price… it will just take a lot longer to achieve the desired results. So long as both the client and the SEO know this, then that’s fine. Not every small business has thousands of pounds to spend from day 1. And using your analogy of the TV set… granted, they may not be able to afford the 100 inch Plasma immediately… but maybe they would consider a 40 inch LCD as a temporary measure until the 100 inch becomes affordable.

Thats my view anyway. I think the key thing is, both sides need to realise that the expectations must meet the budget available.
