Meanwhile, in this article, I’ll show you how we structure our services to offer you the most affordable and effective SEO services.
Before we dive in, let’s understand the difference between cheap vs affordable seo services.
Cheap Vs. Affordable SEO
The service quality is the main difference between ‘cheap’ and ‘affordable’ SEO. Although both strategies seem to save money, affordable search engine optimization services guarantee quality. On the other hand, cheap SEO services stoop too low in terms of cost but yield very little in the long run.
While small businesses have also not been left behind in the digital marketing strategy, an endless list of SEO agencies is cropping up. And as a business owner or blogger, you may fall into the hands of the cheap small business SEO service provider trying to beat competition with lower fees.
Sadly, you may end up only spending your money on low-cost search engine optimization services with only empty traffic to your website. Hence, conducting thorough research beforehand is brilliant.
Our team is one of the most reputable, conversion-driven and accountable to the results you desire. One of the reasons we decided to venture into this job is to save small businesses from shady search engine optimization agencies’ exploitation.
Our smaller packages (one building block at a time) assure you exceptional results within a short time.
Why Affordable SEO Consultants are Hard to Find
Quality content marketing experts are a hard-to-find. Yet, those that provide results-generating services quote a price your marketing budget can’t accommodate.
Very frustrating! Right?
However, you still want to need an experienced SEO expert for your small business as part of your online marketing strategy. Consequently, you run into 3 major ‘gaps’ in the market:
Gap 1: Want Long-Term Engagements that Cost $4000+ Per Month
Most SEO agencies and consultants want to lock you up in long-term, expensive contracts. Their contracts involve a full package of services, some of which you may not need. . Even so, long-term search engine optimization deals have their up and downsides like the unpredictable Google updates.
Benefits:
- High-quality content increases your potential traffic and, consequently, your audience.
- The content ranks exceptionally well in search engines, drawing people to your site to find out more about your products/services.
- Your SEO-fit content attracts backlinks, a great indicator that your content is valuable and reliable.
Drawbacks:
- The contracts are in bulk and expensive.
- Some agencies offer less incentive for excellence.
- The obligation to pay even when there’s no value addition to your business.
Expensive SEO Agencies
There’s no doubt that if you engage your content marketing in long-term SEO engagements, you must be ready to dig deeper into your pocket. However, the contract is worth your investment because the results are profitable.
Let’s look at an example hereunder.
A SaaS SEO agency offering customer-fit services designed to acquire, sell, and retain customers, not just rankings, keywords, and traffic.
Sounds like a great deal. Right? It’s indeed, but the agency charges $300/hr and $10,000/month. That can be strenuous for most small business owners. Also, some of the services may be irrelevant in your case.
Gap 2: Fail to Produce Advanced Or Specialized Content
You have bumped into SEO “experts” offering substandard services. Consequently, you end up with content that seems to be working but eventually fail flat. Such content just drives empty traffic to your website.
In short, it’s selling beginner-level ’ content to an experienced audience. That won’t positively impact leads, conversions, or revenue.
Take a look at the B2B/B2C examples below:
- A drone app company targeting experienced drone pilots with various apps to choose from. They want to know how better your product is than competitors.
- An SEO agency selling to top company managers and CEOs who don’t need basic information but how the agency can help optimize their content.
- A dental health center selling to potential clients that only need to know how it’ll solve their dental problems but not the definition of these services.
- A digital marketing firm targeting marketing directors who are specialized in the field.
Unqualified SEO agencies hire freelance writers with no in-depth knowledge of the topic they’re handling. As a result, they come up with shallow starter-level content.
The above type of content is good but fails to address the pain point of an audience with advanced knowledge in the field.
Gap 3: Unwilling to Be Accountable for Leads Generation
The other big issue you may find yourself in is the SEO service provider’s unwillingness to lead generation accountability. Some agencies just want to focus on content output.
Such companies’ deliverables are about the number of articles published, the number of keywords researched, and the number of SEO or technical issues solved. On the contrary, you’re interested in the results: Qualified leads that close at a high rate and increased revenue.
Businesses in the financial and fintech industry serve customers with advanced knowledge, therefore beginner-level kind of content won’t cut it. They need a more advanced SEO strategy.

Block 1: Our SEO Strategy
This ‘block’ is the primary package of our SEO services. It’s essential to start off an SEO campaign on the right footing. No need to shoot in the dark!

Let’s do content optimization for your blog.
Block 3: Content Briefs
Our content briefs ensure your writer produces advanced and specialized content. By this, I mean content that meets the target audience’s needs.
For instance, our outline guides the writer to produce ‘executive’ content if the article is addressing an executive audience. Such content is advanced and specialized. And introductory beginner’s content is irrelevant in this case.
Hence, as earlier mentioned, we do thorough research on your customers to understand their pain points and searcher intent. We can then provide content briefs that offer the solution.
Below are our services:
1. Fully Optimized Outline – We provide a comprehensive and fully optimized outline with headers, suggested word count, and meta-description. As a result, your content sends strong signals to Google that it’s useful and thereby ranks high.

4. Competitor Analysis – We analyze your competitors and provide links for your reference while writing. That allows you to align your content with theirs and identify any improvements you can make to rank better than theirs.

Note: You’ll be expected to provide the primary keyword unless the Strategy Package (Block 1) is added.
Block 4: Accountable for Traffic and Lead Growth
We are accountable for traffic and leads generated. We understand that you aim to obtain quality traffic and leads, not just content volume.
While some SEO service providers’ deliverables may be about the content volume ( ‘X’ articles with ‘Y’ word count), we focus on the results (producing quality leads that close at a high rate).
Hence, we provide monthly SEO reporting as indicated below:
- Organic results: We show your organic traffic’s changes so you can scan through your site to see traffic progress, top referrals, and engagement over time.
